Explanation:
The biggest challenges facing Apple today may lie in its biggest marketing construction: its brand.
The Iphone has become a world reference in cell phones with advanced technology and differentiated features. The success of the Apple operating system, the IOS and the latest generation device configured an expressive recipe that configured the company in the world ranking of technological companies in the world.
However, despite being a favorable condition for organizational success, the brand operates with a programmed obsolescence system for its iphones to launch new versions with minor changes for users, such as adding a camera or changes to the design of the device, what constitutes an internal weakness of the company.
An external threat to the company is Chinese competing companies, such as Huawei, which has been growing more and more in the world market offering products as functional and technological as the Iphone.
For Apple to be able to transform weaknesses into strengths and threats into opportunities, it is necessary for the company to use all the added value of its consolidated brand to rethink marketing strategies and offer exclusive advantages to encourage consumers to change their devices newer versions that offer greater differentials and benefits.
Answer:
EAC of Machine A is $6,788.64
EAC of Machine B is $6,094.62
We should purchase Machine B because of its ]lower EAC
Explanation:
Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC) = (Asset price x discount rate)/(1-(1+discount rate)^(-n))), in which n is the number of year for usage of asset.
EAC of Machine A is $6,788.64 = ($15,500x15%)/(1-(1+15%)^(-3))
EAC of Machine B is $6,094.62 = ($17,400x15%)/(1-(1+15%)^(-4))
Population - 50,000
Employed - 45,000
Students not looking for work - 1,000
To calculate Boone's unemployment rate you'll use the formula:
Unemployment rate = number of people unemployed / labor force
Those that fall into the unemployment category are those that are not working but are actively looking/wanting to work. Students, stay-at-home moms etc that are not wanting to work, though unemployed, to not fall into this category.
The labor force is made up of everyone willing and able to work.
First, let's subtract the students who are not looking for work from the population so get the labor force. 50,000 - 1,000 = 49,000 (labor force)
Next, to get the number of people unemployed let us subtract the labor force of 49,000 by those already employed of 45,000. 49,000 - 45,000 = 4,000
Finally, we are able to calculate the unemployment rate of Boone.
Unemployment rate = number of people unemployed / labor force
Unemployment rate = 4,000/49,000= .081 multiply by 100 to get the percentage. 8.1%
Unemployment rate of Boone is 8.1%

Explanation:
My E-Commerce business has two main decision-makers. As a team, we had a budget of $1000 USD which we decided to use on marketing. We ultimately decided on placing banner ads on 2 popular sites that matched our products. Doing this we missed out on other opportunity costs such as adding another product line and marketing sample products to popular influencers. Both of which should have been considered because they could have just as easily brought as many or even more customers than having placed the ads.
