Answer: $25078
Explanation:
Firstly, we'll find the real interest rate which will be:
(1 + R) = (1 + r)(1 + h)
(1 + 10%) = (1 + r)(1 + 4.8%)
(1 + 0.1) = (1 + r)(1 + 0.048)
1.1 = (1 + r)(1.048)
r = 4.96%.
Now the annual deposit will be gotten by using the annuity future value which will be:
3 million = C(1.0496^40-1) / 0.0496
3 million = C(5.3995) / 0.0496
3 million = 119.627C
C = 3 million/119.627
C = 25078
Therefore, the real amount that must be deposited each year to achieve the goal is $25078
Pre- is probably the answer, I’m sorry if it’s wrong.
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
The demand curve faced by perfectly competitive firm is horizontal. This means that if individual firm charges price above the market price, it will not sell anything.
The curve is the same as marginal revenue curve because change in total revenue from selling one more unit(marginal revenue) is the constant market price.
And it holds in perfect market that price equals marginal revenue (P=MR).
The correct option is D.
Answer: 0.10%
Explanation:
The following can be gotten from the question:
n = 15 years
We change it to months. Thus will be:
= 15 × 12
= 180
Present value of an annuity :
= A × {1- (1 +r ) -n ]/r}
74000 = 450 × [ 1- (1 +r) - 180]/r
r= 0.10%
Therefore, the monthly interest rate is 0.10%.
Question:
A potato chip manufacturer purchases a potato farm. Which of the following regarding its strategy is true?
A. The manufacturer has effectively used vertical integration to increase its bargaining position and reduce transaction costs.
B. The manufacturer has enhanced utilisation by allowing depreciation and other fixed costs to be spread over a larger unit volume.
C. The manufacturer has sacrificed quality by using a lower-cost input.
D. The manufacturer has efficiently capitalised on the experience and learning-curve effects within the company.
E. The manufacturer has effectively reduced its operating costs by outsourcing its activities.
Answer:
A. the Manufacturer has effectively used vertical integration to increase it's bargaining position and reduce transaction costs.
Explanation:
Vertical integration is a business strategy whereby a business acquires ownership or controls its suppliers, distributors, or retail locations to control its value or supply chain.
It may also be said that vertical integration has to do with the purchase of a part of all of the production or sales process that was previously outsourced, to have it done in-house.
An example of companies who have done this are:
1. Apple
2. Netflix
3. Comcast (Which acquired NBC)
Businesses can integrate by
- purchasing their suppliers to reduce the costs of manufacturing or
- controlling the distribution process that is, owning and controlling the warehousing and delivery of their products etc.
