Before introducing yourself, it is imperative that you fully inform yourself about the two cases to be discussed, and what the effects of each have on the organization. It is also important to make a hypothetical situation of each case and to observe probable causes and effects that will assist in creating the probable scenario and in decision making.
Answer:
The desired inventory levels of the product.
Explanation:
The desired inventory levels doesn't have anything to do with the fact that a product should be discontinued or not since it doesn't have any impact on the demand or price for remaining products.
The inventory level of a product can be changed or adjusted several times during a year depending on the expected sales. Sometimes very successful products have very seasonal sales, e.g. toys that are sold more on Christmas than any other time of the year.
Answer: A) several substitutes; necessity; loyal Coca-Cola customers
Explanation:
SEVERAL SUBSTITUTES
Substitute goods are goods that are similar and so can be used in place of the other. Generally when the price of a good with a substitute increases, people switch to their substitutes if their price remain the same. The demand for vanilla coke dropped when it's prices rose signifying that people switched to the substitutes.
NECESSITY GOODS
These are also known as normal goods and increase in relation to income. That is if income increases, they increase as well but at a lower rate. Since we are assuming that the income of coke loyalists did not change but rather the prices rose and the demand reduced at a rate less than the increase in price we can safely assume that vanilla coke is a necessary good to Coca-Cola loyalists.
LOYAL COCA-COLA CUSTOMERS
Because the reduction in demand for Vanilla coke amongst Coca-Cola loyalists is less than the increase in price as opposed to the general public where the reduction in demand is more than the increase in price, we can say that an increase in total revenue is only coming from the loyal coke customers.

Answer:
I) The firm will reject good low-risk projects
II) The firm will accept poor high-risk projects
Explanation:
<h2>Cost of Capital:</h2>
- The required return on the existing firm assets. It is based on the risk of assets.
- The risk of firm’s overall assets is equal to the weighted average risks of firm’s debt, preferred stock and common equity.
- The cost of capital of a firm equals the weighted average of the cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock, and the cost of common equity
Each project has different risk profiles, using one cost of capital for project evaluation might provide misleading results and the investor or company may end up accepting high risk projects or may reject low risk good projects.
