False. cutting cost will move the business closer to having a competitive advantage but it is more involved then that. they also need something that sets them apart from the competition, something that the competition doesn't offer such as personalized service. a different product, or even a better atmosphere. they also need to stay focused on their costumer. can the costumer find a employee when they need help? is the layout of the store organized in a manner that makes sense? all of these factors go into competitive advantage

You deposit​ $5,000 per year at the end of each of the next 25 years into an account that pays​ 8% compounded annually. How much
Volgvan

Answer:

The correct answer is A. $18,276

Explanation:

First you have to calculate how much you'd end up having at the end of the 25 years period in your savings account.

You calculate the total amount saved for each year, using the formula:

S_{n} = S_{n-1} *(1+r)+D

Where

S_{n} is the total amount in the savings account for this period.

S_{n-1} is the total amount in the savings account from the previous period.

ris the interest rate.

Dare the annual deposits being made into the savings account.

Therefore for the first year you'd do:

S_{1} = S_{0} *(1+r)+D

S_{1} = 0*(1+0.08)+5000=5000

For the second year:

S_{2} = S_{1} *(1+r)+D

S_{2} = 5000*(1+0.08)+5000=10400

And so on. You can help yourself calculate the value of this series using programs like Excel.

I have attached an Excel file that has a table with the savings values for each of the 25 years.

So, the 25th year you’ll have $365,529.70 in your savings account. Now you simply divide this number by 20 (that will be the number of years you’ll be withdrawing the same dollar amount from your savings account):

Withdrawals = 365,529.70/20=18,276.485

In conclusion, you’d be able to withdraw $18,276.485 each year for the following 20 years after the 25th deposit, if all withdrawals are the same dollar amount.
