Answer:

The correct answer is E. In the face of strong competition from Amazon, Walmart's 2016 acquisition of Jet. com was driven by a strategic objective, such as reducing the number of strategic groups in the industry..

Explanation:

Walmart's purchase of Jet.com was purely and exclusively due to market strategy issues. Given the growth of Amazon, and in view of the digitization of consumption, Walmart decided to remove a medium-sized competitor like Jet.com from the market, that is, incorporating it into its business portfolio and making it a Walmart subsidiary. In this way, Walmart can carry out direct competition with Amazon, trying to prevent it from monopolizing the retail market.

Answer: the opportunity cost of $600

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Tina withdraws $20,000 from her money market account to start up her own house cleaning business and that over that time, the account would have earned 3 percent interest.

Rubio recently invested $20,000 (tax basis) in purchasing a limited partnership interest. His at-risk amount is $15,000. In addi
kati45 [8]

Answer:

$2,000

Explanation:

From the question, the initial tax basis of Rubio is $20,000.  

In a partnership, share of profit will increase the initial basis while share of loss will reduce it.  

As the share of Rubio in the limited partnership loss for the year is $22,000, it will make his tax basis to fall to zero because the loss of $22,000 is greater than his tax basis. The amount by which the loss is greater than his tax basis, i.e. $2,000 ($22,000 - $20,000) will be the loss that is allowed considering only the tax basis loss limitations.  

Therefore, $2,000 loss is allowed to be carried over due only to the tax basis loss limitation.

<u>Stock-out</u> cost

This cost incurred is known as stock out cost.

So, <em>even though Jeff Murrah, the sales manager, was delighted with the product's success, his excitement was overshadowed by the </em><u><em>stock out cost</em></u><em> his division would incur.</em>
