Answer:

D. The price of potatoes will increase.

Explanation:

Should the market experiences scarcity,  or a surplus in the supply of a commodity, the laws of demand and supply applies.  The price of products and services is determined by the intersection of the demand and supply curves.  If the demand is high and supply is low, then the price rises.

The supply curve slopes upwards. A decrease in supply causes the supply curve to shift to the left.  It means the demand and supply curves will meet at a higher price. A low supply of potatoes will mean many buyers competing for a few supplies. These will cause the demand for potatoes to increase and consequently push the prices higher.

In the mid 1980s, what emerging product market did a major foreign competitor capitalized on and Kodak miss due to a poor unders
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Kodak missed the digital camera revolution that it started.

Explanation:

According to history, Kodak's Steve Sasson was the first to invent a digital camera prototype in 1975.

But, Kodak relied on its past successes to the extent that it could not see beyond its shoulders.  Kodak spotted digital technology opportunity in its business, but it lacked the foresight to sharpen its core competency so that it could redefine the market and its business from a film producing and selling company to one that gives consumers the opportunity to share images online.  It lacked the competency to understand the emerging needs of its customers and woefully failed to invest rightly in digital technology.

On the other hand, Fuji created new opportunities for itself that were related to its core business by branching into magnetic tape optics, videotape, copiers, and office automation.  As a result, it overtook Kodak in market share while Kodak submerged into bankruptcy, from which it later emerged stronger better than it was before the bankruptcy but smaller.

Which of the following is not the type of work done in a support department? c. maintenance work done to keep production machine
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

a. production work on an assembly line that makes a product

Explanation:

A support department refers to a section of an organization that comprises of employees who are saddled with the responsibility of providing timely and professional assistance to other core departments such as the production department.

This ultimately implies that, the support department provides assistance such as maintenance work done to keep production machines running smoothly, safety and security services provided to keep the production facility safe and janitorial services provided for the production facility.

Hence, any production work on an assembly line that makes a product is not a type of work done in a support department because all production work is solely being performed by the production department.
