Answer:
The firm’s equity beta is therefore equal to 0.85.
Explanation:
Note: The data in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
The equity beta refers to a beta that considers different levels of debt of a firm. The equity beta is also known as the levered beta or the project beta. The equity beta is therefore different from the asset beta.
Asset beta refers to a beta does not consider debt and assume that the firm uses only equity financing. Asset beta is known as unlevered beta.
The Firm’s equity can be calculated using the following steps:
Step 1: Calculation of average unlevered beta of the firm
Unlevered beta = Levered beta / (1 + ((1 - Tax rate) * (Debt / Equity ratio))) ……… (1)
Where for UPS;
Levered beta = Beta E = Beta of Equity = 0.80
Tax rate = 0
Debt = Market value of debt = $5 billion
Equity = Market value of equity = Stock Price per share * Number of shares outstanding = $65 * 0.7 billion = $45.50 billion
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
UPS unlevered beta = 0.80 / (1 + ((1 - 0) * (5 / 45.50))) = 0.720792079207921 = 0.72
Where for FedEx;
Levered beta = Beta E = Beta of Equity = 1.10
Tax rate = 0
Debt = Market value of debt = $3 billion
Equity = Market value of equity = Stock Price per share * Number of shares outstanding = $55 * 250 million = $13.75 billion
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FedEx unlevered beta = 1.10 / (1 + ((1 - 0) * (3 / 13.75))) = 0.902985074626866 = 0.90
Therefore, firm’s averaged unlevered beta can be calculated as follows:
Firm’s averaged unlevered beta = (UPS unlevered beta + FedEx unlevered beta) / 2 = (0.72 + 0.90) / 2 = 0.81
Step 2: Calculation of firm’s levered beta
Firms’ levered beta = Firm’s averaged unlevered beta * (1 + ((1 - Tax rate) * (Debt / Equity ratio))) …….. (2)
Where;
Firm’s averaged unlevered beta = 0.81
Tax rate = 0
Debt = Market value of risk-free debt = $20 million
Equity = Market value of equity = $450 million
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Firms’ levered beta = 0.81 * (1 + ((1 - 0) * (20 / 450))) = 0.846 = 0.85
Since from the definitions above, the equity beta is also known as the levered beta, the firm’s equity beta is therefore equal to 0.85.
A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $12,600 to install and will have a useful life of 4 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. are expected to be $1,400. A new power line will cost $11,000 to install, with power costs expected to be $800 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 4 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. At an interest rate of 10% per year, which alternative should be selected on the basis of a future worth analysis?
Answer:
Since the total future worth of running an electric line of $19,353.42 is less than the total future worth of solar cells is $24,132.22, it implies that it will be cheaper to run an electric line than to use solar cells. Therefore, running an electric line should be selected.
Explanation:
The future worth analysis refers to an act of determining what the the worth of present amount of money or stream of money invested at an interest rate will after in some period or years to come.
To determine which one to select between solar cells and running an electric line, the we need to calculate the future worth of both and compared as follows:
a. Calculation of future value of solar cells
Calculation of future worth of $12,600 installation cost
FW of $12,600 = PW of $12,600 * (1 + r)^n ................ (1)
Where;
FW of $12,600 = Future worth of $12,600 installation cost = ?
PW of $12,600 = Present worth of $12,600 installation cost = $12,600
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
FW of $12,600 = $12,600 * (1 + 0.10)^4
FW of $12,600 = $12,600 * 1.4641
FW of $12,600 = $18,447.66
Calculation of future worth of annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. of $1,400
The future worth of annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. of $1,400 can also be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FW of $1,400 = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)
Where,
FW of $1,400 = Future value of Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. of $1,400 =?
M = Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. = $1,400
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (2), we have:
FW of $1,400 = $1,400 * (((1 + 0.01)^4 - 1) / 0.01)
FW of $1,400 = $1,400 * 4.060401
FW of $1,400 = $5,684.56
Calculation of total future worth of solar cells
This is calculated by simply adding the FW of $12,600 and FW of $1,400 as follows:
Total future worth of solar cells = FW of $12,600 + FW of $1,400 = $18,447.66 + $5,684.56 = $24,132.22
Therefore, the total future worth of solar cells is $24,132.22.
b. Calculation of future value of running an electric line
Calculation of future worth of $11,000 installation cost
FW of $11,000 = PW of $11,000 * (1 + r)^n ................ (3)
Where;
FW of $11,000 = Future worth of $11,000 installation cost = ?
