Answer:

False

Explanation:

The reason is that the network effect increases the value driven from a product when the users of the product grows. So the intense competition will come to equilibrium when the network effect is lower because the user needs are lower and the value required is also lower. So the market will be competing on prices to increase the demand of their product.

Which two factors are important to consider when choosing a production method?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

-The technology that is available for the market.

- The nature of the products

Explanation:

Latest technology often able to produce larger amount of products with significantly lower time. This will help reduce the overall cost of production in the long run.   Business owner need to consider this and calculate whether the initial investment that needed to be made to install the technology will worth the value in the long run.

Nature of the products consisted of all  the characteristics that our products process. For example food products tend to not have a long shelf life unlike fashion product. This difference in characteristics influence the type of production method that business owners could implement.

For example, It is impossible for business owners to mass produce produce food products with the expectation that it can maintain their quality in the warehouse, but producer of fashion products could make that expectation.

You want to buy a house that costs $140,000. You have $14,000 for a down payment, but your credit is such that mortgage companie
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the following :

Cost of house = $140,000

Down payment = $14000

Take back mortgage = 126000 = PV

Rate (r) = 5%

Yearly payment one can afford = 22000

a. If the loan was amortized over 3 years, how large would each annual payment be? Could you afford those payments?

Number of period = 3

Using the relation:

PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n

PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-3

PMT = 6300 / (1-0.8638375)

PMT = 46,268.23

He won't be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is larger than the affordable amount of $22000

b. If the loan was amortized over 30 years, what would each payment be? Could you afford those payments?

PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n

PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-30

PMT = 6300 / (1-0.2313774)

PMT = 8196.48

He would be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is lower than the affordable amount of $22000

c. To satisfy the seller, the 30-year mortgage loan would be written as a balloon note, which means that at the end of the third year, you would have to make the regular payment plus the remaining balance on the loan. What would the loan balance be at the end of Year 3, and what would the balloon payment be?

Present value of remaining balance after the 3rd year:

Present Value (PV) = PMT[(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]

Where

PMT = periodic payment = 8196.48

r = Interest rate = 5% = 0.05

n = number of periods = 30 - 3 = 27

PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1 + 0.05)^-27) / 0.05]

PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1. 05)^-27) / 0.05]

PV = 8196.48[0.7321516 / 0.05]

PV = 120,021.32

Balloon payment :

120,021.32 + 8196.48 = 128,217.80

A phone caller becomes irate and demands to speak to your boss, saying, "I know she wants to be interrupted to speak to me!" You
Degger [83]
I believe that in such a situation, the thing you should do is say: Mrs. Wilson can't be contacted now, but I will give her your name and number as soon as possible.
That way you won't interrupt your boss, and you will give a polite answer to the person calling.
