Answer:
$1,068.02
Explanation:
For computing the selling price of the bond we need to use the Future value formula or function i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 10% ÷ 2 = 5%
NPER = 3 years × 2 = 6 years
PMT = $1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40
The formula is shown below:
= FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;-PV;type)
The present value comes in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the selling price of the bond is $1,068.02
Answer:
$4.50
Explanation:
The sunk cost is the cost that has been incurred and is unrecoverable in the process of taking a financing decision.
If the cost of a coffee cup from a local gas station cost $5.00 and the cost of refill is $0.50, the coffee is the actual element needed and from the refill, it can be estimated that it costs $0.50.
Hence the sunk or unrecoverable cost is the difference between the coffee cup and the refill cost
= $5.00 - $0.50
= $4.50
Answer:
A) leveraging new core competencies to improve current market position.
Explanation:
As is given in the scenario, the people that the company Ancho is trying to get are <em>potential customers</em> rather than existing, hence they cannot be said to be building new core competencies <em>to protect and extend current market position</em>. That would have been the case if they were trying to keep those that were already customers to the company.
Ancho cannot also be said to be <em>redeploying existing core competencies to compete in future markets </em>because they are actually acquiring new competencies in electric car manufacturing which was not their original line of business.
There is also no case of <em>unlearning existing core competencies </em>because Anchor has deployed existing competencies in developing a hybrid car rather than just an electric one.
Hence Anchor is trying to get new customers while keeping the old ones and has made a car that will appeal to both existing and potential customers to improve current market position.

Please see explanation below
Explanation:
a. Just as supply and demand affects any other market, so does it affects jobs too. Take for instance if additional workers are added to the existing workforce while the demand for jobs remains the same; it means that employers would likely pay less which will bring about drop in income to employees hence causes less job stability. On the other hand, if there is an increase in demand for jobs while supply remains the same; then employers will be willing to pay more thereby resulting in higher income for few who are employed hence bring about job stability.
b. Change in demand refers to either an increase or decrease in demand for a particular good or service due to changes in consumer tastes, income level, population, price of substitutes etc; while change in supply is when suppliers decided to either increase or decrease their production or output due to changes in technology, process automation, change in the number of competitors in the market, taxes, production costs etc.
An increase in demand for certain goods or services would necessitate an increase in supply for such goods hence create avenue for producers or manufacturers to employ more people to produce them. Also, a decrease in demand for certain goods or services would result in less goods being produced hence lesser people getting employed to produce such goods.
On the other hand, when producers embraces new technology or process automation , the possibility of producing more goods will be higher while such would result in job losses.
