Tasya [4]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: differentation.

Explanation:

To begin with, the term <em>differentation</em> refers to the action from a company of <em>standing out</em> itself by the fact of <em>having or doing something that the other companies in the same industry might not have or do</em>. The principle focus of the differentation is to have an strategy and a system that encourage the company to standing out from the other in terms of productivity, or price or product, etc.

Secondly, it is understandable that in this case the generic strategy is differentation due to the fact that the company has<u><em> technoly development and inbound logistics which in both cases improve the work</em></u> of the company in its total making it stand out in comparison with the rest of the companies.

Answer:

1. the demand for exotic hardwoods : if the demand for the exotic hard woods is low, Ron would want to reduce his scale of production. As a result, they would reduce their demand for labour. If the demand for exotic hardwoods is high, they would increase their scale of production and increase their demand for labour

2. the price of exotic hardwoods : if the price of exotic hardwoods falls, the profit that would be made from selling exotic hardwoods would reduce. As a result, the firm would want to reduce their supply of exotic hardwoods. This would lead to a decrease in demand for labour. If on the other hand, the price of exotic hardwoods increases, to increase their profit, Ron would increase the production of exotic hardwoods and as a result increase its demand for labour

Explanation:

Ron's demand for workers is known as derived demand. Derived demand is when the demand for a good or service depends on the demand for another good or service

Deffense [45]

Answer:

<u>Requirement 1:</u> $257,000 Positive

<u>Requirement 2:</u> IRR is higher than 10%

Explanation:

<u>Requirement 1:</u>

We can use the following formula, to calculate the net present value of the project:

Net Present Value = Annual Cash Inflows * Annuity Factor - Investment

Here

Annual Cash Inflow is $500,000

r is 10%

n is the life of the project which is 20 years

Annuity factor = (1- (1+r)^-n)  / r   =  (1 - (1 + 10%)^-20) / 10%  = 8.514

Investment is $4,000,000

By putting values in the above equation, we have:

Net Present Value = $500,000 * 8.514 - $4,000,000

NPV = $257,000 Positive

<u>Requirement 2:</u>

Internal rate of return gives the required rate at which NPV is zero.

Since NPV is positive at 10%, IRR will be higher than 10%.

Always remember that, increase in the discount rate decreases the NPV and vice versa.

Suppose you invest $100,000 in a mutual fund for 10 years. The fund earns 6% pretax per year, makes no annual distributions (and
Setler [38]

Answer:

a) Fund         pre-tax Amount $  179,084.77

b) Funds       after-tax                     $  163,267.82

c) Dividends after-tax amount :     $  159,813.27

Explanation:

We calcuale the future value of the fund at 6% annual rate over a 10-years period:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 100,000.00

time 10.00

rate 0.06000

100000 \: (1+ 0.06)^{10} = Amount

Amount 179,084.77

after taxes, as this were held for a longer period will be considered long term gain and taxes at 20%:

179,084.77 - 100,000 = 79,084.77 capital long-term gain subject to taxation

79,084.77 * (1-0.20) = 63,267.82

Now we add the 100,000: 163,267.82

Alternative scenario:

6% less 20% dividends tax after-tax return on dividends:

0.06 x (1 - 0.2) = 0.048

We calcualte the future value using this rate:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 100,000.00

time 10.00

rate 0.04800

100000 \: (1+ 0.048)^{10} = Amount

Amount 159,813.27
