Answer:

The GDP of the island is  1,350 clam shells.

Explanation:

George and John produce fish, boars, and bananas in their two-person economy. Fish sell for 1 clamshell each, boars sell for 10 clamshells each, and bananas go for 5 clamshells per bunch.

In this economy, the GDP will be the value of final goods and services produced. Intermediate goods will not be included.  

Digging bait for fishing and the purchase of banana trees will not be included in the GDP.  

The GDP of the island in terms of clamshells will be  

= (300\times 1) + (5\times10)+(200\times5)

= 300 + 50 + 1,000

= 1,350 clam shells

Which of the following describes business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce purchases? Group of answer choices Customers bid on items
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Pricing can vary for each customer.

Explanation:

Under the B2B, the manufacturer sells its products directly to other businesses such as wholesalers or retailers and not the end consumers.

Hence, pricing can vary for each customer in a business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce purchases because companies that are engaged in B2B are able to improve their performance and cut down the costs of procurement for goods and services.

Business to business (B2B) markets differ from Business to consumers (B2C) markets because salespeople personally call on business customers to a far greater extent than they do consumers.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

low market growth, high relative market share

Explanation:

In 1970, Bruce D. Henderson created a certain growth-share matrix for the Boston Consulting group in which the cash cow was stated to be a company that operates in a slow-growing industry but with large market share.

Companies are known to love cash cows, reason being that they require minimal amount of money to maintain while the business on its own gives back much more money than one puts into it
