A. We have no information on the relative ease of finding new sources of oil. No

B. We have no information on how to reduce oil imports. No

C. We have no information on what caused energy consumption to remain steady. No

D. This is exactly what happened so is true. This is almost certainly our answer, let's go over (Correct )

E. We have no information on the link between development of energy sources and growth. No

Vilka [71]

Answer:

D) make mutual investments in specialized assets.

Explanation:

I'm not sure about the exact background of the question, but if you are trying to build a trust relationship with another company, the best way to do it is by investing together.

E.g. if company A is interested in securing an important supplier, instead of trying to acquire it, they might try to invest together in some assets or another business. That way, when it comes to deciding which company should receive discounts or prioritize their requirements, the supplier will always favor their business partners.

S_A_V [24]

Answer: Alternative 3 will be selected.

Explanation:

The system that should be selected is the alternative that is better than the other alternatives by being higher than MARR if selected.

First compare A1 to A0

The rate of return here is 18% which is higher than the MARR of 15% so Alternative 1 should be chosen over A0 which is to do nothing.

Compare A1 to A2

If A2 is chosen over A1, the incremental return is 10% which is less than the MARR of 15% so A2 should not be chosen over A1. A1 should instead be chosen over A2.

Compare A1 to A3

If A3 is chosen over A1 then the incremental return would be 18%. This is higher than the MARR of 15% so Alternative 3 should be chosen over Alternative 1.

Alternative 3 should be chosen over A1 which should be chosen over A2 and A0.

A3 will therefore be selected.
