Answer:

a. oligopoly.

b. an economic profit.

c. economic profits will fall.

Explanation:

An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.

Hence, it is a market structure that is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is either similar or identical products and dominance by few firms.

The characteristics of an oligopolistic market structure are;

I. Mutual interdependence between the firms.

II. Market control by many small firms.

III. Difficult entry to new firms.

Hence, a firm operating in the United States of America with only two other competitors in the industry is likely to be an industry that would be characterized as oligopoly.

Additionally, business firms operating in this industry (oligopolistic market) will likely earn an economic profit. Also, if foreign business firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that economic profits will fall because the industry is now being competitive and controlled by other business firms.

Which form of investment has the most amount of risk involved?
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Is this supposed to be a multiple choice question?  It is way fun to think about projects other people might be up to which carry outrageously high risk!

Restaurants are a common example -- there's a little bit of magic in whether a new restaurant will catch on and become popular.

Farming is pretty risky.  You can do everything right and have a hail storm come and ruin the crops.  That's why there are government programs and commodity markets that help farmers mitigate their risk -- because the rest of us who need to eat really need for people to be willing to farm!

Jacob and Mason go to a diner that sells burritos for $5 and tacos for $3. They agree to split the lunch bill evenly. Mason choo
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$1

Explanation:

The marginal cost refers to the cost of producing one additional unit or serving one more customer.

In this case, we have to determine the additional cost of Jacob ordering a burrito instead of a taco. As Mason chose the tacos and they agreed to split the lunch bill evenly, if Jacob decides to eat the tacos, the cost for each of them is:

$3+$3=$6/2= $3

If Jacob decides to eat the burrito:

$3+$5= $8/2= $4

So, the marginal cost to Jacob ordering a burrito is:

$4-$3= $1
