Answer: Creates monopoly power

Explanation: A patent can be defined as an intangible asset the gives its holder the right that no other person in the world can use, sell or produce the unique good or service that has been patented by its inventor.

Thus, the right to produce or use a specific invention by a single person can lead to monopoly in that particular industry.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the right answer is option D.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

B. - 5.71%

Explanation:

Given that

Purchase price = 1000 × 35 = 35000

Selling price = 1100 × 30 = 33000

Recall that

ROI = Net profit/total investment × 100

And that

Net profit = selling price - purchase price

= 33000 - 35000

= -2000

Therefore,

ROI = -2000/35000 × 100

= - 0.05714 × 100

= - 5.71 %

Thus, total return on investment is -5.71%

Given that

The expected cash inlfows would be $9,400 for four years each

Rate of return is 7%

The Initial investment is $30,455

Based on the above information

The net present value is

= $9,400 × PVIFA factor for 7% at 4 years - $30,455

= $9,400 × 3.3872 - $30,455

= $31,840 - $30,455

= $1,385

Now the present value factor is

= $30,455 ÷ $9,400

= 3.2399

Now based on the factor table, the rate should be 9% for four years

beks73 [17]

Answer:

$0.1  

Explanation:

The per unit cost of a production is the sum of variable cost and fixed cost divided by the total number of units produced. The per unit cost is given by the formula:

Per unit cost = (Variable cost + Fixed cost) / Number of units produced

Variable cost = Cost of raw material = Units of raw material × Cost of each unit of raw material = 5 units × $4/unit = $20

Fixed cost = Cost of labor + Capital =(Units of capital × Cost of each unit of capital) + (Units of labor × Cost of each unit of labor)  = (8 units × $3/unit) + (2 units × $10/unit) = $24 + $20 = $44

Variable cost + Fixed cost = $20 + $44 = $64

Per-unit cost of production = (Variable cost + Fixed cost) / Total output = $64 / 640 = $0.1
