Answer:

C. Products of individual firms are different.

Explanation:

The monopolistic competition market has many competing sellers and manufacturers (businesses). In this type of market, firms compete by producing substitute (differentiated) goods that can replace each other, while not competing homogeneous goods. The production of differentiated goods gives this market both a competitive and monopolistic feature, but prices cannot be determined by a small number of companies due to the large number of sellers in the market. The important thing in the monopolistic competition market is that the goods are interesting, preferred and indispensable.

Monopolistic competition features:

1) There are many sellers.

2) Differentiated products, products are not exactly the same as in the competitive market.

3) Firms are not determining the price.

4) Each firm has a decreasing demand curve.

5) Companies can enter and leave the market without restrictions. This traffic continues until the profit of the companies becomes worthless.

Perfect competition market; In a market, it is the market where no seller has the power to influence the price of the product he sells. There are very strict conditions for a market to be in perfect competition, and therefore it is difficult to find a full competition market in the real world. In full competition, P = MR = D and parallel to the quantity axis

By saying the Conditions of Perfect Competition Market-perfect competition market is based on four assumptions:

1) There are many buyers and sellers in the market.

2) Homogeneity Condition: Each firm produces and sells the same and homogeneous type product.

3) Mobility Condition: Firms can easily enter and exit the market.

4) Clarity Condition: Buyers and sellers have all the information about the market.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

50 packages of offer 1 and 50 packages of offer 2

Explanation:

Determine How many packages of each offer do they have to sell to maximize the profit

Number of package of offer 1 = x

Number of package of offer 2 = y

Applying the LPP model

max Z = 30 x + 50 y ---- ( 1 )

now subject to the constraints from Linear programming

x + 3y ≤ 200 ------ L1

x + y ≤ 100 ------ L2

x ≥ 20 ------------- L3

y ≥ 10 -------------- L4

therefore the number of packages of each offer that can be sold to maximize profit will be : X = 50 and Y = 50 referring to equation from the LPP model considering that the shop can sell at most 100 pairs

What are the differences between first-generation OD and second-generation OD? What are the major changes between these two gene

MaRussiya [10]

1st generation: focused on individual growth through t-groups. management practices and employee involvement.
-action research, survey feedback, and sociotechnical systems.

2nd generation: emphasized larger, system-wide concerns such as culture, change management, and organizational development.

I believe there is a little big of both losses and gains. OD is not a one-size fits all approach. therefore different organizations require different aproaches. it is a gain in the sense that we have new experience and research programs, academics have built on the previous practices so they are new and improved. But it is a loss because maybe for a certain company a 1st generation OD practice would work best but it has been over looked or changed so much because of the 2nd generation "gains" they never try it out.

Differentiate between cash-basis accounting and accrual-basis accounting. Why is accrual-basis accounting the preferred method f

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Reason : To ensure constant flow of cash

Explanation:

Accrual Basis of accounting records transactions when they meet definition and recognition criteria of Assets, Liabilities,Equity, Expense and Incomes.

This is different from cash-basis accounting which records transactions at the receipt or payment of cash.

Because of timing difference, the cash transactions (cash basis) can happen a late than the day of recognition of the elements (accrual basis).

Hence Revenue services demand that income tax be calculated on accrual basis to ensure a constant flow of cash whenever an entity transact.
