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).

When the economy slips into a recession, normally the demand for bonds ________, the supply of bonds ________, and the interest
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

b. decreases; decreases; falls.

Explanation:

A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

Recession can be defined as a period of economic meltdown, in which there's a general decline in all economic activities such as trade.

Hence, when the economy slips into a recession, normally the demand for bonds decreases, the supply of bonds decreases, and the interest rate falls, ceteris paribus (everything else held constant).

While waiting in line to buy two tacos at 80 cents each and a medium drink for 90 cents, Jordan notices that the restaurant has
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

(B). 50 cents

Explanation:

<u>Marginal cost</u><u> is the cost incurred by producing or purchasing one more unit of an item.</u>

If Jordan buys two tacos and a medium drink, it will cost him $2 and 50 cents or 250 cents (80 + 80 + 90).

However, if he opts for the value meal of three tacos and a medium drink, that costs $3 (300 cents), then he would be purchasing one additional taco at a marginal cost of 50 cent.

Marginal cost of additional unit of taco = 300 cents - 250 cents = 50 cents.
