Answer:

a) Demonstrating bad timing.

Explanation:

If the firm releases a new technology with the hope of getting a lot of sales, only to have a competitor implement a similar, but more advanced or complete technology shortly after, it is because the firm is not aware enough of the timing of technological advancements.

A firm without bad timing should not have been surpassed in the technology department by a competitor so fast.

This kind of problem has hapenned in real life. for example, when Blackberry launched the 8000 - 9000 series of phones in 2006, only to have Apple launch the much more innovative and groundbreaking Iphone in 2007.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

A)The student beneficiary will use the money to pay for high school expenses.

Explanation:

A Coverdell Education Savings Account can be used for elementary, secondary, or higher education expenses (college). The money can be used to pay for public, private, or religious schools. On the other hand, 529 plans can only be used to pay for higher education expenses (college).

A homeowner paid $85,000 for a house three years ago. The house sells today for $110,000. How much has the property appreciated?
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Amount paid for house three years ago = $85,000

Selling price of house today = $110,000

Therefore,

Property appreciated by following percentage:

= (change in value ÷ Amount paid for house three years ago) × 100

= [($110,000 - $85,000) ÷ $85,000] × 100

= ($25,000 ÷ $85,000) × 100

= 0.2941 × 100

= 29.41%
