The best strategy would be to cancel the job cuts till the time the market situation and the entry operations stabilize.

Answer: Option E

<u>Explanation:</u>

The decision of outsourcing the operations taken by the businesses is done to ease out the work and give it outside the company because they themselves can not work upon it. But if this leads to criticisms, then it should be stopped.

The best strategy that the computer company should have is to cancel the job cuts to get the positive reactions back. The company should not go to labor of other areas cutting jobs of its own labor because this will harm it's image in the market and affect the productivity.

An oligopolistic market structure is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is either similar or identical produ
mixas84 [53]

Answer: Option B and C

         

Explanation: In simple words, oligopoly refers to the market structure in which there are few firms operating at a huge level and selling products that are close but not absolute substitutes of each other.

     The high level of investment and too much of legal formalities makes it difficult to entry in such industries. Firms in such industries produce identical goods thus they do not compete in the amaretto with respect to price.

the firms operate their market on the basis of non price factors such as advertisements but still are mutually interdependent on each other as a minor decrease in price of other can deregulate the demand in the whole industry. Automobile sector is one the primary examples of oligopoly.

Sarah's utility function is represented as: U = F0.5C0.5, F is quantity of food and C is quantity of clothing. If Sarah's budget
san4es73 [151]

Explanation:

Utility function is given by U=F^0.5C^0.5

Find the MRS which is -MUF / MUC

MUF = dU/dF = 0.5F^-0.5C^0.5

MUC = dU/dC = 0.5F^0.5C^-0.5

Now MRS = -(0.5F^-0.5C^0.5) / (0.5F^0.5C^-0.5)

= -(C^0.5C^0.5)/(F^0.5F^0.5)

= - C/F

From the budget constraint, we have slope = -Price ratios = -coefficient of F / coefficient of C = -2/1 or -2.

At the optimal choice, utility function is tangent to budget line so MRS = slope of budget line

- C/F = -2

C = 2F

Use C = 2F in the budget equation

120 = 2F + 2F

120 = 4F

F = 120/4 = 30 units

Then C = 2F = 2*30 = 60 units

Hence her optimal bundle of consumption should be 30F and 60C

(This is the correct answer. For a generalized results, I have attached the derivation of formulas)
