Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": The firm must be subsidized or it will go bankrupt.

Explanation:

A subsidy is a benefit given to an individual, business or institution, typically by the government. Subsidies are given to promote a social good or economic policy. The government usually provides subsidies in the form of cash or tax breaks, low-rate loans, and certain types of rebates.

In the example, as the commission sets the price of the monopoly products below the average total cost, it will be translated in losses. Then, a subsidy will be necessary to be provided otherwise the company will file for bankruptcy.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

<u>Explanation</u>:

High Prices: This is often happens when a consumer isn't aware of the average price of a particular product and may be the taken advantage of by the seller.

False or Incomplete product description: Online shopping often presents this type of exploitation. For example, an individual may buy a wrist watch he thinks is made of silver, but receives the item an discover it is actually made of rubber material.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

$4.50

Explanation:

In order to make a profit from the futures contracts, it would be appropriate to take a long position in the  June futures contract(buy) and take a short position in the December futures contract.

loan repayment=$60*(1+5%/2)=$ 61.50  

In December, sell crude oil at $66 and repay the loan principal and interest
