Answer and Explanation:

When there is price fixing between two competitors, if one competitor chooses to fix the price it should not exceed competutors marginal cost and should be above his marginal cost.

Since the price fixing of $10 will be fined then the ideal price to maximize the profit would be below the competitors price $ and above his marginal cost $.

The ideak price to maximize profits would be (competitors price $ + his marginal cost $)/2, This price would be above his marginal cost and below competitors price.

At what amount is a short-term notes receivable recorded on the issue date?
laiz [17]

Answer:

At face value

Explanation:

Short term notes are always recorded at face value, and that applies to both interest and non-interest bearing short term notes.

Non-interest bearing long term notes must be recorded at their discounted value, i.e. you must discount the long term note' face value by the discount rate used by the company.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. buyers will go elsewhere.

Explanation:

This situation occurs when there is competition, that is, other businesses that offer the same or similar products as those of a particular company. In this scenario, the potential buyer will notice the difference according to their previous experiences and will find a way to acquire products from another brand that offer the same satisfaction as the product that rose in price. You must be very cautious with this practice, since it can end up damaging the operation, and in the worst case, leading to bankruptcy.
