Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": competitive barrier.

Explanation:

Competitive barriers represent obstacles for a business to start operations based on what other companies are already providing to the market. The settled companies -competitors- tend to have a preference and market share obtained through years of operations which is a threat for a new company that is looking for attracting consumers.

<span>A flaw in the governor's reasoning is that a lot of people in that age bracket who are already juvenile delinquents aren't going to stop doing bad things just because they might get paid more at a job. Those people may just not want to have a job and would rather enjoy their youth causing trouble before they have to "settle" into a career.</span>

Imagine that you are a consultant, and have been hired by Rosewell's board of directors to examine decision making within the fi

poizon [28]

Explanation:

Executive Information System (EIS) is a specialised form of decision making support system designed to give management level employees background information on topics both internal and external to the company. Using this information, they are then guided by the governance policies and standard operating procedures of the company in the decisions they need to make, considering environmental factors, availability of resources and time constraints. The Information Systems models contain routine and special statistical, financial, and other quantitative analysis.

According to Computer Business Research, “the focus on Executive Information Systems is on easy to use user interfaces and graphical displays. The benefits of this is that they offer strong reports and drill down capabilities. Executive Information Systems are important because they help top-level executives analyze, compare and highlight trends in important areas so they can monitor performance and identify opportunities and problems. Over recent years however, the popularity of Executive Information Systems has decreased due to Business Intelligence, analytic(s), and digital dashboards.”

Steps followed in implementing EIS

1. Undertake research – the consultant has to find out what is applicable to the company specifically, looking at the company size, its resources, and other factors that affect information systems.

2. Compare and benchmark with best practices globally, regionally and locally.

3. Procure and/or Install the EIS.

4. Check if it is operating effectively. Also train the end users on how to make efficient use of the information system.

5. Keep monitoring and evaluating the system

Answer:

a. Tuition and housing costs today = $65,000 per year

Inflation rate = 4%

Tuition and housing costs in 13 years = 65,000 * (1 + 0.04)^13

Tuition and housing costs in 13 years = $108,229.78

b. Amount to be in the savings account can be calculated using the present value of a growing annuity due formula

After tax rate of return = 10 * (1 - 0.3) = 7%, Growth rate = 4%, Number of year = 4

PV = P x (1 + r) * [1 - (1 + g)^n * (1 + r)^-n] / (r - g)

PV = 108,229.78 * (1 + 0.07) * [1 - (1 + 0.04)^4 * (1 + 0.07)^-4] / (0.07 - 0.04)

PV = $415,050.16

c. Amount of the first payment can be calculated using FV of a growing annuity

FV = $415,050.16, Number of years = 13, Growth rate = 2%, Rate of return = 10%

FV = P * [(1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n] / (r - g)

415,050.16 = P * [(1 + 0.07)^13 - (1 + 0.02)^13] / (0.07 - 0.02)

P = $18,591.47

d. If the investments are tax free, the rate of return = 10%

Amount to be in the savings account = PV = P * (1 + r) * [1 - (1 + g)^n * (1 + r)^-n] / (r - g)

= 108,229.78 * (1 + 0.1) * [1 - (1 + 0.04)^4 * (1 + 0.1)^-4] / (0.1 - 0.04)

= $398,768.92

FV = P * [(1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n] / (r - g)

398,768.92 = P * [(1 + 0.1)^13 - (1 + 0.02)^13] / (0.1 - 0.02)

P = $14,778.36

lara [203]

Answer:

Assuming that the elimination of frequent-flyer programs would have enabled the airlines to earn higher profits and remain in business, then it would be a purely good idea for the airlines to eliminate their frequent-flyer programs.

The big question is, how much did the frequent-flyer programs cost the airlines? Would the cost-savings be sufficient to eliminate their bankruptcies? It is a known-fact that the airlines that create such programs always recover the program costs by charging higher fares.

Explanation:

The issue of airlines going bankruptcy does not seem to stem from customer-loyalty programs like the frequent-flyer programs. The root cause lies in operational and other costs that airline managements have not been able to control.
