Answer: why, to ward off threat from their competitors. Why not, they should avoid unholy competition fair practices and exhibit only those practices that are capable of sustaining perfect competition.

Explanation:

Courier service : This is a service provided by a private postal organizations that specializes in fast, quick delivery of mail's, parcels for people,. FedEx is an American multinational company that specializes in the provisions of these services both local and around the world. Their services ranges from the provisions of quick delivery of mail's and parcels to their destinations promptly, ensure that their customers goods or parcels are delivered safely to their destinations that is their is no loss of goods in transit, they also provides extended hours of services to their customers. In addition, they also insure the goods or parcels with the insurance company in order to provide an insurance cover for the goods or parcels in case of loss.

The competitors are the firms operating within the same industry and providing similar or substitute product or services. The aim of every competitors in the market is to gain the largest share of the market. The competitors want to become the market leader. The question now is why or why not, to answer the question of why, the competitors should imitate the approach of their competitors in order to learn about the operations of their competitors with a view to ward off whatever threat that may come from them.they can do these by looking at the competitors product packaging, pricing policies, Discount structures, promotional and distribution strategies. All these need to be well understood. The knowledge of these would help the organization to understand and respond positively to pressures from their competitors. For instance, if their competitors has been making use of advertising, the firm should consider other alternatives such as promotion or publicity.

To answer the question of why not, a firm should not imitate the approach of FedEx in the international market and take market share away from the company, because a firm should avoid a reckless and damaging competition rather they should see one another as partners in progress. They should avoid an unholy competition fair practices, they should always exhibit only those practices that are capable of sustaining perfect competition.

Answer:

The current ratio is 1.18 times

Explanation:

Current Ratio: The current ratio is that ratio which shows a relationship between the current assets and the current liabilities

The computation of the current ratio is shown below

Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities

where,

Total current assets = Cash + short-term investments + net accounts receivable + merchandise inventory

=  $43,500 + $27,000 + $102,000 + $125,000

= $297,500

And, the total current liabilities is $251,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the ratio would equal to

= $297,500 ÷ $251,000

= 1.18 times

The long term note payable is not a current liabilities,hence it is not considered in the computation part.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer: -0.5

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the price elasticity of demand will be calculated as follows:

= dQ/dP × P/Q

where,

dQ/dP = -1

P = 100

Q = 200 – P + 25 U – 50 P beer

Q = 200 - 100 + 25(8) - 50(2)

Q = 200 - 100 + 200 - 100

Q = 200

Therefore, dQ/dP × P/Q

= -1 × (100/200)

= -1 × 1/2

= -1 × 0.5

= -0.5

The price elasticity of demand is -0.5.

ipn [44]

Answer:  false

Zolol [24]

Answer:

$152.4 million

Explanation:

The computation of the projected net income is shown below:

As we know that

Net income = (EBIT - interest) × (1 - tax rate)

where,

EBIT = Sales - operating cost

= $700 × 120% - ($700 × 120% × 65%)

= $840 - ($840 × 65%)

= $840 - $546

= $294

The interest expense and tax rate is $40 and 40%

So, the projected net income is

= ($294 - $40) × (1 - 40%)

= $152.4 million

We simply applied the above formula so that the projected net income could be come
