Answer:

Going by the Ease of Doing Business ranking of 2020, prepared by the World Bank, which is perhaps the most reliable ranking to assess business risk in different countries.

Russia has a higher score in the ranking, which means that doing business is less risky there. Poland has particularly high risks in the starting a business category, which means that the mere act of starting the business in Poland might be a risky decision.

Russia has a high risk in trading accross borders, probably because the country is subject to several international sanctions.

If we go only by score, Russia has a higher score, so, as the CEO, you should probably invest there. However, you should avoid investing in Russian companies that try to export abroad, because of the high risks associated with trade in that country.

Contracts are a form of private law because the terms contained within a contract bind the relevant parties, not the public as a
sasho [114]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: True.

Explanation:

To begin with, the contracts inside the law are regulated by the Anglo-America common law that defines a contract as the agreement between two or more parties in which they establish the basis and principles of the agreement and the clauses that could cause to end the contract. Moreover, a contract is also part of the civil law and therefore that it does not implicate the public as a whole in any way due to the fact that in order to be a correct contract the parties must accept the bond between only them and nobody else.

Answer:

The options for this question are the following:

a. Star

b. Cash Cow

c. Question Mark

d. Dog

e. None of these

The correct answer is b. Cash Cow .

Explanation:

The cash cow is a metaphor for a cash cow that produces milk throughout its life and requires little maintenance. A cash cow is an example of a cash cow, since after the initial capital outlay has been paid, the cow continues to produce milk for many years. These cash generators can also use their money to repurchase shares in the market or pay dividends to shareholders.

A cash cow is a company or business unit in a mature, slow-growing industry. Milk cows have a large market share and require little investment. For example, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is considered a cash cow because it has established a well-defined niche in wireless gadgets. The different Apple product lines generate cash for other business lines at the beginning of their life cycle. On the contrary, a star is a company or business unit that operates in a high-growth industry. Question marks are the problematic son of the BCG shared growth matrix. They operate in high-growth markets and require capital to grow, but the probability of success is unknown. Dogs do not require much cash, but due to age, they tend to absorb large portions of capital.
