Hotco oil burners, designed to be used in asphalt plants, are so efficient that Hotco will sell one to the Clifton Asphalt plant

for no payment other than the cost savings between the total amount the asphalt plant actually paid for oil using its former burner during the last two years and the total amount it will pay for oil using the Hotco burner during the next two years. On installation, the plant will make an estimated payment, which will be adjusted after two years to equal the actual cost savings.
Which of the following, if it occurred, would constitute a disadvantage for Hotco of the plan described above?
A) Another manufacturer’s introduction to the market of a similarly efficient burner
B) The Clifton Asphalt plant’s need for more than one new burner
C) Very poor efficiency in the Clifton Asphalt plant’s old burner
D) A decrease in the demand for asphalt
E) A steady increase in the price of oil beginning soon after the new burner is installed

Answer:

Hotco

If it occurred, this would constitute a disadvantage for Hotco of the plan described above:

E) A steady increase in the price of oil beginning soon after the new burner is installed.

Explanation:

A steady oil price increase commencing soon after the new burner is installed will obliterate the actual cost savings from which Clifton Asphalt would be paying Hotco for the oil burners.

This is buttressed by the fact of the payment terms that totally depends on the cost savings.

Even the adjustment after two years may not benefit Hotco if the steady increase in the price of oil persists.

Morgarella [4.7K]
<span>The total number of students = 280
  Sum of ages of children = 3238
   Let the number of children of ages 11 year old = x
   and the number of children of ages 12 year old = y
   Equation 1. x+y=280
   Equation 2. 11x + 12y = 3238
   From Equation1. y= 280-x
 Now, put the value of Y in equation 2 which gives 11x+12(280-x) = 3238
from this, 11x + 3360-12x = 3238
 x = 3360-3238
 x = 122 = children of age 11 years.
   putting value of x in equation 1,
 122+y = 280
 y = 280-122
 y =158 = children of age 12 years
   Answer. children of age 11 years =122</span>

The value of U.S. imports is Multiple Choice
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Option (1) is correct.

Explanation:

The value of imports refers to the amount of goods that are purchased by the residents of the home country from the foreign country. While calculating the gross domestic product (GDP) of a particular nation the value of imports is subtracted from the value of exports of that nation.

The value of imports doesn't contribute towards the domestic production of United States because these goods are produced in the foreign country.

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + Net Exports

        = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + (Exports - Imports)

Answer:

A) Information asymmetry.

Explanation:

An information asymmetry can be defined as a situation where there is an imbalance of information between two parties in their knowledge of important points, factors and details. Thus, because one party has more information or knowledge than the other, this usually results in an inefficient outcome and or failure.