PW of $11,000 = Present worth of $11,000 installation cost = $11,000
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (3), we have:
FW of $11,000 = $11,000 * (1 + 0.10)^4
FW of $11,000 = $11,000 * 1.4641
FW of $11,000 = $16,105.10
Calculation of future worth of expected annual power costs of $800
The future worth of expected annual power costs of $800 can also be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FW of $800 = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (4)
Where,
FW of $800 = Future value of expected annual power costs of $800 =?
M = Expected annual power costs = $800
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (4), we have:
FW of $800 = $800 * (((1 + 0.01)^4 - 1) / 0.01)
FW of $800 = $800 * 4.060401
FW of $800 = $3,248.32
Calculation of total future worth of running an electric line
This is calculated by simply adding the FW of $11,000 and FW of $800 as follows:
Total future worth of running an electric line = FW of $11,000 + FW of $800 = $16,105.10 + $3,248.32 = $19,353.42
Therefore, the total future worth of running an electric line is $19,353.42.
c. Conclusion
Since the total future worth of running an electric line of $19,353.42 is less than the total future worth of solar cells is $24,132.22, it implies that it will be cheaper to run an electric line than to use solar cells. Therefore, running an electric line should be selected.

Consider a simple example economy where there are two goods, coconuts and restaurant meals (coconut-based). There are two firms. A coconut producer collects and sells 10 million coconuts at $2.00 each. The firm pays $5 million in wages, $0.5 million in interest on an old loan, and $1.5 million in taxes to the government. We also know that 4 million coconuts are sold to the public for consumption, and 6 million coconuts are sold to the restaurant firm, which uses them to prepare meals. The restaurant sells $30 million in meals. The restaurant pays $4 million in wages and the government $3 million in taxes. The government supplies security and accounting services and employs only labor, and government workers are paid $5.5 million, collected in taxed by the government. Finally, consumers pay $1 million in taxes to the government in addition to the taxes paid by the two firms.
Required:
a. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the product approach.
b. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the expenditure approach.
c. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the income approach.
d. Now, suppose that the coconut producer cannot sell 1 million coconuts during the course of the year. These are collected coconuts that are not sold to the public (assume that sales to the other firm, the restaurant, remain the same).
e. How does this new piece of information affect your calculations in the expenditure approach? Explain.
A) Product Approach
GDP = Value added of all industries
Value added = revenue - intermediate costs
Value added coconut producer = $20,000,000 (it does not have intermediate costs)
Value added restaurant = $30,000,000 - $12,000,000 (cost of coconuts)
= $18,000,000
Value added government = $5,500,000 (collected in taxes, $3 million from the restaurant, $1.5 million from the coconut producer, and $1 million from consumers).
GDP = $20,000,000 + $18,000,000 + $5,500,000
= $43,000,000
B) Expenditure Approach
GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net Exports
Consumption = $8,000,000 in coconuts + $30,000,000 in meals
= $38,000,000
Investment = $0
Government Spending = $5,500,000 in government wages
Net Exports = $0 (it is a closed-economy)
GDP = $38,000,000 + $0 + $5,500,000 + $0
= $43,500,000
C) Income Approach
Wages = $14,500,000
Corporate Profits = $24,000,000
Interest income = $500,000
Taxes = $4,500,000
GDP = $43,500,000
e. How does this new piece of information affect your calculations in the expenditure approach? Explain.
GDP under the expenditure approach, would rise by the value of the unsold coconuts ($1 million) as long as the coconuts were harvested in the given year. This is because inventory produced in the given year, is part of that year's GDP.
In early 2016, the same Germany machinery company has interest from four prospective clients from emerging markets: Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa. They all want to buy ten machines, but the factory can only produce ten in time. Therefore, the company has to choose only one client. Given the volatility of the domestic currencies of the four prospective clients, the CFO would like to choose the client which is least likely to cancel the order due to currency volatility. The invoice comes due on June 30, 2016. According to volatility alone, which prospective client would be most likely to cancel the order?
Answer:
Brazil
Explanation:
According to the picture below, Brazilian real is the currency that has the lowers currency volatility, its spot is 4.0685, and its forward is 4.1820. These values are way lower than the values of the other three currencies, and for this reason, the CFO should choose the Brazilian client, clearly.
Indonesia is the country that is most likely to cancel this order. This is due to its high volatility.
Following the volatility chart that is attached to this question we can clearly spot that Indonesia has the most likelihood to cancel the order.
The volatility of the currency of the country Indonesia is shown to be high and this high volatility is very much going to have an impact on trade.
When there is a weakness in the currency of a nation, the cost of import would go up.

