Answer:

C. The Robinson–Patman Act of 1936

Explanation:

The Robinson-Patman Act of 1936 is an amendment to The Clayton Act of 1914, which particularly prohibits price discrimination. Price Discrimination is an act in which distributors or sellers of certain goods, give discounts to people who they seem to benefit more from while smaller shops buy the goods at a costlier price.

The instance where the major tire manufacturer has an agreement to make a price discount with the manufacturer of truck tires is an example of price discrimination, and the consequence is that other markets are affected as they now exit the market. This is a clear contravention of the Robinson-Patman Act of 1936.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory= 208,500 units.

Sales:

second quarter= 417,000 units

third quarter= 469,000 units

fourth quarter= 289,500 units.

Desired ending inventory= 50% of the next quarter's budgeted sales.

To calculate the production for each quarter, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Second-quarter:

Sales= 417,000

Desired ending inventory= 0.5*469,000= 234,500

Beginning inventory= (208,500)

Total production= 443,000

Third-quarter:

Sales= 469,000

Desired ending inventory= 0.5*289,500= 144,750

Beginning inventory= (234,500)

Total production= 379,250
