Answer:
a. The supplier has more bargaining power than the firm.
Explanation:
This is an example of one of Porters' five forces. The supplier has a monopoly and thus entertains a high market share. This means that the supplier has more bargaining power than the firm as if the firm wants the ceramic there are no alternative options available for the firm; however, if the firm does not want supplies, the supplier can find plenty of firms that may need the ceramic thus making supplier more powerful than the firm.
Hope that helps.
Answer: quantity demanded for the good will increase (D)
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition is an imperfect competition where there are many producers that sell products that are differentiated from each another e.g through quality or branding.
In a monopolistic competitive market, firms maximizes profits when marginal revenue equals to the marginal cost. The demand curve of a monopolistic competitive market is downward sloping which means that as price reduces, the quantity demanded for the good will increase.
Answer:
112 customers per day
Explanation:
For computing the needed capacity requirement, first we have to find out the new utilization rate which is shown below:
Capacity cushion = 100% - average utilization rate
25% = 100% - average utilization rate
So, the average utilization rate is 75%
Now the needed capacity requirement is
Utilization rate = Average output rate ÷ Maximum capacity × 100
75% = 84 ÷ Maximum capacity × 100
So, the maximum capacity is 112 customers per day
We simply applied the above formula to determine the needed capacity requirement
Answer:
$39,220
Explanation:
The maturity value of the note receivable on June 30, 2012
= Principal + Interest
= $40,000 + $40,000 x 6%
= $40,000 + $2,400
= $ 42,400
The note is discounted on September 30, 2011. Time period remaining to go till maturity as on September 30, 2011
= 12 - 3 months ( July, Aug and Sep)
= 9 months.
Amount of deduction
= $ 42,400 x 10% x 9/12
= $ 3,180
Finally, the Cash received by Ireland will be
= Maturity value - Discount
= $42,400 - $ 3,180
= $39,220
The answer is: averaged over time, Sheridan attends worship services regularly.
When we use principle of aggregation, we would not rely on single measurement to make a representation of a person's behavior. We rely more on multiple sets of measurements.
From the case above, Sheridan not attending the services for two weeks could be explained by things such as personal issues or physical illness. Since she considers herself as religious who attend regularly, it is very likely that averaged over time, Sheridan attends worship services regularly.
