Answer:
A) threats of substitute products and services
Explanation:
Porter's five forces model is used to evaluate how a company competes in a certain market. This makes it possible to analyze factors such as threat of new entrants, threat of new substitutes, competitive rivalry, bargaining power of buyers and suppliers because they affect a company's profitability. In this case, NuBreed's fertilizer is a substitute product for Tom and his family's liquid spray fertilizer. This makes it an example of a threat of substitute product and service in the Porter's five forces model.
The grace period, during which a policy remain in force even though the premium has not been paid depends on the state. But generally, a grace period of 7 days is usually allowed for weekly premium payments, ten days for monthly payment and thirty one days for other policies.
To compute for the rate for the year, the formula that we
will be using would be the r = I / Pt.
Where:
r = interest rate
I = interest; to solve for the interest, we know that our
principal value is $30,000 and our future value is $42,135, just deduct the $30,000
from there, and you can get the interest. $42,135 – $30,000 = $12,135
P = principal = $30,000
t = time = 3 years
r = 12,135 / (30,000) (3)
r = 12,135 / 90,000
r = 0.1348 or 13.48%
to check, use the I = Prt then just add the Principal to get
the future value
I = Prt
= 30,000 * 0.1348 * 3
= 12,135
Future value = P + I
= 30,000 + 12,135
= 42, 135

Answer: Theory X
Explanation:
A Theory X manager refuses to believe that workers can be internally motivated. They believe that workers are lazy, lack ambition and hate to work and so there is a need to continually push them to work.
This push can come in the form of punishment, rewards or prompting. Luka yells at his workers to push them to work by prompting them to. This style is generally looked down on today.
Answer: suggests that the firm's previous choices were not the best ones.
Explanation: For a long-tenured top-level manager to make such proclamation, shows the inefficiencies of the firm which he is a part of. He obviously has been with the firm for a very long time and making that proclamation will also be a dent in his image as a manager.
