Answer:

cultural differences

Explanation:

Cultural is an important factor which can help to improve businesses. A good and experience brand always takes into account the cultural difference before they introduce their products. There is a huge cultural difference between America and European countries although many brands have gained a competitive market share in both countries. Wal-Mart did not understand the cultural difference that is why it failed in Germany.

Answer:

  • <u><em>d. $40,510.15 </em></u>

Explanation:

The following tables will make it easier understanding the calculations.

Every year, you add the deposit of $8,800 to the starting amount, calculate the 5.7% interest over the balance, add the interests to the balance and obtain the final balance of the year, which is the starting balance of the next year.

<u>First year</u>:

Start ($):                      0

Deposit ($):                8,800

Balance ($):               8,800

Interest($):                 5.7% × 8,800 = 501.60

Final balance ($):      8,800 + 501.60 = 9,301.60

<u>Second year</u>:

Start ($):                    9,301.60

Deposit ($):              8,800

Balance ($):             9,301.60 + 8,800 = 18,101.60

Interest($):               5.7% × 18,101.60 = 1,031.79

Final balance ($):    18,101.60 + 1,031.79 = 19,133.39

<u>Third year</u>:

Start ($):                    19,133.39

Deposit ($):              8,800

Balance ($):             19,133.39 + 8,800 = 27,933.39

Interest($):               5.7% × 27,333.39 = 1,595.20

Final balance ($):    27,933.39 + 1,595.20 = 29,525.59

<u>Fourth year</u>:

Start ($):                   29,525.59

Deposit ($):              8,800

Balance ($):             29,525.59 + 8,800 = 38,325.59

Interest($):               5.7% × 38,325.59 = 2,184.56

Final balance ($):    38,325.59 + 2,184.56 = 40,510.15

A perfectly competitive firm will maximize profit or minimize losses in the short run by producing at the point where:
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive firm faces a horizontal line demand curve at the market-determined price. This demand curve also represents average revenue and marginal revenue.  

The firm is able to maximize profits or minimize loss at the point where the marginal cost is equal to the price or marginal revenue and the price is such that the average fixed cost is being covered.  

In the short run, some costs are fixed while others are variables, a firm is able to minimize losses if the price is greater than AFC. But in the long run, all costs are variable so price should be either higher than or equal to ATC to maximize profits and minimize losses.

If an economist wishes to determine whether there is evidence that mean family income in a community exceeds $50,000, a. either
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

b. a one-tail test should be utilized.

Explanation:

It can be said that the best way for the economist to make this determination would be to use a one-tail test. This is a statistical test in which the critical area of a distribution is one-sided, making it either exceed or fall short of a certain value, but not both as seen in the graph below. Which in this case, the certain value would be $50,000 and the information will be on either side. Thus showing the economist if the mean family income truly exceeds the $50,000
