Answer:  c. the products would no longer be similar in the wheat market.

Explanation;

In a perfectly competitive market, goods are meant to be homogeneous which leads to stiffer competition as a consumer could just switch from one seller to another and still get the same utility as all products are similar.

If one product starts to taste better and have fewer calories, the products in the market will no longer be homogeneous and competition will decrease because switching to this newer wheat would increase a consumer's utility as opposed to not therefore more people will switch and other competitors will not be able to compete unless they start producing better wheat as well.

The inventory turnover measures:
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The average number of times inventory is sold during the period.

Explanation:

Inventory turnover by definition is the relationship between inventories and the cost of goods sold by a firm. It measures on average, how many times the inventory was restocked and sold in the operating period.

A higher number usually suggests a healthier operation cycle for a business.

It is measured by,

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

Option 1 and Option 3 are related to the performance of accounts receivables. Option 3 is the closest to above mentioned definition. Option 4 is only measuring the inventory clearance time.

Hope that helps.

He georgetown, south carolina, traffic division reported 40% of high-speed chases involving automobiles result in a minor or maj
stellarik [79]

Answer: The probability that 25 or more out of 50 high speed chases result in minor or major accidents is 0.097807364  or 9.781%.

The rate of accidents at 0.40 is a constant rate, and hence we can use the binomial distribution to calculate the probability.

The formula for computing the probability with the binomial distribution is:

P(X=x) = _{n}C_{x}*p^{x}*q^{n-x}

where

N  is number of trials  = 50

p is probability of of a hit in a single trial. In this case, p = 0.40

q is probability of of a miss in a single trial. Now q = 1 - p; q = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6 for this question

x will take on the whole numbers from 25  and continue upto 50

The questions asks us to compute the probability that 25 or more chases will result in an accident.  

We express this as P( X≥ 25) mathematically.

We can also express P( X≥ 25)  as P (x=25) + P(x=26) + ................ + P(50) i.e the sum of all the individual probabilities when x assumes each of the values from 25 upto 50.

That's why x will take on each of the whole numbers from 25 to 50.

We can compute P( X=25) by substituting the values in the formula above.

P(X=25) = _{50}C_{25}*0.4^{25}*0.6^{50-25}

P(X=25) = \frac{n!}{x!*(n-x)!}*0.4^{25}*0.6^{50-25}

P(X=25) = \frac{50!}{25!*(50-25)!}*0.4^{25}*0.6^{50-25}

P(x=25) = 0.040463604

Similarly we need to compute the probabilities for x =26, 27 and so on until x =50. The sum total of all these probabilities the answer.

The workings have been made in excel and are attached to this answer as a picture.
