Answer:

B) related-linked diversification.

Explanation:

A related linked diversification strategy refers to expanding a company's product lines with products or services that are similar to the ones that it currently offers.

In this case, Amazon first sold books and selling a e-book reader follows a similar path. Since Amazon had spare cloud computing capacity, it decided to "lease it" to other businesses and is currently Amazon's star service that generates most of its cash.

When creating a data backup plan or policy, what five basic questions should be answered?
Tresset [83]
Each establishment, whether small or big, government-owned or private companies, always have to backup their files in case of emergencies. As you make your backup plan, you must come across these five basic key questions:

1. Are you backing up all your data? You have to sort your files to be backed up because storage can be limited.

2. How often is your data backed up? You must make sure to back up your data on a regular basis, if not day-to-day.

3. Who is responsible for your backups? For big companies, it is too big of a task for one person to shoulder. Usually, this is tackled by a department, usually the I.T. Department.

4. Do your backups actually work? You should test regularly if these back ups actually work by restoring data files every now and then.

5. Do you have right backup checks and balances in place? The I.T Department tackling backup plans is one thing. But there should also be checks and balances so that you have a backup of your backup. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Why would a large crop surplus be a problem for farmers? A. Surpluses are destroyed by the government. B. Surpluses drive down p
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The answer is b. Surpluses drive down prices

Explanation:

If you have a large volume of crops, it would not drive up the price simply because there is not a lot of demand for the crop. In that sense, both c and d (even though d is relevant to the equipment) are incorrect. If there is a lot of surplus, farmers will have to lower their prices in order to sell it. They lose in profit which is why large crop surplus are a problem for farmers.

Koffee Express operates a number of espresso coffee stands in busy suburban malls. The fixed weekly expense of a coffee stand is
sergey [27]

Answer:

1.

* Number of Cups of coffee served in a week is 1,800:

Fixed cost: $1,100

Variable cost: $0.26

Total cost average cost per cup: $0.87 ( which is calculated as Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served + Variable cost per unit = 1,100/1,800 + 0.26)

* Number of Cups of coffee served in a week is 1,900:

Fixed cost: $1,100

Variable cost: $0.26

Total cost average cost per cup: $0.84 ( which is calculated as Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served + Variable cost per unit = 1,100/1,900 + 0.26)

* Number of Cups of coffee served in a week is 2,000:

Fixed cost: $1,100

Variable cost: $0.26

Total cost average cost per cup: $0.81 ( which is calculated as Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served + Variable cost per unit = 1,100/2,000 + 0.26)

2.

The average cost per cup of coffee served decreases as the number of cups of coffee served in a week increases.

This is because average cost per cup of coffee served is equal to the sum of allocated fixed cost to one cup of coffee + variable cost of one cup of coffee. Although the variable cost of one cup of coffee remains the same given changes in the number of cups served, the allocated fixed cost to one cup of coffee decreases as the cups served increases as Total fixed cost remained the same, yet it will be allocated to more cup served, so the amount allocated to one cup served will decreases.

A formula will make it easy to understand:

Average cost per cup of coffee served = Variable Cost + Total Fixed cost/Total of cups served. Variable cost and total fixed cost remains the same with the variation of number of cup served; thus as number of cups served increases, Average cost per cup of coffee served decreases.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": Perceptual defense.

Explanation:

In psychology, perceptual defense refers to the suppression of a stimulus that represents a threat or an uncomfortable situation for an individual. Those inputs are distorted somehow by the individual to reject the unpleasant feeling so that the person does not feel that bad because of it. In such a way, the brain works as a defense mechanism able to distort information to mitigate the effects in the behavior produced by the stimulus.
