Answer:

A) Design competition

Explanation:

Digital watch manufacturers and manufacturers of analog watches  compete against each other because their products basically satisfy the same needs. Each one offers a very different product with its pros and cons, but even though their products are so different, they can be considered substitutes.

In the concept of innovation streams, Curtab is the innovator that is trying to create a sustainable competitive advantage because it works by designing an innovative product while its competitors rely on updating old designs.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Caliber Corp. currently pays no dividends because it requires its internally generated funds be used to fund a research intensiv
Andreyy89

Answer:

Do =  $2.00

D1= Do(1+g)1 =  $2(1+0.2)1 = $2.40

D2= Do(1+g)2 = $2(1+0.2)2 = $2.88

D3= Do(1+g)3 = $2(1+0.2)3 = $3.456

D4= Do(1+g)4 = $2(1+0.2)4 = $4.1472

D5= Do(1+g)5 = $2(1+0.2)5 = $4.97664

PHASE 1

V1 = D1/1+ke + D2/(1+ke)2 + D3/(1+ke)3 +D4/(1+ke)4 + D5/(1+ke)5

V1 = 2.40/(1+0.15) + 2.88/(1+0.15)2 + 3.456/(1+0.15)3 + 4.1472/(1+0.15)4 + 4.97664/(1+0.15)5

V1 = $2.0870 + $2.1777 +  $2.2723 + $2.3712 + $2.4742

V1 = $11.3824

PHASE 2

V2 = DN(1+g)/ (Ke-g )(1+k e)n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

V2 = $4.97664(1+0.02)/(0.15-0.02)(1+0.02)5      

V2 = $5.0762/0.1435

V2 = $35.3742

Po = V1 + V2

Po = $11.3824 + $35.3742

Po = $46.76

Explanation: This is a typical question on valuation of shares with two growth rate regimes. In the first phase, the value of the share would be obtained by capitalizing the dividend for each year by the cost of equity of the company. The dividend for year 1 to year 5 was obtained by subjecting the current dividend paid(Do) to growth rate. The growth rate In the first regime was 20%.

In the second phase, the value of shares would be calculated by taking cognizance of the second growth rate of 2%. In this phase, the last dividend paid in year 5 would be discounted at the appropriate discount rate after it has been adjusted for growth.

If the demand curve is linear and downward sloping, which of the following statements is not correct? Select one: a. Starting fr
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

If a demand curve is linear and downward sloping, different points on the line can show different values of slope. The value of slope will be equal to the ratio of change in price to change in quantity demanded. The value of slope will be the same throughout the line.

The price elasticity is the ratio of change in quantity to change in price. The price elasticity can be different for different points on the demand curve.

The points on the lower parts are more inelastic while the points on the upper portion are more elastic. The midpoint represents unit price elasticity.

Since the upper portion is more price elastic, an increase in price will cause a more than proportionate decrease in the quantity demanded. This will cause the total revenue to decrease.
