Answer: participant observation, interviews and surveys. All of these ethnographic methods can be very valuable in gaining a deeper understanding of a design problem.
Explanation:
Answer:
The interest rate is higher in the US.
Explanation:
The forward price is calculated using the following formula,
F= S ( 1+Rd / 1+Rf)^t
where,
- F = Forward rate
- S = Spot rate
- Rd = Nominal interest rate in domestic market
- Rf = Nominal interest rate in foreign market
- t = time in years
We consider that the domestic market is the US and the domestic currency is the USD. Thus, it is a direct quote where 1 EUR = 1.3 USD
The forward price ER is more than the Sport ER only when the interest rate in domestic market is more than the interest rate in foreign market and as a result, the value of domestic currency against a foreign currency in the forward market depreciates.
We can see this by the following example,
Say Spot rate is $1.3 per 1 EUR and the interest rate in US is 10% while that in Euro zone is 5%. When we calculate the forward ER we will see that 1 EUR will buy us more USD in forward (more than 1.3 USD)
F= 1.3 * (1.1 / 1.05)^1 => $1.362 PER 1EUR
Answer:
- Paul Donut Franchisee : Perfectly Elastic Supply
- P & G Facial Tissues : Elastic Supply
- Papermate Pens : Inelastic Supply
- Bright Ideas Lightbulbs : Perfectly Inelastic Supply
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of Supply is sellers' quantity supplied response to price change. P(Es) = % change in supply / % change in price.
Supply can be classified by Price Elasticity of Supply, as undermentioned :
- Elastic Supply : P(Es) > 1 ; % change in supply > % change in price
- Inelastic Supply : P(Es) < 1 ; % change in supply < % change in price
- Unitary Elastic : P (Es) = 1 ; % change in supply = % change in price
- Perfectly Elastic Supply : P(Es) = ∞ ; Supply responds infinitely to any slight price change & so prices are constant.
- Perfectly Elastic Supply : P (Es) = 0 ; Supply responds negligibly to massive price change & so quantity supplied is constant
- Paul Donut Franchise : Unlimited Supply at constant price, so supply perfectly elastic
- P & G facial tissues : % change in supply i.e 66% > % change in price i.e 10% , so supply is elastic
- Papermate pens : % change in supply i.e 10 % < % change in price i.e 15% , so supply is inelastic
- Bright Ideas Lightbulbs : % change in supply 15% negligible in relation to 400% price change , so supply is perfectly inelastic

Answer:
Over this 10-year period, the benefit to cost ratio is:
= 1.33.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of additional anti-pollution equipment = $2 million
Estimated useful life of the equipment = 10 years
Additional annual labor cost for equipment usage = $100,000
This gives a total labor cost of $1 million over the 10-year period.
Therefore, the total cost = $3 million
Savings (benefits) from lowering the air pollutants in the region = $4 million in medical expenses.
The benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR) = $4/$3 = 1.33
b) The Benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR) is a cost–benefit analysis that summarizes the value-for-money of a project by expressing the relationship between the project's benefits and costs in monetary terms. The BCR shows the future profitability of investment alternatives or options. It is normally expressed in terms of net present value.
