Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": perfectly elastic.

Explanation:

Perfect Competition is a theoretical market system where competition is at its highest level as possible. Perfectly competitive markets are characterized by:

  • <em>All companies offer an equivalent product.</em>
  • <em>All companies are price takers.</em>
  • <em>All companies have a fairly small market share.</em>
  • <em>Buyers have full quality and pricing knowledge.</em>
  • <em>The company has low barriers or no barriers to entering and leaving an industry .</em>

<em>Plotted in a graph, perfectly competitive goods have a horizontal curve. This is because at any given price any quantity can be demanded. Thus, the curve of perfectly competitive firms is </em><u><em>perfectly elastic</em></u><em>.</em>

Home Division Responsibility Report For the Year Ended December 31, 2020

The report is attached in form of a variance report with comments.  Where the variance is not indicated, it means that it was neither favorable nor unfavorable.

Explanation:

A responsibility report is usually presented by a division that is an investment center.  An investment center has responsibility for return on investments.

The investment center takes charge of the cost, revenue, profit, and investments of the division.  It is expected to produce returns on its investment that will be favorable to the shareholders of the company.  It is directly responsible for profitability of the division vis-a-vis the capital investments made in the center.  It is unlike other divisions like cost center, revenue center, and profit center, which narrowly report their performances in accordance with their responsibilities.

This is why it does not only report on the cost, but also the revenue, the profit and the returns on investment achieved during a period.  An investment center is, therefore, the largest division of an entity.

mamaluj [8]

Answer: Utilitarianism

Explanation:

Utilitarianism can he defined a moral theory that supports actions that boost overall pleasure or happiness and rebuff actions that lead to harm or unhappiness. A utilitarian philosophy aims to make the society a better place.

The maxim of utilitarianism is that a considerable amount of good should go to a considerable amount of people. Utilitarianism seeks to maximize well-being and happiness. Mama Diner's restaurant was closed because the principle of utilitarianism was not followed because handicapped students couldn't make use of bathroom stalls.

For example, if there is a new disease that kills people instantly when the affected person coughs around other people, the government might be forced to kill the person in order to save others.

A marketing company wants to estimate the proportion of consumers in a certain region of the country who would react favorably t
Sindrei [870]

The closest to the minimum number of consumers needed to obtain the estimate with the desired precision is (b) 271

Explanation:

When the prior estimate of population proportion is not given , then the formula to find the sample size is given by :-

n=0.25(\frac{z^{*} }{E} )^{2}

where E = Margin of error.

z* = Critical z-value.

As per given , we have

E = 5%=0.05

Confidence level = 90%

The critical value of z at 90% is 1.645  (By z-table)

Put all values in the formula , we get

n=0.25(1.645/0.05)²

n=0.25(32.9)²

n=270.6025≈271

Thus, the minimum sample size needed = 271

Hence , the correct answer is 271 .

How do trade-offs decided by corporations and government impact our lives?
Fittoniya [83]

Explanation:

Trade offs are something in which there are two things and we choose one of them according to our own preference or need. This is and should be our personal decision, but when Corporations and Governments decide on what to choose between two things, there would might be a negative impact on someone's life. He might feel controlled by the corporations and governments. For example, if corporations of CNG decides with the government that it is better for consumers to use CNG than Petrol in their cars, and lowers taxes on CNG and encourage consumers to shift towards CNG, then this trade off will have an impact of being controlled by the big giants. The choice should be of consumer's. The consumer should be the one who will trade off between things who are preferable for him.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

D. Deflation

Explanation:

"Consumer Price Index" <em>(CPI)</em> measures the changes in the weighted average of prices of a market basket (consisting of consumer goods and services). It tells the<u> cost of living for every consumer. </u>

"Inflation" refers to the sustained increase of prices of goods and services while "deflation" refers to the sustained decrease of prices of goods and services.

In the situation above, the CPI is considered lower than before, thus <u>deflation</u> must have occurred during the second six-year period. It shows a <u>negative inflation rate.</u>

So, this explains the answer.
