Answer:

Martha

Based on the data and assuming these trends continue,

Investment in Handy Prosthetics is preferred as it would give Martha a stable long-term investment.

Explanation:

a) Data:

                                                          Handy         El Lobo Malo

                                                       Prosthetics    Incorporated

Standard deviation of stock prices = $1.05            $9.82

b) The above standard deviations measure the spread of the stock prices over their daily stock closing prices in one year.  The Handy Prosthetics' stock does not fluctuate as much as the El Lobo Malo's stock.  This reduced fluctuation in prices makes it a more stable investment than El Lobo Malo's stock.  Therefore, Martha should prefer the Handy's stock to the El Lobo Malo's stock.

As long as a market is contestable, then even if it has only a few sellers, the Group of answer choices threat of new entrants w
Irina18 [472]

Answer: threat of new entrants will prevent the prices from rising above the competitive level.

Explanation:

A contestable market has competition such that sellers cannot unilaterally decide to sell at a certain price. They have to sell at a competitive price that is set by the market to ensure that goods are allocated efficiently.

If the prices attempt to rise above this competitive level, new sellers will enter the market so as to make a profit which would have the effect of driving the price back down to where it was and even lower if even more sellers come in. The price is therefore maintained to ensure that this does not happen.
