Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": readily available substitute.

Explanation:

American Harvard School Professor Michael E. Porter (born in 1947) states there are Five Forces determining the factors that influence industry competition and profitability. Those forces are:

  • <em>The threat of new market players </em>
  • <em>The threat of substitute products  </em>
  • <em>Power of customers </em>
  • <em>Power of suppliers </em>
  • <em>Industry rivalry </em>

According to Porter, the bargaining power of suppliers is powerful when switching costs of buyers are high, when there is a small number of suppliers compared to buyers, when switching costs of suppliers are low or <em>when substitutes are unavailable</em>.

A minimum wage is an example of a price floor or minimum price that must be paid. If effective, such a price floor would be ____
valkas [14]

Answer:

If effective, such a price floor would be <u>above</u> the market price and would lead to a <u>excess supply</u>.

Explanation:

A price floor can be described as a price control in which the minimum price to be charged for goods and services is imposed by a government or a group.

For a price floor to be effective and binding, it has to be set above the market or equilibrium price. This is because a price floor will neither be effective nor nonbinding when it set below the equilibrium price.

Any price above the equilibrium or market price creates or leads to excess supply. Excess supply is a situation whereby quantiy of commodity supplied is more than the quantity demanded of the commodity.

Based on the above explanation, if effective, such a price floor would be <u>above</u> the market price and would lead to a <u>excess supply</u>.

Shortly after you purchase the laptop, you receive your first credit card bill and forget to pay it, because it’s a new responsi
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer and explanation:

<em>Forgetting to pay debts has a detrimental effect on the length and interest payment of a loan</em>. The more a consumer falls behind in the repayment of a debt the longer it will take to pay off the total amount owed. Besides, the interest rate is recalculated by the financial institution implying more interest will be paid.

Therefore, forgetting to pay debts must be avoided. <em>Setting automated payments is a good measure to avoid such circumstances.</em>

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

C, they analyze police reports about crimes reported by victims

Option B and D are wrong because 'Potential' victims do not always translate to actual victims, This will make the data that collected by the firm become misleading. They wouldn't find out the type of crimes that often happen in real life and wouldn't be able to design a proper solution for them.

Option C is the best choice from the available options. Even though it's not perfect. There are a lot of crimes that often goes unreported by the victims (such as domestic abuse)