Acute Company manufactures a single product. On December 31, 2014, it adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method. The inventory on that date using the dollar-value LIFO inventory method was determined to be $300,000. Inventory data for succeeding years follow:
Year Ended December 31 Inventory at Respective Year-End Prices Relevant Price Index (Base Year 2014)
2015 $363,000 1.10
2016 420,000 1.20
2017 430,000 1.25
Required:
Compute the inventory amounts at December 31, 2015, 2016, and 2017, using the dollar-value LIFO inventory method for each year.
Answer:
Acute Company
Year Ended December 31 Inventory at
Respective Year-End Prices Relevant Price Index Dollar-value LIFO
2015 $363,000 1.10 $330,000
2016 420,000 1.20 350,000
2017 430,000 1.25 344,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Year Ended December 31 Inventory at Respective Year-End Prices Relevant Price Index (Base Year 2014)
Year Year-End Prices Price Index
2015 $363,000 1.10
2016 420,000 1.20
2017 430,000 1.25
Dollar-value LIFO:
2015 = $363,000/1.10 = $330,000
2016 = $420,000/1.20 = $350,000
2017 = $430,000/1.25 = $344,000
b) The implication is that the respective year-end prices are re-calculated using the 2014 base year index. This prunes the effect of inflation on the most recent prices when compared to the base year of 2014. It makes the ending inventories for the years to be comparable since the inflation-influenced cause has been removed.
Bernie and Phil's Great American Surplus store placed an ad in the Sunday Times stating, "Next Saturday at 8:00 A.M. sharp 3 brand new mink coats worth $5,000 each will be sold for $500 each! First come, First served." Marsha LufMin was first in line when the store opened and went directly to the coat department, but the coats identified in the ad were not available for sale. She identified herself to the manager and pointed out that she was first in line in conformity with the store's advertised offer and that she was ready to pay the $500 price set forth in the store's offer. The manager responded that a newspaper ad is just an invitation to negotiate and that the store decided to withdraw "the mink coat promotion." Review the text on unilateral contracts in Section 12(b) of Chapter 12. Decide.
Answer:
This technique is called "bait and switch", it is illegal and is considered false advertising. A seller cannot falsely advertise a product and then simply say that they do not have it on stock. It is a type of sales fraud and it is prohibited by the Lanham Act.
In order for this situation to be considered legal, the seller must have advertised and sold a certain amount of coats, but it didn't sell any. I.e. the seller runs out of stock because it already sold the 3 coats.
The Hifalutin Co. has perpetual EBIT of $3,000. It has no debt in its capital structure, and its cost of equity is 15%. The corporate tax rate is 40%. There are 300 shares outstanding. Hifalutin has announced that it will borrow $3,750 in perpetual debt at 8% and use the proceeds to buy up stock. How many shares will be purchased
Answer:
The right answer is "56 shares".
Explanation:
According to the question,
Earning per share is:
= [tex]\frac{3000}{300}[/tex]
= $[tex]10[/tex]
PE ratio will be:
= [tex]\frac{1}{ke}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{15}[/tex]
= [tex]6.67[/tex]
Market price at every share will be:
= [tex]PE \ ratio\times EPS[/tex]
= [tex]6.67\times 10[/tex]
= [tex]66.7 \ Per \ share[/tex] ($)
Now,
The number of purchased shares will be:
= [tex]\frac{borrow}{market \ price \ per \ share}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3750}{66.7}[/tex]
= [tex]56.22[/tex]
i.e.,
= [tex]56 \ shares[/tex]
Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries, they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $500 from corporate bonds. Marc contributed $2,500 to an individual retirement account, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,500 (under a divorce decree effective June 1, 2005). Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $1,000 child tax credit for Matthew. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $5,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the course of the year. (use the 2016 tax rate schedules).
1. What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle’s deductions from AGI?
2. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
3. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
Answer:
$24750
$47750
Explanation:
Total amount of Marc and Michelle's deduction. From AGI:
MAX of (ITEMIZED DEDUCTION or MARRIED FILING JOINTLY)
2016 TAX SCHEDULE :
STANDARD DEDUCTION FOR MARRIED FILING JOINTLY = $12600
Personal and dependency deduction = 4,050
(4050 * 3). = $12,150
Deduction from AGI = $12,600 + $12,150 = $24750
Taxable income :
Gross income = (Marc and Michelle's salary + corporate bond)
= $(64000 + 12000 + 500) = $76500
Contribution + alimony = ($2500 + $1500) = 4000
Taxable income = ($76500 - 4000 - 24750) = $47750

A company has the following aging schedule of its accounts receivable with the estimated percent uncollectible:______.
