5 0

Answer:

Letter b is correct.<em> A monopolistically competitive firm faces competition from firms producing close substitutes.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Monopolistic competition</u> is an economic situation that occurs when companies exhibit imperfect competition, that is, companies market similar but not identical products, which characterize them as substitute but not perfect substitute products.

Products may have different variables, such as quality, price and reputation in the market. The greater the degree of product differentiation, the more price control the company will have.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Government policymakers decided to reduce the rate of inflation from 3% to 1.6%. As a result, the unemployment rate increased from 4.8% to 6.2%. The sacrifice ratio is:______

d. none of the above

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Old inflation rate = 3%

New inflation rate = 1.6%

Old unemployment rate = 4.8%

New unemployment rate = 6.2%

Ratio of old inflation rate to old unemployment rate = 3 : 4.8 = 0.625

Ratio of new inflation rate to new unemployment rate = 1.6% : 6.2% = 0.258

Sacrifice ratio = Difference between the two ratios = 0.367 (0.625 - 0.258)

b) The sacrifice ratio is the difference between the old ratio and the new ratio of inflation rate to unemployment rate.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

d. the business judgment rule will not apply.

Explanation:

A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.

One of the advantage of a corporation is that, owners have limited liability for debt to the extent to which they have invested and as such are not personally liable for some of debt owed by corporation.

A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of providing guidance, support, supervision, administrative control, as well as acting as a role model or example to the employees working in an organization by being morally upright.

Generally, managers are typically involved in taking up leadership roles and as such are expected to be build a strong relationship between their employees or subordinates by creating a fair ground for effective communication and sharing of resources and information. Also, they are required to engage their staff members (entire workforce) in the most efficient and effective manner.

In Business management, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a manager's corporate decision amounted to self-dealing i.e putting his or her own interests first, the business judgment rule will not apply.

Generally, in order for the business judgement rule to apply, it is expected or required that a manager should act in the best interest of a corporation.
