Answer and Explanation:
I will use Apple and HP in this comparison.Here I would compare Apple's laptop to that of Hewlet Packard as this is where they meet in the industry. Apple employs a strategy of differentiation and standing out in competition through their products. They aim to create products that are quite different and unique/innovative from other products in the market, and yet what the customer wants. In doing this, Apple has a trade-off for cost as they charge alot higher for their products than their competitors. HP on the other hand focus on making the best possible products that get the job done/meet the needs of customers while also being affordable. HP is more focused on affordable devices for their market and therefore have a different market segment for laptops from that of Apple. There is a trade-off for cost and market segment in this comparison

- Callable in 20 years at par
This bond is considered as premium bond. Therefore, in case of premium bonds, Yield to call will be lower than the yield to maturity. Here, the question is which call date should be utilized. According to the rule of thumb, it states that always use the term that is nearest to the whole call date.
Hence, on the customer's confirmation, the dollar price quoted must be based on 10 years to call.
