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, cartels are unlikely to be formed to generate more competition among the companies that compose them.

In the figure below, ∆LMN is an equilateral triangle, side \overline {LM} LM is bisected by O, side \overline {LN} LM is bisecte

likoan [24]

Based on the calculations, the measure of angle PON (∠PON) in equilateral triangle LMN is equal to 30°.

<h3>What is an equilateral triangle?</h3>

An equilateral triangle can be defined as a special type of triangle that has equal side lengths and all of its three (3) interior angles are equal.

Since triangle LMN is an equilateral triangle, the following applies:

LN = LM = MN

∠LNM = ∠L = ∠LM = 60°

OP // MN (O and P are midpoint).

∠NPO = 90° + (90° - 60°) = 120°

∠PNO = ∠LNP/2 = 60/2 = 30°.

Therefore, ∠PON is given by:

∠PON = 180° - (∠PNO + ∠NPO)

∠PON = 180° - (30° + 120°)

∠PON = 180° - 150°

∠PON = 30°

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

$20,226

Explanation:

expected sales = 11,400 - 12,000 - 12,600

expected sales price = $7.20 - $7.50 - $7.80

expected variable cost = $3.072 - $3.20 - $3.328

total fixed costs = $31,000

if you use an excel spreadsheet you can calculate all the different possible simulations and combine all the expected sales x 3 different price levels x 3 different variable costs and 1 fixed cost. Once you get all the 27 possible solutions, you just get the average.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Margin of safety= $12,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Moe's Pizza Shop sells a large pizza for $12.00. Unit variable expenses total $8.00. The breakeven sales in units are 7,000 and budgeted sales in units are 8,000

To calculate the margin of safety in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= (8,000*12) - (7,000*12)= $12,000

Cherokee Inc. is a merchandiser that provided the following information: Number of units sold 14,000 Selling price per unit $ 16

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory

COGS= 12,000 + 87,000 - 23,000

COGS= $76,000

Traditional format income statement:

Sales= 14,000*16= 224,000

COGS= (76,000)

Gross profit= 148,000

Total selling expense= (20,000 + 14,000*1)= (34,000)

Total administrative expense= (13,000 + 14,000*1)= (27,000)

Net operating income= 87,000

Contribution format income statement:

Sales= 14,000*16= 224,000

Total variable cost= (76,000 + 14,000 + 14,000)= (104,000)

Contribution margin= 120,000

Total fixed selling expense= (20,000)

Total fixed administrative expense= (13,000)

Net operating income= 87,000

If inflation in the U.S. is projected at 3% annually for the next 5years and at 7% annually in Turkey for the same time period,

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

6.86011 Turkish liras per US dollar

Explanation:

US's inflation 3% for the next 3 years

Turkey's inflation 7% for the next 3 years

current Lira/Dollar spot rate (L/$) = 5.6702 (liras per dollar)

inflation rate US = (1 + 0.03)⁵ = 1.159274
inflation rate Turkey = (1 + 0.07)⁵ = 1.402552

difference = 1.402552 / 1.159274 = 1.20985 x current spot rate = 1.20985 x 5.6702 = 6.86011

Since the Turkish inflation rate is higher than the American inflation rate, then the Turkish lira will depreciate faster than the US dollar.
