Answer:

Letter B is correct. <em>Lead Users</em>.

Explanation:

Term developed by prof. Eric von Hippel, Lead Users are those users who are able to transform, adapt and modify a company's product or service for their own benefit, as they face the same market needs a while before regular users.

For Prof Eric von Hippel, there are four steps in developing Lead Users:

  1. Preparation,
  2. Needs and Trends Identification,
  3. Lead Users Identification, and
  4. Concept Design.

The premise is that the Lead Users method is effective in identifying innovation and product trends that need to be developed for a market for your needs.

Answer the question using the following data, which show all available techniques for producing 20 units of a particular commodi
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

This technique would be adopted because it would lower production costs and increase economic profit.

Explanation:

Consider the given problem here there are “4 factors” of production these are “Land”, “labor”, “capital” and “entrepreneurial ability”. Now, price of each input is given in the question.

given the price and the cost adopting “technique 1” is given by.

=> C1 = 4*2 + 3*1 + 3*5 + 2*3

         = 32

Similarly, given the price and the cost adopting “technique 2” is given by.

=> C2 = 4*4 + 3*2 + 3*2 + 2*1

          = 30  

Similarly, given the price and the cost adopting “technique 3” is given by.

=> C3 = 4*2 + 3*4 + 3*3 + 2*1

          = 31  

Now, given the price and the cost adopting “technique 4” is given by.

=> C4 = 4*4 + 3*1 + 3*1 + 2*4

          = 30

Finally, given the price and the cost adopting “technique 5” is given by.

=> C5 = 4*4 + 3*3 + 3*2 + 2*1

         = 33  

here the most efficient technique is “2 and 4” having least cost.

Now, for new technology the cost of using it is given by.

=> 4*3 + 3*3 + 3*1 + 2*2 = 28 < 30

Therefore, This technique would be adopted because it would lower production costs and increase economic profit.

Temka [501]

Answer:

A Dirty Float

Explanation:

A dirty float or managed float, refers to a floating exchange rate system operated by a country's central bank where there are occasional interventions in the foreign excange markets to influence the demand and supply with the intention of curbing perceived volatilities in the currency.

As stated in the question, the intervention of the Central Bank will usually occur when it believes that the currency has deviated too far from its fair value.

The dirty float system is a buffer against external economic influences that may want to disrupt the foreign exchange market in a country.

Actually, from 1946-1971, many industrialized nations around the world operated the fixed exchange rate system or the Bretton Woods agreement but this changed August 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon decided to exit the United States from this system and till date most nations that intend to protect their domestic markets and industries against external foreign influences have adopted the dirty float exchange system.

A string or rope will break apart if it is placed under too much tensile stress. Thicker ropes can withstand more tension withou
kifflom [539]

Answer:

a. radius = 0.0006m = 0.6mm and length =0.393m = 393mm

b. frequency =377.86Hz

Explanation:

Given:

mass of steel= 4g = 0.004kg

density of steel = 7890kg/m3

tensile stress of steel 7.0x10⁸

tension load =900N

from the density, we will calculate for the Volume of the steel string

density = mass/volume

volume = mass/density = 0.004/7890 = 5.07 x 10⁻⁷ m³

from the tensile stress will can get the maximum base Area of the string ,

tensile stress = load/area =

7x10⁸ = 900/A

A = 900/7x10⁸ = 1.29x10⁻⁶ m²

Area = πr²

area/pi = 4.105x10-7

radius = 0.0006m = 0.6mm

volume = Area x length

length = vol/area =(5.07 x 10⁻⁷ m³)/1.29x10⁻⁶ m² = 0.393m

b. the highest possible frequency is given by:

F = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L} }}{2L}

where T= tension, m=mass, L=length

F = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{900}{0.004kg/0.393m} }}{2*0.393m}

= 297.04/0.786

frequency =377.86Hz
