In the context of time-based competition,  "build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door." could be interpreted as "those who make better innovations would obtain the most opportunities to obtain profit in the market"

Innovations only offers advantages in the competition because it offer different options for consumers that exclusively belong to US. But innovation is NOT THE ONLY factors for the product's success. There are other factors that can influence the success such as marketing strategies, condition of the economy

raketka [301]

Answer:

C'(y) = 50 -\frac{3900000}{y^2}=0

And we can solve for y and we got:

y = \sqrt{\frac{3900000}{50}}= 279.285

And using condition (1) we can solve for x and we got:

x= \frac{60000}{279.285}= 214.834

So then the minimum cost for this case would be:

C = 50*279.285 + 65*214.834 = 27928.49

Explanation:

For this case the graph attached illustrate the problem for this case

We know that the total area is 60000, so then we have:

xy = 60000

If we solve for x we got:

x = \frac{60000}{y}  (1)

Now we can define the cost function like this:

C = 2*(25)*y + 25 x +40 x

C(x,y) = 50 y + 65 x

We can use the condition (1) and if we replace in the cost function we have:

C(y) = 50 y + 65(\frac{60000}{y})

Since we need to minimize the cost, we can derivate the function in terms of y and we got:

C'(y) = 50 -\frac{3900000}{y^2}=0

And we can solve for y and we got:

y = \sqrt{\frac{3900000}{50}}= 279.285

And using condition (1) we can solve for x and we got:

x= \frac{60000}{279.285}= 214.834

So then the minimum cost for this case would be:

C = 50*279.285 + 65*214.834 = 27928.49

Which business model has traditionally been used by magazines
Andrej [43]
According to Quora dot com, US magazines are viewed as historically dependent on advertising revenue hence why subscriptions to magazines are historically very low as advertising is used to subsidise cover price or subscription cost.

With the general collapse of print publications in the US, particularly led by the drying up of physical newsstand presence, magazines have a harder time getting into consumer's hands. This means that advertisers are less likely to spend in a publication (readership decreasing) and then advertising revenues go down, making magazines less and less profitable.

I realize this is quit lengthy so I'd sum it up to saying the business model for magazines has traditionally been the selling of advertising space ... Not sure if this is what you're looking for

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Businesses has always had its challenges and also more peculiar challenges from time immemorial and it is so even today despite several business models and the likes being in operation.

In the 1900s, one of the peculiar challenges of businesses was the inability of manufacturers to transport their goods from the point of production to the points of sale. In the 1900s, railways began to become more open than from the time of rail owners and also vehicles as we know today began to come into existence. Overtime, heavy duty vehicles capapble of transporting and lifting good from the point of production to its point of sale began to come up.

Cheers.

________ refers to how people make decisions in a lottery or with uncertainty. People do not generally make expected value decis
allsm [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. Prospect theory.

Explanation:

Prospective theory belongs to behavioral economics and stands out as an alternative model to the expected utility theory, since the validity of the rational agent's neoclassical assumption is questioned. This theory was developed by Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman and his collaborator Amos Tversky in his »Prospect Theory: An Analysis of Decision under Risk” (1979). They used the results obtained from both his own empirical observations, as of several experiments.

Individuals set preferences based on a specific situation and circumstances, rather than in absolute terms. This means that depending on their initial situation, agents will act in one way or another. One of the results of this reasoning leads to behavioral asymmetries between situations of possible losses or gains. Individuals, for example, are generally more risk averse than profit lovers. An endowment effect is also derived from this analysis, since the compensation required by someone to dispose of a good is greater than what they would be willing to pay to acquire it.
