Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": top management's attitude toward decentralized operating structures.

Explanation:

Sales forecasts have the purpose of providing companies with an idea of how their sales environment is going to be within a specific period.

Explain why the monopsonist's marginal-revenue-product curve is downward sloping. Include the role of the price for the final go

alekssr [168]

Answer:

A monopsony is market where there is only one buyer, e.g. the government is the sole buyer for nuclear submarines in the US.

The demand curve of a monopsony is similar to the demand curve of any other type of market, i.e. it is downward sloping. Since there is only 1 buyer, the demand curve is also the supply curve. If the monopsonist wants to increase the quantity demanded at a lower price, the supplier (or suppliers) must be able to lower its costs and that generally results in lower labor costs.
