Answer:

Predatory pricing.

Explanation:

Predatory pricing is a strategy that is used by firms to gain customers, create barrier of entry from a market, or to drive competition out of the market. The firm prices it's products very low so that competitors cannot afford to sell at the same price.

1. What are chain restaurants?
Brilliant_brown [7]

1. Chain restaurants are restaurants that operate as a group. Typically, the concept, design,menu,and name of the restaurant will be the same at all of the restaurants within the group.

2. Celebrity restaurants are owned by notable public figures. Some of these  estaurants are owned by chefs such as Wolfgang Puck and Gordon Ramsay, but others are owned by celebrities from areas other than culinary arts.

3. Managed services are catering or food service providers who operate in sites other than restaurants.

4. Forecasting involves estimating the restaurant's profits and expenses for a specific period of time. First, forecasting allows the restaurant to assess their viability for that period of time. Second, forecasting allows a restaurant to estimate the amount of food and other supplies that it will need to have on hand at particular times. Finally, forecastasting lets a restaurant know the number of staff that it will need to have to serve guests and handle restaurant operations.

5. Fine dining restaurants are usually characterized as those serving cooked to order dishes that are made from scratch with fresh ingredients. We typically think of fine dining restaurants as serving elegant food prepared by chefs with a great deal of expertise and training which is the opposite of most lower class restaurants.

Critical Thinking:

1. Managed services are usually given to people to go or catered to a location whereas a restaurant has one location where people sit to eat one meal. Managed services cook their food in mass portions for large groups of people but restaurants cook meals to  order.

2. Menus are important to restaurants because they give a general appeal to the guests and also they include the base information for the products that they're selling. If a restaurant doesn't have a detailed, accurate, appealing menu then they probably wouldn't sell products as efficiently.

3. You need a clean working space,correct utensils and supplies, educated and hardworking employees,and fresh product.

4. If your kitchen design is all whack, your product will not come out in a timely sequence and everything will be backed up. The products then come out low quality and the guests are not satisfied. With a good design, everything will run smoothly and each dish will have an equal amount of time spent on them. The quality will be better therefor creating a  happy guest.

5. The back of the house doesn't communicate with guests while the front of the house is always communicating with guests on a regular basis. The back of the house puts the food together while the front of the house doesn't usually worry about the food at all.  There are also more employees in the front of the house than there is for the back of the house.

forsale [732]

Answer:

(1) understated

(2) understaded

(3) unchanged

Explanation:

The amount of equivalent units will be higher as the ending inventory of work in process will be above of what it should be.

As we have more equivalent untis the cost per equivalent unit will be lower:

\frac{cost}{equivalent \:units}

So both, conversion cost and total cost per equivalent untis will e lower than it should be as are getting divided over a larger amount.

the physical amount of units worked during the month and those which are complete will not be affected as the percentage of completion is an accounting tool to calculate the cost not to count the amount of units in possession

Elza [17]

Answer: (d) liability - refundable deposits.

Holding other factors constant, if bad weather destroys the annual crop for carrots, it causes the supply curve for carrots to
Iteru [2.4K]

Options:

<em>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</em>

<em>b. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to fall</em>

<em>c. Stay the same</em>

<em>d. The supply curve does not shift. Only the demand curve shifts.</em>

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Indeed, going by the law of supply and holding all other factors constant, we would expect the supply curve to shift to the left, which implies that there would be an increase in the price of carrots.

What this means is that because there are now fewer carrots in the market as a result of the effects of the bad weather, there would be scarcity and so sellers would increase prices.
