Answer:

Kodak missed the digital camera revolution that it started.

Explanation:

According to history, Kodak's Steve Sasson was the first to invent a digital camera prototype in 1975.

But, Kodak relied on its past successes to the extent that it could not see beyond its shoulders.  Kodak spotted digital technology opportunity in its business, but it lacked the foresight to sharpen its core competency so that it could redefine the market and its business from a film producing and selling company to one that gives consumers the opportunity to share images online.  It lacked the competency to understand the emerging needs of its customers and woefully failed to invest rightly in digital technology.

On the other hand, Fuji created new opportunities for itself that were related to its core business by branching into magnetic tape optics, videotape, copiers, and office automation.  As a result, it overtook Kodak in market share while Kodak submerged into bankruptcy, from which it later emerged stronger better than it was before the bankruptcy but smaller.

hammer [34]

Answer:

D. The marginal cost of light is zero, and by convention zero-priced goods and services are excluded from GDP

Explanation:

Only things that have a monetary cost are included in GDP. Things that do not cost "anything" in monetary terms are not included, and this is a major shortcoming of GDP.

From an ecological economics standpoint, things like sunlight, air, and water are often not valued and included in GDP. This is the same case as in the question, because the marginal cost of light is zero, then, it is not included in GDP.

Sierra offers to sell Alyssa a Scottish terrier puppy for $800. Alyssa and Sierra do not discuss the dog’s ancestry, but Alyssa
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Probably not, because Alyssa made a mistake about the dog's value, not a mistake about material fact.

Explanation:

When Sierra offered to sell the dog to Allysa, Allysa failed to discuss the ancestry of the puppy. She wrongly believed the dog came from a line of champions.

On finding out the dog is only worth $200, she will not be able to rescind the contract because the onus to ask all relevant questions about the purchase before accepting is on her.

She made the mistake of assuming the dog was worth $800. She made a mistake about the dog's value and not the material fact.

kumpel [21]
The job of the Federal Reserve System is to control the supply of money in the United States. Although it might seem like the Federal Reserve System prints the money as well, but this is in fact not true. The U.S. Treasury prints paper and coin currency and the Federal Reserve System distributes the money globally.
