Answer:

Each company drills two wells and experiences a profit of $22 million.

Explanation:

If each company acts independently and drills two oil wells each they will have a total of 4 wells each worth (60 million ÷ 4= $15 million.

Each company will have two oil wells which equals (2* 15 million = $30 million)

But each company incurs cost of $4 million per well. That is total cost of $8 million.

Therefore the profit for each company will be $30 million - $8 million= $22 million

On the other hand homogeneity is when different samples of something are consistently the same.

Hannah has been used to the homogeneity of the previous chef's cooking. So when a new chef was brought in to cook due to heterogeneity she felt the lasagna she was served was undercooked and starkly different in flavor compared with the ones she had previously eaten at the restaurant.

Margaret [11]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

All other things being equal, an increase in the cost of production of a product will decrease the units of the product being reduced and this reduction in supply shifts the supply curve to left while a decrease in the cost of production will increase the units of the product being produced and this shifts the supply curve to the right.

Printed circuit boards is one of the materials used to build computers and since the price has increased, the cost of producing computer also increases and this will make the producers to produce less, shifting the supply curve to the left.
