Answer:
C - larger; smaller
Explanation:
Marginal effects usually determine the change in a dependent variable (overall medical spending) based on a change in another variable that affects the dependent one (Spending on preventative care), all things remaining the same. If spending on preventative care is high, the overall medical bill should be low, assuming treatment costs, labor costs of health workers and all other factors are constant. If preventative care spending is low, the overall medical spending will be high.
The marginal effects of overall medical spending on health status is larger in the US. The marginal effects of preventative care spending on health is likely smaller than for overall spending.
Answer:
double declining balance method
Explanation:
Depreciation is an accounting tool to allocate the cost of a long-term asset over time. The reasoning behind is the matching principle. If we associate the entire purchase value at the very first moment, then, one accounting period is taking a hit for an asset that will be use over several accounting periods.
The double declining method applies a rate twice as the straight-line method.
This is applied at the carrying value of the assets (book value) every year for each year of useful life.
Explanation:
The long-running debate between the ‘rational design’ and ‘emergent process’ schools of strategy formation has involved caricatures of firms' strategic planning processes, but little empirical evidence of whether and how companies plan. Despite the presumption that environmental turbulence renders conventional strategic planning all but impossible, the evidence from the corporate sector suggests that reports of the demise of strategic planning are greatly exaggerated. The goal of this paper is to fill this empirical gap by describing the characteristics of the strategic planning systems of multinational, multibusiness companies faced with volatile, unpredictable business environments. In-depth case studies of the planning systems of eight of the world's largest oil companies identified fundamental changes in the nature and role of strategic planning since the end of the 1970s. The findings point to a possible reconciliation of ‘design’ and ‘process’ approaches to strategy formulation. The study pointed to a process of planned emergence in which strategic planning systems provided a mechanism for coordinating decentralized strategy formulation within a structure of demanding performance targets and clear corporate guidelines. The study shows that these planning systems fostered adaptation and responsiveness, but showed limited innovation and analytical sophistication

Answer:
D. Product Invention
Explanation:
KFC added many items in the menu list when they opened their restaurants at China. By doing this KFC tries to incorporate the local cuisine of Chinese foods into their menu.
In China, KFC invented a new dish and named it the "Dragon Twister". In this dish, it contains a chicken wrap with Peking duck sauce on it. It highly resembles the local food of China.
Thus KFC tries to promote and do marketing of its product in China by inventing new dishes which is similar to the local Chinese food and adding it to the menu list of KFC.
By this, Chinese people will be attracted towards KFC and will come to try their newly invented "Dragon Twister".
Thus, the answer is D. Product Invention.
