Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

The association of De Beers and its affiliated producers is a cartel.

A cartel is formed by the producers in an oligopoly market, in order to protect their interests and earn higher profits. Forming a cartel is generally not legal in many countries. Cartels can be formed both formally and informally.

Members of a cartel can fix a higher price to earn more profit.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

unrelated diversification

Explanation:

According to my research on different business strategies, I can say that based on the information provided within the question this is an example of unrelated diversification. This is a type of diversification in which a business adds completely new and unrelated product lines to their business and enter new markets. Which is what Marigold Manufacturers Inc is doing since they sell home appliances and decided to enter into the market of women's fashion apparel.

Division A offers its product to outside markets for $30. It incurs variable costs of $11 per unit and fixed costs of $75,000 pe
olga55 [171]

Answer:

a. See part a below for the analysis.

b. We have:

1. Division A total cost = $1,131,000

2. Division A total profit or benefit = $1,509,000

3. Division B total cost = $1,320,000

4. Division A total profit or benefit = $44,000

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of calculation of costs and benefits of options available to Divisions A and B.

a. What are the costs and benefits of the alternatives available to Division A and Division B with respect to the transfer of Division A's product? Assume that Division A can market all that it can produce.

Under this condition, each analysis is based on the condition that either Division A or Division B will pay for the transportation cost.

From part a the attached excel file, we have:

1. Division A will incur a total cost of of $559,000 and gets a profit or benefit of $761,000 if it sells to the outside market.

2. Division A will incur a total cost of of $647,000 and gets a profit or benefit of $673,000 if it sells to Division B.

3. Division B will incur a total cost of $1,408,000 if it buys from Division A.

4. Division B will incur a total cost of $1,364,000 if it buys alternate supplier. It thereby saves the transportation cost of $88,000 of buying from A as a benefit.

b. How would your answer change if Division A had idle capacity sufficient to cover all of Division B's needs?

Under this condition, it is assumed that Division A will pay for the transportation cost. Therefore, Division A will sell to both the outside market and Division B.

From part b of the attached excel file, we will have the following based on this condition:

1. Division A total cost = Total cost of selling to the outside market + Total cost of selling to Division B = $559,000 + $572,000 = $1,131,000

2. Division A profit or benefit cost = Total profit or benefits of selling to the outside market + Total profit or benefits of selling to Division B = $761,000 + $748,000 = $1,509,000

3.  Division B will incur a total cost of $1,320,000 by buying from Division A. It thereby saves $44,000 (i.e. $1,364,000 - $1,320,000 = $44,000) as a benefit for not buying from alternate supplier.

Answer:

Cognitive dissonance

Explanation:

Cognitive dissonance is a psychological notion when an individual experiences thoughts and emotions that are not consistent (no matter the environment). In this example, it was expected from Fatima to quit her job (since she hated the manager). In spite of that, she continued to work. That caused the cognitive dissonance in her behavior, as she changed her attitude.
