Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Individual Cost Shares to be enjoyed

Mabel $10,000 10000 / 150000 = 6.67%

Gertrude $20000 20000 / 150000 = 13.3%

Myron $30000 30000 / 150000 = 20%

Wilber $40000 40000 / 150000 = 26.6%

You $50000 50000 / 150000 = 33.3%

Explanation:

peaked preferences

Most preferred value to spend :

Mabel = $10,000

Gertrude = $20,000

Myron = $30,000

Wilber = $40,000

you = $50,000

cost of Condo = $150,000

<u>Implementing a Uniform rule mechanism to allocate costs and shares </u>

The uniform rule ; ∑ j∈I Uj (p) = Ω.

where Ω = fixed amount of resource

hence the summation of all allotment should = Ω ( $150,000 )

Number of friends = 5

cost of condo = $150,000

If divide equally each person will have to pay ; $150,000 / 5 = $30,000

Total money to be spent by friends = 10,000 + 20,000 + 30,000 + 40,000 + 50,000 = $150,000

Individual Cost shares to be enjoyed

Mabel $10,000 10000 / 150000 = 6.67∑%

Gertrude $20000 20000 / 150000 = 13.3%

Myron $30000 30000 / 150000 = 20%

Wilber $40000 40000 / 150000 = 26.6%

You $50000 50000 / 150000 = 33.3%

∑shares ≈ 100% ( 150,000 )

Answer:

D. dispersing its activities among various countries in a manner that lowers costs or else helps achieve greater product differentiation and transferring competitively valuable competencies and capabilities from its domestic operations to its operations in foreign markets

Explanation:

A key condition that makes a firm achieve competitive advantage or a favourable business position is it's costs and product design.

If a firm can lower it's cost in a foreign market while also maintaining quality just as it is has done in it's domestic market then it stands a better chance of success.

For example, if a firm in the clothing line industry decides to expand its operations to a foreign market eg Africa.

A key factor in determining its success is its ability to lower its cost in the foreign market as compared to competitors, while also achieving the same quality standards of products.

melomori [17]

Answer:

D. Project A has a standard deviation of expected returns of 20%, while Project B's standard deviation is only 10%. A's returns are negatively correlated with both the firm's other assets and the returns on most stocks in the economy, while B's returns are positively correlated. Therefore, Project A is less risky to a firm and should be evaluated with a lower cost of capital.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

$70,000

Explanation:

Under a Comparative negligence theory,

When an accident occurs, the blame or fault is determined by the contributions of each party towards the accident.

In a pure comparative negligence theory, the victim or plaintiff who files a case, sue the other party and received some part of the damages and hence each party receives the amount related to their damages minus the part of their fault.

In our case, Annette fault contributes 30% to the collision and determined that her total loss was $100,000.

So, Annette will recover:

= Total loss - 30% of fault

= $100,000 - 0.3 × $100,000

= $100,000 - $30,000

= $70,000

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Hence, the correct answer is the cost of a "Cell phone." Which doesn't concern the school whether a student has or not.
