Answer:

<h2>The answer in this case would be option C. or Inferior.</h2>

Explanation:

  • A perfectly competitive market structure is characterized by numerous buyers/consumers and sellers/producers pertaining to the market for any particular good or service.The product or service sold in the perfectly competitive market is customarily similar or homogeneous.
  • There are no legal and administrative barriers to entry or exit for any individual firm or company in the perfectly competitive market structure eventually leading to higher level of market competition or rivalry.
  • High level or market competition or rivalry hinders the market power or price making ability of the firms or companies indicating that no single or individual firm or company in the market cannot determine the market price for the concerned good or service in the market and hence,they do not have any control over the market price.
  • In contrast,in relatively non-competitive markets such as monopolistic competition,characterized by differentiated or heterogeneous products or services generally experience relatively low market competition or rivalry providing respective firms or companies with relatively higher market power or control over the market price of the concerned product or service.Hence,in non-competitive markets with differentiated or heterogeneous products or services,the individual firms or companies can somehow determine the market price for the concerned product or service according to their profit maximizing intentions or behavior.
  • Therefore,overall profitability of the firms or companies in non-competitive firms is relatively higher compared to competitive firms or companies mainly due to product or service differentiation and difference in market competition or rivalry and price making ability or level of market power.

At the high level of activity in November, 12000 machine hours were run and power costs were $20000. In April, a month of low ac
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

$6,500

Explanation:

For computing the estimated fixed cost, we have to determine the variable cost per hour which is shown below:

Variable cost per hour = (High power cost - low power cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)

= ($20,000 - $11,000) ÷ (12,000 hours - 4,000 hours)

= $9,000 ÷ 8,000 hours

= $1.125

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High power cost - (High machine hours × Variable cost per hour)

= $20,000 - (12,000 hours × $1.125)

= $20,000 - $13,500

= $6,500

In ________, salespeople are independent contractors who not only sell the product, but also recruit additional salespeople.
belka [17]

Answer:

Multi-level marketing.

Explanation:

A business organization that is run with multi-level marketing strategy typically has 3 sources of income:

- The amount of money that each person have to pay in order to gain the membership status.

- The amount of money that memberships owners have to pay to be a distributor of their product

- The amount of money that they get from the sales of their product.

Most multi-level marketing companies will provide their members with some sort of 'Reward' if they managed to convert other people into purchasing memberships to organization. So, the more their members convert other people, the more wealthy that members will be. This will create a hierarchy like within an organization where the members who bring the most memberships place at the top of the hierarchy.

Under normal conditions (70% probability), Plan A will produce $20,000 higher return than Plan B. Under tight money conditions (
Lorico [155]

Answer:

A. ($16,000)

Explanation:

The computation of the expected value of return equal to

=  (Higher return × probability rate) - (Less return -  probability rate)

= ($20,000 × 70%) - ($100,000 × 30%)

= $14,000 - $30,000

= - $16,000

For computing the correct value we have to deduct the tighter money conditions from the normal conditions.
