Which of the following is LEAST likely to be a reason for firms to form a cartel?

Business
1 answer:
GalinKa [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": to raise competition among firms in the cartel.

Explanation:

A cartel is a group of companies or countries working together to regulate the price of a single product they produce in common. The cartel makes it impossible for a foreign business to enter the market and demand lower prices. Cartels are, in most cases, not helpful to customers. They generate high prices that remain unchanged until consumers find alternative ways to purchase the same items.

Under such a scenario,<em> cartels are unlikely to be formed to generate more competition among the companies that compose them.</em>

Paul [167]

Answer:

the answer for the first question is $166667.

the answer for the second question is $210526

the answer for the third question is An inverse.

Explanation:

given information that i will invest in a $10000 scholarship that will pay forever.

the interest rate charged is 6.00% per annum therefore this is a perpetuity present value problem where there is streams of income forever therefore we use the formula :

Pv of perpetuity= Cf/r

where Cr is the cash flows payed by the single investment forever in this case $10000 then r is the interest rate of the investment amount which is 6% in this case.

Pv of Perpetuity= $10000/6%

                           =$166667 therefore i must invest this amount to get the scholarship running with streams of $10000 forever.

in the second problem if now the interest rate is changed from 6% to 4.75% then the amount to be invested would be :

Pv of perpetuity = $10000/4.75%

                              =$210526 therefore this is the amount to be invested for a forever $10000 stream of incomes for a scholarship.

the relationship is indirect cause as the interest rate decreases the present value of the perpetuity that must be invested increases.

pychu [463]

Answer:

Increase in income= $2,965.6

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Gruden Company produces golf discs which it normally sells to retailers for $7 each. The cost of manufacturing 23,600 golf discs is:

Materials $ 12,036

Labor 35,400

Variable overhead 23,128

Fixed overhead 47,200

Total $117,764

McGee Corporation offers Gruden $4.91 per disc for 4,930 discs. If Gruden accepts the offer, its fixed overhead will increase from $47,200 to $53,700 due to the purchase of a new imprinting machine.

Total variable cost= (12,036 + 35,400 + 23,128)= 70,564

Unitary variable cost= 70,564/23,600= $2.99

Increase in fixed costs= $6,500

Increase in income= (4930*4.91) - (4930*2.99) - 6500= $2,965.6

Premium for 3 years = $2,700

So, premium for 1 year = $2,700 ÷ 3 = $900 per year

Manufacturing operation percentage = 80%

Selling and administrative operation percentage = 20%

So, Premium for manufacturing operation = $900 × 80% = $720

And Premium for selling and admin operation = $900 × 20% = $180

11111nata11111 [884]

Find the answers in the explanation below

Explanation:

Cash dividend: Cash dividend is dividend that is paid in cash to shareholders in the event that the company or firm does not need the money for any kind of operation. This means that the company is giving economic value to its shareholders. This transfer of economic value to shareholder means that the shares price of the company will drop. An example is a company having a share dividend of 5%. That means that the price of the company shares will fall by 5%.

Stock dividend: Stock dividend unlike cash dividend is increase stock dividend as well as help stockholders to avoid tax. This subsequently does not increase the value of the company. For example, if stock dividend of a company is 5% and as much as 1 million shares, when stock dividends are declared the stockholder gets extra of 50,000 shares. The stock holder can either keep the shares or sell it to create his own
