Answer: B
Explanation: A cartel is a group of apparently independent producers whose goal is to increase their collective profits by means of price fixing, limiting supply, or other restrictive practices. Cartels typically control selling prices, but some are organized to force down the prices of purchased inputs. Antitrust laws attempt to deter or forbid cartels. A single entity that holds a monopoly by this definition cannot be a cartel, though it may be guilty of abusing said monopoly in other ways. Cartels usually arise in oligopolies industries with a small number of sellers and usually involve homogeneous products.
Answer: c. 530,000 grams
Explanation:
Finished goods that should be produced in the year;
= Units to be sold + ending inventory - beginning inventory
= 170,000 + 32,000 - 22,000
= 180,000 units of finished goods.
Each unit of finished good requires 3 grams of raw material;
= 180,000 * 3
= 540,000 grams
Raw materials to be purchased;
= Raw materials needed + ending inventory - beginning inventory
= 540,000 + 42,000 - 52,000
= 530,000 grams
