Answer:

  • Threat of Substitutes
  • Threat of New entrants/ Competitors

Explanation:

This question relates to Porter's five forces.

A patent on a good protects that good from being able to be copied or produced by other companies.

Should a company lose this protection, companies will be allowed to make substitutes to the products without running afoul of the law. The company will therefore face an increased threat from Substitutes.

Other companies will also be able to produce the goods or offer the services now which would mean that new entrants/ competitors can come into the market for that good or service.

NISA [10]

Answer:

The estimated fixed cost element of power costs is $10,000

Explanation:

For computing the fixed cost first we have to calculate the variable cost per unit which is shown below:

= (High power cost -  low power cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)

= ($22,000 - $15,000) ÷ (12,000 - 5,000)

= $7,000 ÷ 7,000

= $1

Now the fixed cost would be

= (High power cost) - (high machine hours × variable cost per unit)

= $22,000 - 12,000 × $1

= $22,000 - $12,000

= $10,000
