In business, harvesting approach is a practice to exploit as much profit as possible from a certain company's product before it pulled out from the market. Usually being done because the firms want to replace the product with a newer one.</span>
Answer: The answer is a
Explanation:
Using the formula
Expected Rate of Return = ∑(i =1 to n) Ri Pi
Where Ri = Return in scenario 1
Pi = Probability for the return in scenario 1
i = Number of scenario
n = Total number of probability and Return
P1=30
R1 = 18
P2 = 50
R2 =12
P3 = 20
R3 =-5
Expected Gain =(30 ×18) + (50 × 12) + ( 20 × -5)
= 540 + 600 + - 100
= 1,040
= 1,040 ÷ 100
= 10.4%
Answer:
Make; $72,000
Working:
Make ($106*8000) 848,000
Buy [($120*8000 - 40,000)] 920,000
Make increases profits by 72,000
Answer:
C) The theory of Comparative Advantage
Explanation:
The theory of Comparative Advantage is a theory of international trade and it comes into effect in a situation where the <u>opportunity cost of producing a good or offering by a service by a country is lower than that of other countries. </u>
Specifically, to understand the theory of comparative advantage the opportunity cost of production or offering a service has to be measured in terms of the trade off between those countries. It simply means when a country has the comparative advantage then it derives more benefits from other countries buying its products as compared to buying their products and vice versa.
In the question, the European Union has the Comparative advantage over South Africa because the trade-off between buying South Africa's edible fruits and nuts and selling other products to South Africa benefits the European countries.
European countries derive more benefits because South Africa buys their goods at a cost higher than it takes them to produce while they buy at the normal cost from South Africa. The <u>trade-off benefits Europe </u>
Answer:
According to the straight-line depreciation, this number can be obtained by dividing the difference between an asset's cost and its expected salvage value.
<u>Depreciation</u> = Asset's Cost - Expected Salvage Value ÷ Expected Years of use
Explanation:
In the case of Tops Co., they purchase equipment for $12,000 - $500 of Salvage Value expected ÷ 5 Expected years of use
The estimated depreciation will be $2,300 for 5 years
At the beginning of the third year Tops Co. decided to use the equipment for 6 years and no salvage value.
The remaining purchase value will be $12,000 - $2,300 (x3) = $5,100
Apply again the formula described above and our answer will be:
The revised estimated depreciation is $1,700 for the remaining three years.
