Firms that can employ and establish <u>isolating mechanisms</u> are more likely to protect their competitive advantage from being copied and/or eroding away.

Isolation mechanisms:

A company is able to maintain its competitive edge for a longer period of time if it can stop a rival from copying the resource or capability that provides it that advantage. Isolation mechanisms is the name of this technique. For instance, a patent is a legitimate tool to stop imitation.

A firm's objective is to have a prolonged competitive advantage when a resource or capability gives the firm an advantage over competitors for an extended period of time. The industry will determine how long a company can preserve a competitive advantage.

If a business can maintain a competitive edge for a year in a fast-moving field like information technology or quick fashion, it may be quite happy. In an industry with less frequent changes, such as feminine hygiene, a persistent competitive advantage may remain considerably longer.

A sustainable competitive edge cannot be maintained by any company indefinitely. The competition is constantly working to improve its own competitive edge.

Answer:

<u>Date                                      Purchases                    Sales        </u>

May 1                                1,550 units at $44

May 10                                720 units at $45

May 12                                                                    1,200 units

COGS                                                                  (720 x $45 = $32,400)

COGS                                                                  (480 x $44 = $21,120)

TOTAL COGS FOR MAY 12 SALE                       = $53,520

Inventory after sale        1,070 units at $44

May 20                             1,200 units at $48

May 14                                                                      830 units

COGS                                                                  (830 x $48 = $39,840)

TOTAL COGS FOR MAY 14 SALE                       = $39,840

Inventory after sale         1,070 units at $44

                                          370 units at $48

May 31                                                                    1,000 units

COGS                                                                  (370 x $48 = $17,760)

COGS                                                                  (630 x $44 = $27,720)

TOTAL COGS FOR MAY 12 SALE                       = $45,480

Inventory after sale        440 units at $44

Under LIFO (last in, first out), the cost of goods sold is determined using the price of the last units purchased, which means that the most recent (or updated) price is used to calculate COGS.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The answer is B. increase its spending.

Explanation:

Fiscal policy is a tool used by the government of every nation to control its economy. It uses its spending and revenue (tax) to control it.

When the economy is operating at an output level below potential real GDP, it means there are low activities in the economy i.e reduced households' consumption, reduced business investments and reduced government spending.

Government can stimulate the economy (which will increase real GDP) by increasing its spending in all areas.

Increasing taxes will reduce GDP because households' consumption will reduce due to lower disposable income and business investments too will reduce.

Option A and D are wrong because money supply is a monetary policy.
