Answer:
1. Which Statement is true:
B. low p/e ratio could mean that the company has a great deal of uncertainty in its future earnings.
2. Qualitative analysis:
According to your understanding, a company with less competition is considered to be (more or less) risky than companies with a wide multiple competitors.
Explanation:
Company A's Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio is calculated as the market price of its shares divided by the earnings per share. It shows the value investors have over a stock. With a high P/E ratio, the company's stock could be over-valued, or investors are expecting high growth rates in the future. This is unlike a low P/E ratio that shows that the stock is undervalued or that investors are not expecting high growth rates in the future because of uncertainty.
Without competition, Company A is riskier than Company B which operates efficiently and competitively. There is that competitive edge that competitive companies possess. Monopolies do not enjoy that advantage. It is, therefore, riskier to have no competition.
The New Deal changed the role of government completely. Before the New Deal, government had essentially no role in steering the economy or in providing for the people. After the New Deal, the government has come to play a huge role in both of these things.
Before the New Deal, the government was expected to be more or less laissez-faire. It was supposed to just stay out of the way and let the economy rise or fall "naturally." If people were too old to work, they needed to rely on family. If a bank failed, its depositors were out of luck. The New Deal changed all of that.

Answer: A.
Explanation:
By definition, opportunity cost is the amount or value of something you gave up for another good.
For example: say you value sleeping in at $5 value going to class at $4. You decide to get up and go to class, the $4 value. Therefore, your opportunity cost is what you gave up (sleeping in) for another good/choice (going to class), is $5 since you valued sleeping in at that.
