Answer:

predatory pricing

Explanation:

Predatory pricing (or undercutting) is a pricing strategy used to drive away competition. It basically refers to selling your product at such a low cost that other competitors will not be able to match the price and will be forced to exit the market. This practice was very common in the 19th century when huge monopolies grew in the US, until the Sherman Antitrust Act was passed in 1890.

This ultimately hurts consumers because once all competitors are out, the monopolists or oligopolists will increase their prices dramatically to much higher levels than before the predatory pricing was in place.

Answer:

The correct answer is predatory pricing.

Explanation:

When we speak of the legal right "defense of free competition", what we are referring to, in very simple words, is a field of law that seeks to safeguard that competition in the markets occurs "in good and sound fashion", this it is, without cheating, fraud or other "abusive" devices that are apt to achieve, maintain or increase the market power of those who execute them, thereby damaging the collective well-being of the economic agents participating in those markets (and not only the of the individuals directly involved in a certain transaction).

Parsley, a world-famous chef, signs a contract to give lessons in French cooking to Curry. Parsley wants to transfer his duties
Margarita [4]

Answer:

C. <u>not valid because performance depends on Parsley's personal skills</u>

Explanation:

A valid contract refers to an agreement entered into by parties which legally binds both parties and is enforceable under the law.

For a contract to be termed as valid, it must be performed by the parties to it.

Performance clause in a valid contract refers to doing or acting in a way as is required by the terms of the contract.

In the given case, Parsley signed a contract to provide services i.e provide French cooking lessons to Curry. Later, Parsley wants to transfer his duties to Relish.

The transfer will not be valid since the performance i.e service to be provided by Parsley are of personal nature and the consideration is based upon that. No two individuals can provide exact services.

What is the average of gross income for domestic movies (in mln)?
Brrunno [24]

The average gross income for domestic movies (in mln) is 180

A film industry-specific term used by box office reporters such as Variety and Box Office Mojo. For movies released in North America, box office revenue is usually divided into domestic, including the United States and Canada, and international, including all other countries.

Today, weekly box office revenues are usually considered Friday-Thursday, reflecting the fact that most movies are officially released on Friday in the United States. Variety was published every Wednesday for many years, so most of the weekly box office revenue they reported in the 1920s-1990s was from Thursday-Wednesday.

Most of the Weekly Loss is weekend cashiers. Historically, this has been reported as box office revenue from Friday to Sunday, and holidays close to weekends. Day numbers from Friday to Sunday are also now used.
