Answer: c. competitor imitation

Explanation:

When a company makes a good product that people like and therefore brings in profit, other companies will copy that product if it is not protected by law so that they too can make profit as well.

This is what happened to the Crocs' clogs. Other companies imitated them and so Crocs lost their competitive advantage. This led to prices falling for such footwear as the supply increased. It is for this reason that companies try to get patents when they make a product.

DASH Airlines is considering the addition of a flight from Red Cloud to David City. The total cost of the flight would be $1,100
Talja [164]

Answer: add this flight because marginal revenue exceeds marginal costs.

Explanation:

Since the total cost of the flight would be $1,100, of which $800 are fixed costs already incurred, then the variable cost in this case will be )$1100 - $800) = $300.

Since the expected revenues from the flight are $600, thus implies that the total revenue exceeds total variable cost and therefore Dash should add the flight because total revenue is more than total variable cost and the marginal revenue exceeds marginal costs.

You buy a lottery ticket to a lottery that costs $10 per ticket. There are only 100 tickets available to be sold in this lottery
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: The expected loss is $2.3

Explanation:

Total number of tickets to be sold = 100 tickets

one $450 prize, the expected gain = 450 x (1/100)  = $4.5

two $110 prizes, the expected gain = 110 x (2/100) = $2.2

four $25 prizes. the expected gain = 25 x (4/100) = $1

Expected gain (loss) = Total expected gain - Cost of the ticket

                                  = (4.5 + 2.2 + 1 ) - 10

                                  = (2.3)

The expected loss is $2.3
