Answer:

The options for this question are the following:

A. predatory pricing.

B. a price war.

C. price leadership.

D. producer sovereignty.

The correct answer is  C. price leadership.

Explanation:

A company has price leadership when establishing the price of the products of its industry and other companies, often much lower than the leader, always with adjustments. This generally happens when the products do not present large differences nor is there sufficient demand for each of the competitors to remain profitable after the price change. Economists have identified three types of price leadership.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

11.11%

Explanation:

<em><u>The full question with table is attached.</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

We need the rate of return formula using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The formula is:

R=R_f+\beta(R_m-R_f)

Where

R is rate of return (what we need)

R_f is risk-free return rate (5% = 0.05)

R_m is the market rate of return (11% = 0.11)

To get \beta, we take the weighted average of the portfolio.

Weight of Stock A = 1,075,000/3,000,000 = 0.3583

Weight of Stock B = 675,000/3,000,000 = 0.225

Weight of Stock C = 750,000/3,000,000 = 0.25

Weight of Stock D = 500,000/3,000,000 = 0.1667

Portfolio Beta = (0.3583*1.2) + (0.225*0.50) + (0.25*1.40) + (0.1667*0.75) = 1.02  

Now, we calculate rate of return using CAPM formula:

R=R_f+\beta(R_m-R_f)\\R=0.05+1.02(0.11-0.05)\\R=0.1112

That is 11.12%, or from answer choice, it is <u>11.11%</u>

Peggy offers to sell Shelby a purebred Scottish terrier puppy for $800. Shelby and Peggy do not discuss the dog's ancestry, but
ladessa [460]

Answer:

a. No, because Shelby made a mistake about the dog's value, not a mistake about a material fact.

Explanation:

Peggy made an offer to sell the dog for $800, they didn't discuss the dog's ancestry and Shelby wrongly assumed the dog was from champion lines and agreed to buy the dog for $800.

Based on further investigations, she discovered the dog was worth just $200.

She cannot rescind the contract because she wrongly assumed the dog's value not an error about à material fact. Peggy sold the dog at her own rates and Shelby bought the dog while wrongly assuming the value, so she cannot cancel the contract based on that.

Individuals who buy lottery tickets on a regular basis are usually on a __________ schedule of reinforcement.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

variable-ratio

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it seems that these individuals are usually on a variable-ratio schedule of reinforcement. This refers to a schedule of reinforcement where reinforcement is introduced to a response only after a completely random number of responses have taken place. The randomness of this schedule is why it is mostly seen in gambling and lottery.
