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.

"Consider a C corporation. The corporation earns $2.5 per share before taxes. After the corporation has paid its corresponding t
Advocard [28]

Answer:

$0.70 per stock

Explanation:

before tax corporate income = $2.50 per stock

after tax corporate income = $2.50 x (1 - 30%) = $1.75 per stock

distributed dividends = $1.75 x 50% = $0.875 per stock

since the tax rate on dividends is 20%, then the after tax gain earned by stockholders is $0.875 x (1 - 20%) = $0.70 per stock

Some dividends are taxed as long term capital gains (like these), which decreases the tax rate paid by stockholders. If they were taxed at the normal income rate, the tax rate would have been 8% higher.

President obama announced a $100,000,000 humanitarian aid package to haiti to support its earthquake relief. england's parliamen
Julli [10]

Answer: The parliament is likely to allocate £ 1,23,93,800.62

We arrive at the answer as follows:

Amount allocated by President Obama    $100,000,000

Amount England wants to contribute        20% of President Obama's allocation

Amount England wants to contribute in USD  =

                                              0.2 * 100,000,000 = USD 2,00,00,000  

Exchange Rate                                      $1. 61371/1 pound sterling

We can read the problem as if $1.61371 is equal to 1 pound sterling, how many pound sterlings are equal to $2,00,00,000?

Let number of pound sterlings be x

So, \frac{1.61371}{1}= \frac{100000000}{x}

x = \frac{100000000}{1.61731}

x = 1,23,93,800.62

Dustin and Quinn were given an apple pie and a chocolate cake, and need to divide them. Dustin values the apple pie at $6 and th
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Quinn values the apple pie at $4 and the chocolate cake at $10 = total $14

  1. since one "half" will only be chocolate, he needs $7 out of chocolate = 7/10 of the chocolate cake.
  2. the other "half" will include 3/10 of chocolate cake and the whole apple pie = (3/10 x $10) + $4 = $3 + $4 = $7

If Dustin chooses the second "half" he will receive 3/10 of chocolate cake and the whole apple pie = (3/10 x $4) + $6 = $1.20 + $6 = $7.20
