Answer:

this situation can be classified as an duopoly

Explanation:

An duopoly is similar to a monopoly but instead of only supplier there are two suppliers that share total market power and control. Both companies also offer basically the same product or service. Competition exists between the companies but it is not significant, both companies decide to coexist. Customers are forced to choose between one company or the other.

In this case, there are only two taxi companies and the customers really don't care what company they use since they both offer similar services. None of the companies even bothers to offer a better service to try to gain a larger market share.

velikii [3]

The statement that holds true for the American Option is (A) Put-call parity provides an upper and lower bound for the difference between call and put prices

Explanation:

According to the Put-call parity concept when we hold the  short European put and long European call of similar class the return delivered is same as  holding one forward contract of the same underlying asset, that has the same expiration, forward price and which is equal to the strike price of the option

In financial management  put–call parity concept is used to define the  relationship that exist  between the price of a European call option and European put option, and both of them have identical strike price and expiry

The formula used for calculating  put call parity is

c + k = f +p

where (c) call price plus the (k) strike price of both options is equal to the futures price(f) plus the put price(p)
