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.

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

A rocket shoots up 123 meters. What is it initial velocity?How long is it ascending

Answer:

Realized gain of Shontelle = $332000

Explanation:

given data

adjusted basis = $760,000

mortgage = $192,000

receives cash = $120,000

fair market value = $780,000

to find out

we find here first Realized gain that is express as

Realized gain = Amount realized - Adjusted basis     ..................1

so here Amount realized = (receives cash  + fair market value + mortgage)

Amount realized = (120000 + 780000 + 192000)

Amount realized = 1092000

so from equation 1

Realized gain = Amount realized - Adjusted basis  

Realized gain = 1092000 - 760000

Realized gain =  $332000

so we can say that

Realized gain of Shontelle = $332000
