Answer: B) Low cost leadership.

Explanation: This strategy requires detailed and in-depth knowledge of the activities of the value chain to identify those in which cost advantages can be achieved. The analysis of the activities in the value chain is carried out from the point of view of the cost drivers. The main driver in the cost leadership strategy is the experience curve, according to which the unit cost of production decreases with the cumulative number of units produced.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Option B- He acted in good faith.

Explanation:

The person who is trading with the other party owes the duty of care which is well stated in the negligence act. However in this case we saw that though the law was unclear but still the CEO acted in best interest of the public at large by consulting the attorney to shed light on the issue. Remember law is ethically minimum that is desired but in this situation the CEO was committed to comply with law that's why he consulted attorney. So saying that he acted in good faith is the best defense in the court.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B" and "C": Keep an open mind; Separate facts from opinions.

Explanation:

At the moment of solving different-point-of-view issues, it is important to be open-minded, otherwise, we could only remain with our opinion discarding others' critic point of view that could be useful at the moment of taking decisions. Besides, it does not matter if other individuals are biased since we can separate the facts from those points of view. Separating the facts implies analyzing what others have to say in deep regardless of what their emotions can be about that matter. It implies subtracting an objective idea from a subjective point of view.

Bond Yield and After-Tax Cost of Debt A company's 8% coupon rate, semiannual payment, $1,000 par value bond that matures in 20 y
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

9.73%

Explanation:

For computing the after tax cost of debt first we have to determine the cost of debt by applying the RATE formula i.e. to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $604.42

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40

NPER = 20 years × 2 = 40 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  

1. The pretax cost of debt is 6.95% × 2 = 13.9%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 13.9% × ( 1 - 0.30)

= 9.73%
