Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
Probability that Bikul wrecks the car is 0.10
loss of wrecking the car is $100000
Therefore risk of wrecking the car = Probability x loss
risk = 0.10 x 100000 = 10,000
premium can be equated with risk, hence premium = $10000
Answer:
a. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in February
b. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in March
c. If Aji's Factory is nearly at full capacity of production in March, what will happen to Aji's Factory price elasticity of supply in April?
- If the company is producing at full capacity, then its price elasticity of supply will be perfectly inelastic even if the price increases. This is because any increase in price will not affect the quantity supplied because the company cannot increase it even if they wanted to.
Explanation:
price elasticity of supply = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price
It measures the proportional change in the quantity supplied that producers will make given a 1% change in the price of their product.
PES February = [(110 - 80)/80] / [(2.5 - 2)/2] = 0.375 / 0.25 = 1.5
PES March = [(140 - 110)/110] / [(3 - 2.5)/2.5] = 0.273 / 0.2 = 1.36
Answer:
d. retail positioning matrix
Explanation:
In the example, it is noted that Boston Market has added value to its original restaurant format (with pickup, delivery...) on the one hand. On the other hand, they broadened the product line with the grocery foods. The two factors imply the axes of the <em>retail positioning matrix.</em>
The <em>retail life cycle</em> is an often confused topic that is similar to the <em>product life cycle</em> (which is related to products and services exclusively) conceptually. It consists of the following phases: innovation, growth, maturity and decline. Although this example can be correlated to the <em>innovation </em>phase of the retail life cycle, we cannot pinpoint the Boston Market's place on the retail life cycle curve, as we do not have info about its competitors, market share and other external info. Therefore, we cannot detect whether the company is in its up or down phase.
The <em>wheel of retailing</em> is an irrelevant concept, which refers to the tendency that most retailers enter a market in an extremely competitive manner (low cost, for example) and then becomes more exclusive (high cost, better reputation...).
Answer:
The following have been discovered to be of help in reducing stress for law enforcement and public safety officials such as the Police and Military.
- Attaining and maintaining work-life balance
- deliberately taking out time for leisure activities
- Keeping a very positive mindset always
- setting and pursuing after goals and avoiding procrastination
- Planning their daily work for enhanced effectiveness
Explanation:
Stress amongst law enforcement officials and public safety officials has become very crucial due to the following reasons:
1. It's easy for stress to go on for a prolonged period of time in the lives of these officials because of the nature of their work.
2. They are always in the face of danger and have to take life-or-death decisions/risks very often.
3. Relative inconclusive nature of their work
4. Frequent changes in shifts
5. Financial challenges and
6. In some cases health challenges of the officers in question or loved ones.
Stress amongst Law enforcement officials are very difficult to track because as they are trained to be and look tough...hence a the thinking is that a demonstration of weakness or admission of challenges could be interpreted as incompetence or inability to continue on the job.
Cheers!
