Answer:
a. Economic assets that are privately owned and exchanged in an open market.
Explanation:
A free enterprise is an economy where where economic factors like price, product, and services are determined by market forces and not by the government.
It is also called capitalism, economic assets are privately owned and competition is the yardstick for market success.

The most obvious benefit of specialization and trade is that they allow us to: <span>Consume more goods than we otherwise would be able to consume
When we do specialization, we could produce the goods that provide competitive advantage for us so we can produce that goods in a huge amount.
After that, we can trade the goods with other goods (which gives competitive advantage to other country) and trading countries could consume goods on a huge amount.</span>
Answer:
a) Determine which type of cars will be sold at the efficient allocation.
All cars would be sold in a Pareto efficient allocation.
In a Pareto efficient market, resources are all allocated in the most efficient possible way. This is the reason why this is just a theoretical concept that does not necessarily apply in real life.
b) Determine which type of cars will be sold at the market equilibrium.
Since consumers are only willing to pay up to $1,620 for a used car, only medium quality and low quality cars will be sold. The price of high quality used cars is higher than the equilibrium price.
Explanation:
the most a buyer would be willing to pay for a used car is ($1,800 x 40%) + ($1,600 x 30%) + ($1,400 x 30%) = $720 + $480 + $420 = $1,620

Explanation:
The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.
The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.
The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.
An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow. Depreciation and other non-cash expenses deducted in the income statements are added back while the non-cash income such gain on asset are deducted from net income.
Peridot's Net cash outflows from investing activities (in millions)
= -$38 + $96 + $71 - $86
= $43
The gain from the disposal of land will be deducted from the net income under the cash flows from operating activities while the requisition of own shares is a financing activity.
