Answer:

True

Explanation:

McDonald's sells a lo different meals, and it also changes its meals depending on the countries at which they operate. E.g. in Mexico you can order McMolletes which are a type of breakfast meal (I guess), but you can also order burritos and other traditional Mexican food. In Germany, you can order Nürnberger which is a type of sausage sandwich, and the list goes on and on for every country at which they operate.

Also McDonald's offers the great advantage of selling cheap food. Basically their restaurants are among the cheapest food you can eat at many different countries, and at least you know they are prepared following certain standards (specially cleanliness).

Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Product differentiation is a competitive strategy that aims to make the consumer perceive the good or service offered by a company differently from those of the competition.

The cost leadership strategy is to find and maintain a low cost position compared to the competition, this will allow the company to obtain higher returns than the industry average.

There is a relationship between the cost leadership strategy and the possession of a high market share, this is because having a high market share allows the appearance of economies of scale and economies of experience, both contribute to reducing unit costs.

Why does the market portfolio include all risky assets?
Bezzdna [24]
Under the CAPM, all investors hold the market portfolio because it is the optimal risky portfolio. Because it produces the highest attainable return for any given risk level, all rational investors will seek to be on the straight line tangent to the efficient set at the steepest point, which is the market portfolio. Branliest would be nice (:

In order to better understand what motivates human beings, Maslow proposed that human needs can be organized into a hierarchy.

Maslow organized human needs into a pyramid that includes (from lowest-level to highest-level) physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization needs.

Physiological needs - these are biological requirements for human survival, e.g. air, food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, sex, sleep.

If these needs are not satisfied the human body cannot function optimally. Maslow considered physiological needs the most important as all the other needs become secondary until these needs are met.

2. Safety needs - once an individual’s physiological needs are satisfied, the needs for security and safety become salient. People want to experience order, predictability and control in their lives. These needs can be fulfilled by the family and society (e.g. police, schools, business and medical care).

For example, emotional security, financial security (e.g. employment, social welfare), law and order, freedom from fear, social stability, property, health and wellbeing (e.g. safety against accidents and injury).

3. Love and belongingness needs - after physiological and safety needs have been fulfilled, the third level of human needs is social and involves feelings of belongingness. Belongingness, refers to a human emotional need for interpersonal relationships, affiliating, connectedness, and being part of a group.

Examples of belongingness needs include friendship, intimacy, trust, and acceptance, receiving and giving affection, and love.

4. Esteem needs are the fourth level in Maslow’s hierarchy and include self-worth, accomplishement and respect. Maslow classified esteem needs into two categories: (i) esteem for oneself (dignity, achievement, mastery, independence) and (ii) the desire for reputation or respect from others (e.g., status, prestige).

Maslow indicated that the need for respect or reputation is most important for children and adolescents and precedes real self-esteem or dignity.

5. Self-actualization needs are the highest level in Maslow's hierarchy, and refer to the realization of a person's potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences. Maslow (1943) describes this level as the desire to accomplish everything that one can, to become the most that one can be.

Individuals may perceive or focus on this need very specifically. For example, one individual may have a strong desire to become an ideal parent. In another, the desire may be expressed economically, academically or athletically. For others, it may be expressed creatively, in paintings, pictures, or inventions.

To record purchase of 1,000 shares at $24 per share plus commission.

Explanation:

a) Trading securities are a category of securities that include both debt securities and equity securities.   An entity holds them with the intention  to sell in the short-term for a profit that arises from increases in the prices of the securities.

b) Fair value is an asset's selling price, which is freely agreed upon between a willing and knowledgeable buyer and seller.  But, for Debt Securities, it represents the market value of the investments at any point in time when financial statements are being prepared.  Investments that are held for trading purposes are required to be accounted for, using the fair value method.  This implies that the gains and losses, both realized and unrealized must be accounted for whenever financial statements are bing prepared or when the investment is disposed of.
