Answer:

Increased Competition

Explanation:

Free trade is very important and has various positives on the welfare of an economy. One benefit of free trade is increased competition. When domestic monopolies begin to face stiff competition from new entrants from other countries, competition is increased and hence organization will cut cost and try to be highly efficient in its services. In the case of Sapphira, free trade has ensured that they are unable to increase their prices above competition, a benefit of free trade known as increased competition.

Answer: increased competition

Explanation:

Without the existence of a free trade, Sapphira is acting in the capacity of a monopolistic seller and as such can fix price at whatever level she wants to fix it. This changes with the introduction of free trade, as similar products are allowed to come in with lower prices and in order to keep up she has to lower her prices also.

Short-term, intermediate-term, and​ long-term goals are similar in that all represent important financial objectives to be accom
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Though its not explicity mentioned in the question, I am assuming you want to know the correct option. The correct option in this case is option 2.

Explanation:

As stated in the question, the difference in classifying goals as either long term, short term or intermediate depends on the time frame involved.

Short term goals can be achieved in a few months generally and are set to define goals with the time horizon of a maximum of 1 year.

A long term goal, as the term suggests, is one that takes a significant amount of time. Generally, long term goals are set using a time frame of 10 years.

Given that long term goals cover a longer time period while a short term goal covers a span of 1 year, individuals many times set intermediate goals to keep them motivated. Intermediate goals therefore generally cover a time frame of 2 to 5 years.

Therefore, in the context of the question, these three types of goals can take from 1 to 10 years to accomplish

Which curve shows increasing opportunity cost as you give up more of one option?
VladimirAG [237]

Production Possibilities Curve (PPC) shows increasing opportunity costs as you give up one or more options. This curve is usually bow-shaped in the middle because as you produce more of one good, your capacity to produce the second good is diminished.

just olya [345]

Solution:

The question is incomplete. Please check the attached file for complete question.

Depreciation here is ignored for forecasting as no data is available.

All the assets including the Fixed assets is increased by 9 %, which is the rate of the increase in Sales.

(Assuming that all the additional debt in a form of the line of credit is being added at the end of a year

We consider that our company was fully operating at the full capacity in the year 2018, that it did not sell off any of the fixed assets of the company, and  any required financing is borrowed as the notes payable.)

The two statements above may appear conflicting and also contradicting to each other. Let us assume that the second statement is correct.

You went to the market one day,describe an incident that happened there.(essay form)<br>​
Lelu [443]

Answer:

See the explanation Section

Explanation:

Every day I have to go to the market to purchase day to day utensils. Recently I witnessed a severe incident there. Before the incident day, I bought two pounds of onion with forty BDT. After the very next day, the price increased to 100. That happened due to the syndicate of businessmen and agents. However, it is challenging for the general people to take immediate action against them. That incident occurred due to the crisis of onions around the market. Moreover, there was little import from the neighboring countries.
