Business
1 answer:
lesya692 [45]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

EBay lost out because they did not have the right strategy, and were unwilling to incorporate Chinese local content in their process.

Explanation:

Strategy

With regards to strategy, while Ali baba gave local producers freedom to upload their goods on their platform at zero cost; Ebay charged fees from local manufacturers/producers of item for uploading unto their digital platform.

Over confidence

EBay had experienced success in western countries, hence it was unwilling to incorporate Chinese local content in it's process. EBay's server and IT team were based outside China, and this sometimes made their digital platform in China slow, costly and not user friendly like Alibaba.

LESSON TO BE LEARNT

NemiM [27]

Answer:

$671,300

Explanation:

The calculation of adjusted basis in the building is shown below:-

Adjusted basis = Original cost of the property + Cost of capital improvements - Depreciation claimed

= $750,000 + $50,000 - $128,700

= $800,000 - $128,700

= $671,300

Therefore for computing the adjusted basis we simply add original cost of the property with cost of capital improvements and deduct depreciation claimed.

Xavier and alex plan on retiring 27 years from today. at that time, they plan to have saved the same amount. javier is depositin
hammer [34]

The amount by which Alex's deposit amount vary from Javier's if Alex also makes a deposit today, but earns an annual interest rate of 6.2 percent is $3381.39.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

We use the formula:

A=P(1+r/100)^n

where

  • A=future value
  • P=present value
  • r=rate of interest
  • n=time period.

Hence future value Javier will be:

=$15000*(1.052)^27

=$58,954.40

For Alex:

58,954.40=P*(1.062)^27

P=58,954.40/(1.062)^27

=$11618.61

Hence difference will be:

=15000 - 11618.61

= $3381.39

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Asset U

Explanation:

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset Q = Expected return / standard deviation

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset Q = 6.5% / 5.5%

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset Q = 1.1818

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset U = Expected return / standard deviation

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset U = 8.8% / 5.5%

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset U = 1.6

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset B = Expected return / standard deviation

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset B = 8.8% / 6.5%

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset B = 1.3538

The  investor should prefer Asset U because its has the highest reward to volatility ratio among the three options.

Why is the price elasticity of demand for coca-cola greater than the price elasaticity of deman for soft drinks generally?
wolverine [178]

A soft drink's price elasticity of demand is lower than Coca-Cola's, which is more sensitive to price. This is due to the ease with which consumers can switch from Coca-Cola to other comparable soft drink alternatives, such as Pepsi.

  • However, it would be challenging to replace soft drinks as a whole with alternative products. The price elasticity of demand for soft drinks, in general, is lower than the price elasticity of demand for Coca-Cola because there are no other close substitutes for them.
  • The quantity required of a thing or service changes in response to a change in the product's price, and this is measured by the price elasticity of demand. It is computed by subtracting the product's price change from the quantity demanded, divided by the product's price change.
  • Because the quantity of Coca-Cola products demanded frequently changes when prices vary, these products are thought to have an elastic demand.
