Answer:
A) federal funds rate
Explanation:
At the end of every day, banks are required to have a certain percentage of deposits on hand (the government sets the amount so that banks don't loan out all of their money at once). In order to have the right amount on hand, banks loan each other money at the federal funds rate of interest.
Answer: c. competitor imitation
Explanation:
When a company makes a good product that people like and therefore brings in profit, other companies will copy that product if it is not protected by law so that they too can make profit as well.
This is what happened to the Crocs' clogs. Other companies imitated them and so Crocs lost their competitive advantage. This led to prices falling for such footwear as the supply increased. It is for this reason that companies try to get patents when they make a product.
Answer:
C) does not have a close substitute.
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure where there is only a single seller but many buyers. The seller therefore has more bargaining power over buyers and is therefore the price maker; a monopolist decides and sets the price of the product. Since there is only one seller, it means that the good does not have close substitutes. However, a multi-product monopolist could sell goods or services that are close complements.
Answer:
1. C. 12 cases remaining
2. B. 3 days
3. A. 4 Cases
4. A. $2.00
5. B. 11 cases
Explanation:
4 cases of beer are sold everyday. The ordering cost is $8.00 per order,
Reorder point = Lead time * Units demanded per day
Reorder point = 3 days * 4 cases of beer = 12 cases remaining
Economic Order Quantity = 
EOQ = 11 cases
I guess the correct answer is they would do better charging $15 than $10.
Tom and Sadie charge people to park on their lawn while attending a nearby craft fair. At the current price of $10, eight people park on their lawn. If they raise the price to $15, they know that only six people will want to park on their lawn. Whether they have eight or six cars parked on their lawn does not affect their costs. From this information it follows that they would do better charging $15 than $10.
