Answer: 1) Carol can use the surve results to . identify the building blocks of competitive advantage and develop strategies to use them to increase profitability and in this way try to get the most out of it.
2) Strategically, managers who have identified these advanced factors should <u>take steps to protect these assets, either formally or as a trade secret, optimize the company's use of them and not outsource them to other firms </u>because it is convenient to try that the competition does not find out about the use of this factor of production so that it cannot imitate them and thus be able to gain a greater market share to the competition.

Answer:
The fraud was discovered Option D: The operations manager found a check made payable to Phillips while searching Phillips' desk for some accounting records.
Explanation:
In the given case study, Ernie Phillips had got a job as a 'controller'. He had started writing checks to himself other than the payroll checks.
This fraud can be discovered when the operations manager found a check on Phillips desk which was payable to himself and it was other than the payroll check. Thus, Option D is the statement as an answer.
Cancelled checks do not have to do anything with the fraud, as per Option A, because cancelled checks are never cleared in the bank. The receiver doesn't usually receive a call before check clearance. So, Option B is also incorrect. No error was there in the check as stated in Option C.

Answer: will be above the coupon rate
Explanation:
The Coupon rate is a fixed rate that a bond issuer pays to it's bond holders. The <em>Current Yield</em> however is calculated by dividing the Coupon payment by the Price of the bond.
When Market interest rises above the Coupon Rate, the price of the bond decreases in the market and vice versa.
Because the price of the bond is now less and it is the divisor of the Coupon rate to get the Yield, it will give a higher percentage which will be more than the Coupon rate.
