Anit [1.1K]

Answer: their domestic consumers are demanding

Explanation:

In Porter's Diamond Strategy, he explains why some nations are more competitive than others. One of the factors mentioned was the DEMAND CONDITIONS.

He posited that home demand has a huge influence on how favourable domestic industries are.

How?

A larger market at home presents companies with challenges as well as more opportunities to grow and become better and more efficient.

Striving to satiate such a demand will enable companies to scale new heights and they will learn more about consumer behavior much quicker. They will then use this knowledge to apply and conquer new markets thanks to being forced to adapt early by their own domestic market.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer: Radial Autos should pursue Backward Integration.

Explanation: Backward integration is the process in which a company purchases or internally produces segments of its own supply chain. Simply put, it is when a company acquires and controls certain inputs that could be utilized in the process of manufacturing its products or services.

This is a competitive strategy, because it lowers the cost of production and this will reflect in the price of the final product.

This is the strategy that Radial Autos should pursue in order to lower cost and reduce risk in interruption of the supply component, because in adopting this strategy, they will have total control over the inputs they use in production.

icang [17]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

As the general price level decreases or falls, people will want to hold less money, so the interest rate falls.

As price level falls, value of money decreases because a unit of money will more of goods or services.

During this period people will want to hold less money because of the decrease in value and the excess money will be deposited in banks.

With this, the banks have more money to lend out and this will make the bank to reduce its Interest rate.

Leni [432]

Answer

What is Income Elasticity of Demand?

Income elasticity of demand is the ratio of percentage change in quantity of a product demanded to percentage change in the income level of consumer. It is a measure of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in consumers income.

Income elasticity of demand indicates whether a product is a normal good or an inferior good. When the quantity demanded of a product increases with an increase in the level of income and decreases with decrease in level of income, we get a positive value for income elasticity of demand. A positive income elasticity of demand stands for a normal (or superior) good. When the quantity demanded of a product or service decreases in response to an increase and increases in response to decrease in the income level, the income elasticity of demand is negative and the product is an inferior good.

Formula

Income Elasticity of Demand Ei%\ Change in Quantity Demanded%\ Change in Consumers Income

Percentages are calculated using the mid-point formula, i.e. by dividing the change in quantity by average of initial and final quantities, and change in income by the average of initial and final values of income. Therefore:

Income Elasticity of Demand - Ei = Qf - Qi ÷ Qf + Qi ÷ 2 ÷ If - Ii / If + Ii ÷2

Income Elasticity of Demand - Ei = % Change in Quantity Demanded ÷ % change in consumer Income

Where:

Qf - is the final initial quantities demanded of the product,

Qi - is initial quantities demanded of the product,

If - is the final incomes of consumer

Ii - is the initial incomes of consumer.

∴

Question

What is her income elasticity of demand for thingamabobs?

Solution:

From the Problem, it can be deduced that -

Qf - assume it to be 60 since it is not given

Qi - assume it to be 50 thingamabobs?

If - assume it to be 40% since it is not given

Ii - 30%

Assume the % increase in Income to be

∴

Ei = 60 -50/ 60 + 50 ÷ 2 ÷ 40 - 30 / 40 + 30 ÷ 2

Ei = 10/110 /2 ÷ 10/70 ÷ 2

Ei = 10/11 X 70/10 ÷ 2

Ei = 10/55 x 14

Ei = 28/11 = 0.73%

Therefore the Income elasticity of demand for Adrina is 0.73 %
