Answer:
$11 billion annually.
Explanation:
Firms carried out assessments based on their daily activities as well as employee assessment.
Employees in firms are assessed based on their productivity level, rate at which they are absent from work as well as their turnover rate in the firm.
Low productivity can be defined as a decrease in the production capacity of a firm due to the inefficiency of workers.
Absenteeism can be defined as when a person is not present at work. This may be due to genuine or deliberate reasons.
Employee turnover can be defined as the number of employees who leave a firm and are replaced with new employees.
Low productivity, consistent absenteeism and employee turnover rates are said to cause firms to lose a lot of money due to:
a. Payment of salary for absent workers
b. Having to find replacement for absent staffs.
c. Low productivity due to lack of or absent staffs.
It is estimated that firms lose $11 billion annually in productivity, absenteeism, and employee turnover due to caring for aging parents.
Answer:
differentiated products.
Explanation:
An oligopoly occurs when a few large firms dominate a market and they aim to maximise profit. The action of one firm has significant effect on the market, so the firm's are interdependent.
There are high barriers to entry including use of government liscences, patents, economies of scale, and actions taken by firms to discourage entry into the market.
However differentiation of products is not a necessary condition for oligopoly. Products can be homogenous or differentiated.
Answer:
D. maturity
Explanation:
A product life cycle is divided into four, namely, introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. The concept of the product life's cycle is used as a decision-making tool to help management know when to expand to new markets, increase advertising, adjust prices, or redesign a product.
The maturity cycle is the third stage of a product life cycle. At this stage, sales revenues and sale volume reach the peak. The market get saturated with very few new customers. The product growth becomes stagnant. Profits may begin to decline at this stage.
