Answer:

B) The public is wary of sharing confidential information after a recent spate of credit card scandals.

Explanation:

There are several advantages of click-only companies, especially that they are able to offer lower prices since they don't need to support the costs of brick-and-mortar stores.

But the whole idea of selling through the internet is based on the customers' trust on new technologies and they specially dislike when the new technologies fail, e.g. when a hacker discloses the accounts and passwords of millions of users.

You must decide between $25,000 in cash today or $30,000 in cash to be received two years from now. If you can earn 8 percent in
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The deal to receive $30000 is better.

Explanation:

To find the better deal we need to calculate the present value of $30000 and then compare it with the amount $25000. If the amount is greater than the $25000, then the amount should be received after the 2 years.

The given time period (n )= 2

Interest rate (r ) = 8%

The amount received after 2 years = $30000

\text{Present value of money} = \frac{Future \ value}{(1 + r)^n } \\= \frac{30000}{(1+0.08)^2} \\= $25720.16

Since the amount is more than $25000 so the deal to receive the money after 2 years will be better.

When a firm is given monopoly power, it loses its freedom of contract, and a governmental body is given the power to determine t
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The government agency is providing basic and/or essential services that further deepen the interests of members of the public

Explanation:

The assertion that a firm with a monopoly power loses it freedom of contract is very true. Monopolies by its realities come with features that ultimately cater for the interests of the firm, instead of the consumers. One of these is charging an astronomical high price on a particular item of commodity, and not taking cognizance of the purchasing power of the public. A firm could to this, and ultimately get away because its the only delivering such services - the one with the enormous monopoly power. Here, there is no stiff competition among goods that may offer liberty of choices to ordinary consumers.

To mitigate these numerous power of monopolies, governmental body has been giving the power to regulate and maintain an oversight functions. They now determine the provisions of contracts. The main objective of government agency, thus, is to ensure a firm with a monopoly power considers the basic and essential interests of the members of the public - the end users. Here, members of the public are insulated from unnecesary exploitation by the monopolies.
