Retail distribution
The illegal drug business or trade primarily consists of the cultivation, manufacture, distribution and sales of prohibited drugs.
Cultivation and manufacture involves planting and harvesting prohibited drugs from plant sources (e.g. opium or marijuana) and processing the plant raw materials to produce the final product. For synthetic drugs, manufacture entails securing (sometimes by importation) of the chemicals required for the production of a certain drug (e.g. methamphetamine). Importation of the raw materials or final products might also be necessary to meet the demands.
With the final product at hand, the next step is to distribute and sell the drugs -- wholesale or retail. Wholesale distribution and sales involve large amounts (in bulk) of the illegal drugs while retail involves smaller amounts.
Answer:
C) Third
Explanation:
The first meal gives you 4 units of utility for every dollar spent (= 100 utility / $25).
The second meal gives you 5 units of utility for every dollar spent (= 10 utility / $2).
The third meal gives you 10 units of utility for every dollar spent (= 50 / $5). We should choose the meal that provides us with the greatest utility per dollar.
The higher the supply the lower the price will be and the higher the demand the higher the price will be. This means that they have an inverse relationship. In short, the more you need something the more you're willing to pay for it, and the less you need it the less you want to pay, and this is basically how the economy works when producing and selling.
Answer: ($24100)
Explanation:
The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company goes thus:
The relevant cost to produce will be:
= ($4.10 × 19,000) + ($8.70 × 19,000) + ($9.20 × 19,000) + ($4.60 × 19,000) + $31,000
= $77900 + $165300 + $174800 + $87400 + $31000
= $536,400
The relevant costs to buy will be:
= 19,000 × $29.5
= $560,500
Since the relevant cost to buy is more than the relevant cost to produce, then the financial disadvantage will be:
= $560500 - $536,400
= $24,100
The answer is ($24,100)
Answer:
Mergers or Information Management
