industrial organization economics determine forces that are responsible for competitive intensity. The forces are;
✓potential new market entrants

Answer:
The expected value of the car you will buy is $22,000
Explanation:
In the given question, the car values are symmetrically distributed which means that we have to compute the mean between the values that are mentioned in the question.
So, the mean is an average of the numbers, the computation is shown below:
= (Value 1 + value 2) ÷ (number of observations)
= ($20,000 + $24,000) ÷ 2
= $22,000
Answer:
$34.63.
Explanation:
The Gordon Dividend Discount Model will be used to calculate the current share price. This model helps us to determine how much should we pay for a stock and the analysis is based on dividends, growth rate, and our required rate of return. The model is as follows:
![Po = D1 / (1 + r )^1 + D2 / (1 + r )^2 + D3 / (1 + r )^3 + D4 / (1 + r )^4 + D5 / (1 + r )^5 + D6 / (1 + r )^6 + [(D7 / r - g) / (1 + r)^6]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Po%20%3D%20D1%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%20%29%5E1%20%2B%20D2%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%20%29%5E2%20%2B%20D3%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%20%29%5E3%20%2B%20D4%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%20%29%5E4%20%2B%20D5%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%20%29%5E5%20%2B%20D6%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%20%29%5E6%20%2B%20%5B%28D7%20%2F%20r%20-%20g%29%20%2F%20%281%20%2B%20r%29%5E6%5D)
where
Po = Current market Price
D1 = Dividend Paid * (1 + g)
D2 = D1 (1 + g) ; D3 = D2 (1 + g) ; D4 = D3 (1 + g) ; D5 = D4 (1 + g)
D6 = D5 (1 + g) ; D7 = D6 (1 + g)
This implies that:
![Po = 2.7507 / (1.15)^1 + 2.8552 / (1.15)^2 + 2.9637 / (1.15)^3 + 3.0763 / (1.13)^4 + 3.1932 / (1.13)^5 + 3.3146 / (1.13)^6 + [(3.4405/.11 - .038) / (1.13)^6]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Po%20%3D%202.7507%20%2F%20%281.15%29%5E1%20%2B%202.8552%20%2F%20%281.15%29%5E2%20%2B%202.9637%20%2F%20%281.15%29%5E3%20%2B%203.0763%20%2F%20%281.13%29%5E4%20%2B%203.1932%20%2F%20%281.13%29%5E5%20%2B%203.3146%20%2F%20%281.13%29%5E6%20%2B%20%5B%283.4405%2F.11%20-%20.038%29%20%2F%20%281.13%29%5E6%5D)
⇒ Current Market Price = $34.63.

Answer:
a. greater than average total cost.
Explanation:
<u><em>Average total cost</em></u> is the cost of a unit output of goods that is being produced. Total Cost is the addition of all the cost of production which include total fixed cost and the total variable cost. Average Total cost is equal to total cost divided by total number of output.
<u><em>Marginal Cost</em></u> This is the change in the opportunity cost when an additional unit is added for production,<em> it is the cost of producing one additional unit of goods.</em>
Therefore, when the average cost of production is increasing, the marginal cost is greater than average cost, and when the average cost is decreasing the marginal cost is less than average cost. Also when the average cost is neither increasing nor decreasing, the marginal cost will be equal to average cost.
