Answer: The amount invested in the dogwood tree was $5000, while $35000 was invested in the red maple tree.

We arrive at the answer as follows:

Let the proportion of dogwood trees be x.

Then the proportion of red maple trees in the nursery will be 1-x, since there are only two types of trees in the nursery.

We use the following formula to find the proportion dogwood and maple trees in the nursery:

20 = 27x + 19(1-x)

Solving for x we get

20 = 27x + 19 - 19x

x = \frac{1}{8}

We can find the proportion of maple trees as follows:

1 - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{7}{8}

Since we have the proportions, we can easily find the amount invested in type of tree as follows:

Dogwood = 40000*\frac{1}{8} = 5000

Red Maple tree = 40000*\frac{7}{8} = 35000

Describes how a monopoly controls an industry
stira [4]

Answer:

Key ideas:

  • A single entity controls the flow of the product.
  • Possesses the power to limit prices.
  • Will have some influence in politics.
  • Difficult for new companies to enter the market.

Explanation:

Monopoly refers to the state when there is only one company controlling the flow of products, therefore controlling the prices of it. There are a lot of examples of monopoly in the contemporary era such as AB Inbev, but it doesn't mean that it is totally a modern concept. Monopoly existed even in history take for example the case of Carnegie steel mills or the issue of railroads.

When one company possess such power that it can control the price, it can badly damages the interest of other investors and consumers. But the reason they create a monopoly is that they have heavy influence in politics. That is how they turn up the decisions to their own benefits. And monopolies always try to create hurdles for new investors to get in the market. Because they are charging whatever they want due to no competition, as soon as new competition arrive it will challenge the monopoly which it can't take.