Age Group Amount Receivable Estimated Percent Uncollectible
Not yet due $ 175,000 4 %
0-60 days past due $ 40,000 10 %
61-120 days past due $ 10,000 30 %
More than 120 days past due $ 5,000 60 %
Assuming the balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is $3,000 (credit) before adjustment, which of the following would be recorded in the year-end adjusting entry?
Answer: $14,000
Explanation:
Estimated Uncollectibles = (4% * 175,000) + ( 10% * 40,000) + ( 30% * 10,000) + (60% * 5,000)
= 7,000 + 4,000 + 3,000 + 3,000
= $17,000
Balance before adjustment is a credit of $3,000 so the adjustment for the year is;
= 17,000 - 3,000
= $14,000

Midland Petroleum is holding a stockholders’ meeting next month. Ms. Ramsey is the president of the company and has the support of the existing board of directors. All 12 members of the board are up for reelection. Mr. Clark is a dissident stockholder. He controls proxies for 42,001 shares. Ms. Ramsey and her friends on the board control 52,001 shares. Other stockholders, whose loyalties are unknown, will be voting the remaining 24,998 shares. The company uses cumulative voting.
Required:
a. How many directors can Mr. Clark be sure of electing?
b. How many can Ms Rmasey be sure of electing
c. How many votes could clark have if he had all the uncommitted votes
d. Does that give him control?
e. If nine directors were to be elected, and Ms. Ramsey and her friends had 70,001 shares and Mr. Clark had 48,001 shares plus half the uncommitted votes, how many directors could Mr. Clark elect?
Answer:
Midland Petroleum
a. Mr. Clark can be sure of electing = 4 directors
b. Ms Ramsey can be sure of electing = 5 directors
c. If Mr. Clark had all the uncommitted votes, he can elect = 7 directors
d. With 7 directors, he has control.
e. Mr. Clark can elect (60,50/143,000 * 9) = 4 directors.
Explanation:
Board members = 12
Mr. Clark control = 42,001 shares or 35.295%
Ms. Ramsey control = 52,001 shares or 43.698%
Undecided shareholders = 24,998 shares or 21.01%
Total shareholding = 119,000 shares or 100%
Mr. Clark can elect = 35.295% of directors = 4
Ms. Ramsey can elect = 43.698% of directors = 5
Other shareholders can elect = 21.01% of directors = 3
New shareholding:
Ms. Ramsey and friends = 70,001 shares
Mr. Clark and half uncommitted votes = 60,500 (48,001 + 12,499)
Half of the other uncommitted votes = 12,499
Total votes = 143,000
Mr. Clark can elect (60,50/143,000 * 9) = 4 directors.
In 2010, Toyota recalled millions of automobiles to fix a potentially hazardous problem known as sudden acceleration. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, James Stewart gave investors the following advice: "Toyota shares were over $90 as recently as Jan. 19, 2010. They closed Tuesday (February 02, 2010) at $78.18, which strikes me as a modest decline under the circumstances. If I owned shares, I’d seize the chance to get out.
Required:
Would a believer in the efficient markets theory be likely to follow Stewart's advice?
Answer:
Of course not. Someone that believes in the efficient market theory (or hypothesis as it is generally called), believes that the market is always right. As an individual investor, you might be right or wrong, but the market as a whole has access to perfect information and the price of each stock already has been determined factoring all possible events and outcomes. I.e. the market's price is always the correct price and there is no way in which an individual investor can make a profit by buying or selling undervalued or overvalued stocks.
Personally, I disagree with this hypothesis, and the reason why most people call is a hypothesis is that they disagree with it. If the market is always right, then this theory is no good.

Management is considering a plant expansion program for the following year that will permit an increase of $3,760,000 in yearly sales. The expansion will increase fixed costs by $1,800,000 but will not affect the relationship between sales and variable costs.
Required:
1. Determine the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.
Total variable costs $_____
Total fixed costs $_____
2. Determine (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year.
Unit variable cost $_____
Unit contribution margin $_____
3. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year.
4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year.
5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year.
6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant.
7. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the income or loss from operations be for the following year?
8. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?
a. In favor of the proposal because of the reduction in break-even point.
b. In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.
c. In favor of the proposal because of the increase in break-even point.
d. Reject the proposal because if future sales remain at the current level, the income from operations will increase.
e. Reject the proposal because the sales necessary to maintain the current income from operations would be below the current year sales.
