Answer:

b. location clustering near high traffic flows

Explanation:

Proximity to customers is a major consideration when deciding on a business location.  A business situated in areas with many potential customers has a high probability of succeeding. Restaurants are usually strategically situated in places with heavy customer flow.  

Restaurants may be established near offices, in market places, near public transport terminus, or other location convenient to customers.  With time, customers tend to associate that particular building, area, or street with restaurants. As the area becomes synonymous with restaurants, more customers will visit it, leading to more restaurants to open in that locality.

Assume that in a monopolistically competitive industry, firms are earning economic profit. This situation will:
forsale [732]

Answer:

attract other firms to enter the industry, causing the existing firms' profits to shrink.

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition can be defined as an imperfect competition where many producers or organizations sell differentiated products that are not perfect substitutes. Examples of firms or organizations engaging in a monopolistic competition are restaurants, shoes, clothing lines etc.

Generally, a monopolistic competitive market is characterized by the presence of large numbers of firm (producers) and a very low entry barrier.

Hence, in a monopolistic competition, firms have a degree of control over price, make independent decisions and can freely enter or exit the market in the long-run. Therefore, these firms combine elements of both monopoly and competition.

When a monopolistically competitive firm is in long-run equilibrium marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost (MR = MC) . This ultimately implies that in the long-run, firms engaging in monopolistic competitive market are often going to manufacture the quantity of goods where the marginal cost (MC) curve intersect with the marginal revenue (MR). Also, the price set would be greater than the minimum average total cost (ATC).

Hence, assuming that in a monopolistically competitive industry, firms are earning economic profit. This situation will attract other firms to enter the industry, causing the existing firms' profits to shrink.

Gardner Corporation manufactures skateboards and is in the process of preparing next year's budget. The pro forma income stateme
Serhud [2]

Answer:

$636,364

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The break-even point for Gardner Corporation for the current year is

First step is to calculate the Variable costs

Variable costs = $250,000 + $150,000 + $75,000 + $200,000

Variable costs = $675,000

Second step is to calculate the Contribution margin ratio

Contribution margin ratio = (Sales - Variable costs) / Sales

Contribution margin ratio= ($1,500,000 - $675,000) / $1,500,000

Contribution margin ratio= 0.55*100

Contribution margin ratio = 55%

Now let calculate the Break-even point

Break-even point = Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio

Break-even point= ($100,000 + $250,000) / 0.55

Break-even point = $636,364

Therefore The break-even point (rounded to the nearest dollar) for Gardner Corporation for the current year is:$636,364

Wesley's grandfather was a sharecropper, farming someone else's land. wesley's father was a farmer who farmed his own land. wesl
KonstantinChe [14]
<span>This reflects upward mobility and globalization. It also reflects a tendency by Wesley and his father to follow in their fathers' footsteps and choose a similar (in this case agricultural) career path. It reflects upward mobility because farming your own land is more prestigious and profitable that being a sharecropper, comparing Wesley's father to his grandfather's situation; and owning and international dairy company is more prestigious and profitable than owning one farm. Wesley's role in the world market also represents globalization, as this global market was likely not open to his father or grandfather.</span>

The management at Burgerjoy, a small restaurant, finds that the lower the price of hamburgers, the more hamburgers are sold. Thi
Anika [276]

Answer:

Negative linear

Explanation:

Negative linear is when two variables move in the opposite direction.  Movement by one variable causes the other to move in the opposite direction. Negative linear is similar to an indirect relationship between the variable.  For Bungerjoy, the variables are price and sales of hamburgers.

An observation has been made that if the price of hamburgers decreases, the sales increase. Changes in the price of the hamburgers will result in sales moving in the opposite direction.  Positive linear correction is when two variables move in the same direction.
