ct A are $3,000, $7,000, and $10,000 over the next three years, respectively. The cash inflows for Project B are $3,000, $7,000, and $15,000 over the next three years, respectively.

Answer:

The Square Box should accept Project B only

Explanation:

Square Box should decide the project whose Net present value (NPV) of future cash inflow is higher than the initial cost of investment

NPV of cash inflow from Project A = 3,000/(1+12%)+7,000/(1+12%)^2+10,000/(1+12%)^3 = $15,377, lower then initial cost of $18,000 → deny Project A

NPV of cash inflow from Project B = 3,000/(1+12%)+7,000/(1+12%)^2+15,000/(1+12%)^3 = $18,936, higher then initial cost of $18,000 → accept Project B

serg [7]

Answer: Differentiation focus

Explanation:

Marketing focus is not an actual marketing term. Cost leadership strategy's main focus is on the reduction of expenses which in turn, lowers prices of product while targeting a wide array of market segments.

In this question, Volkswagen is not reducing costs, or targeting large market segments. Differentiation strategy” require products to possess significant points of difference in brand image, product offerings, higher quality, advanced technology, and superior service to command a higher price while also targeting a wide array of market segments. For this question, these factors are not explaineded as targeting a broad market segments.

Differentiation focus strategy requires the products to have significant points of difference that is vital to target one or only a few market segments. For this question, Volkswagen uses a specific and unique factor to appeal to a specific group of people. So differentiation focus is the answer.

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The question is not complete, below is the complete question:

Suppose that you open a mutual fund account with a deposit of 500 dollars. 5 months later, the fund balance is 600 dollars, and you withdraw 216 dollars. A year after the account was opened, your balance is X dollars. If the dollar weighted and time weighted rates of return were the same, what is the rate of return? (Assume simple interest for the dollar weighted calculation.) Answer should be a percent!!!

Answer:

The rate of return is 48% on deposited fund.

Explanation:

The rate of return on investment is the percentage increase on an amount invested for a particular period of time, and to calculate this, we will use the simple interest formula:

I = P × R × T

Where:

P = principal = $500

R = rate in decimal ( %rate/100)

T = time = 5 months = 5/12 years

I = interest = Principal - final balance = 600 - 500 = $100

∴ 100 = 500 × R/100 × 5/12

100 = \frac{2500R}{1200}

120,000 = 2500R

∴ R = 120,000 ÷ 2500 = 48%

Therefore rate of return (R) = 48%

For a clearer understanding of the concept of interests, let us calculate for the balance after one year (X) as shown below:

I = P×R×T

T = 1 because, X is the balance after one year.

I = 500 × 48/100 × 1

I = $240

therefore the final amount after one year = interest + principal

= 240 + 500 = 740

but we were told that $216 was withdrawn at 5 months, hence the balance after one year = 740 - 216 = $524

A decrease in input costs to firms in a market will result in a(n) _________________
shtirl [24]

Answer:

a) decrease in equilibrium price and an increase in equilibrium quantity.

Explanation:

As the input cost decreases for the companies the the supply of the goods increases hence the supply curve shifts rightwards.In the curve at the new equilibrium point the equilibrium price decreases and the equilibrium quantity increases.

Think it like if cost of creating anything is decreased for a company then the company will create more products .So there will be more products in the market.So to clear the products in the market the price will be reduced and the quantity of the product is more than before.
