Answer:

A. The travel industry changed from a consolidated structure to a fragmented one.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the speaker talks of the change in the way travels are managed. Initially, few large travel agencies took control of the way travel is arranged, from booking tickets to managing hotel rooms.

But as the internet grew and many people are able to access it, travels, accommodations, etc. are being managed by the individuals themselves or even smaller travel agencies are able to do the work without the need for such large companies to be involved.

This shows that the travel industry changed from a consolidated, large companies structure to a fragmented one, that of smaller agencies and even individuals themselves.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

The market that characterizes the industry in which Forey competes is a market where competition is at its greatest possible level and it is a perfectly competitive market and the reason is because its returns decrease with the entering of new firms, also four-firm concentration ratio and Herfindahl Hirschman index are both quite small, so no one has significant market power to set or even influence the market price. In the short-run Forey Inc’s profit will decrease as more and more new firms enter the market and in the long-run Forey Inc will receive only normal (zero) economic profit.

The table below contains data for the country of batterland, which produces only waffles and pancakes. the base year is 2013 . p
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Firstly, you should calculate the prices of your market basket, which basically means multiply all the goods with their prices and then add them together in their respective years. This would give you $260, $440, $690 and $1200 in the years 2010 to 2013 respectively. (follow along by noting everything down)

We see that the base year is 2013, therefore if we want to calculate the inflation rate from 2010 to 2011, we have to calculate their price indices. We do this by dividing the maket basket of our chosen years by the market basket of the base year, therefore the price index of 2010 is $260/$1200, giving us 21.6. The price index of 2011 would be $440/$1200, giving us 36.6. To calculate the inflation rate, you find the difference between your two price indices and divide it by the former year, which would be 36.6 - 21.6 / 21.6 x 100, giving us the inflation rate of 69.2%.

Answer:

FV $4,594,590

Explanation:

The annuity which produce funds will start on the seventh year thereofre there will be 4 annual deposits at the beginning of each year.

We solve for the future value of an annuity-due of 4 year at 10% interest rate:

C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate}(1+r) = FV\\

C 900,000.00

time 4

rate 0.1

900000 \times \frac{(1+0.1)^{4} -1}{0.1}(1+0.1) = FV\\

FV $4,594,590

This is the amount accumualted at the end of the tenth year
