Answer:

1. Faces a downward-sloping demand curve  

  • BOTH MONOPOLIES AND MONOPOLISTICALLY COMPETITIVE FIRMS HAVE A DOWNWARD SLOPING DEMAND CURVE

2. Has marginal revenue less than price  

  • ONLY MONOPOLIES

3. Faces the entry of new firms selling similar products  

  • NEITHER, SINCE MONOPOLISTICALLY COMPETITIVE FIRMS OFFER DIFFERENTIATED PRODUCTS, NEW COMPETITORS WILL NOT OFFER SIMILAR PRODUCTS. MONOPOLIES HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF BARRIER ENTRIES THAT PREVENT NEW FIRMS FORM ENTERING THE MARKET.

4. Earns economic profit in the long run  

  • ONLY MONOPOLIES, BECAUSE MARKET BARRIERS PREVENT NEW FIRMS FROM ENTERING THE MARKET.

5. Equates marginal revenue and marginal cost  

  • BOTH MONOPOLIES AND MONOPOLISTICALLY COMPETITIVE FIRMS MAXIMIZE ACCOUNTING PROFITS AT THIS POINT

6. Produces the socially efficient quantity of output

  • NEITHER

Grace [21]

Answer:

Limit access to private information by friending someone

Explanation:

There should be use of only publicly available information, background check can be done by a third party that is not making hiring decision, and do not request username and password for social media platforms.

A local theatre group wants to increase the membership and attendance at its performances. To do​ so, it hosts free​ shows,
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

E) Market Exchange

Explanation:

Market exchange refers to at least two people or firms trading one good or service for another. In this case, the theater group is trading a free show and other promotional activities (standup comedy nights, and volunteer work) in exchange for higher membership to their group or higher attendance to their shows.

A trade does not necessarily imply a money exchange, it can also include goods or services that provide utility for the other party. For example, an increase in group membership will help the theater group perform better.

Cache Creek Manufacturing Company is expected to pay a dividend of $4.20 in the upcoming year. Dividends are expected to grow at
Digiron [165]

Answer: 0.9

Explanation:

The Expected Return on an investment can be calculated using the Dividend Discount Model as it is a key component in thw formula which is,

P = D1 / r - g

where,

D1 is the dividend paid next year

P is the current stock price

g is the growth rate

r is the expected return

With the given figures we have,

84 = 4.20 / r - 0.08

84 ( r - 0.08) = 4.20

r - 0.08 = 4.20/84

r = 4.20/84 + 0.08

r = 0.13

The Expected Return can be slotted into the CAPM formula to find the beta.

The CAPM formula calculates the Expected Return in the following manner,

Er = Rf + b( Rm - rF)

Where,

Er is expected return

Rf is the risk free rate

Rm is the market return

b is beta

Slotting in the figures gives,

0.13 = 0.04 + b( 0.14 - 0.04)

0.13 = 0.04 + b (0.1)

0.13 - 0.04 = 0.1b

b = 0.09/0.1

b = 0.9

Using the constant-growth DDM and the CAPM, the beta of the stock is 0.9
