Cooperation among oligopolies runs counter to the public interest because it leads to underproduction and high prices. In an eff

ort to bring resource allocation closer to the social optimum, public officials attempt to force oligopolies to compete instead of cooperating. Consider the following scenario:
Suppose that the leaders of several oil corporations hold a secret meeting in the Cayman Islands where they agree to restrict fuel output in order to boost prices. As a result of the higher fuel prices, an airline company loses billions of dollars. This airline company could recover three times the damages it has sustained by suing the appropriate oil corporations under which of the following laws?

a. The Celler–Kefauver Act of 1950

b. The Clayton Act of 1914

c. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890

d. The Robinson–Patman Act of 1936

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": The Clayton Act of 1914.

Explanation:

Named after judge Henry De Lamar Clayton (1857-1929), The Clayton Act of 1914 prohibits antitrust business practices, predatory pricing, anticompetitive mergers, and unethical organizational behavior. The <em>Antitrust Division</em> of the <em>Department of Justice</em> enforces the legislation covered on corporate practices forbidden by the <em>Federal Trade Commission</em> (FTC).

Thus, in the case, <em>the airline company affected by the collision of the oil drillers that had oil hidden in the Cayman island can suit the company promoting such unethical organizational practice to be compensated for the losses incurred.</em>

A sophisticated  sales test might involve manipulating an advertising variable like schedule or copy through cable systems, and observing the affects on purchasing at local supermarkets.

What is advertising variable?

  • Although advertising expenditures can change greatly, they are not regarded as variable costs.
  • Instead, marketing costs are fixed, meaning they don't change based on how many goods or services you offer to customers.

Why is marketing considered a variable cost?

  • Businesses may set aside a specific amount for advertising within their fixed marketing budget, despite having a fixed budget for marketing.
  • Advertising is therefore a current expense rather than a fixed one. Therefore, whether it be print or online, businesses must spend money on advertising.

Dear Mr. Sanchez: Your efforts to promote ethical business practices in our city have drawn national recognition. You are an exc
Xelga [282]

Answer:

1) - a - Last year, after learning about the importance of ethical leadership, students who attended our conference returned to their home schools and implemented a total of nine ethics and leadership initiatives. One of these initiatives included a project in which students researched ethical leaders in the local community. Naturally, the students encountered much of your work and have humbly requested your presence at the Ethics and Leadership for Youth conference this year. As a speaker at the ELY conference, you would have the opportunity to significantly impact our next generation of leaders.

2). b - It does not state the reasons before the main idea, and it has no reader benefits.

3). - c - Make a reasonable request.

Explanation:

1). The first option most adequately rephrases the third paragraph by reconsidering the main ideas effectively and clarifies the author's purpose effeciently. It presents the main idea of the 'significance of ethical leadership and its success' more clearly through appropriate evidence('nine ethics and leadership initiatives taken by students). It presents the given idea more impactfully by strengthening the language of the paragraph.

2). The key problem that the given message contains is that 'it fails to provide adequate reasons before presenting the main idea to the readers and this is why readers do not gain any message or specific idea.' The lack of logical explanation of the main idea does not allow the readers to understand the purpose for which the given content is produced and just become a passive information they are receiving as they aren't able to relate to it.

3). The main characteristics of a constructive claim or complaint messages include 'offering a reasonable request.' Reason is something that not only justifies the validity of the argument but also positions the author's stand on the topic. An effective claim or complaint displays appropriate reason or logic behind it and establishes its credibility and convinces the reader with sufficient evidence that it is worthy and fair. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
