Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": The new product should deliver a meaningful and perceivable benefit to a sizable number of people.
Explanation:
A new product is a good or service that is going to be introduced to the market to satisfy the need for a specific sector. <em>For the new product to be successful, the need that it satisfies should represent a benefit for the target audience great enough to make them pay for it</em>. Besides, the new good or service must bring a differential feature to consider it more attractive compared to competitors or similar products that might already exist.

Answer:
Option C. The highest NPV is always the best option.
Explanation:
The reason is that IRR assumes that the reinvestment rate is also at IRR which is not a realistic assumption. The Net Present Value resolves this as it assumes that the reinvestment rate is cost of capital and hence is more better than IRR to appraise the project.
The decision rule in the Net present value method is that the project which has higher positive Net present value is regarded as best project among two mutually exclusive projects.
Answer:
1. B. 3.14
2. C. 1.12
Explanation:
1. Times Interest Earned ratio
Measures how well a company is able to cover it's debt obligations using it's earnings.
The formula is simply,
= Earning before Interest and Tax / Interest Expense
Therefore,
Times Interest Earned ratio = 116/37
= 3.14
HHF's times interest earned ratio is Option B, 3.14.
2. Debt to Equity Ratio
This ratio compares the debt used to fund a company vs it's equity. It measures how much of either way used to fund the company.
The formula is,
= Total Debt / Total Equity
= 540/484
= 1.12
HHF's Debt to Equity ratio is 1.12, Option C.
Answer:
D. When ITQs are used, no one has an incentive to cheat and exceed the quota.
Explanation:
As ITQs (individual transferable quotas) were initially created by the government to regulate an above all, social affair, which is related to the share in the total allowable catch of fish (species).
Since some of the fishermen have lower and some have higher marginal costs of "producing" fish, they trade ITQ's between themselves, with those who have high marginal costs selling ITQs to those that have low marginal costs. Also, the marginal private cost now becomes determined by the initial marginal private cost of the fish, plus the <u>price of the ITQ</u>. Then, it becomes known as the marginal social cost.
The equilibrium for the ITQ price is the difference between the <em>marginal social benefit</em> and the marginal cost. With the base marginal private cost becoming the marginal social cost, no one has the incentive to exceed the quota, as that would make the marginal cost go higher than the price, and the marginal profit lower. This notion creates the equality between self-interest and social interest.
