Vikki [24]

Answer:

The answer is: Bargaining power of suppliers

Explanation:

Michael Porter developed his Five Forces Framework as a management tool for analyzing competition. It is divided into:

Threat of new entrants
Threat of substitutes
Bargaining power of customers
Bargaining power of suppliers
Competitive rivalry

Bargaining power of suppliers: Pressure suppliers can exert on its costumers (individuals or organizations) by raising prices, lowering quality, or reducing availability of their products. When suppliers are strong enough to pressure their customers, usually the buyers will end up paying higher costs due to; higher prices, lower quality or reduced availability of the product.

In this case, since ABC Pharmaceutical is the leader in cancer fighting drugs, they will use their dominant supplier position to raise the price of their product affecting their customers (patients, insurance companies, other health care organizations).

Containerization

<h3>What is Containerization?</h3>

This refers to the use of intermodal freight transport where cargoes are used in the transport of goods with the use of freights and superfreighters.

The consumer price index (CPI) can be used to measure inflation. There are potential problems with this process though that can

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

a. Overstates Inflation.

In the case of Mary and Bob, the CPI would have already increased but in this case the price of the minivan increased as well. This will overstate inflation because it will not measure the general rise in price alone (inflation), it will also measure the rise in price as a result of the new minivan having better features.

b. Understated Inflation

Donna's case represents an understated inflation because the quantity shrank yet the price stayed the same. This means that the price is now buying less quantity than it used to which is inflation because more dollars are now required to buy the previous amount. This was not however recorded as there was no change in price.

c. Overstates Inflation

In the case of Zach, the inflation will be overstated because Zach is no longer buying bagels and is now buying muffins so continuing to use bagels as a representative good in the basket of goods used to calculate CPI would be overstating it.

d. Accurate representation of Inflation

In Chris's case, the increase in the price of the same shoe over the years has been because of a general rise in prices and not because it is a different model. It is the same shoe and its price is rising generally so this is an accurate depiction of inflation.
