Answer:

The correct word for the blank space is: price war.

Explanation:

An Oligopoly is when a small group of two or more companies dominates a market. Oligopoly firms may consent to market collusion, and create barriers to new commerce entry. If the businesses do not, they will probably be forced to lower their prices and open the market to new and smaller companies.

<em>In the event one of the firms forming the oligopoly decides to lower prices, a </em><u><em>price war</em></u><em> occurs breaking the balance of the oligopoly and destabilizing the equilibrium of demand and supply in that market.</em>

Add : Pre tax net non operating Expense                             653                 426

Net Operating Income before Tax                                      2,777                3,114

Net Income before tax =  (Net Income (after tax)*1/(1 -Tax Rate)

Hal = 1,657 * 1/(1 - 22%)

= $2,124

SLB = 2,177 1/(1 - 22%)

= $2,688

Total Revenue                                                  23,995           32,815

A graphical analysis of tariffs reveals that Multiple Choice they benefit domestic consumers at the expense of domestic producer
BARSIC [14]

A graphical analysis of tariffs reveals that  they increase domestic production of the good for which imports face tariffs.

A tariff is a form of tax levied on the import  of certain goods and services. Import goods are goods that are brought into a country from another country.

Tariffs increases the price of imported goods. This discourages importation of those goods. As a result, there is less competition between foreign produced goods and domestic production. This boosts domestic production.

For each of the following errors, considered individually, indicate whether the error would cause the adjusted trial balance tot
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

a) The debit  and credit side of the unadjusted trial balance would be increased by $ 5200.

b) The debit side would remain unchanged. No effect will be seen  in the adjusted trial balance.

Explanation:

Effect of adjustments on adjusted Trial Balance.

This first entry would increase the wages expense and increase the liability account in the adjusted trial balance. Both debit and credit side would be increased by an equal amount.

b) This would decrease the Supplies account and increase the supplies expense in the unadjusted account. As both are on the debit side there would be no effect in the debit total.

Sr No                Account                    Debit          Credit

<u>Original Entries</u>

a.               Wages Expense            5200

                      Accounts Payable                         5200

b.             Supplies Expense          1125

                        Supplies Account                          1125

<u>Correct Entries</u>

a.                  Wages Expense          5200

                          Accrued Wages Account Payable       5200

b.             Supplies Expense          1125

                        Supplies Account                          1125

<u>Difference:</u>

<u>a)</u> We see that the first entry which was original passed the debit side is correct but the credit side would have been of accrued wages instead of accounts payable . This is to raise the amount by which wages are still outstanding by an amount 5200 at the end of the month.

This would decrease the accounts payable increase the wages payable . If the adjustment is not made it the salaries payable is understated .

<u>b)This adjusting entry is correct.</u>
