Early personal computer users remember the cumbersome, user-unfriendly "DOS" system. When Apple introduced System 1 and Microsoft introduced Windows, both of which were much easier to use, these new products diffused rapidly because of their relative advantage
.
Option A
<u>Explanation:
</u>
A product's dominance and market appeal over similar items. A competitive advantage is usually accomplished by giving better value to customers through either reducing prices or delivering added quality and service that justify higher costs.
That idea is based on consumer brand and product perceptions and does not necessarily reflect the actual characteristics of this product or service. The definition helps companies to consider that customers would choose to use this product or whether a rival would rather remain faithful to the already existing product.
Answer:
is the addition to total output due to the addition of the last unit of an input, holding all other inputs constant.
Explanation:
The marginal product of an input is the change in total output as a result of the change in output by 1 unit
For example, the table below is the total product of labour
amount of labour output
1 10
2 20
3 40
the marginal product of the 3rd worker = (40 - 20) / (3 - 2) = 20
marginal product of the second worker = (20 - 10) / (2 -1 ) = 10
Average output = total output / labour
Answer: $109,080; $145,920
Explanation:
Based on the information that have been provided in the question, the following can be gotten:
The amount for income tax expenses will be:
= 36% of $303,000
= 36/100 × $303,000
= 0.36 × $303,000
= $109,080
The net income will be:
Reported income = $303,000
Less income tax = $109,080
Less loss on discounted operation = $48,000
Net income = $145,920
Loss on discounted operation:
= $75,000 × (1 - 36%)
= $75,000 × (1 - 0.36)
= $75,000 × 0.64
= $48,000
Answer:
Per Chevron 3Q 2013 Filling:
The percentage change in the cost of purchased oil products nine months to September 30, 2013 when compared to nine months in 2012 was:
2.47%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of purchased oil products:
2013 $34,822,000,000
2012 $33,982,000,000
Change $840,000,000
Percentage Change = $840/$33,982 x 100
= 2.47%
b) The implication is that Chevron's cost of purchased oil products in third quarter of 2013 increased by 2.47% when compared with the same period in 2012. This percentage change is calculated by subtracting the Q3 2012 cost of purchased oil products from the Q3 2013 cost of purchased oil products and then dividing the difference by the Q3 2012, and multiplying by 100. The change could be caused by increases in the price of oil products or other variables.
Answer:
Opportunity cost
Explanation:
The opportunity cost Bob's brother Joe $20,000. Remember, the term Opportunity cost refers to the cost (loss in this context) incurred when one forgoes an alternative best option–holding them in a brokerage account, in place for a less beneficial one.
Thus, Bob chose the best alternative over his brother.
