Price discrimination is a rational strategy for a profit-maximizing monopolist when there is no opportunity for arbitrage across market segments.

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Price disparity is a pricing strategy in which businesses charge different rates to each consumer for the same goods or services depending on how much the consumer is actually willing to pay. The consumer usually doesn't know that such actions are taking place. Thus this help monopolies to earn more profit which is drived during market arbitrage, which is basically to reap the benefits of a price gap as it is a simultaneous bartering of the same commodity in various markets. It comes about because of asymmetric knowledge among sellers and buyers.

The price of gold is currently $1,400 per ounce. The forward price for delivery in one year is$1,500. An arbitrageur can borrow
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The arbitrageur should borrow money at 4% per annum since it is cheaper than paying the forward price for delivery

Explanation:

Current price of gold=$1,400 per ounce

Forward price=$1,500

The arbitrageur can either pay the forward price or borrow $1400 and pay the interest of 4% in a year. Consider option 1 paying the forward price of 1500

Option 1

Since there are no additional costs, the total cost for buying the gold=forward price=$1,500

Option 2

If the arbitrageur borrows the 1400 to pay for the gold now, then pay the interest in 1 year;

The total cost=Amount borrowed+interest accrued in 1 year

Total cost=1400+(4%×1400)

1400+((4/100)×1400)

1400+56=$1456

Since there are no additional costs, option 2=$1456

If we compare option 1 to option 2, we notice that option 2 is slightly cheaper than option 1 by $44

(Option 1-Option 2)=(1500-1456)=$44

The arbitrageur should borrow money at 4% per annum since it is cheaper than paying the forward price for delivery

prisoha [69]

Answer: D. Two of the most experienced employees on the team reported having to shoulder a disproportionate amount of the current workload and asked for an internal transfer.

Explanation:

Social loafing means when an individual exerts less effort in order to achieve a particular goal when the individual is part of a group but when the individual works alone , he or she works harder and exerts more effort.

Based on the information given, the presence of social loafing in the team will be that "Two of the most experienced employees on the team reported having to shoulder a disproportionate amount of the current workload and asked for an internal transfer".

Here, there's dispersion of responsibility as the results in he group group can't be attributed to a particular employee. In such case, the employees may be tempted to wanting to work alone.
