Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Wal-Mart employed a preemptive strategy.

Explanation:

Game Theory is a branch of Economy that studies the decisions in which an individual could succeed if he or she takes into account the decisions of the rest of the participants involved in the event. Game Theory has also been applied for subjects such as <em>Mathematics, Managements, Psychology </em>or <em>even Biology. </em>

In the game theory, the Preemptive Strategy is implemented when individuals take a step before other participants in an attempt of having a favorable outcome of the situation. They lead the event using creativity. Thus, <em>Wal-Mart used the preemptive strategy by opening stores in small towns that supported only one discount store.</em>

What is the inventory turnover ratio for ABC Corp. if cost of goods sold equals $5,000, current ratio equals 3, quick ratio equa
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Inventory turnover= 5.5 times

Explanation:

Current ratio is given as 3

Cost of goods sold = $5,000

Current assets = $1,800

Quick ratio= 1.5

Current ratio= current assets/ current liabilities

3= 1,800/ current liabilities

Current liabilities= 1,800/3

Current liabilities= $600

Quick ratio= Cash and Receivables/ Current liabilities

1.5= Cash and Receivables/600

Cash and Receivables= 600* 1.5= $900

Current asset= Cash and Receivables + Inventory

1,800= 900+ Inventory

Inventory= 1,800-900

Inventory= $900

Inventory turnover= Cost of goods sold/ Inventory

Inventory turnover= 5,000/900

Inventory turnover= 5.5 times

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

If volume reaches 500 units, net income will be: $715

Explanation:

When  volume of sales was at 400 units:

Selling price per unit = Sales Revenue/400 = $1,600/400 = $4

Variable Cost per unit = Variable Cost/400 = $700/400 = $1.75

If volume reaches 500 units:

Total Sales Revenue = $4 x 500 = $2,000

Variable Cost = $1.75 x 500 = $875

Fixed Cost will not change = $410

Net income = Total Sales Revenue - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost = $2,000 - $875 - $410 = $715

enot [183]

Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: Normal profits because economic profits will attract new firms and there are no entry restrictions.

In a monopolistically competitive market, firms will earn an economic profit in the short run, so new firms attracted with these profits and decided to enter into the market in the long run.

There is no barriers on entry and exit of the firms in the monopolistically competitive market. When new firms enters into the market, as a result supply of differentiated products increases.

This causes the firm's market demand curve to shift leftwards. It will continue shifting to the left in the firm market demand curve till the point where it is nearly tangent to the average total cost curve.

At this point, firms earns zero normal profit and can earn normal profits in the long run same as a perfectly competitive firm.
