Answer:
Two activities scheduled to be carried out in parallel and using the same scarce resource are independent.
Explanation:
An Israeli physicist named, Eliyahu M. Goldratt developed the Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) and introduced it in his book "Critical Chain" in 1997.
The CCPM is a project management methodology used by managers to better manage a project. The CCPM ensures that the project plan is feasible and immune from any uncertainty or statistical fluctuations.
In the CCPM activity network, there are no milestones and all non-critical activities are performed as late as possible.
CCPM adopts the use of drum buffers, so as to ensure extra safety is applied to a project immediately before using constrained resource.
According to Goldratt, two activities scheduled to be carried out in parallel and using the same scarce resource are independent.

Answer:
<u>Predatory pricing</u>
Explanation:
A "predator" refers to an animal who survives by "preying" on other animals.
Predatory pricing in a similar sense refers to that form of excessively low pricing which in a way consumes other firms by taking away their share of industry revenues. Such form of pricing is considered illegal and is against healthy competition.
Such pricing eliminates competitors from the market and gradually leads to emergence of a monopoly i.e supremacy of a single firm in the whole industry and thus considered an illegal practice.
In the given case, the retail chain can be alleged to have followed predatory pricing which is substantiated by the fact that it cuts it's prices excessively i.e even below cost , thereby forcing smaller companies to exit the industry.
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
the percentage change in price using the midpoint method = {(P₂ - P₁) / [(P₂ + P₁)/2]} x 100
= {($6- $4) / [($6 + $4)/2]} x 100 = [$2 / ($10 / 2)] x 100 = ($2 / $5) x 100 = 0.4 x 100 = 40%
The advantage of using the midpoint method for calculating percentage changes is that it doesn't matter if the change is positive or negative, e.g. it will yield the same result if the price increases or decreases in the same amounts.
