Answer:

Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%  

Explanation:

As per Interest Rate Parity Theory

Spot Rate : 1$ = 100

Forward Rate : 1 $ = 110

r = 9/12

As per interest rate parity, forward rate = Spot rate(1+Interest rate Japan)/(1+Interest rate US)

Forward rate = Spot rate *(1+ iD)/(1+iF)

110 / 100 = (1 + Japan Interest Rate * 9 /12)  / 1.01125

1.1 * 1.01125 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75

1.112375 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75

Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 1.112375 - 1

Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 0.112375

Japan Interest Rate = 0.112375 / 0.75

Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%

All of the following statements regarding brand loyalty are true except: Select one: a. the marketing costs of reaching loyal cu
evablogger [386]

Answer: the marketing costs of reaching loyal customers are typically very high

Explanation:

Brand loyalty is when a customer buys a product repeatedly from thesame company rather than buying a substitute from another company. Despite the efforts of the competitors to life them away, such customers are devoted to the product.

It should be noted that the marketing costs of reaching loyal customers are typically low. They hardly need any source of encouragement or advertisement to convince them to make their purchases.

A narrow market focus is to a differentiation-based strategy as a __________________. technological innovation is to a cost-base
olganol [36]

Answer: possible options:

A.growth market is to a differentiation-based strategy

B. broadly-defined target market is to a cost leadership strategy

C. growth market is to a cost-based strategy

D. technological innovation is to cost-based strategy

Answer is B

Explanation:

Companies that use a cost leadership strategy and those that use a differentiation strategy share one important characteristic: both groups try to be attractive to customers in general. These efforts to appeal to a broad range of consumers can be contrasted with strategies that involve targeting a relatively narrow niche of potential customers. These latter strategies are known as focus strategies (Porter, 1980).

Focused cost leadership is the first of two focus strategies. A focused cost leadership strategy requires competing based on price to target a NARROW MARKET. A firm that follows this strategy does not necessarily charge the lowest prices in the industry. Instead, it charges low prices relative to other firms that compete within the target market. For example, you might be able to buy milk cheaper by driving to a big-box grocery store in your local community or town, but the local corner store is the cheapest within walking distance. Redbox, a major DVD rental company, uses vending machines placed outside grocery stores and other retail outlets to rent DVDs of movies for $1. There are ways to view movies even cheaper, such as through the flat-fee streaming video subscriptions offered by Netflix. But among firms that rent actual DVDs, Redbox offers unparalleled levels of low price and high convenience.

wgu A real estate agent representing the buyer tells the seller that the buyer would be willing to pay much more than the asking
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is Duty of loyalty.

Explanation:

The corporate sphere bears an important analogy with the contractual one, in the sense that in both the agreements of the parties and the provisions of the law must be fulfilled, that is, there is a duty of loyalty of the partners and a duty of loyalty of the administrators. However, any action carried out by a subject, over and above private covenants or regulatory provisions, must follow a standard of conduct that imposes a certain ethical behavior in legal relationships, that of good faith.

Therefore, and without delving into the normative level, noting that behaving under the strict principle of good faith with society would be the partner's main duty. Here it is possible to know the concrete scope of this principle as a source of special duties for the parties in the corporate sphere. Thus, a duty-generating principle is derived from it: cooperation, information and protection.
