Answer: The price level  chosen to maximize profits will be $ 6.71

Explanation:

Whenever there is price fixing between two competitors, and one of the competitor decides to choose a price level. Such competitor must ensure that the price level chosen to maximize profit does not exceed his or her competitor's marginal cost but can be  above his or her marginal cost .

Since the price fixing is $10 from previous cartel price so the best price level to maximize the profit would be less than my  rival's  price of   $ 6.72 and more than my  marginal cost of $ 6.70  which is $ 6.71

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

correct option is C. it's a good time to buy the wood.

Explanation:

given data

slab = 10 feet

cost Tee Time =  $5,000

$500 US dollars = $738 NZ dollars

solution

US $500 = NZ $738

$1 = NZ  $1.476

current exchange rate is $1 = NZ $1.476

so

10 foot slab costs $5000

so Tee Golf Resort will pay is

Tee Golf Resort pay = \frac{5000}{1.476}  

Tee Golf Resort pay = $3387.53

so correct option is C. it's a good time to buy the wood.

Answer:

Perception of detection

Explanation:

Perception of detection is defined as the belief that exists within an organisation that if a person commits fraud he will be exposed by other employees in the organisation quickly.

This can be achieved by various steps including:

- removal of avenues for fraud by thinking like a fraudster

- segregation of duties

- perform surprise audits

- having a hotline to report fraud

The installation of cameras by Jackson shop and publicising of this action led to a consistent fall in fraud because the employees had a perception that if they tried to commit fraud they would be detected by the cameras
