Answer:

Serge purchases the Bobcat due to its _______.

brand equity.

Explanation:

We are considering Serge's preference for Bobcat skid steer machine based on some perceived values.  These values can be described as the brand equity. The Bobcat's brand equity represents the commercial value which customers derive from Bobcat's skid steer when compared with the products of Bobcat competitors.  Purchasing a Bobcat skid steer makes Serge to feel that he has received enough value notwithstanding the more expensive price he pays vis-a-vis choosing the alternatives offered by Bobcat's competitors.  In the equity value, Serge has included the "variety of add-on products that extend the usefulness of the skid steer, a great warranty, and a competitive price."

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

D. Customers and suppliers willing to learn and evolve with new technology

Explanation:

In an implementation of any new IT system, the resistance to adoption from different stakeholders in the organizations is one of the most difficult challenges that is faced by the project managers. To overcome this resistance, the project manager needs to be accustomed to the basic principles of change management which involves:

1 - Designing incentive systems that forces all the stakeholders to adopt the new system.

2- Manage proper communication strategy that conveys the benefits of adopting the new system and conduct training for all the users.

However, there will still be resistance from certain suppliers and customers  to the adoption of the new system. Which can lead to failed implementation of the system. However by doing the following, any organization can make sure that customers and suppliers quickly become an integral part of the IT system:

1- Take feedback from the customers and suppliers so that not only a more user friendly system can be designed, but also customers will be more invested as they feel they have been part of the decision making process.

2- Invite customers and suppliers to use the company resources to make themselves accustomed to the new system.

Answer:

(i) $14,000

Explanation:

Cost of the machine that is recorded in the books of accounts is the total cost incurred to make the machine useful and useable.

Cost for each machine:

= amount paid for the assets + installation costs + renovation cost prior to use.

Therefore,

Cost of Machine A = 11,000 + 500 + 2,500

                               = $14,000

Cost of Machine B = 30,000 + 1,000 + 1,000

                               = $32,000

Cost of Machine C = 8000 + 500 + 1500

                               = $10,000

The aggregate demand aggregate supply mode is quite useful tool for us to understand the economy. So far, we saw only one change
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

1) From the question, we can deduce that in the short run, there will likely be news of the discovery/invention of a super vaccine which will make the consumers and the businesses to be optimistic about the future of the economy. Therefore, this will in turn lead to an increase in consumption by consumers and thus also lead to an producers making an increase in investment.

2) From answer 1 above, since there is an increase in consumption as well as investment, this will in turn also lead to an increase in the aggregate demand of the economy. Whereas, we are told that the oil market is calm and therefore we can say it does not have an effect on the supply curve.

From the first image attached, increase in the aggregate demand led to an increase in price level from point P to P1 on the y-axis while output output level increased from point Y to point Y1 on the x-axis.

3) In the long run, due to the increase in demand in the short run that makes the supply curve shift to its right, it means the producers will have more of the goods produced. This will in turn reduce the price to its initial level and also increase the output level. From the second diagram, this will lead to a shift long run aggregate supply from LRAS to LRAS1 on the x-axis.
