An augmented product is something that has physical and non-physical attributes that add to the value of the product itself.
Answer:
to survive today, organizations need to be present in both the online and physical markets
Explanation:
So far Amazon has dominated the online space when it comes to buying products and services. But the scenario in the question makes it clear that having only one channel open to customers (online) is not sufficient.
It is necessary to diversify by having physical stores in addition to online stores.
Some consumers for example will want to examine what they are buying before paying, others will not have the patience to wait for delivery of goods. So the physical store will serve these segments of customer's.
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total market value of all the final goods and services produced within a sovereign nation(country) during a given period of time usually a year.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can be calculated using expenditure method or income method or value-added method.
To analyze this question, expenditure method will be used. The formula is C + I + G + (X-M)
where C is the consumer spending
I is the business investments
G is the government spending
X is the exports
M is the imports.
Government has injected $200 billion into the economy through its spending.
This $200 billion is gotten from an increase in taxes, meaning consumers' disposable income has reduced by this amount.
Therefore, $200 billion will still be the incremental amount to the GDP
Answer:
d. joint venture.
Explanation:
A cooperative, business trust or a franchise are generally stable businesses that are formed to operate in the long run.
On the other hand, a joint venture occurs when different entities get together to do business and that can be a one time event only. In this case, Rusty was hired for spraying the fields one time only (one time event).
Answer:
the lowest operating cost is achieved when mine 1 is operated for 0 hours and mine 2 is operated for 2 hours.
Explanation:
Mining hours of mine 1: M1
mining hours of mine 2: M2
Objective function: Minimize operating cost < 200M1 + 160 M2
Explicit constraints:
6M1 + 2M2 ≥ 12
2M1+ 2M2≥ 8
4M1+ 12M2 ≥ 24
Implicit constraints:
M1> 0
M2>0
See the attachment for feasible region
The coordinates of feasible region are (0,0), (2,0),(0,2),(1.5,1.5)
To maximize cost substitute each of these coordinates in objective function
for(0,0)
cost=0 (neglect this cost since M1>0 and M2 >0)
for(2,0)
cost= 320
for (0,2)
cost= 400
for (1.5,1.5)
cost= 540
the lowest operating cost is achieved when mine 1 is operated for 0 hours and mine 2 is operated for 2 hours
