At the end of that time, participants were asked to a focus group session in which they were encouraged to elaborate on their usage experiences.

Answer:

4) Problem analysis

Explanation:

Problem analysis refers to a method of investigating consumer needs under certain complex conditions. It is carried out in order to improve systems, processes and designs.

In this scenario, Sony was offering an extremely disruptive product which wasn't very user friendly but as we all know had a huge potential. Sony's original digital camera was very large, huge compared to normal cameras that used film. It was also very slow and it wasn't very good at taking pictures. Is main advantage was that it used 3¹/₂ floppy disk instead of film.

I'm not sure but I believe it could store around 10-12 pictures and then you had to use another disk. Finally people could start to take a lot of pictures without having to worry about high printing costs. My family had the final commercial product, and if that was the good product, I imagine that those that participated in the product analysis probably had to use and work with something slightly worse.

The​ short-run aggregate supply curve slopes upward because of all of the following reasons except
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

B) in the short run, an unexpected change in the price of an important resource can change the cost to firms.

Explanation:

The short run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve is upward sloping because as the price of goods and services increases, the quantity supplied will increase. In the short run, wages are more sticky than prices, and businesses can adjust prices more rapidly than employees can get a raise. This will result in businesses increasing their profit margins as the general level of prices increases, therefore the SRAS curve will be upward sloping.

An unexpected change in the price of a key input will shift the entire SRAS curve either to the right (price of key input decreases) or to the left (price of key input increases).

Bruin, Inc., has identified the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B) 0 –$ 37,500 –$ 37,50
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Year             Cash Flow (A)            Cash Flow (B)

0                      -37,500                      -37,500

1                         17,300                         5,700

2                        16,200                       12,900

3                        13,800                       16,300

4                         7,600                       27,500

1) Using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function:

IRR project A = 20%

IRR project B = 19%

2) Using the IRR decision rule, Bruin should choose project A.

3) In this case, since the length of the projects is only 4 years, then there should be no problem with the IRR decision rule, but for projects with longer time lengths, the discounts rates might vary and the best option is to use the modified internal rate of return (MIRR). But in this case the NPV of project B is higher, then Bruin should probably project B because it has a higher NPV. The NPV is always more important then the IRR.

4) Again using an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function:

NPV project A = $6,331

NPV project B = $8,139

5) first we must subtract cash flows from A by the  cash flows from B:

1      $11,600

2     $3,300

3    -$2,500

4   -$19,900

then we calculate the IRR = 16%

Bruin should be indifferent between the two projects at a 16% discount rate. That means that at discount rates above 16%, you should choose project A, but at discount rates below 16%, you should choose project B
