Answer:
Advertisement doesn't exist in perfect competition markets. Perfect competition markets are theoretical only, since they do not exist in reality although some markets resemble or are similar, e.g. commodities. One of the characteristics of perfect competition markets is that every participant possesses perfect information regarding the products' characteristics and price. If everyone knows a product perfectly, then there is no reason why you should advertise it.

Answer:
Over the life of the battery, the battery that is most cost-effective is:
The AA alkaline non rechargeable battery.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of times that NiCad batteries can be recharged (reused) = 100 times
Cost of a 4 pack of AA NiCad rechargeable batteries = $10.80
Recharging cost = $1 ($0.01 * 100)
Total cost of AA NiCad rechargeable batteries = $11.80
Cost per use = $0.12 ($11.80/100)
Cost of a 4 pack of AA alkaline non rechargeable batteries = $3.69
Cost per use of AA alkaline non rechargeable batteries = $0.04 ($3.69/100)
b) The comparison and the resulting conclusions are based on the assumption that the non rechargeable and the rechargeable batteries enjoy equal useful life. Therefore, the AA alkaline non rechargeable batteries are also used 100 times.
Explanation:
I do not think that is true even considering a linear cost of every 4 pairs of shoes
Answer:
The correct answer is: zero; zero.
Explanation:
If a monopolist discovers a way to perfectly discriminate, it means that the monopolist will charge equal to the willingness to pay from each consumer.
The consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay and the price it actually pays.
Since each consumer is paying price equal to its willingness to pay, the consumer surplus will be zero.
There will be no efficiency costs. The monopolist will sell output where the maximum price the consumer is willing to pay is equal to or greater than the marginal cost. So all efficient trades will occur, there will be no efficiency costs.
Answer:
b) Initiator
Explanation:
As Martha owns a chocolate factory where each chocolate treat is made by hand. Her assistant Daniel feels that the rate of production can be dramatically increased if the company switched to an automated assembly line to manufacture the chocolates. When he proposes this idea to Martha, she agrees and begins evaluating different vendors who might provide the equipment to the company. Daniel has performed the role of initiator in this purchasing process. In purchasing process, there are many people involved:
Initiator - Influencer - Decider - Buyer - User
Initiator starts the idea, presents the idea of buying something which then is influenced and enhanced by the influencer, and then actual decider decides the buying product and is being bought then and further used by someone. These all persons can be the same person and or either one single person can perform all of these roles but here in this case Daniel has performed the role of initiator as he has given the advise of automation to Martha.
