(Two arguments that support IT) - 1: people will still continuing to vote or trade other countries, 2: people will get good wages with their trades. (Two arguments that do not support IT) - 1: upon their trades, they will get high taxes, 2: some people trades that was stolen from the society. In my opinion the world and the USA are usually similar, in fact USA will eventually hated the IT because the Russians and its friends and at Middle East still continuing and make an agreement to other neighbor countries and the worst part they are still continuing trading weapons, or parts of the nuclear weapon.
$1,130.28
Formula is A = P (1 + [r/n])^(nt)
A= 879 (1+ [.018/4])^(4*14)
A= 879 (1.0045)^56
A= $1,130.28
A = future total amount
P = principle (amount initially deposited)
r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
n = times that interest is compounded per year (quarterly is 4 times per year)
t = number of years
Answer: possible options:
A.growth market is to a differentiation-based strategy
B. broadly-defined target market is to a cost leadership strategy
C. growth market is to a cost-based strategy
D. technological innovation is to cost-based strategy
Answer is B
Explanation:
Companies that use a cost leadership strategy and those that use a differentiation strategy share one important characteristic: both groups try to be attractive to customers in general. These efforts to appeal to a broad range of consumers can be contrasted with strategies that involve targeting a relatively narrow niche of potential customers. These latter strategies are known as focus strategies (Porter, 1980).
Focused cost leadership is the first of two focus strategies. A focused cost leadership strategy requires competing based on price to target a NARROW MARKET. A firm that follows this strategy does not necessarily charge the lowest prices in the industry. Instead, it charges low prices relative to other firms that compete within the target market. For example, you might be able to buy milk cheaper by driving to a big-box grocery store in your local community or town, but the local corner store is the cheapest within walking distance. Redbox, a major DVD rental company, uses vending machines placed outside grocery stores and other retail outlets to rent DVDs of movies for $1. There are ways to view movies even cheaper, such as through the flat-fee streaming video subscriptions offered by Netflix. But among firms that rent actual DVDs, Redbox offers unparalleled levels of low price and high convenience.
The
gross margin ratio is also known as the gross profit margin or the gross profit
percentage.<span>
The gross margin ratio is computed by dividing the
company's gross profit dollars by its net sales dollars.</span>
swim department net sales--------------------- $1,150,000
cost of goods sold<span> -------------------------------- $638,400</span>
This means its gross profit is $511,600 (net sales of $1,150,000
minus its cost of goods sold of $638,400) and its gross margin ratio is 44%
(gross profit of $511,600 divided by net
sales of $1,150,000).
