Answer:

b. When there is a lack of importance of the buyer to the supplier group

Explanation:

According to Porter there are five forces that can cause rivalry in a production industry. These are supplier power, threat of new entrants, buyer power, threat of substitutes, and degree of rivalry.

Supplier power is when suppliers are able to benefit from the producers by increasing prices of inputs and gaining some industry profit. Since suppliers supply input and labour to the producer they have a greater control of there is lack of importance of the buyer to the supplier group.

This means that the supplier group has more control on price and quality it supplies to the buyer with buyer having little choice but to buy.

If however buyer is more important to the supplier it means they can control price and quality of inputs

In a sweezy oligopoly, the profit-maximizing level of output occurs where:_____.

hodyreva [135]

In a Sweezy oligopoly, the profit-maximizing level of output occurs where mr=mc.

Paul M. Sweezy created the oligopoly's kinked demand curve in 1939. The model explains how oligopolistic groups behave rather than placing emphasis on how price-output determination occurs.

With an equilibrium output of Q units and an equilibrium price of P, the oligopolist maximizes profits by equating marginal income with marginal cost.

Due to each company's desire to maximize profits, there is frequently intense competition among them when it comes to pricing, production, and promotion.

The main distinction between a monopolist and a perfectly competitive firm is that although for a monopolist, marginal revenue is not equal to the price since changes in output quantity affect the price.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

A = $698,494.97 is the right answer.

And Assuming that interest rates remain constant, the T-note’s price is expected to Increase.

Explanation:

A. $698,494.97

B. $593,720.72

C. $838,193.96

D. $440,051.83

Solution:

First we need to see which among the four options is the correct value.

For that we need to find the rate:

Rate = Yield to Maturity/2

Yield to Maturity = 11%

So,

Rate = 11/2

Rate = 5.5%

Now, we need to find the Nper ( Number of periods for the loan)

Nper = 5 x 2 = 10 years.

Nper = 10 years

Now, we need to find PMT which is a financial function used to calculate the amount to be paid for the loan based on constant payments and interest.

PMT = (3%/2) x par value

PMT = (3%/2)x 1,000,000

PMT = 15000

Now, For future value, we have par value.

So,

Par Value = Future Value = FV = 1,000,000

Now, we have to find the PV = Present Value or the price of the bond.

For this we need to use PV function on excel.

Formula:

Price = - PV(Rate, Nper, PMT, FV)

Plugging the values in Excel like this and we get:

Price = -PV (5.5%,10,15000,1000000)

Price = $698,494.97

Hence, A = $698,494.97 is the right answer.

And Assuming that interest rates remain constant, the T-note’s price is expected to Increase.
