Answer:

The ground shipment option is more economical

Explanation:

The costs of each option of shipment would be a good starting point in deciding which is more economical

Ground shipment costs:

Cost per day $21.09

number of days

cost=$21.09*3

       =$63.27

Air option

Number of days 2

cost per day $21.09

additional charge

cost=standard charge* days+additional charge

        =($21.09*2)+$30.00

       =$72.18

Above all the ground shipment option of $63.27 is more economical compared to the air option of $72.18

grigory [225]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Earn zero economic profit.

For markets that have many companies offering similar products or services, monopolistic competition exists. Restaurants, grocery stores, and clothing stores, for example. Such similar products or services are not ideal replacements for each other in monopolistic competition. In the short run, the economic profit of the firms is positive but in the long run, the economic profit approaches to zero.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) adequate resources.

Explanation:

Resources will be the second type of assets, with which we will work to create services. Resources essentially deal with quantitative aspects, that is, elements that I can count, whether material or immaterial. We will also talk about human resources in terms of personnel, for example, how many network administrators I have, how many programmers or how many software architects I have at my disposal. Regarding resources, we will also talk about financial resources, such as what is the budget given to me, and we will also count the material resources, for example, all the hardware I keep in control, the same for the software, and even other resources of all kinds depending on the type of external suppliers.

Product A                                      6,000 units

Product B                                      6,250 units

                                          Break-event point

Product A                                      6,000 units
