A monopoly, unlike a perfectly competitive firm, has some market power. Thus, it can raise its price, within limits, without qua

ntity demanded falling to zero. The main way monopolies retain their market power is through barriers to entry, which prevent other companies from entering monopolized markets and competing for customers. Consider the market for electronics. Patents are granted to inventors of products or processes for a certain number of years to encourage innovation. Without patents, research and development needed to improve electronics are unlikely to occur, as nothing would then prevent other firms from stealing ideas and copying products.Which of the following best explains the barriers to entry that exist in this scenario?a. Control over an important inputb. Legal barriersc. Increasing returns to scale

A thief steals an ATM card and must randomly guess the correct three​-digit pin code from a 9​-key keypad. Repetition of digits
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The thief has a 0.11% probability of hitting the pin code on the first try.

Explanation:

Simply, if the ATM card has a 3-digit code that can be repeated, and the board has 9 numbers (for example, from 1 to 9), we must start from the smallest number that could be formed with these numbers to the highest number that these numbers could also compose, which in the case would be 111 and 999. Then, 889 different numbers could be formed (it is the distance between 111 and 999), with which the possibility of hitting the key to the first attempt would be 1 in 889 times, or 1/889.

To take the probability to a percentage, we must know that 889 / 8.89 gives 100. Therefore, dividing 1 / 8.89 we will know the percentage of probabilities of hitting the key on the first attempt: 1 / 8.89 = 0.11.

This shows us that the thief has a 0.11% probability of hitting the key on the first try.

Effective SCM requires reducing cost, increasing inventory velocity and compressing cycle time. What of the following is true? 1
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The answer is: 4) More frequently than not, the three objectives are compatible.

Explanation:

Toyota is famous for its Just in Time (JIT) management. They are the absolute kings of efficient supply chain management and they were able to do it by making the three objectives compatible. That doesn't mean that they all have to be dealt with at the same time and with the same intensity.

Toyota's first goal was to reduce costs and in order to reduce costs they had to increase their inventory turnover. Then they discovered that in order to keep increasing inventory turnover, they had to compress their cycle time. When they were able to compress their cycle time, their turnover increased even more and their costs were lowered. The system produces continuous feedback and their efficiency keeps increasing.

I once visited one of their factories that produces almost 500 pickup trucks per day and every single work station had available inventory for only 4 trucks; only 4 engines, 16 doors, etc. It is amazing how they do it considering that every 3 minutes one truck is fully produced.

The three objectives are not only compatible, but they are absolutely necessary for the SCM to be effective.

Quaker State Wings has 320,000 shares outstanding and net income of $980,000. The company stock is currently selling for $62.97
ELEN [110]

Answer:

The new EPS is $ 3.16  

Explanation:

In order to compute the earnings per share after the share repurchase the shares repurchased must deducted from the weighted average number of share of 320,000 before repurchase so as  to arrive at the number of shares eligible for the earnings after such repurchase.

The number of shares repurchased=$634,000/$62.97

                                                           = 10,068.29  

The average weighted number of shares after repurchase is  309,931.71  (320,000-10,068.29)

EPS after repurchase=$980,000/309,931.71

                                   =$3.16 per share
