how can an oligopoly cause market failure​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Inefficiency, instability and indeterminacy brought about by oligopoly may result in a market crash. The firm's supremacy is established as the capacity is established more and more, but little is produced in order to create artificial barrier to entry.

Explanation:

The promise of bigger profits gives oligopolists an incentive to cooperate. However, collusive oligopoly is inherently unstable, because the most efficient firms will be tempted to break ranks by cutting prices in order to increase market share.

Answer 2

Oligopoly causes market failure​  when the whole market is controlled by the suppliers by managing the prices of goods and services.

What is oligopoly?

Small numbers of suppliers control markets in an oligopoly. It is generally referred to as competitiveness among a small number of people and is a type of imperfect competition.

Because of this interconnection, market participants in an oligopolistic environment are not able to act independently of one another. As a result, these firms must determine whether to raise, drop, or keep a fixed price.

In an oligopoly, as there are few suppliers to decide the prices of goods and services which can lead to supply and demands of the goods sometimes, they can raise prices so high and sometimes too low depending on the factor of decision making.

1. Deirdre has one hour this afternoon in which she can either practice the piano for the upcoming school concert, work at
the library for $7 per hour, or babysit her neighbor's son for $10 per hour. Deirdre chooses to practice the piano, but
if she hadn't chosen to practice the piano, she would have chosen to babysit over working at the library. What is the
opportunity cost of Deirdre's decisions
A. The value gained from practicing the piano for an hour.
B. The value of babysitting her neighbor's son for an hour.
C. The value of working at the library for an hour.
D. The value of babysitting her neighbor's son and working at the library for an hour.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is B) The value of taking care of her neighbours son for 60 minutes.

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost belongs more in the parlance of microeconomics and is used to describe the idea that one cannot have everything all the time. There are alternative ends competing for limited means. In order words, when we decide to take a course of action, in the hope of achieving a thing or getting a reward, there is always another benefit forgone.

So knowing that there is an opportunity that was foregone helps the microeconomist to think carefully about what they want to achieve using the limited resources at their disposal.

Further simplified, if I have $5 dollars to spend, and that amount can purchase either a cupcake or a cup of ice cream, the one I chose to buy becomes the opportunity taken, whilst the alternative forgone is the opportunity cost.

Therefore, the cost of an item is not just the amount of money for which it was purchased, but all other alternatives with which the same amount could have been purchased.

In the question above, Deidre would have chosen to babysit her neighbor's son. That to her is the next best use of her time, and therefore the opportunity cost. According to the question, she wouldn't have worked in the library even if she had nothing else to do. Hence, that does not pass as opportunity cost.

Opportunity cost must be an alternative choice and is very subjective.

Edison's Lights makes light bulbs. The company is currently producing well below its full capacity. Lamp Land has approached Edison's Lights with an offer to buy 20,000 light bulbs at $0.75 each. Edison;s Lights sells its light bulbs wholesale for $0.85 each; the average cost per unit is $0.83, of which $0.12 is fixed costs. If Edison's Lights were to accept Lamp Land's offer, what would be the increase in Edison's Lights' operating profits?

Answers

Answer:

the increase in Edison's Lights' operating profits would be  $400

Explanation:

Analysis of the effects of Accepting Lamp Land's offer

Sales (20,000 x $0.75)                                   $15,000

Less Incremental Costs :

Variable Cost (20,000 x $0.73)                     ($14,600)

Operating Profit                                                    $400

thus

If Edison's Lights were to accept Lamp Land's offer, the increase in Edison's Lights' operating profits would be  $400

Based on the various costs to make the light bulb, Edison's lights would see an increase in operating profits of $800.

How would Edison's Lights see this profit?

The fixed costs would be the same throughout production so should be deducted:
= Average cost - fixed cost

= 0.83 - 0.12

= $0.71

The variable cost of making the bulb is $0.71 which means that the profit made on every bulb if sold at $0.75 would be:

= 0.75 - 0.71

= $0.04

The total profit would be:

= 20,000 bulbs x 0.04

= $800

Jennifer is saving up for the closing costs ($4250) and down payment on a home. For a better interest rate and savings on mortgage insurance, she must have a down payment of 10%. She can afford a monthly payment of $900 based on her current earnings and expenses. The amount available for the mortgage is reduced by an estimated $175 per month to cover home insurance and real estate taxes. The current nominal annual interest rate is 3% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage loan. How much of a loan can she afford

Answers

Answer:

The amount of Loan Jennifer can afford is $171,962.30.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value or the amount of Loan Jennifer can afford =?

P = Monthly payment for the mortgage = Monthly amount she can afford - Estimated monthly home insurance and real estate taxes = $900 - $175 = $725

r = Monthly nominal interest rate = Annual nominal interest / 12 = 3% / 12 = 0.03 / 12 = 0.0025

n = number of months = Number of years * 12 = 30 * 12 = 360

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $725 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0025))^360) / 0.0025)

PV = $725 * 237.189381504283

PV = $171,962.30

Therefore, the amount of Loan Jennifer can afford is $171,962.30.

