Answer:
much <em>more </em>likely;
There is only one car dealership in a small town, giving the dealership the ability to influence the price of cars. - <em>Market power</em>
A person smoking in a restaurant emits second-hand smoke that harms other restaurant patrons. - <em>Externality</em>
Explanation:
<u>Property rights</u> are an incentive for individuals to create goods that are needed on the market. In other words, when a discrepancy between demand and supply occurs on a specific market, entities, businesses or individuals that create the goods are motivated to meet market needs through enforced property rights.
On the other hand, when there is a lack of property rights that regulate the market, <em>market failures</em> occur. Two common types of market failures include <em>market power</em> and <em>externalities</em>.
The car dealership example shows <u>market power</u> in practice, as the reigning company can dictate car prices.
The second example shows an externality, as there is evident influence (cost or benefit) on the third party, which they cannot change. People are affected (negatively) by smoke they did not create.
Answer:
Ending inventory as at 31 December = $1500
Explanation:
First-In-First-Out is a method of inventory valuation whereby the stock that comes in first, is used first. This is common for inventory consisting of perishables, such as vegetables where if not used/sold soon, it would be wasted.
Jan 31: Purchases = $20 x 100 units = $2000
<em><u>Remaining inventory:</u></em>
$20 x 100 units = $2000
Feb 28: Purchases = $30 x 100 units = $3000
<em><u>Remaining inventory:</u></em>
$20 x 100 units = $2000
$30 x 100 units = $3000
<em><u>Sales = 150 units x $45:</u></em>
$20 x 100 units = $2000
$30 x 50 units = $1500
<em><u>Remaining inventory</u></em>
200 - 150 = 50 units x $30 = $1500
<em>Thus,</em>
Cost of Goods Sold = $3500 ($2000 + $1500)
Ending inventory as at 31 December = $1500
Answer:
The market that characterizes the industry in which Forey competes is a market where competition is at its greatest possible level and it is a perfectly competitive market and the reason is because its returns decrease with the entering of new firms, also four-firm concentration ratio and Herfindahl Hirschman index are both quite small, so no one has significant market power to set or even influence the market price. In the short-run Forey Inc’s profit will decrease as more and more new firms enter the market and in the long-run Forey Inc will receive only normal (zero) economic profit.
Answer:
c. 30 percent lower.
Explanation:
Since the manufacturer is contemplating a switch from buying to producing a certain item while setup cost would be the same as ordering cost, the production rate would be about double the usage rate.
Compared to the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), the maximum inventory would be approximately 30 percent lower under Economic Production Quantity (EPQ), and higher under EOQ.
