Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": competitors offered phones with better designs and more features.

Explanation:

Blackberry Ltd., is a Canadian company well-known for its mobile devices that had a peak in sales during 2011. In that year Blackberry reported $19,907 million in revenue. However, the spread of full touch screen phones by <em>Apple </em>and <em>Android</em> pushed Blackberry down the road.  

In 2019 Blackberry reported $904 million in revenue. Most alleged the firm's failure relies on using the qwerty keyboard in their devices while most leading mobile phones do not implement them anymore. Therefore, <em>Blackberry failed because competitors started to offer phones with enhanced designs and features.</em>

BlackBerry, which gained significant market share in the early 2000s in the business, government, and consumer markets, lost market share because "competitors offered phones with better designs and more features".

<u>Option:</u> B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The causes BlackBerry struggled are:

  • They were unable to innovate quickly enough. Apple and all the Android phone manufacturers released their phones with new operating system and physical shapes.
  • That was a major disruption in the market for cell phones and BlackBerry did not follow.

The company after Chen took over BlackBerry in late 2013 to concentrate more on apps. In 2016, the team stopped manufacturing its own branded phones and is now depending on suppliers to do so. The organization now provides a lot of its software and services revenues, as well as licensing, to big corporations.

New stock issues = $1.9 million

Dividend paid in cash during the year = $281,000

The net cash flow provided by financing activities is:

= Million new stock issue increase in cash - Cash dividend decrease in cash + Increase in cash - Decrease in cash

= $759,000

Eric receives a portion of his income from his holdings of interest-bearing U.S. government bonds. The bonds offer a real intere
MArishka [77]

Solution :

Given :

The bonds offer a \text{real interest rate} of 4.5% per year

Tax rate = 10% = 0.10

Inflation rate = 2

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = 2 + 4.5

                                   = 6.5

\text{After tax nominal rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate})$

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = $6.5 \times (1-0.10)$

                                                  $=6.5 \times 0.90$

                                                 = 5.85

After tax real interest rate = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 5.85 - 2.0

                                            = 3.85

\text{Inflation rate} = 7.0

\text{Real interest rate = 4.5}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

                                   = 7 + 4.5

                                  = 11.5

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate })$

                                                  $=11.5 \times (1 - 0.10)$

                                                  $=11.5 \times 0.90$

                                                = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = 11.5 x (1 - 0.10)

                                          = 11.5 x 0.90

                                         = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 10.35 - 7.0

                                          = 3.35

Putting all the value in table :

\text{Inflation rate}    Real interest  Nominal interest  After tax nominal  After tax  

                                  rate                rate               interest rate       interest rate

2.0                             4.5                  6.5                        5.85                   3.85

7.0                              4.5                11.5                         10.35                3.35

Comparing with the \text{higher inflation rate}, a \text{lower inflation rate} will increase the after after tax real interest rate when the government taxes nominal interest income. This tends to encourage saving, thereby increase the quantity of investment in the economy and the increase the economy's long-run growth rate.
