Answer:
1) A bond of an Eastern European government
2) A bond that repays the principal in year 2040
3) A bond from a software company you run in your garage
4) A bond issued by the federal government
Explanation:
Term: Long-term bonds are riskier than short-term bonds because holders of long-term bonds have to wait longer for repayment of principal. To compensate for this risk, long-term bonds usually pay higher interest rates than short-term bonds.
Credit risk: When bond buyers perceive that the probability of default is high, they demand a higher interest rate as compensation for this risk.
Tax treatment: When state and local governments issue bonds, the bond owners are not required to pay federal income tax on the interest income. Because of this tax advantage, bonds issued by state and local governments typically pay a lower interest rate than bonds issued by corporations or the federal government.

Answer:
Products Selling price Unit variable cost
$ $
Junior 50 15
Adult 75 25
Expert <u>110 </u> <u> 60</u>
Total <u> 235 </u> <u> 100</u>
The sales price per composite unit = $235
The contribution margin per composite unit
= Composite selling price - Composite unit variable cost
= $235 - $100
= $135
Break-even point in units
= <u>Fixed cost</u>
Contribution per unit
= <u>$114,750</u>
$135
= 850 units
Break-even point in dollars
= Break-even point in units x Composite selling price
= 850 units x $235
= $199,750

Total contribution ($135 x 850 units) 114,750
Less: Fixed cost <u>114,750</u>
Net profit <u> 0</u>
Explanation:
Sales price per composite unit is the aggregate of all the selling prices.
Contribution margin per composite unit equals composite selling price minus composite unit variable cost.
Break-even point in units is fixed cost divided per composite contribution margin per unit.
Break-even point in dollars equal break-even point in units multiplied by selling price.
Income statement is prepared by deducting the total fixed cost from the total contribution.
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.
Answer:
A) leveraging new core competencies to improve current market position.
Explanation:
As is given in the scenario, the people that the company Ancho is trying to get are <em>potential customers</em> rather than existing, hence they cannot be said to be building new core competencies <em>to protect and extend current market position</em>. That would have been the case if they were trying to keep those that were already customers to the company.
Ancho cannot also be said to be <em>redeploying existing core competencies to compete in future markets </em>because they are actually acquiring new competencies in electric car manufacturing which was not their original line of business.
There is also no case of <em>unlearning existing core competencies </em>because Anchor has deployed existing competencies in developing a hybrid car rather than just an electric one.
Hence Anchor is trying to get new customers while keeping the old ones and has made a car that will appeal to both existing and potential customers to improve current market position.
