Answer:

D. differentiation.

Explanation:

Option A - Low-cost leadership refers to the strategy in which the customers are getting the products at a low cost. Companies seek to achieve cost leadership, but with efficient manufacturing and productive employees cannot help them to achieve that.

Options B and C - With local employees, it is challenging to achieve global operation, and focused differentiation is the selling of unique products to the customers. So, those are wrong answers.

Option D - With the help of differentiation strategy, companies seek effective manufacturing and productive employees to attract customers to take their products from the thousands of products in the market. Therefore, it is the correct answer.

Kruka [31]

Question:

For an economy starting at potential output, a decrease in autonomous expenditure in the short-run results in a(n):

A. increase in potential output

B. recessionary output gap

C. decrease in potential output

D. expansionary output gap

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

A decrease in autonomous expenditure shifts the Planned Aggregate Expenditure curve downward thus creating a lower equilibrium output.

PAE = C + Ip + G + NX

where

PAE = Planned Aggregate Expenditure

C = consumption

Ip = Investment Spending

G = Government Spending

NX = Net Export

If an economy has its output equal to its potential, this will create a reduction in short-run equilibrium output leading to a recessionary output gap.

Cheers!

QUESTION 11 Given the following information, calculate the equity dividend rate for this investment: first-year NOI: $18,750; be

Alja [10]

Answer: D. 2.2%

Explanation: Equity Dividend Rate is calculated by dividing the Before Tax Cash Flow by the Acquisition price. If you need the answer in percentage form, you then multiply by 100.

Here, before-tax cash flow = $11,440

Acquisition price = $520,000

So Equity Dividend Rate = $\frac{11440}{520000}$ X 100

Equity Dividend Rate = 2.2%

In this question, you do not need the Net Operating Income (NOI). You only need the NOI if the Before Tax Cash Flow is not given and the debt service payment is. If this is the case, you subtract the debt service payment from the NOI to get the Before Tax Cash Flow.

In 1-2 sentences, explain why scarcity exists.

prohojiy [21]

Scarcity refers to a state of being in short supply.

Scarcity exists because distribution of resources is unequal. Majority of the people tend to get more than they need in preparation for future uses. They did not take into consideration that other people also need the items they have stocked up on. This results to unequal distribution of resources. Those who had first access to the goods have more than they need while those who came last have goods that is not enough to sustain their needs. They are the ones experiencing scarcity.

Why is it often difficult for a firm to match its strategy to hr deliverables??

Nookie1986 [14]

<span>It is difficult because firms have a hard time executing strategies they develop. The vision the firms has is either too wide in scope, costs too much money, or uses too many resources to be truly viable. The strategy or deliverables may need to be altered or scrapped to get a fresh start.</span>
