Answer:
Misappropriation refers to the use of another person's intellectual property including their name or likeness without prior permission from the person which can then cause harm to that person.
This is indeed an example of misappropriation because the company tried to use Bette's likeness in the commercial. After being rebuffed by Bette saying that she does not do commercials for whatever business or personal reasons known to her, they still sought to use her popularity and image to make their products more popular.
To do so they hired a backup singer and told her to sing as much like Bette as she could so much so that even Bette's close acquaintances thought that it was Bette. If her close acquaintances could think it was her, imagine the general public.
They therefore made it seem as though Bette did their commercial which then would mean that Bette does in fact do commercials which would do damage her assertion that she does not do same. This would bring harm to her business relationships if for instance she had rebuffed other companies in the past when they sought her to do their commercials.
This is a case of Misappropriation and Bette should sue.
Answer:
a.Payment for meals
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is referred to as the next best alternative.
Opportunity cost means the benefits foregone of the non chosen alternative when an alternative is chosen from the available set of options which includes the non chosen option.
For e.g storage of money at home has an opportunity cost in the form of loss of interest had the same money been invested elsewhere apart from assuming the risk of loss of theft.
In the given case, the opportunity cost of being a full time student at a university instead of working full time at a job includes the opportunity cost in the form of income from that full time job in addition to specific expenses incurred for being a full time student such as Payment for tuition, Payment for books.
Thus, payment for meals represents a common cost which would've been incurred anyway irrespective of whether one attends full time college or does a full time job.

Answer:
The correct answer is: legal barriers.
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure where there is only a single firm, there is a restriction on the entry of firms. This gives firms a certain degree of market power.
The monopolies are able to retain their market power through restrictions on the entry of other potential firms. These restrictions are of different types such as exclusive ownership of a resource, legal barriers, increasing returns to scale.
In this particular scenario of patents, the barrier to entry is a legal barrier. The other potential firms are legally restricted to enter the market as they do not hold a patent.
