Antitrust laws prevent monopolies.
<span>A monopoly is a company or business that dominates a particular market to such an extent that there is no viable competition to that company. </span>

Answer:
d.) discretionary expenses
Explanation:
We can explain going further into what is each item.
<u>A and B are your income </u>(for this question don’t sweat about the difference between gross and realized). They will constitute all the money you have in that period (the period will depend on the regularity of your income, it could be weekly, monthly, etc.).
Your fixed expenses are the things you will expend money on which, no matter what happens, will not change (it could be your rent, tax, health insurance, etc.).
Discretionary expenses, however, are costs that are things that you WANT, not NEED. It could go anywhere from a new shoe to a new boat (if you´re feeling rich, that is lol). That kind of expense will impact your available money (hey, nothing is free) but is not part of your budget as it is not a planned cost.
However, is important to note that if you wanna be super Monica Geller with your money you should forecast your discretionary expenses. Using your history as a base for calculating will eliminate most of the margin error.
Answer:
2,060 units
Explanation:
As we know thestock policy of the firm is the ending inventory for each month should be the 30 % of the next month's sales
In the case of february, following this policy:
- Starting inventory: is the same of ending inventory of the previous month: 0,3*2,000 (February´s sales) units= 600 units.
- Ending inventory= 0,3*2,200 (March´s sales) units= 660 units
Also, Ending Inventory (EI) is the result of the sum of Starting Inventory (SI) and February Purchases (P) minus February Sales (S)
We want to know P ( units Purchased), so:
P= EI-SI+S= 660-600+2,000=2060 units
Answer:
$157,440 ; $230,400
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For 2018
= Number of employees × number of vacations in a year × number of hours per day × wages per hour
= 80 employees × 12 days × 8 hours × $20.50
=$157,440
For 2021
= Number of employees × number of vacations in a year + number of vacations in a year - average of vacations × number of hours per day × wages per hour
= 80 employees × 12 days + 12 days - 9 days × 8 hours × $24
= $230,400
