Answer: Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

The opportunity cost of attending college for Brooke is the amount that she could earn as an actress i.e. $2 million per year.

The opportunity cost of attending college for Sandy is the amount that he could earn by serving hamburgers i.e. $10,000 a year.

Therefore, opportunity cost of attending college is greater for Brooke than for Sandy.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The answer is: 10 Snickers bars and 20 cans of Coke.

Explanation:

To find out what combination she can buy with her total income ($32.50) we can just multiply the price of each product by its quantity;

  • If she buys 24 snickers bars and 12 cans of coke she will spend:

        (24 x $0.75) + (12 x $1.25) = $33     SHE CAN´T AFFORD TO BUY

  • If she buys 24 snickers bars and 12 cans of coke she will spend:

        (22 x $0.75) + (14 x $1.25) = $34     SHE CAN´T AFFORD TO BUY

  • If she buys 24 snickers bars and 12 cans of coke she will spend:

        (15 x $0.75) + (18 x $1.25) = $33.75     SHE CAN´T AFFORD TO BUY

  • If she buys 24 snickers bars and 12 cans of coke she will spend:

        (10 x $0.75) + (20 x $1.25) = $32.50    <u> </u><u>SHE CAN AFFORD TO BUY</u>

Which of the following would make it easier to maintain an effective collusive agreement in a cartel?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

A decrease in the elasticity of demand for the cartel's product.

Explanation:

The cartel is under the control of companies operating in the same area. This is undesirable. It is concluded between businesses and these contracts prevent competition. Such arrangements are also prevented by governments, which aims to promote competition among governments across the country. This type of arrangement creates unity and demonstrates business behavior in activities that prevent other competitors from entering the sector.

Adverse effects on consumers include:

1) Higher prices - cartel members can raise prices, which reduces the demand elasticity of any member.

2)  Lack of Transparency - Members may agree to hide prices or hide information such as hidden charges in credit card transactions.

3) Limited production - Members may agree to limit market production, such as OPEC and oil quotas.

4) Build Market - Cartel members can collectively divide a market into regions or regions and not compete in each other's territory.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

In simple words, Regardless of the expense of making guitars, the technique reduces the total cost of manufacturing a instrument. Phoenix would be in the production business of instruments, not pickups.

The target of this technique is therefore the entire guitar, not really the pickups. The smaller the process of manufacturing their instruments, the better manoeuvrability they have on the market. When they have reduced costs, they may change rates downwards in order to capture further market penetration.
