This issue is related to the VRIO model, which is an analytical technique to help a company evaluate its organizational resources and make them effective and competitive in the market. The acronym VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability and Organization, which together form the necessary points for business improvement.
Analyzing the question, it is possible to see that the company focused on issues related to value, rarity and organization, so the question that should be asked to achieve a sustainable advantage is the question related to imitability, which could be: It is difficult to imitate the product at the cost of the resource or capacity?

Answer: C. Colombia has an absolute advantage producing coffee, and Cuba has an absolute advantage producing oranges
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Colombia spends 2 hours producing coffee and 6 hours producing oranges, and Cuba spends 3 hours producing coffee and 1 hour producing oranges.
Since Columbia spends a lesser time producing coffee and Cuba spends a lesser time producing oranges, it means that Colombia has an absolute advantage producing coffee, and Cuba has an absolute advantage producing oranges.
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
In April 2013, Sparkle Enterprises purchased the Crimson Mine for $18,000,000. The mine is estimated to contain 500,000 tons of ore with a residual value of $2,000,000 after mining operations are completed. During 2013, 120,000 tons of ore were removed from the mine and sold.
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= (16,000,000/500,000)*120,000= $3,840,000
Answer:
PV of annuity due = $90,182.8 (Approx.)
Explanation:
Given:
Payment per year = $12,000
Number of year = 10
Interest rate = 7% = 0.07
Find:
PV of annuity due
Computation:
PV of annuity due = P + P[{1-(1+r)⁻⁽ⁿ⁻¹)/r]
PV of annuity due = 12,000 + 12,000[{1-(1+0.07)⁻⁽¹⁰⁻¹)/0.07]
PV of annuity due = $90,182.8 (Approx.)
