Answer:
Defragmenting the hard drive identifies areas on the hard drive that need to be fixed? <u>The answer is FALSE</u>.
Explanation:
When certain information are being removed from the hard drive, tiny gaps are usually being created which can be filled when we store new data. As the new data is being saved on our computer, they occupy those available spaces. When the gaps are not large enough for the files, they get stored in other available areas. This makes the entire files to be scattered and the process is called fragmentation.
In defragmentation, the system is being asked to put all these scattered information in one area of the file, so that it could be easier for one to access them faster. It does not identify areas on the hard drive that needs to be fixed.
Check Disk (chkdsk.exe), rather helps with scanning through the entire hard drive, to find and fix errors.
Answer:
The appropriate solution will be the "establishment" stage.
Explanation:
- The establishment stage throughout professional advancement or career progress is the time where someone who starts to pursue jobs and receives one's first assignment.
- Thus, during that point, the candidate goes through all the induction process, the acknowledgment of a position as well as the accommodation of the particular organization.
So that Sarah's profession has been at the level of the establishment.
Answer: "The rise in the price of a pair of running shoes will increase the supply of running shoes".
This statement is <u><em> false</em></u> because <em><u>a decrease in demand for running shoes does not increase the price of a pair of running shoes and an increase in the price of a pair of running shoes does not increase the supply of running shoes. </u></em>
This occurs as the price of a pair of running shoes increases,therefore decreasing the demand and thus the supply will not increase.
Answer:
The answer is B. standardized products
Explanation:
Monopolistic Competition has the following characteristics :
1. There large numbers of buyers and sellers
2. The products offered by sellers are close substitutes for the products offered by another seller.
3. The costs associated with entry and exit are low.
4. Sellers differentiate their products through advertising, branding etc.
Know that the most distinguishable factor in this market is product differentiation or standardized products.
The extent to which the seller is successful in product differentiation determines pricing power in the market.
The demand curve in this market is downward sloping i.e increase in price will lead to decrease in quantity demanded. This market is similar to perfectly competitive market.
The economic profit will fall to zero in the long run because the entry costs are not high.
Answer:
$81.52
Explanation:
The current share price is the present value of future dividends as well as the present value of the terminal value of dividends beyond year 6 as shown thus:
Current dividend=$3.95
Year 1 dividend=$3.95*(1+5%)=$4.15
Year 2 dividend=$4.15*(1+5%)=$4.36
Year 3 dividend=$4.36*(1+5%)=$4.58
The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the FIRST 3 years above is 14%
Year 4 dividend=$4.58*(1+5%)=$4.81
Year 5 dividend=$4.81*(1+5%)=$5.05
Year 6 dividend=$5.05*(1+5%)=$5.30
The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the NEXT 3 years above is 12%
Terminal value of dividend=Year 6 dividend*(1+growth rate)/(rate of return-growth rate)
growth rate=5%
rate of return=10%(rate of return thereafter)
terminal value=$5.30*(1+5%)/(10%-5%)
terminal value=$111.30
current share price=$4.15/(1+14%)+$4.36/(1+14%)^2+$4.58/(1+14%)^3+$4.81/(1+12%)^4+$5.05/(1+12%)^5+$5.30/(1+12%)^6+$111.30/(1+10%)^6
current share price=$81.52
