When you decide to go and have a dinner with your friends in a world class hotel such as the Golden Tulip or La Pleasure Beach,

perhaps you would be horrified by the high price you would have to pay for a bottle of soft drink such as Coca Cola or Pepsi Cola or wine or even bottled water. Perhaps you begin to ponder why the same commodity that you can get at a supermarket at one tenth the hotel price is going for such an astronomical price at the hotel. Of course, such facilities will have a warning such “you are not allowed to bring in your own food or drinks” posted at appropriate places in the facility for the attention of customers.In another scenario, you enter a designer shop to buy clothes with a designer label for a friend on their birthday or on Valentine day and you reckon the clothes are so much expensive compared to similar own brand clothes from a clothing or chain store, even though they may cost a similar amount to produce. Using your knowledge in basic economics, especially of the concept of demand and supply, attributes of a competitive market and price elasticity of demand, briefly discuss the following:
A. Why may a hotel charge such very high prices for wine, soft drinks or even bottled water and yet quite reasonable prices for food and still get away with such high prices? B. Why are designer shops able to price their clothes so very expensive and yet still get clients even though similar clothes that are available in a supermarket chain shops cost pretty much less?

Answer:

A. Price makers

B. Brand name

Explanation:

A. The hotels charge very high prices for wine and soft drinks because they are not price takers. They do not consider the price prevailing in the market for the products they are offering to the customers. They are price makers and select to charge the price they want to maintain their current hospitality. It their perception that wine and soft drinks are part of luxury. The food is an essential and people are not allowed to bring outside food in the hotel so they will buy it but when they will consume food they will also require the drinks as a part of their meal.

B. The people in today's world are so much brand conscious. They will pay for a name tag so they will be regarded for their high status in the society despite of low quality products. The ease of shopping at the branded stores is another reason for their high sales.

Which of the statements below is​ FALSE?

Answer:

C. The standard of one vote for each share cannot be altered.

Explanation:

Shares are sold to individuals that now obtain ownership rights of a company.

Common share holders are entitled to voting in of new board members and also have the ability to vote for changes in bylaws of the company.

Also common shareholders are shares have different classes with different voting rights.

However it is not true that the standard of one vote for each share cannot be altered.

When more shares are issued by a company it can result in dilution of shares. That means for example if a person has 10,000 shares in a company with 1 million shares, and the company now issues an extra 1 million shares making 2 million in total now.

The shareholder's standard of vote for each share is now halved
