Elastic demand means that consumers are sensitive to price and that increased prices can lead to lower sales. There isn't enough information to fully answer this question. We don't know how elastic the demand is. If the demand is only slightly elastic, the increased price and lower demand could still equal higher profits.
Explanation:
The long-running debate between the ‘rational design’ and ‘emergent process’ schools of strategy formation has involved caricatures of firms' strategic planning processes, but little empirical evidence of whether and how companies plan. Despite the presumption that environmental turbulence renders conventional strategic planning all but impossible, the evidence from the corporate sector suggests that reports of the demise of strategic planning are greatly exaggerated. The goal of this paper is to fill this empirical gap by describing the characteristics of the strategic planning systems of multinational, multibusiness companies faced with volatile, unpredictable business environments. In-depth case studies of the planning systems of eight of the world's largest oil companies identified fundamental changes in the nature and role of strategic planning since the end of the 1970s. The findings point to a possible reconciliation of ‘design’ and ‘process’ approaches to strategy formulation. The study pointed to a process of planned emergence in which strategic planning systems provided a mechanism for coordinating decentralized strategy formulation within a structure of demanding performance targets and clear corporate guidelines. The study shows that these planning systems fostered adaptation and responsiveness, but showed limited innovation and analytical sophistication
Answer:
16.59%
Explanation:
First we look at the formula which to determine the future value of the security and then work back to determine the annual return in terms of percentage
Future Value = Present Value x (1 +i)∧n
where i = the annual rate of return
n= number of years or period
We then plug the given figures into the equation as follows
we already know Present value to be $10,000 and the future value to be $100,000 and the number of years to be 15
Therefore, the implied annual return or yield on the investment is
100,000 = 10,000 x (1+i)∧15
(1+i)∧15 = 100,000/10,000 = 10
1 + i = (10∧(1/15))=1.165914
i= 1.165914-1
= 0.1659
= 16.59%
