Answer:

The options for this question are the following:

A. a cartel, as the three airlines together would attempt to coordinate policies in the local market to jointly maximize profits.

B. monopolistic competitors, as each firm would have to differentiate its airline services from its rivals.

C. perfect competitors, as each firm would sell travel services at the same fares as the other airlines.

D. kinked demand curve oligopolists.

The correct answer is A. a cartel, as the three airlines together would attempt to coordinate policies in the local market to jointly maximize profits.

Explanation:

A cartel is a formal agreement between two or more companies in order to reduce competition between them and increase their profits or joint profits.

A cartel is the formal expression of a collusion agreement. This implies that firms explicitly agree on the level of certain competitive variables such as price, quantity, distribution of customers or areas, etc.

The goal of cartel members is to increase joint benefits at the cost of reducing or eliminating competition. In this way, it is intended to act as a monopoly by increasing prices, reducing the quantity and increasing the profits obtained from sales.

Ralph buys a perpetuity due paying 500 annually. He deposits the payments into a savings account earning interest at an effectiv
Leto [7]

Answer:

X = 1523

Explanation

Perpetuity due = (C/r) + C. Where Annual payment C =500, Annual effective interest rate = 10%

Perpetuity due = (500/10%) + 500 = 5500

Value of perpetuity due will remain same after 10 years

Money in saving account can be calculated with FV of an Annuity due formula

FV = C*(1+r) *{(1+r) ^n−1} / r

Where n = 10 years

FV = 500*(1+10%) * {(1+10%)^10 - 1} / 10%

FV = 500*1.10 * [1.10^10 - 1 / 0.10}

FV = 550 * 1.5937424601/0.10

FV = 550 * 15.937424601

FV = 8765.58353055

FV = 8766

Total proceeds = 5500 + 8766 = 14266

Now this proceed is the present value for annual payment of X calculation  . Formula of the present value (PV) of annuity due: PV = X * [1- (1+r) ^-n / r] * (1+r) : Where  PV = 14266, Annuity payment X = ?, Interest rate r = 10%, Period of annuity = 20 years.

1.10^-20

PV = X * [1- (1+r)^-n / r] * (1+r)

14266 = X * (1 - (1+10%)^-20 / 10%) * (1+10%)

14266 = X * [1 - 0.14864362802/0.10]*1.10

14266 = X * [8.5135637198*1.10]

14266 = X * 9.3649

X = 14266 / 9.3649

X = 1523.347820051469

X = 1523

Explain how international trade allows a country to move beyond its production possibilities frontier.
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Increased international trade, especially exports, increases production efficiency which allows a country to move beyond its production possibilities frontier.

Explanation:

In business terms, a production possibilities frontier is a curve that shows how much two products in an economy are able to produce when the two products are competing over the same limited resources. The curve can also be used to determine the quantity of a product that can be produced in an economy when the economy is working at its maximum efficiency. There are many factors that affect the production possibilities frontier, namely;

International trade:

Trade is the exchange of goods and services for commercial interests. International trade involves trade between countries. Most countries trade in the form of exports and imports. Exports are goods and services taken to foreign countries while imports are goods and services received from other countries. When there are greater exports than imports, it means that more of your goods and services are on demand by other countries thus makes your currency stronger. An increased demand for domestic goods and services increases production efficiency which allows a country to move beyond its production possibilities frontier.
