Answer:
C) competitive <u>analysis</u>
Explanation:
A competitive analysis is a business plan part which reflects on the key competitors of our business (their key characteristics which are relevant for our business plan or product in general).
In this example, Robert would bring out the key characteristics of the construction industry (industry trends, industry segments etc.) and list out the relevant competitors and their potential <em>competitive advantage</em>. If Robert's company is a construction business specialized in skyscraper building in LA, he would list construction companies specialized in high-rise building located in California.
With the aid of a proper competitive analysis, Robert will be able to point out the business areas where it is possible to surpass our competitors. For example, when Robert decomposes the product features of the ABC competitor company - materials used, project cost, project length, skyscraper portfolio, only then he is able to see what specific area in his company needs improvement.
On the other hand, an <em>executive summary</em> is a short description of our business goals, key financial indicators, strategies and forecast. It possesses summarized key information, similar to a pitch.
Answer: Loss from sale of Zinco stock = $10,000

Given that,
Conner purchased 300 shares of Zinco stock for $30,000 in 1994

I think the correct answer would be the first option. Deadweight losses occur when the quantity of an output produced is less than, but not when it is greater than, the competitive equilibrium quantity. It is also known as allocative inefficiency. It is a loss of efficiency that will happen when the equilibrium of a good is not reached or the supply and the demand of a good are not in equilibrium such that the quantity of the goods is less than the equilibrium quantity. It is a loss due to inefficient use of the resources available. Price controls, minimum wage and taxation are said to cause deadweight loss.
