Answer:

True

Explanation:

Many times management does not know a lot about information technology (IT) and that is not something necessarily bad because none can know all about everything. The problem is when someone doesn't know about something else but he/she is not willing to learn about that issue or is not willing to ask other people who know to teach them.

Many CEOs and board members are very successful and powerful people, and they do not like to admit the fact that they might need help to deal with some issues. IT is constantly changing and even if they knew about it 10 or 20 years ago, that knowledge is no good anymore.

The largest advances in IT have occurred in communications, our world is smaller every day. But communication by itself is only a tool, and a tool is only as good as the person that handles it. In order for a company to work properly, good communication must exist between all their units.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

The answer is D

Explanation:

Intrinsic value can be found by simply using the following formula

Put intrinsic value = Strike Price - Current selling price

this gives,

PIV = $45 - $50 = $-5

A put intrinsic value cannot be vegetative as it can be exercised right now at the current price. Thus it is interpreted as 0.

Time value is calculated as follows

Time Value = Option Price - Intrinsic Value

This gives   TV = $3.5 - $0 = $3.5

Hope this helps.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

In marketing, price discrimination refers to selling the same product to different buyers at different prices depending on each buyer's purchasing power or preferences which result in them being able and willing to pay different prices. E.g. a movie theater that charges different prices depending on the age of the movie goers.

In this case, the fact that a factory is located far away from your house might result in a higher price due to delivery costs, but that doesn't meant that it is using price discrimination. E.g. I just purchased a new refrigerator online and I had to pay a delivery fee that increased its price because the seller is from another state. I purchased the refrigerator from that retailer because it lower prices including delivery costs, but someone that purchased it from the same city will probably pay even less than me. But it is just logistics, since I live far away I have to wait 3 days for delivery and pay for it.
