A monopolist, unlike a competitive firm, has some market power. It can raise its price, within limits, without the quantity dema

nded falling to zero. The main way it retains its market power is through barriers to entry—that is, other companies cannot enter the market to create competition in that particular industry.In the following case, indicate which barrier to entry appropriately explains why a monopoly exists in each scenario.
The Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) formerly controlled all U.S. sources of bauxite, a key component in the production of aluminum. Given that Alcoa did not sell bauxite to any other companies, Alcoa was a monopolist in the U.S. aluminum industry from the late 19th century until the 1940s.

The Sugar Sweet Company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to market. The first company charges
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Both will charge $6,904 when they transport 16 tons of sugar.

Explanation:

The amount of sugar to be transported is S, since we need to calculate at which amount of sugar both truck companies charge the same total price, we need to solve the following:

first company charges $4,500 + $150.25 S

second company charges $3,696 + $200.50 S

since both companies will charge the same total amount, then

$4,500 + $150.25 S = $3,696 + $200.50 S

$4,500 - $3,696 = $200.50 S - $150.25 S

$804 = $50.25 S

$804 / $50.25 = S

S = 16

$4,500 + ($150.25 x 16) = $4,500 + $2,404 = $6,904

miskamm [114]

Answer:$9,000

Explanation:

The tax credit offered to adoptive parents to encourage adoption is reffered to as ADOPTION TAX CREDIT. The adoption tax credit is a nonrefundable tax credit. This means that people owing taxes are also fit or qualified to apply for the adoption tax credit.

In the United States of America, adoption tax credit qualified expenses include court costs, traveling expenses, lawyer's or Attorney's fee and other expenses for legal adoption of an eligible child.

It can be calculated by subtracting

the max's employer provided for the couple with adoption benefits of $4,000 from the incurred expenses of a total of $13,000 in qualified adoption expenses(from the question).

That is; $13,000-$4,000.

= $9,000.

Hence, the maximum amount of adoption credit they can take this year is $9,000.

Choose the only point on the graph that shows the equilibrium wage
a_sh-v [17]

We would need to see the graph, but the equilibrium point is where the wage paid is equal to the supply of workers. On a graph, this would be the point where the two lines intersect. That is the point where the supply of people willing to do the job at a certain rate, meets the company's demand for workers and the rate they are willing to pay.

Accounts receivable from sales to customers amounted to $40,000 and $32,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively.
natima [27]

Answer:

a. $118,000

Explanation:

When preparing a cash flow statement, using indirect method we add decrease in current assets and we deduct increase in current assets.

Here it is provided that income reported = $110,000

Opening balance of accounts receivables = $40,000

Closing balance of accounts Receivables = $32,000

Change in Accounts receivables = Closing - Opening = $32,000 - $40,000 = - $8,000

Therefore there is decrease in accounts receivables which is a current asset.

Thus Cash Flow from operating activities

Net Income = $110,000

Add: Decrease in current assets = $8,000

Net cash flow from operating activity = $118,000

Correct option is

a. $118,000
