Naddika [18.5K]3 years ago

Answer:

B. Consumers

Explanation:

In business, consumers are the most vulnerable groups. Governments have enacted fraud laws to safeguard the rights of consumers.  As enterprises seek profits, the laws seek to hold sellers accountable for the products or services they provide.

The laws provide mechanisms for consumers to fight back against abusive business practices. If unchecked, sellers may take advantage of consumers' ignorance and low bargaining power.

Cost of acquisition $4,000,000

zvonat [6]

Answer:

c. firms are free to enter and exit the market.

Explanation:

A monopolistically competitive market is a market in which there are a lot of organizations that sell products that are similar and it tends to be easy to enter and leave the industry. Because it is easy for a company to enter the market and there is a lot of competition, in the long run the economic profit is zero. According to this, the answer is that in the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because firms are free to enter and exit the market.

The other options are not right because a monopolistically competitive market has zero profits because of its low entry barriers and amount of competitors not because of government regulations or an illegal agreement between organizations to control competition. Also, in a monopolistically competitive market the products are similar.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Materials = 23,000 units

Conversion Costs = 23,000 units

Explanation:

Note that the weighted-average method is being used to calculate the equivalent units.

Using this method, we are interested only in calculating equivalent units in units that were completed and transferred and units of ending work in process.

<u>Calculation of equivalent units of production for Materials and Conversion Costs.</u>

Materials

Completed and transferred (20,000 units × 100%)     20,000

Ending Work In Process (5,000 units × 60%)                 3,000

Equivalent units                                                              23,000

Conversion Cost

Completed and transferred (20,000 units × 100%)     20,000

Ending Work In Process (5,000 units × 60%)                 3,000

Equivalent units                                                              23,000

Item 1Item 1 Thomas invests $109 in an account that pays 6 percent simple interest. How much money will Thomas have at the end o
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Total amount at the end of 4 years = $135.16

Explanation:

A simple interest account pays interest on only the sum deposited at an annual rate for a specified period of time without compounding or adding the interest earned in a particular period in the calculation of interest earning for the next period. Thus, if 1000 is invested and interest s earned at 10% then the interest earned will remain constant for every period the money is still deposited in the account.

The formula to calculate interest under simple interest method is,

Interest = Principal * Annual Rate * Time in years

Total Interest earned = 109 * 6% * 4

Total interest earned = 26.16

Total amount at the end of 4 years = Principal + Interest

Total amount at the end of 4 years = 109 + 26.16

Total amount at the end of 4 years = $135.16
