What is the problem with companies pursuing patents specifically to hinder, or prevent, competition?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:According to the article, when companies earn patents specifically to prevent competition, it hinders the innovation of products that might actually be better. For instance, Bruce Nolop describes how his company had to pay more attention to the "minefield of existing patents than on the expected value that we could bring to customers." Rosabeth Moss Kanter suggests a "use it or lose it" solution to this problem. She thinks that a company that patents an item would be forced to use the patented idea or product or risk losing the patent. This idea would encourage more competition and prevent patent abuse.

Answer:

<h2>Yes, the resume give HR / Technical person to understand and spot questions from the resume.</h2>

Explanation:

Though the question is little incomplete, I would try to answer assuming about the interview phases especially this resume review.

Resume is the first thing which the interviewer would see before they see you (Eg. Resume from job portal, resume received through friends or other employee referral, resume received through job fairs, etc)

So the interviewer

can find whether the information given in the resume is true by spotting questions from that and testing your answer in the personal interview.

can also understand how your work and the organization's expectation meet.

can choose the best candidate by looking at the resume itself.

A company wishes to raise $27 million by issuing 15-year semi-annual coupon bonds with face value of $1,000 and coupon rate of 6

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

We first need to find out the present value of each $1,000 bond and then we can figure out how many of these bonds we require to raise $27 million

The n of payments is 15*2 because semi annual payments for 15 years so our N will be 30

The YTM is 7.70/2 because of semi annual payments = 3.85

The Face value is of 1,000 so FV= 1,000

The payments our 1000*0.066=66 divided by 2 because semi annual payments so PMT= 33

We will put these values in a financial calculator to compute the PV of a $1000 bond.

PV= 903

So now we know that the company can get $903 for each $1,000 bond as the bonds present value is 903.

Now in order to find out how many bonds need to be issued to raise 27 million we will divide 27 million by 903, as 903 is the amount we can raise by issuing a single bond.

27,000,000/903=29,900.3 so 29,901

The company will have to issue 29,901 bonds of face value $1,000 to raise $27 million

I think the correct term to fill in the blank would be mix. A product mix is the all of the products or services lines being offered by a company. The cars, trucks, financing services and the like are all product lines that make up the product mix of Volvo.