Perdue Company purchased equipment on October 1 for $55,060. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 7,600 operating hours, and a residual value of $1,860. The equipment was used for 1,400 hours during Year 1, 2,700 hours in Year 2, 2,300 hours in Year 3, and 1,200 hours in Year 4.

Required:
Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) units-of-output method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method.

Answers

Answer:

$13,300 for each of the four years

Unit of output

$9800

$18900

$16100

$8400

double declining

27530

13765

6882.5

3441.25

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

( $55,060 - $1,860) / 4 = $13,300 each year

Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x  (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

( $55,060 - $1,860) / 7600 = 7

year 1 = 7 x 1400 = 9800

year 2 = 7 x 2700 = $18900

year 3 = 7 x 2300 = $16100

year 4 = 7 x 1200 = $8400

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/4 = 0.5

Year 1 = $55,060 x 0.5 = 27530

book value =  $55,060 - 27530 = 27530

year 2 = 27530 x 0.5 = 13765

book value = 27530 - 13765 =  13765

year 3 =  13765 x 0.5 = 6882.50

b. product-variety externality, which benefits consumers.
c. business-stealing externality, which harms consumers.
d. business-stealing externality, which benefits consumers.

Answers

Answer:

b

Explanation:

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants  

When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero

If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry.  This drives economic profit to zero

in the long run, only normal profit is earned

The product-variety externality: When new firms enter into an industry, competition drives price down. This increases consumer surplus. As a result, entry of firms into an industry results in a positive externality on consumers.  

The business-stealing externality: When a new firm enters into an industry, existing firms lose customers and profits fall. As a result, entry of a new firm results in a negative externality on existing firms.

What is the expected constant growth rate of dividends for a stock currently priced at Php 50, that is expected to pay a dividend of Php 5 next year, and has a required return of 20%?

Answers

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

Using the Gordon Growth Model, the price of a stock can be calculated as follows:

Price = Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)

Notice that we are provided with all the figures in the formula above except the growth rate so we can calculate the growth rate with these figures:

50 = 5 / (20% - growth rate)

50 * (20% - growth rate) = 5

20% - growth rate = 5 / 50

-growth rate = 10% - 20%

-Growth rate / -1 = -10% / -1

Growth rate = 10%

Group of answer choices 97.4310 69.1442 55.0125 79.4310 77.5181

Answers

Answer:

97.4310

Explanation:

Forward rate = Spot rate * (1 + Rate of inflation in India)/(1 + Rate of inflation in US)

Spot rate in 5 years = 73.2115 * (1+0.08)^5/(1+0.02)^5

Spot rate in 5 years = 73.2115 * (1.08)^5/(1.02)^5

Spot rate in 5 years = 73.2115 * (1.4693281/1.104081)

Spot rate in 5 years = 73.2115 * 1.330815493

Spot rate in 5 years = 97.4309984657695

Spot rate in 5 years = 97.4310

What are the four types of organization structures

Answers

Answer:

1. Functional

2. Divisional

3. Matrix

4. Flat

Explanation:

Have a nice day :)

Answer:

Four main organizational structure types are:

I. Functional

II. Divisional

III. Matrix

IV. Flat

Explanation:

I. Functional Structure:

Employees performing similar or similar tasks are grouped together in this structure. For example, the financial department consists of accountants, and the same is true in the departments of marketing, operations, and human resources. This structure makes quick decision-making possible because the members of the group have the same skills and interests to communicate easily and can improve their capacities by learning from each other.

II. Divisional Structure

This structure groups employee's by-products or projects that satisfy the requirements of a certain customer type. For example, a catering service restaurant could structure the staff in different departments, such as a wedding service or a department of wholesale retail services. Workers are divided in order to achieve maximum efficiency.

III Matrix Structure:

A matrix structure has a complex story structure since it combines both functional and divisional elements. It first divides employees by specialization, then divides them into departments by project and product. A lot of planning and effort is needed to make this structure but one e has increased the team's productivity, encourages innovation and creativity, and good decision-making.

IV Flat Structure:

The traditional top-down management system is prevented by a flat organizational structure. No concept of boss is in place, every employee is their own boss, eliminating bureaucracy and enhancing direct communication. An employee with an innovative idea or proposal, for example, does not contact every level of senior management in order for the manager to get the idea. The staff can communicate with each other directly at a peer level.

At the beginning of 2004, the Alaska Corporation had 2 million shares of common stock outstanding and no preferred stock. At the end of August, 2004, Alaska issued 600,000 new shares of common stock. If Alaska reported net income equal to $8.8 million, what was the firm's earnings per share for 2004

Answers

Answer:

$4

Explanation:

Earning per share (EPS) refers to earnings available to common shareholders which is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding equals the original 2 million shares plus 4/12 of the additional 600,000 shares.

The 4/12 weight is used because the new shares were only outstanding 4 months of the year.

Hence,

EPS = $8.8 million / [2 million + (4/12)(600,000)

EPS = $8.8 / $2.2

EPS = $4
