Answer:

Key ideas:

  • A single entity controls the flow of the product.
  • Possesses the power to limit prices.
  • Will have some influence in politics.
  • Difficult for new companies to enter the market.

Explanation:

Monopoly refers to the state when there is only one company controlling the flow of products, therefore controlling the prices of it. There are a lot of examples of monopoly in the contemporary era such as AB Inbev, but it doesn't mean that it is totally a modern concept. Monopoly existed even in history take for example the case of Carnegie steel mills or the issue of railroads.

When one company possess such power that it can control the price, it can badly damages the interest of other investors and consumers. But the reason they create a monopoly is that they have heavy influence in politics. That is how they turn up the decisions to their own benefits. And monopolies always try to create hurdles for new investors to get in the market. Because they are charging whatever they want due to no competition, as soon as new competition arrive it will challenge the monopoly which it can't take.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Ans. The expected rate of return on the Inferior Goods Co. stock is 5.90%

Explanation:

Hi, you just have to multiply the expected earnings by the probability of occurance of a certain event and then add up all the products. Here is the information all organized to be processed.

Item                  Prob Earn

Booming           20% -6%

Normal           55% 7%

Recession   25% 13%

Ok, now let´s calculate the expected rate of return.

ExpectedReturn=(0.2*(-0.06))+(0.55*0.07)+(0.25*0.13)

ExpectedReturn=-0.012+0.039+0.033=0.059

So the expected rate of return of the stock is 5.90%

kolezko [41]

Answer:

=  $490

Explanation:

<em>Under the </em><em>First-in-First-Out  </em>( FIFO ) <em>method of inventory valuation,  inventories are valued using the price of the earliest batch in stock until the batch is exhausted when the price of the next oldest batch is used and so on.</em>

Date     sale units       Workings                         Value

              10                    10 × $19                              190

               20        (10 × $19)+( 10 × $20)                  390

The cost o he merchandise = $190 + $390

                                             =  $490
