Answer: possible options:
A.growth market is to a differentiation-based strategy
B. broadly-defined target market is to a cost leadership strategy
C. growth market is to a cost-based strategy
D. technological innovation is to cost-based strategy
Answer is B
Explanation:
Companies that use a cost leadership strategy and those that use a differentiation strategy share one important characteristic: both groups try to be attractive to customers in general. These efforts to appeal to a broad range of consumers can be contrasted with strategies that involve targeting a relatively narrow niche of potential customers. These latter strategies are known as focus strategies (Porter, 1980).
Focused cost leadership is the first of two focus strategies. A focused cost leadership strategy requires competing based on price to target a NARROW MARKET. A firm that follows this strategy does not necessarily charge the lowest prices in the industry. Instead, it charges low prices relative to other firms that compete within the target market. For example, you might be able to buy milk cheaper by driving to a big-box grocery store in your local community or town, but the local corner store is the cheapest within walking distance. Redbox, a major DVD rental company, uses vending machines placed outside grocery stores and other retail outlets to rent DVDs of movies for $1. There are ways to view movies even cheaper, such as through the flat-fee streaming video subscriptions offered by Netflix. But among firms that rent actual DVDs, Redbox offers unparalleled levels of low price and high convenience.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: in a federal court, since the United States is a party to the litigation.
Explanation:
Based on the scenario in the question, in case Hickory Manufacturing elects to sue the United States in order to get back the $24700 federal tax refund which wasn't given to the company, it must be done in a federal court because the the IRS is a federal administrative agency and hence, the matter can't be pursued in the North Carolina state court.
Therefore, the correct option is A "in a federal court, since the United States is a party to the litigation".

Answer:
1. $70
2. $106.42
Explanation:
(1) Variable manufacturing cost per unit:
= Direct labor + Direct material + Variable overhead
= $10 + $34 + $26
= $70
(2) Full cost per unit:
= Direct labor + Direct material + Variable overhead + Variable selling cost + (Fixed ÷ 1,200)
= $10 + $34 + $26 + $5 + [(19,500 + 18,200) ÷ 1,200)]
= $75 + $31.42
= $106.42
