why have oligopoly tech firms ( microsoft, apple) with near monopolies in their own sectors sought to compete with tech firms that have extremely strong, near monopoly positions in other sectors. Does this defy game theory or support it? Explain

Mikes Pizza Parlor chains operates restaurants located in a five state area. The most successful locations for Mike’s Pizza Parlor are near college campuses. The managers believe that quarterly sales for these restaurants are related positively to the size of the student population. In other words, restaurants located near campuses with a large population tend to generate more sales than those located near campuses with smaller populations. Using regression analysis, what is the dependent and independent variable to use? Explain. Then, provide a separate example on your own.

1. The mass of Earth is 5.972 * 10²⁴ kg, and the radius of Earth is 6,371 km. The mass of the moon is 7.348 * 10²² kg, and the radius of the moon is 1,737 km. The centers of the Earth and the moon are separated by 384,400 km.

2. (3A) What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration (in m/s²) due to the moon at the near-side surface of Earth? (Hint: The correct answer is between 0.000001 and 5).
3. (3B) How does the gravitational acceleration due to the moon at the near-side surface of Earth compare to the gravitational acceleration due to Earth at the surface of Earth (i.e., what value is g_{moon at surface of Earth} / g_{Earth at surface of Earth})?
4. (3C) What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration (in m/s²) due to the moon at the surface of the moon? (Hint: The correct answer is between 0.1 and 50).
5. (3D) What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration (in m/s²) due to Earth at the near-side surface of the moon? (Hint: The correct answer is between 0.0001 and 5).
6. (3E) How does the gravitational acceleration due to Earth at the near-side surface of the moon compare to the gravitational acceleration due to the moon at the surface of the moon (i.e., what value is g_{Earth at surface of moon} / g_{moon at surface of moon})? (Hint: The correct answer is between 0.00001 and 5).
7. (3F) Which force is stronger, the gravitational force due to the moon at the near-side surface of Earth, or the gravitational force due to Earth at the near-side surface of the moon?

Rajab has a bookstore near a sea shore, which is insured for €150,000 under a commercial property insurance policy. The policy contains an 80 percent coinsurance clause. Rajab’s bookstore suffered a loss worth €100,000 due to tsunami. If the replacement cost of the bookstore at the time of loss is €250,000, how much will he collect from his insurer? Rajab will collect €Answer for the loss from his insurer.

Company Z had the following transactions in its first year of operations:

(1) On January 15, purchased 5,000 units of inventory for $20 each

(2) On March 1, purchased 10,000 units of inventory for $22 each

(3) On March 30, sold 7,000 units of inventory for $48 each

(4) On June 20, purchased 9,000 units of inventory for $25 each

(5) On August 10, sold 12,000 units of inventory for $50 each

(6) On September 3, sold 1,000 units of inventory $49 each

Company Z records transactions using a perpetual system. Calculate the cost of goods sold and ending inventory using (1) average cost, (2) FIFO, and (3) LIFO.

Company Z asks you to advise them on which inventory method to use. What method would you choose if the company wants to take out a loan from a bank in the near future that requires the company to meet a large threshold for its current assets’ value? What method would you choose if the company has a near-term investment opportunity that requires more cash on hand? Explain your answers.

The following linear regression model can be used to predict ticket sales at a popular water park (the correlation is significant).

Ticket sales per hour = -631.25 + 11.25(current temperature in °F)

Choose the statement that best reflects the meaning of the slope in this context.

Group of answer choices

The slope is slippery.

The slope tells us that a one degree increase in temperature is associated with an average increase in ticket sales of 11.25 tickets.

The slope tells us that if ticket sales are decreasing there must have been a drop in temperature.

The slope tells us that high temperatures are causing more people to buy tickets to the water park.
