A monopoly, unlike a perfectly competitive firm, has some market power. Thus, it can raise its price, within limits, without qua

ntity demanded falling to zero. The main way monopolies retain their market power is through barriers to entry, which prevent other companies from entering monopolized markets and competing for customers. Consider the market for tanzanite. The mines for this blue-purple gemstone, found only in Tanzania, are owned by the local government. Given that no one is allowed into the mines without government permission, the market structure for tanzanite highly resembles that of a monopoly. Which of the following best explains the barriers to entry that exist in this scenario?
A. Exclusive ownership of a necessary resource
B. Legal barriers
C. Increasing returns to scale

Answer:

Option A and B        

Explanation:

No other nation can get into the market of this business as the resource is found only in Tanzania. This depicts that Tanzanian government have the ultimate power in this market as they are the sole owners of the resource, thus its has exclusive rights barriers externally.

However, internally Tanzania has legal barriers as no private firm or oterh such entity can get into the extraction of the gems without the permission from the government.

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The maximum growth rate to my calculations is 8.32%, since it is closer to option E), I´d choose E) 8.37%

Explanation:

Hi, in order to find the growth rate given all the info of the problem, we need to use the following formula.

g=b*R

Where:

g = growth rate

b=retention ratio

R = return on equity

Since R = Earnings / Equity, and our dividend payout ratio (equals to 1 - b)our fromula changes to:

g=(1-Payout)*\frac{NetIncome}{Equity}

So, everything should look like this:

g=(1-0.25)*\frac{32,600}{294,000} =0.0832

So, the growth rate is equal to 8.32% but this option is not available, therefore we´ll go for the closest one, that is E) 8.37%.

Best of luck.

Equivalent Units of Conversion Costs The Rolling Department of Kraus Steel Company had 200 tons in beginning work in process inv
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Equivalent units  =   3,855 units

Explanation:

Equivalent unit are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion cost between working in progress and completed work.

Equivalent unit is calculated as:

Degree of completion (%) × Units .

The equivalent units can be calculated by using either the first in first out (FIFO)  or weighted average method.

Here, we will use the FIFO.

FIFO: Under this method, to account for the completed units of a particular period, it is assumed that the opening inventory units must first be completed. That is, the first set of completed units should be the opening inventory.

The table below has been set out for explanation:

Items                   Units Notes Workings Equiv.Units

Opening inventory  200  1 40% × 200 80

Fully worked               3,700  2 100% × 3700 3700

Closing Inventory          300  3 25% × 300 75

Equivalent unit                                  3,855.0

Notes

1. 60% work has already been done in the previous period (September) so in October the balance is done.

2. The fully work represents units of new work introduced in October and completed in the same period. The value is 3900- 200 = 3700

3. The closing inventory is the units of new work started in October but not yet completed at the end of October.

Equivalent units = 3,855.0
