Answer:
Theft of intellectual property.
Explanation:
Cloud computing is making hardware, software and data available on demand via a network, often the internet. The cloud stands for a network that, with all the computers connected to it, forms a kind of 'cloud of computers', where the end user does not know how many or which computers the software runs on or where those computers exactly stand. In this way, the user no longer needs to be the owner of the hardware and software used and is therefore not responsible for maintenance. The details of the information technology infrastructure are hidden from view and the user has his own virtual infrastructure, scalable in size and possibilities. The cloud is therefore a technique with which scalable online services can be offered. Without the ability to scale, an online service offered does not relate to cloud computing.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": The rate of return decreases.
Explanation:
Net Present Value or NPV is a mathematical calculation used to determine if a project could be profitable or not. NPV is obtained by subtracting the present value of outflows from the present value of inflows, In case NPV is positive, it is expected a project will provide the firm profits, while a negative NPV implies the company incurring in losses.
<em>The Rate of Return (RoR) has an inverse relation with the NPV meaning if the RoR decreases the NPV will increase and vice versa.</em>
Answer: Yes, The FTC will approve the merger.
Explanation:
The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is the common measure of market concentration used to determine market competitiveness. The HHI is calculated by the squaring of the market share of every firm competing in the market and then adding the resulting numbers
HHI (before the merger)
= 23² + 12² + 8² + 7² + 5² + 45 × 1²
= 529 + 144 + 64 + 49 + 25 + 45
= 856
HHI (after the merger) = (23 + 12)²
8² + 7² + 5² + 45 × 1² = 1408
Here, the market is less concentrated and the HHI is still below 1500 after the merger. Therefore, FTC will approve this merger. The answer is Yes.
Answer:
$95,400
Explanation:
The computation of total cost of ending work in progress inventory is shown below:-
Material = 18,000 Units × 100% × $2.75
= $49,500
Labor = 18,000 Units × 60% × $4.25
= $45,900
The total cost assigned to the ending work in process inventory
= Material + Labor
= $49,500 + $45,900
= $95,400
So, for computing the total cost assigned to the ending work in process inventory we simply add material with labor.
Answer:
b. value-based pricing
Explanation:
Value based pricing is a pricing strategy to set price of products based on value perceived by the purchaser. To have increased profit margin, business deduces the number of benefit the product provides to consumer. Then it establishes price which takes consideration of manufacturing cost, competitive price and consumer's willingness to pay price for the goods.
In the question mentioned IKEA not only provide functional benefit for the product but also quality, design, and services at low prices hence it is an instance of value based pricing.
