Answer:
Gillette in India
The failure of the Vector was caused by the fact that Indian men have longer and thicker hair, which the lack of earlier research in the targeted demographic segment did not discover.
Explanation:
Since Indian men have longer and thicker hair than the local consumers of Gillette's razor products in America, an earlier research would have uncovered the fact. Thereafter, the discovery would have been incorporated into the design and production of Vector for the Indian market.

Answer:
Total cost= $350,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
For Gundy Company, units to be produced are 5,280 in quarter 1 and 6,400 in quarter 2. It takes 2.0 hours to make a finished unit, and the expected hourly wage rate is $15 per hour.
Quarter 1:
Direct labor cost= 5,280*2= 10,560 hours

Total cost= (10,560 + 12,800)*15= $350,400
Answer:
Real GDP will rise by $100 million
Explanation:
Aggregate Demand [AD] is total amount of goods & services, all sectors of an economy are planning to buy . So AD = Aggregate Planned Expenditure [APE]
Aggregate Supply [AS] is total amount of goods & services, all sellers are planning to sell. As total output value of goods & services produced is distributed among factors of production, AS = National Income [NY] = GDP
At equilibrium : AD or APE = AS or NY or GDP
If AD or APE increases by $100 million :
AD or APE > AS or Aggregate Planned Production or GDP . This implies willingess to buy > willingness to produce. So, inventory levels will fall below desired level. To mantain inventory level, production [AS] & income level [GDP] will rise till it becomes equal to risen AD or APE
So, GDP will also rise by $100 million
