All of the following are required resources for differentiation except:
A. Strong marketing capability B. Corporate reputation for quality. C. Product engineering. D. Intense supervision of labor.
The correct answer is Option D (Intense supervision of labor)
Explanation:
The differentiation asked in the question above is product differentiation.
Product differentiation, in Economics, talks about the efficient way a producer or seller of a product makes it unique in the market thereby creating an edge between the product and other similar ones or other products.
So, strong marketing capability exposes the strength and uniqueness of the product to prospective buyers which in turn brings sales.
Corporate reputation and product engineering are a strong boost in sales, as reputable companies and the physical appearance of a product tend to get easy acceptance in the market. While Intense supervision of labor may increase the efficiency of production but it is not to be considered as a resource for differentiation.

B. The zero based budget requires managers to re-justify every planned expenditure every year.
Explanation:
A zero based budget is one that does not take into account historical data when it is considering the present year budget. Each departmental requirement is re-evaluated and a new amount is assigned as budget for the year.

Explanation: The unbiased expectations theory, also known as the expectation theory aims to estimate how much the short term interest rates will amount to in future. This is based on long term interest rates. Forward rates are used to predict the value of interests in the future based on the values calculated today. A maturity of 1 year has the lowest interest rate because it is not given enough time to grow. Interest rates tend to grow better over a longer period of time. Therefore in terms of expectation theory the longer the maturity the better the chances of interest rate growth.
