Answer:

D.

Explanation:

This test mainly involves determining whether conditions in the target industry are sufficiently attractive to permit earning consistently good profits and returns on investment, most notably that the profits and ROI are equal to or better than that of the company's present businesses. Therefore evaluating if diversifying into such an industry is even worth the risk for the investor's portfolio.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

<u>No</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember, </em>in business law, as long as both parties did not sign a contractual document, the purchase is not legal.

In this case, it could be observed that Ganze only "mailed an acceptance" not a signed document between both parties agreeing on the purchase of her antique car.

Also, the fact that she quickly sent a telegram letting  Archer know that she is rejecting the offer, shows that she acted in good fate to withdraw her acceptance on time.

Faux Trees Company produces artificial Christmas trees. A local shopping mall recently made a special order offer; the shopping
Arlecino [84]

Answer: $‭16,925.9‬0 increase

Explanation:

Company already has the excess capacity to handle this order so the fixed costs will not be included as they would have already been incurred.

Cost of manufacturing the trees would be:

= Variable cost + Fixed cost

= ((51.61 + 3.80 + 1.00 + 8.26 for white tree) * 230 trees) + 5,000 for molds

= (64.67 * 230) + 5,000

= $‭19,874.1‬0

Incremental revenue = 230 trees * 160

= $36,800

Incremental operating income = 36,800 - ‭19,874.1‬

= $‭16,925.9‬0 increase

Suppose there are only three firms in a market. The largest firm has sales of $500 million, the second-largest has sales of $300
belka [17]

Answer:

50% share.

Explanation:

Given:

There are only three firms in a market.

The largest firm has sales of $500 million.

The second-largest has sales of $300 million.

The smallest has sales of $200 million.

Question asked:

The market share of the largest firm is ?

Solution:

As we know:

Market\ share=\frac{Total\ sales\ of\ the\ firm}{Total\ sales\ of\ the \ market} \times100

Total sales of the largest company = $500 million.

Total sales of the market = Sales of largest firm + Sales of second largest firm+ Sales of smallest firm

Total sales of the market = $500 million + $300 million + $200 million

                                          = $1000 million

Market\ share=\frac{Total\ sales\ of\ the\ firm}{Total\ sales\ of\ the \ market} \times100

                       =\frac{500}{1000} \times100\\ \\ =\frac{50000}{1000} \\ \\ =50\%

Therefore, the market share of the largest firm is 50%.

While eating at Alex’s "Pizza by the Slice" restaurant, Clara experiences diminishing marginal utility. She received 10 utils fr
klemol [59]

Answer:

Alex may have to lower the price to convince Clara to buy a second slice.

Explanation:

Marginal utility is an economic concept that says that a consumer recieves more marginal utility in the first consumption of a good or services than in the second and the subsequents. In fact with each consumption the marginal utility reduces, this effect is known as diminishing marginal utility.

One of the the methods to reduce the effects of the diminishing marginal utility is to reduces prices. As the utility of a product decreases as its consumption increases, consumers are willing to pay smaller amount of money for more of the product.

A jewelry store has a discount for customers who purchase multiple pairs of earrings: after paying full price for one pair of ea
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Correct Statement is D

Explanation:

Provided information,

The Jewelry Store sells pair of earrings, where the discount is of 15% on the price of second pair.

This states that the consumer will always be willing to pay the cost of first pair in full, whenever the customer buys such pair, whether alone or with some additional pair.

Thus the willingness to pay for any pair after purchase of first pair of earrings will always be less than the cost of first pair, as the amount paid for first pair is $40 and that for second pair costing $40 but purchased for $34 as because there was discount on second pair.

In the given case John purchased the second pair because there was discount, else John has bought the same pair for $40.

Thus his willingness for second pair is always lower than the price of first pair.

Correct Statement is D
