Answer:

Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this communication is violating the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. This Act was passed prohibiting any contract, trust, or conspiracy in restraint of interstate or foreign trade in order to prevent oppressive business practices and monopolies. This is what the two companies are doing by agreeing to jointly raise the price they are able to control the entire markets price thus creating a monopoly in the automotive industry, which forces consumers to pay a lot more than what the vehicles are actually worth.

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

$418,550

Explanation:

Steps are shown below:

a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{52,000}\times \text{\$50}}{\text{\$1.25}}}

= 2,040 units

b. The number of orders would be equal to

= Annual demand ÷ economic order quantity

= $52,000 ÷ 2,040 units

=  25.49 orders

c. The average inventory would equal to

= Economic order quantity ÷ 2

= 2040 units ÷ 2

= 1,020 units

d. The total cost of ordering cost and carrying cost equals to

Ordering cost = Number of orders × ordering cost per order

= 25.49 orders × $50

= $1,275

Carrying cost = average inventory × carrying cost per unit

= 1,020 units × $1.25

= $1,275

So, the total annual cost would be  

= Purchase cost + ordering cost + carrying cost

= $416,000 + $1,275 + $1,275

= $418,550

Purchase cost = Annual demand × cost per unit

                        = 52,000 × $8

                        = $416,000

Scarcity, opportunity cost, and marginal analysis Kyoko is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking
alekssr [168]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Trade off can be expressed in terms of opportunity cost.

Opportunity cost or implicit is the cost of the option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

Kyoko has limited time so she has to choose between three activities. If she chooses one sport, she would not be able to partake in the other activities. So, she is trading off biking or running for swimming.

Trade off occurs because resources are limited and wants are unlimited.
