Answer:

The correct answer is B. A firm charges less than the cost to make the product so as to enter or win a market.

Explanation:

Dumping is a tactic of penetration into international markets, which consists in setting prices below the real cost at which the company has made the export (the company that sells to another country), making it possible for the prices of said product they are inferior in the foreign country than in the country that manufactured them.

Quite simply, dumping refers to cases in which a product is sold in another country at a lower price than it has been produced. For example, suppose the case of shoes.

Company A produces shoes at a cost of $ 10 in country A. Its intention is to sell them in country B. So, finally, it exports shoes to B and sells them for $ 8. That is, below the production price.

Why would a company sell below the cost of production? It seems weird that a company sells below the cost of production. Since this means losing money.

The intention behind this is to gain market share and expel competitors. If a company has the capacity to assume such losses for a certain period of time, and other companies do not, the consequence is clear. The most powerful company will remain in the market and the rest will have to close.

Once the competitors have disappeared, the company that sold below cost price takes advantage of its position of power to set higher prices and earn more money.

How can a country achieve higher levels of competition and a variety of products in an industry with only one or two domestic fi
SSSSS [86.1K]

Through promoting intra-industry trade, a country can increase levels of competition and the range of products produced in an industry with only one or two local enterprises producing a good. International trade for goods produced by the same business is known as intra-industry trade.

According to the idea of economies of scale, production costs often decrease as output scale increases. When it makes it possible for one or two large producers to supply the entire country, it becomes particularly important to international trade. A way to maintain consumer choice and competition while combining economies of scale-driven lower average manufacturing costs is through international trade.

Assume that Global Cleaning Service performed cleaning services for a department store on account for​ $180. How would this tran
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

(B) Increase both assets and equity by $180

Explanation:

The transaction analysis model tells us that:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

Owner's equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings

Retained Earnings = Net Income − Dividends

and

Net Income = Income − Expenses

The expanded accounting equation is obtain if all substitutions are made:

Asset = Liabilities + Contributed Capital + Income – Expenses − Dividends

In the Global Cleaning Service`s case:

Assets are increased either because the service is collected or is an account receivable. As the service provided is a revenue (income) is part of the Owner's Equity that also increase. Both, Asset and Owner's Equity, increase in 180.
