Answer:

B. Straddling

Explanation:

Straddling is a management approach in which a firm seeks to match what a competitor is doing by adding new services, technologies, features to its current activities.

Straddling is a very risky management approach as any other firm that is not straddling can match a straddling company on every front. The risk always shows if the straddling firm has to trade-off(i.e: lose one quality to improve another or to make gains).

Cheers.

Adams Jackson invests $40,600 at 10% annual interest, leaving the money invested without withdrawing any of the interest for 10
Degger [83]

Explanation:

The computation is as follows

a. Total withdrawn amount

= Principal amount + total interest earned

where,

Principal amount = $40,600

And, the total interest earned is

= $40,600 × 10% × 10 years

= $40,600

So, the total withdrawn amount is

= $40,600 + $40,600

= $81,200

b. Now total withdrawn amount in case of compounded annually

= Principal amount × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

= $40,600 × (1 + 0.10)^10

= $40,600 × 2.5937424601

= $105,305.94

c. Now total withdrawn amount in case of compounded semi annually

= Principal amount × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

= $40,600 × (1 + 0.05)^20

= $40,600 × 2.6532977051

= $107,723.89

A monopolist sells in two geographically divided markets, the East and the West. Marginal cost is constant at $50 in both market
noname [10]

Answer:

A) QE = 400, PE = 250

     QW = 325, PW = 375

b) east market has more elastic market demand

Explanation:

Given data :

Marginal cost = $50 ( both markets )

demand and marginal revenue in each market are given differently

a) Determine/find the profit-maximizing price and quantity in each market

For east market :

50 = 450 - QE

hence QE = 450 -50 = 400

since QE = 400 ( quantity for east market )

400 = 900 - 2PE

PE = 250 ( PROFIT maximizing price for east market )

For west market

50 = 700 - 2QW

Hence QW = 325

since QW = 325

325 = 700 - pw

PW = 375

B) The market in which demand is more elastic is the east market because the quantity demanded is higher and also the profit maximizing price is lower as well

A company that utilizes carbon fiber 3-D printing wants to have money available two years from now to add new equipment. The com
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Total amount available in two years is $1,354,125.

Explanation:

The total amount available in two years can be calculated as follows:

Total amount in the deposit now = Current deposit + Amount planned to be deposited = $650,000 + $200,000 = $850,000

Future value of the total amount the deposit now = Total amount in the deposit now * (1 + Annual interest rate)^Number of years the deposit used = $850,000 + (1 + 15%)^2 = $1,124,125

Future value of next year's deposit = Next year's deposit * (1 + Annual interest rate)^Number of years the deposit used = $200,000 * (1 + 15%)^1 = $230,000

Total amount available in two years = Future value of the total amount the deposit now + Future value of next year's deposit = $1,124,125 + $230,000 = $1,354,125

Oscar makes purchases of an existing product (X) such that the marginal utility of the last unit he consumes is 10 utils and the
sammy [17]

Answer:

INCREASE in Consumption of product Y

DECREASE in Consumption of product X

Explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that the already existing product (X) has a marginal utility of 10 utils as well as the price of the amounts of $5 while the new product (Y) has a marginal utility of 8 utils as well as the price of the amounts of $1 which means that PRODUCT Y marginal utility and price is lower than that of PRODUCT X marginal utility and price.

Therefore equal marginal principle suggests that Oscar should INCREASE his consumption of product Y and DECREASE his consumption of product X reason been that product Y has a lower marginal utility of 8 utils and the price of the amounts of $1 which means that his consumption of Product Y has to be INCREASED while product X on the other has a higher marginal utility 10 utils as well as the price of the amounts of $5 which means that his Consumption of Product X has to DECREASED.
