Because the manufacturer is also the entity selling the good or service, prices tend to be lower in a direct distribution channel. Indirect channels, on the other hand, generally see higher prices because of the number of intermediaries involved. The more there are, the higher the price.
Answer:
The correct answer is option II and III only.
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition is a market structure where there is a large number of buyers and sellers. The sellers in this market sell differentiated products which are close substitutes.
There is a very low restriction on the entry of new firms in the market. Because of differentiated products each firm has some degree of market power. The firms face a downward-sloping demand curve. This means that the firms decide the price level.

Answer:
External funds needed = $40,000.
Explanation:
An increase in the firm's retained earnings (a component of the shareholder's equity) arises as a result of higher sales volume, thereby making the Asset = Liability + Shareholder's Equity Equation unbalanced.
Therefore, there must be an increment in the firm's assets by an equal amount in order to re balance the equation. If there is an increase in assets by a greater magnitude than retained earnings increment, the gap is filled by external financing (which is a liability and increases the liability component of the equation).
Net income = Sales * profit margin = $500000*10% = $50000
Dividend= Net income * payout ratio = $50000*20%= $10000
Increase in retained earnings = Net income - Dividend = $(50000-10000)
= $40000
Increase in assets = $80000
External funds needed = $(80000-40000) = $40,000.
