Answer:
c as price increases, quantity demanded decreases.
Explanation:
The law of demand states that the higher the price of an item, the lower the quantity demanded of that good. While the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
This shows an inverse relationship. As the price of a commodity increases from a former price to a new price, the consumers of that commodity would purchase less of it. But if the reverse is the case, that is price is lowered, consumers would purchase more quantity of the commodity.
Answer:
Disintermediation
Explanation:
Disintermediation is the removal of intermediaries in economics from a supply chain, or "cutting out the middlemen" in connection with a transaction or a series of transactions. Instead of going through traditional distribution channels, which had some type of intermediary (such as a distributor, wholesaler, broker, or agent), companies may now deal with customers directly, for example via the Internet.
Disintermediation may decrease the total cost of servicing customers and may allow the manufacturer to increase profit margins and/or reduce prices. Disintermediation initiated by consumers is often the result of high market transparency, in that buyers are aware of supply prices direct from the manufacturer. Buyers may choose to bypass the middlemen (wholesalers and retailers) to buy directly from the manufacturer, and pay less. Buyers can alternatively elect to purchase from wholesalers. Often, a business-to-consumer electronic commerce (B2C) company functions as the bridge between buyer and manufacturer.
However manufacturers will still incur distribution costs, such as the physical transport of goods, packaging in small units, advertising, and customer helplines, some or all of which would previously have been borne by the intermediary. To illustrate, a typical B2C supply chain is composed of four or five entities. These are the supplier, manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer and buyer.
Answer:
d. An issuer's prospectus
Explanation:
The answer will be option D as we know that a prospectus is considered to be a disclosure document, not advertising. It is intended to provide full and fair disclosure of all of the material facts about a new issue that an investor would want to know. It is the formal legal offer of a new issue. It must not contain sales or promotional claims. Prospectuses filed with the SEC are not subject to the FINRA rules on communications with the public, including the content standards. Choice B is the definition of "retail communications" which includes advertising. Choices A and C are electronic examples of advertising.
B option is basically suitable. .
