Answer: cost cutting
Explanation:
3D printing technology is a from of technological innovation which people not many people know about and is less understood by the people and therefore few people might see reason to buy it.
The increase in the competitors offering the product and a price reduction can actually help the product from from the introduction to the growth stage of its life cycle.
The makers of the 3D printers should be more conceened with enhancing distribution, increasing capacity, forecasting and product and process reliability. They should be less concerned about cost-cutting as there are bigger issues to solve.
The team should give serious thought about bidding when the company has excess production capacity that is not being meant to produce more. In that sense it can be in great danger and that would be the ideal point to bid. This action needs to be taken and then more actions, most of them "agressive", would come about, like trying as much as they can to win contracts to supply what they need.
Answer:
15.7 years
Explanation:
We employ a mathematical approach to solve this;
Present value (PV) of $10 per year at start of year, for n years = $100 (lifetime subscription, life = n years)
Now, we need to get the equivalent amount at the end of each year. This is obtainable from the cost of capital. Which is 7% and that is same as 0.07.
Therefore, we are expecting a value of 1+0.07 = 1.07 and this brings the equivalent amount at the end of each year = 10*1.07
Now, this equivalent amount at the end of each year will give;
(10*1.07)(1.07^n - 1)/(0.07*1.07^n) = 100
Where n is the number of years
n = 15.7 years
Answer:
$235,000
Explanation:
The computation of the goodwill amount attributed is shown below:
Common stock $1,660,000
Preferred stock $630,000
Non controlling interest in common stock $415,000
Non controlling interest in preferred stock $270,000
Fair value at acquisition date $2,975,000
Book value $2,740,000 (560,000 + $810,000 + $360,000 + $1,010,000)
Goodwill $235,000
