Answer:

The correct answer is: Horizontal Merger.

Explanation:

A Horizontal Merger occurs when companies within the <em>same industry</em> merge. Competing firms that offer similar goods and services are the most likely to merge horizontally.

1. Consider an economy with a population of 100,000 households. 60 percent of households reportan annual income of $25,000 ("low
Leona [35]

Answer:

The total income earned by households in this economy is:

$4,700,000,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Household population = 100,000

Low earners = 60% with annual income of $25,000 each

Mid earners = 30% with annual income of $70,000 each

High earners = 10% with annual income of $110,000 each

60% of the population = 60,000 (100,000 * 60%) households

30% of the population = 30,000 (100,000 * 30%)  households

10% of the population = 10,000 (100,000 * 10%)  households

Total income earned by the households:

Low earners = 60,000 * $25,000 =      $1,500,000,000

Mid earners = 30,000 * $70,000 =         2,100,000,000

High earners = 10,000 * $110,000 =        1,100,000,000

Total income earned in the economy $4,700,000,000

stepladder [879]

Answer:

Calculating the cost of each activity,

Unloading = $ 80,100

Counting = $ 37,500

Inspecting = $54,450

Explanation:

Given:

Unloading lease = $15,000 per year

Fuel for the forklift = $3,600 per year

Maintenance for the forklift = $1,500 per year

Inspection uses some special testing equipment that has depreciation of $1,200 per year

Operating cost = $750.

Receiving employees average salary = $50,000 per year

Salaries; 3 × 50,000 = 150,000

Unloading salary = 40%  × 150,000 = 60,000

Counting salary = 25%  × 150,000 = 37,500

Inspecting salary = 35% × 150,000 = 52,500

                              Unloading                 Counting                    Inspection

A minimum wage is an example of a price floor or minimum price that must be paid. If effective, such a price floor would be ____
valkas [14]

Answer:

If effective, such a price floor would be <u>above</u> the market price and would lead to a <u>excess supply</u>.

Explanation:

A price floor can be described as a price control in which the minimum price to be charged for goods and services is imposed by a government or a group.

For a price floor to be effective and binding, it has to be set above the market or equilibrium price. This is because a price floor will neither be effective nor nonbinding when it set below the equilibrium price.

Any price above the equilibrium or market price creates or leads to excess supply. Excess supply is a situation whereby quantiy of commodity supplied is more than the quantity demanded of the commodity.

Based on the above explanation, if effective, such a price floor would be <u>above</u> the market price and would lead to a <u>excess supply</u>.
