The correct answer to fill in the blank is product extension.
Answer:
Imagine you have just flicked a lighter. If you don’t see the flame, you will naturally try a second time. If after the second attempt it does not strike a flame, you will repeat your action again and again until it does. Eventually, you’ll see the flame and you’ll know that your lighter works. But what if it doesn’t? How long are you going to flick the lighter until you decide to give up?
Our everyday life is full of such decision dilemmas and uncertainty. We constantly have to choose between options, whether we make the most ordinary decisions – should I continue flicking this lighter? – or life-changing choices – should I leave this relationship? We can either keep on doing what we are already used to do, or risk unexplored options that could turn out much more valuable.
Some people are naturally inclined to take more chances, while others prefer to hold on to what they know best. Yet being curious and explorative is fundamental for humans and animals to find out how best to harvest resources such as water, food or money. While looking at the Belém Tower – a symbol of Portugal’s great maritime discoveries – from my office window, I often wonder what drives people to explore the unknown and what goes on in their brains when weighing pros and cons for trying something new. To answer these questions, together with Dr. Zachary Mainen and his team of neuroscientists, we investigate how the brain deals with uncertainty when making decisions.
Explanation:
It is well known that the decision-making process results from communication between the prefrontal cortex (working memory) and hippocampus (long-term memory). However, there are other regions of the brain that play essential roles in making decisions, but their exact mechanisms of action still are unknown.

Answer:
Sandra's creditor must determine if the APR for the loan exceeds the average prime offer rate by:
1.5 percentage points
Explanation:
The first mortgage loan principal should not exceed the conforming loan limit for the area where Sandra lives at the time that she secures the loan approval. It behooves on Sandra’s creditor to determine if the annual percentage rate (APR) for the mortgage loan exceeds the average prime offer rate (or the sample rate that is a representative of the APRs charged by creditors for mortgage loans that have low-risk pricing characteristics) by 1.5 percentage points.
Answer:
Variable cost Per Unit $2.50
Explanation:
Total cost at high activity = $8100
Total Cost at Low activity = $3600
Total Units at high activity = 2400
Total Units at low Activity = 600
Variable Cost Per Unit = (High activity total Cost - Low activity total cost ) / (High Activity unit - low activity units)
Variable cost per unit = ($8100 - $3600) / (2400 - 600) = $4500 / 1800 = $2.50
Answer:
$225,000
Explanation:
Federal corporate income tax (21% flat rate)
$1,000,000 x 21% = $210,000
Federal dividend tax (15%).
$100,000 x 15% = $15,000
Dividens are neither expenses nor deductible, so they do not reduce the amount of corporate taxable income. Therefore we must add up the two quantities.
$210,000 + $15,000 = $225,000
