Answer:
Brand Competition
Explanation:
Brand Competition arises when two or more different companies offer a similar product, under a different brand. The products are similar, but not fully substitutes: they can be distinguished in some way: quality, features, price, and so on.
In this case, what makes the Ford Mustang and the Audi R8 is the price. The Ford brand is significantly cheaper than the Audi brand, which might give Ford the upper hand in market share. However, this is not always the case because the Audi car could have the upper hand when it comes to quality, and obtain more marke share because of that.
In order to properly tackle this problem, we must understand the relationship between the nominal annual rate and real (effective) annual rate.
To do this:
-First you take the nominal rate, divide by the number of times it's compounded (converted) per year.
-Then, add one to that number, and raise that number to the power of how many times you compound per year.
Here is the method in practice:
First 3 Years:
Nominal rate= 2% ÷ 12 times/yr = 0.001667
Effective rate = 1.001667 ^12 = 1.020184
Next 2 Years (Discounting)
3% ÷ 2/yr = .015
1.015 ^ 2 = 1.061364
Next 4 years (Interest)
.042 ÷ .5 (once every 2 years) = .084
1.084 ^ (1/2) = 1.041153
The last 3 years are already expressed as an effective rate, so we don't need to convert them. The annual rate is:
1.058
I kept the 1 in the numbers (1.058 instead of 5.8% for example) so that it's easier to find the final number
Take every relevant number and raise it to the power of the number of years it's compounded for. For discounting, raise it to a negative power.
First 3 years: 1.020184 ^ 3 = 1.061784
Next 2 years: 1.030225 ^ -2 = .942184
Next 4 years: 1.041163 ^ 4 = 1.175056
Last 3 years: 1.058 ^ -3 = .84439
Multiply these numbers (include all decimals when you do this calculation)
1.062 * .942 * 1.175 * .844 = .992598
This is our final multiplier to find the effect on our principal:
.992598 * 2,480 = 2461.64
Answer is 2461.64

Answer:
The standardized metric of output used to gauge the size and market potential of an economy is the Gross Domestic Product.
Explanation:
The Gross Domestic Product is the value of goods and services that are
produced in a country in a certain time and it is consider an important indicator to analyze the state of a country's economy. The value of the goods and services produced is considered the size of the economy.
Also, as the GDP is an indicator of how the economy is doing, businesses tend to use it to predict if the sector will grow or not.
