Answer:

Karl Marx

Explanation:

Many people only remember Marx for his theories about extreme socialist governments that eventually led to communism in other parts of the world. But he actually did understand how capitalism worked, added value theories, the way capital ($) worked, and he believed that capitalism was a necessary stage in the development of society. As an economist he was brilliant, but then he turned into a sort of philosopher.

Problems started when he said that after capitalism had led to an unprecedented economic growth, then it would be time for the workers (proletariat) to take over and lead economic systems. This rule by the working class would eventually lead to a fair society where everyone would be able to prosper.

Marx's economic theories are utopian, they call for a nearly perfect world, but humans aren't perfect. If you like Star Trek, you should recall that the world runs just like Marx wanted to. The economy and living conditions are based solely on your work, that is why the world was able to unite under one single federation. But as much as I would really like to travel at warp speed, it is not possible, and I really doubt that Marx's ideas are possible either.

You can buy property today for $3 million and sell it in 5 years for $4 million. (You earn no rental income on the property.) (L

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

a) Present Value of sales = $2,722,332.78

b) Property is not attractive. NPV$ (277,667.21)

c) Property is attractive. NPV-$520,874.79

Explanation:

The present value of the property

PV = S× (1+r)^(-n)

S- Sales value

r- interest rate -8%

n- number of years

PV - present value

PV = 4,000,000× 1.08^(-5) = $2,722,332.78

b. Is the property investment attractive to you?

We calculated the PV of the investment as follows

NPV = PV of sales value - initial cost

= 2,722,332.78 - 3,000,000=$ (277,667.21)

The property investment is not attractive because it will produce a loss in capital i.e negative NPV

To determine we will calculate the NPV again with considering the additional rental income

PV of annual rent = 200,000 × (1-1.08^(-5))/0.08= 798,542.00

NPV = 798,542.00 + 277,667.2119 - 3,000,000 =520,874.79

The property is attractive as it produces positive NPV

How would you characterize the strategy for competing internationally that ford was pursuing prior to the arrival of alan mullal

miskamm [114]

1. Prior to the arrival of Alan Mullay, Ford was following a strategy of offering products that were modified as per the tastes and preferences of the local market. It did not pusrue a strategy of standardization. For Ford, the focus was to meet the particular demands of local consumers. The benefits of this strategy was that particular tastes and preferences of loacl consumers were satisfied by producing models with different specifications for different markets. For example, Americans love SUVs and trucks while Asian and European consumers have a preference for fuel efficient cars. This strategy helps Ford to cater to all the different needs.

In terms of costs, such a stratgey increased the production and operations costs as the economies of scale could bot be achieved. Further advantages of standardization like common parts, sharing of development costs could not have been reaped by Ford, thus increasing costs. Ford was pursuing this strategy due to the autonomy of different regions within Ford's organization.

2. With the One Ford initiative, Mullay is trying to create car platforms that can be used accross the globe without any need for modifications and customizations. The benefits of this strategy is that development costs will be shared among different markets, common parts can be procured for a car model and eventually economies of scale can be achieved. For example, small cars like Focus will have the same set of requirements accross the globe and can be standardized easily. In terms of drawbacks, Ford will not be able to cater to regional nuances in the taste of customers belonging to different markets.

3. The One Ford initiative does not imply that Ford will now disregard national and regional differences in demand. It will merely cut down the number of platforms that stands at 15 currently to around five platforms. Minor modifications will be allowed under the platform and these minor modifications will ensure that national and regional differences in demand is satisfied. This is specially the case for smaller cars like Focus, or the Escape SUV.

In comparing money to a share of microsoft stock held by an individual, we can say:_______.

Anastaziya [24]

In comparing money to a share of Microsoft stock held by an individual, we can say, only the money is a means of payment, but both are stores of value.

In order to serve as a medium of exchange, money is very widely accepted as a method of payment. When comparing money to a share of Microsoft stock which is held by an individual, it can be said that money is a means of payment, but here the stock and money both are stores of value.

As a store of value, money is not unique as there are many other stores of value exist, such as stocks, land, works of art etc. Money may not even be the best store of value because it depreciates with inflation.

Hence, money is a means of payment, but together with money, stocks can also be stores of value.
