Answer: D. make a conscious choice to do so

Explanation:

Based on the information given, in order to attain a "right livelihood," William needs to make a conscious choice to do so.

Option A is wrong as getting promoted so he can delegate more of his work doesn't guarantee him that he'll relax more and enjoy right livelihood. When he's promoted, he'll have more work and this means that there'll be more responsibility. This will hinder him from enjoying right livelihood.

Option B and C are wrong as well as losing weight and getting in better shape and also de-emphasize the spiritual side of his life doesn't make one enjoy right livelihood.

Option D is the correct answer as he should make a conscious choice to attain the right livelihood and have enough rest that he desires.

Using this formula

Earnings per Share=Earnings after Taxes/Shares Outstanding

Earnings after Taxes/Shares Outstanding

385,280 / 333,000 = $1.15

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The break-even point in sales dollars is: C. $32,000

Explanation:

The break-even point sales dollars is calculated by using following formula:

Break-even point in sales dollars = Fixed cost/Contribution margin ratio = $24,000/0.75 = $32,000

I am considering buying a new sports car like a Ford Mustang. Another sports car that would not likely compete head-to-head like
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Brand Competition

Explanation:

Brand Competition arises when two or more different companies offer a similar product, under a different brand. The products are similar, but not fully substitutes: they can be distinguished in some way: quality, features, price, and so on.

In this case, what makes the Ford Mustang and the Audi R8 is the price. The Ford brand is significantly cheaper than the Audi brand, which might give Ford the upper hand in market share. However, this is not always the case because the Audi car could have the upper hand when it comes to quality, and obtain more marke share because of that.

1. For a firm in a perfectly competitive market, the price of the good is always
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

A). equal to marginal revenue.

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

Price = marginal revenue = average revenue
