For each of the situations described, determine whether the firms involved are part of a cartel or are simply colluding.
(A) Landscaping company owners in a county hold an annual meeting at a hotel. There, owners make contact with industry leaders, share cost-saving ideas, and set minimum prices for services in the coming year. Owners who set prices below these minimums are not invited to next year's meeting.
Landscaping company owners who attend the meeting:

a) have formed a cartel.
b) are engaged in collusion but are not part of a cartel.
c) are acting competitively.

(B) Most hot dog carts in a city sell hot dogs for $3.00 each. Each stand makes comparable products, but each is independently owned and operated. The marginal cost of selling hot dogs on the street is around $1.00, but owners have maintained the $3.00 price point for several years. The cart owners are not in regular contact.
Hot dog vendors in this city:

a) are acting competitively since they cannot change the going price of hot dogs.
b) are colluding with one another but not as part of a cartel.
c) have formed a cartel.

(C) Three friends start a bakery in the east side of a city. There is a higher demand for baked goods on the west side of the city, but the bakery owners refrain from expanding there due to a large number of well-established bakeries already there.
The east side bakery owners are:

a) colluding with the well-established bakeries on the west side of the city.
b) acting competitively by avoiding a poor business decision.
c) responding to cartel pressure to stay in their own territory.

(D) A city has two major nut vending companies. L. M. Nutz operates roasted nut carts on the north side of the city, while Go Go Nuts operates carts on the south side of the city. Both companies operate at high margins and have a robust distribution infrastructure that would allow them to operate city wide, but each company operates exclusively on its end of town.
L. M. Nutz and Go Go Nuts:

a) collude with one another to maintain market power in their respective areas.
b) are acting competitively, entering the other company's market will likely start an unprofitable price war.
c) have formed a roasted nut cartel.

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.

My first question is what benefits do you expect to achieve from career exploration? the benefits that i expect to achieve from career exploration. for me i think the benefits of exploring many different careers are that you get exposed to more, so it's easier for you to pick which one you like best. another benefit is that you get a more first hand view of what jobs are more likely to be needed in the future and that can be factored into your consideration. my second question is what do you expect to be the most challenging parts of your career planning process? why? the most challenging parts of my career planning process is trying to get things in order and trying to write this paragraph it is confusing and, hard work. and last but not least my third question is i think the most challenging part is taking the first step and really deciding on a career you want to pursue; there are so many options and it can be hard to choose.which jobs will allow me to make a living? ; what skills does emergency medical technician emergency medical services medical » physiology require?

(05.04 mc) a 2012 report from the u. s. surgeon general stated: "another common practice is strategically locating tobacco-related marketing materials where young children will be exposed to them. tobacco industry executives acknowledge that products and advertising should be placed at eye level (pollay 2007), but in california, 48% of stores had at least one cigarette marketing item at or below 3 feet from the floor (feighery et al. 2001)." it was also noted that 25% of cigarette displays were next to candy. in addition, a national study found that about one-third of the stores had tobacco ads at low heights. after california banned counter displays, some stores place cigarettes in transparent displays so product brands could still be seen. why did some stores use transparent units to display the cigarettes? (3 points) to comply with the new rules while still encouraging cigarette purchases via visual exposure to ensure children and minors are not exposed to cigarettes and their eye-catching packaging to minimize exposure to humidity, extending the shelf life of the cigarettes' tobacco to reduce the occurrence of shoplifting, since cigarettes are high-revenue items
