Answer:

100%

Explanation:

Let the normal retail price of the sweater be 'SP' and the cost price be 'CP'

Therefore,

The selling price = SP - 40% of SP = SP - 0.4SP = 0.6SP

Now,

the profit = 20% of CP = 0.2CP

also,

Profit = Selling Price - Actual price

or

0.2CP = 0.6SP - CP

or

1.2CP = 0.6SP

Or

CP = 0.5SP

or

SP = 2CP

thus,

Increase percentage in sweater marked up from wholesale at its normal retail price

= \frac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100

or

=  \frac{2CP-CP}{CP}\times 100

= 100%

An oligopoly exists when a firm offers a product that has no close substitutes, making the firm the sole source of supply.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

B) False

Explanation:

That would be a monopoly (only one supplier).

An oligopoly is a market where there are very few suppliers, and competition is very limited since the barriers to entry are very significant.

For example, the automobile industry is an oligopoly. There are only a few car manufacturers in the world, and they all are very large corporations. It costs hundreds of millions of dollars to introduce a new car model, and every time that happens, the corporations must carry on expensive advertising and promotional campaigns.

Suppose that the demand for my new book, Spatulas From Around the World, is such that the demand curve lies everywhere below the
dsp73

Answer:

C. Shut down the presses printing my book

Explanation:

Since the average variable cost of producing the book is above the demand curve, the best course of action is to shut down the printing (production) of more books. The author would lose less money by shutting down operations rather than continuing production at a variable cost higher than the demand he's receiving for the books.

In economics, when profit is less than the average variable cost, firms are advised to stop production in the short run and incur economic loss on fixed inputs. This is because with continued operations, total revenue would not only be lower than total cost, but rather, would also be less than total variable cost.