Answer:
1. Determine the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.
Total variable costs = $17,500,000 + $3,000,000 + $1,500,000 = $22,000,000 Total fixed costs = $10,000,0002. Determine (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year.
Unit variable cost = $22,000,000 / 500,000 = $44 Unit contribution margin = $94 - $44 = $503. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year.
break even point = $10,000,000 / $50 = 200,000 units4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year.
break even point = $11,800,000 / $50 = 236,000 units5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year.
units = ($11,800,000 + $15,000,000) / $50 = 536,000 units6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant.
total units sold 500,000 + 40,000 = 540,000total contribution margin = 540,000 x $50 = $27,000,000operating income = $27,000,000 - $11,800,000 = $15,200,0007. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the income or loss from operations be for the following year?
operating income = (500,000 x $50) - $11,800,000 = $13,200,000represents a decrease of $15,000,000 - $13,200,000 = $1,800,0008. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?
b. In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.how globalization has changed jobs in an organization where you have worked. What are some HR responses to those changes
Explanation:
Globalization is a phenomenon that has interconnected the world in a political, economic, social and cultural way, which means that this phenomenon has had a significant impact on an organization's business world and HR sector.
An organization that is present in a globalized world, will need to develop new ways of carrying out processes, since this environment is increasingly competitive and needs creativity and innovation for a company to remain well positioned in the market. It is also necessary to highlight that people have new work demands and seek to work in companies that exercise corporate governance and improve their socio-environmental environment.
Therefore, HR was positively impacted by globalization in a positive way, establishing an integration of its processes and people, in order to seek cultural and professional diversity in the recruited professionals, which combine greater innovation and competence for the company. In addition, organizations are more flexible and open to communication, assertiveness, self-management and processes that assist in innovation, motivation and continuous improvement of processes.

Nanjones Company manufactures a line of products distributed nationally through wholesalers. Presented below are planned manufacturing data for the year and actual data for November of the current year. The company applies overhead based on planned machine hours using a predetermined annual rate.
Planning Data
Annual November
Fixed manufacturing overhead $1,200,000 $100,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 2,400,000 220,000
Direct labor hours 48,000 4,000
Machine hours 240,000 20,000
Data for November
Direct labor hours (actual) 4,200
Direct labor hours (plan based on output) 4,000
Machine hours (actual) 21,600
Machine hours (plan based on output) 21,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead $101,200
Variable manufacturing overhead $214,000
The fixed overhead volume variance for November was
a. $1,200 unfavorable.
b. $5,000 favorable.
c. $5,000 unfavorable.
d. $10,000 favorable.
Answer:
Manufacturing overhead volume variance= $1,200 unfavorable
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Fixed Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,200,000/240,000
Fixed Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5 per machine hour
Now, to calculate the fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance, we need to use the following formula:
Manufacturing overhead volume variance = Actual Factory Overhead - Budgeted Allowance Based on Standard Hours
Manufacturing overhead volume variance= (101,200) - (5*20,000)
Manufacturing overhead volume variance= $1,200 unfavorable

The price of oil in international markets has dropped stunningly 60% in the past twelve months. Among the factors mentioned behind this drastic fall is the millions of barrels of oil produced in the US called shale oil and analyze:
a. The market struc ture for oil industry.
b. The supply and demand for oil in that market structure.
c. The pricing of oil at the presence of OPEC and the role of Speculators.
d. Why shale oil is a substitute for oil and explain the news in regard to the Cross elasticity of demand.
Answer:
a. The market structure for oil industry.
The market structure is monopolistic competition: there are many competitors, that hold some market power, but not as much as in oligopoly. The good that is offered is not as homogenous as in agricultural markets, and this is the reason why it is not a perfect-competition structure either.
b. The supply and demand for oil in that market structure.
Supply and demand is determined more or less freely in the market. Producers hold some market power so they charge a price that is a bit higher than the marginal cost, which would be the price in a perfect competition structure.
Consumers also have power in the demand curve because they have a fair number of options.
c. The pricing of oil at the presence of OPEC and the role of Speculators.
The OPEC forms an oligopoly, however, not all countries that produce oil are members of the OPEC, and this is why the market structure as a whole is not an oligopoly, but monopolistic competition.
Speculators can drive prices, but their influence is marginal in comparison to consumers as a whole.
d. Why shale oil is a substitute for oil and explain the news in regard to the Cross elasticity of demand.
Shale oil is a substitute because it offers the same service: providing energy, and serving as a chemical component of many products.
As for the cross elasticity of demand, this means that when the price of oil increases, the demand for shale oil increases, because people flock to the substitute.
