In the dental industry, light-activated adhesives have been used for decades to help adhere braces to teeth as well as being used in other dental procedures. These adhesives are one-part translucent polymers that cure and harden when exposed to specific light spectrum. Many of these took up to 30 seconds to cure. New technology brings LED blue light curing which uses blue LED with UV light to cure and harden a light-activated adhesive in 3-5 seconds. Which result below would NOT be an advantage of this new technology?<u> A)There is a higher up-front expense.</u> B)Could be used in other areas such as sealing cracked pipes. C)No filters or cooling fan required due to quick curing and low heat emission. D)There is a major time savings when using the faster high–intensity curing lights.

Explanation:
A vertical merger is when two or more companies merge and are involved at different stages in the supply chain process for a common good or service. The merger is purposed to increase synchronism, gain more control of the supply chain process, and increase business. Also, it often results in reduced costs and increased productivity and efficiency.
A good example of a vertical merger is a auto manufacturer purchasing a tire company. A vertical merger of this sort reduces the cost of tires for the automaker and creates the possibility for expansion of its business by allowing it to supply tires to competing automakers.
