Answer:

The financial advantage over option 2 is $ 20 000 and $ 60 000 in total sales value.

Explanation:

The company has 2 options for the obsolete desk calculators. They can either upgrade them or sell them as they are. We need to compare the 2 options to evaluate their advantage or disadvantage.

To upgrade the calculators we need to spend $200000. However we will then be able to sell the calculators for $260000. This equates to a $60 000 gain

Under option 2 we will just sell the calculators as is for $ 40 000.

Option 1 is the better option. The financial advantage over option 2 is thus $ 20 000 and $ 60 000 in total.

The following is an example of the reasoning of a rule utilitarian:
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option B: False.

Explanation:

To begin with, the concept of <em>"Rule Utilitarism"</em> refers to a type of utilitarism in where the main characteristic is in the belief that an action is right when it conforms to a rule that leads to the greatest good. Therefore that under this type of ideology, the utilitarians believe that an action would be right when the amount of good that it brings is greater than the action itself. And that is why that for an utilitarian to steal would not be wrong in the case that a greater good would come afterwards for the majority, so that means, better consequences.

If a firm offers a service that is valuable, rare, and costly to imitate, but a substitute exists for the service, the firm will
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

c. have a temporary competitive advantage

Explanation:

In this case, it is correct to say that the company has a temporary competitive advantage, as there is a substitute for its valuable, rare and expensive service to imitate.

The company gained a competitive advantage in the market for being the only one to offer that service, which by the attributes confer barriers of entry for new competitors, but when there is a substitute for the service and that have the same characteristics, it is correct to say that the company it will lose its competitive advantage in a matter of time, because with more competitors in the market it is common for there to be some loss of market share, so in this case it is ideal for the company to adapt and seek new attributes to innovate, generate more value for consumers and so seek a differential that will guarantee you a higher position in the market.

Imagine a linear demand curve graphed with Quantity on the x-axis and Price on the y-axis. We know the middle of the curve is th
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

A. That's the point where total revenue is maximized

Explanation:

Demand Curve is a downward sloping curve representing inverse  relationship between price & quantity demanded.

Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price change. It can be measured geometrically on a demand curve point by :

Demand curve segment below the point / Demand curve segment above the point.

This way the elasticity keeps on decreasing as we move downwards on the demand curve [Ed=∞ to Ed >1 to Ed = 1 to Ed < 1 to Ed = 0] i.e [from perfectly elastic to elastic to unitary elastic to inelastic to perfectly inelastic demand].

If Demand is Elastic [Ed >1] : There is negative relationship between price and Total Revenue. This point is on the upper segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P- TR negative relationship implies that TR can be increased by decreasing Price.

If Demand is Inelastic [Ed <1] : There is positive relationship between price &total revenue. This point is on the lower segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P-TR positive relationship implies that TR can be increased by increasing price.

So: The best Total Revenue Maximising point is on the middle of demand curve where demand is unitary elastic [Ed=1] - as any other deviation from this point would create an incentive to change price to generate higher revenue.
