The product life cycle (plc) defines the life of a product in four basic stages, introduction, growth, maturity, and decline.

The product lifecycle is the process from the initial launch of a product to its rejection or removal from the market. The life cycle consists of four phases initiation, growth, maturity, and decline.

This theory suggests that at the beginning of a product's life cycle, all parts and labor associated with that product originate from the field in which it was invented. Production gradually moves away from the origin as the product becomes accepted and used in the global market.

Answer:

The annual dividend expected to be paid by the stock nine years from today (D9) is $11.27 per share.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of annual dividends expected to be paid the stock for Years 1 to 9.

In the attached excel file, the following formula is used:

Current year dividend = Previous year dividend * (100% + Growth rate)

From the attached excel file, the annual dividend expected to be paid by the stock nine years from today (D9) is $11.27 per share (Note: see the bold red color under the Year's 9 Current Year Dividend).

An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 3km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refi

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$6,598,076.21

Explanation:

<h2>THE KEY IS TO FIND OUT THE COST FUNCTION, the calculations are very easy!!!</h2><h2></h2><h3>In order to find the cost function, take a look at the drawing attached. </h3>

We can see the river (sort of) that is 3 km wide and the storage tanks on the other side of the river 8 km apart.

<h3 />

Laying pipes under (across) the river costs 1,000,000 the km & laying pipes over land costs 500,000 per km.

<h3 /><h3>So basically the cost function is 1,000,000 multiplied by something plus 500,000 multiplied by another something.</h3><h3 />

The distance across the river can be found by using Pythagoras Theorem. A side is 3 km the other is unknown, so we call it X. And it is equal to:

$\sqrt{3^{2} +x^{2}}=\\\sqrt{9 +x^{2}}$

And we multiply it by 1,000,000; the cost of laying pipe under the river, the we get:

$1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}$

The distance over the land is (8-x), as we can see in the drawing. So we multiply it by its cost, 500,000. And we get 500,000(8-x).

So the cost function f(x) would be:

$f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)$

<h2>From here, we just have to differentiate and the derivative found must be equal to zero in order to minimize cost. </h2><h3>The value of x when the derivative is zero is plugged in the original function to get the cost.</h3><h3 /><h2>LET'S DO THIS</h2>

$f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(x)=1000000(9+x^{2})^{1/2}+4000000-500000x\\f'(x)=\frac{1}{2} 1000000(9+x^{2})^{-1/2}(2x)-500000\\\\f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} - 500000$

$f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} - 500000=0\\\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} = 500000\\\frac{2x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} = 1\\2x={\sqrt{9+x^2}}\\4x^2=9+x^2\\3x^2=9\\x^2=3\\x=\sqrt{3} \\$

And we plug square root of 3 in the original cost function ad we get

$f(\sqrt{3} )=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+(\sqrt{3} )^{2}} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+3} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{12}+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000(3.46)+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=3464101.62+3133974.60\\f(\sqrt{3})=6598076.21\\$

<h2>so the minimal cost is $6,598,076.21</h2><h2 /><h3 />
