Answer:

to reduce the amount paid to suppliers. For example, a retailer with great buying power (Walmart, Amazon) can offer very small profit margins to suppliers as they have little alternative.Collusion between existing firms in an industry to exclude new firms from deals to prevent the market from becoming more competitive.Sticking to output quotas and higher prices.Collusive tendering. For example, ‘cover prices’ for competitive tendering in bidding for public construction contracts. This is when a rival firm agrees to set artificially high price to allow the firm of choice to win with a relatively high contract offer.Types of collusionFormal collusion – when firms make formal agreement to stick to high prices. This can involve the creation of a cartel. The most famous cartel is OPEC – an organisation concerned with setting prices for oil.Tacit collusion – where firms make informal agreements or collude without actually speaking to their rivals. This may be to avoid detection by government regulatorsPrice leadership. It is possible firms may try to unofficially collude by following the prices set by a  market leader. This enables them to keep prices high, without ever meeting with rival firms. This kind of collusion is hard to prove whether it is unfair competition or just the natural operation of markets.Problems of collusionCollusion is seen as bad for consumers and economic welfare, and therefore collusion is mostly regulated by governments. Collusion can lead to:High prices for consumers. This leads to a decline in consumer surplus and allocative inefficiency (Price pushed up above marginal cost)New firms can be discouraged from entering the market by types of collusion which act as a barrier to entry.Easy profits from collusion can make firms lazy and avoid innovation and efforts to increase productivity.Industry gets the disadvantages of monopoly (higher price) but none of the advantages (e.g. economies of scale)Justification for collusionIn times of unprofitable business conditions, collusion may be a way to try and save the industry and prevent firms from going out of business, which wouldn’t be in the long-term consumer interest. Dairy suppliers tried to use this justification in 2002/03 after problems from foot and mouth disease led to a decline in farm incomes.Research and development. Profits from collusion could, in theory, be used to invest in research and development.Milk price by supermarkets 2002-03After a period of low milk, butter and cheese

A program is seeded with 30 faults. During testing, 21 faults are detected, 15 of which are seeded faults and 6 of which are ind
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Estimated number of indigenous faults remaining undetected is 6

Explanation:

The maximum likelihood estimate of indigenous faults is given by,

N_F=n_F\times \frac{N_S}{n_S} here,

n_F = the number of unseeded faults = 6

N_S = number of seeded faults = 30

n_s = number of seeded faults found = 15

So NF will be calculated as,

N_F=6\times \frac{30}{15}=12

And the estimate of faults remaining is  N_F-n_F = 12 - 6 = 6

When the compression process is non-quasi-equilibrium, the molecules before the piston face cannot escape fast enough, forming a
muminat

Answer:

a. true

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to understand what takes places during the compression process in a quasi-equilibrium process. A quasi-equilibrium process is a process in during which the system remains very close to a state of equilibrium at all times.  When a compression process is quasi-equilibrium, the work done during the compression is returned to the surroundings during expansion, no exchange of heat, and then the system and the surroundings return to their initial states. Thus a reversible process.

While for a non-quasi equilibrium process, it takes more work to move the piston against this high-pressure region.

An LED camping headlamp can run for 18 hours, powered by three AAA batteries. The batteries each have a capacity of 1000 mAh, an
KIM [24]

Answer:

a) the power consumption of the LEDs is 0.25 watt

b) the LEDs drew 0.0555 Amp current

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Three AAA Batteries;

<---- 1000mAh [ + -] 1.5 v ------1000mAh [ + -] 1.5 v --------1000mAh [ + -] 1.5 v------

so V_total = 3 × 1.5 = 4.5V

a) the power consumption of the LEDs

I_battery = 1000 mAh / 18hrs    { for 18 hrs}

I_battery = 1/18 Amp    { delivery by battery}

so consumption by led = I × V_total

we substitute

⇒ 1/18 × 4.5

P = 0.25 watt

Therefore the power consumption of the LEDs is 0.25 watt

b) How much current do the LEDs draw

I_Draw = I_battery = 1/18 Amp = 0.0555 Amp

Therefore the LEDs drew 0.0555 Amp current

In a planetary geartrain with a form factor of 8, the sun gear rotates clockwise at 5 rad⁄s and the ring gear rotates clockwise
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

D. N= 11. 22 rad/s (CW)

Explanation:

Given that

Form factor R = 8

Speed of sun gear = 5 rad/s (CW)

Speed of ring gear = 12 rad/s (CW)

Lets take speed of carrier gear is N

From Algebraic method ,the relationship between speed and form factor given as follows

\dfrac{N_{sun}-N}{N_{ring}-N}=-R

here negative sign means that ring and sun gear rotates in opposite direction

Lets take CW as positive and ACW as negative.

Now by putting the values

\dfrac{N_{sun}-N}{N_{ring}-N}=-R

\dfrac{5-N}{12-N}=-8

N= 11. 22 rad/s (CW)

So the speed of carrier gear is 11.22 rad/s clockwise.
