Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

A cartel can be defined as a group of independent producers who come together to form a group in order to improve profits. In an oligopoly market, there are few firms in the market. The firms are such that the economic decisions of one firm or producer affects their rivals.  

In such a situation, the firms come together to form a cartel to protect their interests. In a cartel, production limits are set for all producers so that the price is high. But cartels are generally short-lived.  

This is because the individual producers have incentives to cheat the cartel by producing more than a set limit so that they can increase their profit and market share.

oee [108]

Answer:

$119,176.06

Explanation:

Calculation for How much would you need to invest in B today

First step is to calculate the Future value of annuity (FVA)

FVA =$2,500 * ({[1 + (.115 / 12)](5 × 12) - 1} / (.115 / 12))

FVA = $201,462.23

Since we have known the FVA Second Step will be to calculate the Present value (PV)

PV = $201,462.23 × e-1 × .105 × 5

PV= $119,176.06

Therefore the amount that you would need to invest in B today will be $119,176.06
