kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is a) the inflation differential.

Explanation:

Inflation differential is the difference we can find between two countries in exchange rates. The inflation differential can produce losses for the company if, in the country you want to buy, there is a big difference in your exchange rate, since this raises the prices of the product. As a result, the company has a loss; it can also happen if It is a case of exports.

If the inflation differential is maintained for an extended period, it can cause loss of competitiveness, since the profit margin of the products would be affected.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Regarding to Claim to income, the correct answer would be C-Bottom

Explanation:

Shareholders can be preferred or common and they have differents claims to income.  Generally, preferred stock will be given preference in assets to common assets in case of company liquidation, nonetheless both will fall behind bondholders if asset distribution happen. If bankruptcy happen, common stock investors will receive any remaining funds after bondholders,  then creditors and preferred stockholders are paid. That's why these investors often receive nothing after a bankruptcy. Preferred stock also has the first right to receive dividends. In general, common stock shareholders will not receive dividends until it is paid out to preferred shareholders, and that happen because they are at the bottom of the pyramid.

Using examples explain what inputs eBay might be using in conducting its business . What are eBay outputs ?
lawyer [7]
Typically, a simple way to think of an input is anything that costs money. These can be both good and bad things. A simple example would be: if I had a machine that made candy: my inputs would be the energy required to run the machine, the person required to work the machine, and the ingredients I had to put in to make the candy. My outputs might be the candy the machine made and the happiness it gave to people who ate it. A negative output might be that it made people unhealthy. 

As an internet company eBay does not have many of the typical inputs of doing business. For example, it does NOT have the cost of physical stores nor does it have the cost of depreciating inventory or any machines. For eBay, some examples of inputs would be it's people such as software engineers, marketing team, and executive staff. All overhead such as office space and the electricity to power its office space would be another example. Other examples could include the physical code behind eBay's software and money used to finance the company, and the data warehouses used to store everything. 

Outputs can be thought of as the value a company creates. eBay's outputs are also somewhat atypical. eBay does not create a physical product that they then sell so that makes this a challenging question. You could argue that eBay's store or its platform is an output. All the data it produces as a company is an output and has a lot of value. Since eBay allows people across the world to open up their own store online, you could say it's creating the social good of jobs or entrepreneurship "global employment" through this action (eBay has supported this publicly as well so you could look up more about it on Google). Another output could be eBay stores created by sellers. eBay owns PayPal so if you can think of any related to PayPal you could include those as well and cite that eBay owns the company. 

Hope that helps

A company manufactures and sells x smartphones per week. The weekly price-demand and cost equations are p=500−0.5x and C(x)=20,0
suter [353]

Answer:

a)

revenue = x amount of phones x price

revenue = x(500 - 0.5x)

revenue = 500x - 0.5x²

we find revenue' (derivative):

revenue' = 500 - x

x = 500

the company should sell 500 smartphones to maximize revenue, the selling price = 500 - (0.5 x 500) = $250 per smartphone. Maximum weekly revenue = $250 x 500 = $125,000

b)

profit = revenue - cost

profit = 500x - 0.5x²  - 20,000 - 135x

profit = -0.5x² + 365x - 20,000

we must find profit' (derivative):

profit' = -x + 365

x = 365

In order to maximize profits, you have to sell 365 smartphones per week. Maximum weekly profit = -0.5(365²) + 365(365) - 20,000 = -66,612.50 + 133,225 - 20,000 = $46,612.50.

The smartphone's price = 500 - (0.5 x 365) = $317.50
