Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

Market power can be defined as the ability of a firm or a group of firms to increase the price above the competitive level and do not lose all the demand.

The firms in a perfectly competitive market have no market power because there are a number of firms in the market. If a firm increases the price, its demand will fall to zero.

In imperfect competition though, the firms enjoy a certain degree of market power.

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The correct option is B,$6,710 million

Explanation:

First and foremost,one needs to be aware that net operating profit margin(NOPM) of 3.6% was computed  by dividing operating profit after tax by  the total revenue for 2016,hence we use same formula to determine the net operating profit after tax for 2017 by merely changing the subject of the formula.

NOPM=net operating profit after/total revenue

net operating profit after tax=NOPM*total revenue

NOPM remains at 3.6%

total revenue for 2017=total revenue for 2016*(1+growth rate)

total revenue for 2016 is $177,526 million

growth rate is 5%

total revenue for 2017= $177,526*(1+5%)=$ 186,402.30  million

Net operating profit after tax= 186,402.30 *3.6%=$ 6,710.48  million

Approximately $6710 million
