Answer:
Competition policy is part of the new international orthodoxy in economic policy and, at the same time, was viewed in South Africa as a crucial element of economic transformation. This article reviews the role of competition policy in economic development and the experiences of developing countries such as Brazil and South Korea. It then assesses the effects of competition policy in South Africa after 1994, with the main focus being on the performance of the new competition institutions established in 1999. The case of the steel industry is used to assess the approach and impact of the institutions in a concentrated sector that has simultaneously undergone processes of liberalisation and domestic consolidation.
The opening-up of the economy through trade liberalisation has also seen increased concentration in many sectors. This is a result of consolidation, with inefficient firms closing down or being taken over, and of closer focus by companies on their core activities. Economies-of-scale arguments have also been used in several sectors to support mergers and acquisitions.
Answer:
D.Cash 1,274 Sales Discount 26 Accounts Receivable 1,300
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Cash A/c Dr $1,274
Sales Discount A/c Dr $26

The remaining amount would be credited to the cash account.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Arbot Co. manufactures appliances at three manufacturing facilities in the United States. Each location has a plant manager who oversees the manufacturing process for that location. Segmented income statements are prepared for each plant and each product manufactured in the plant. The salary of each plant manager is a traceable fixed cost to the plant and a common fixed cost for the individual product lines made in the plant.
The traceable fixed cost for a corporation means that this cost has a relationship between cost and effect related to a particular area or region of the country, or related to a process just operated in a specific location. This traceable fixed cost is part of the equation because there is a peculiar business that includes it. Or there is a necessity to be covered.
The answer should be $2.80 because $31.11 x 9% = $2.80
