$127.27

Price index is (new year/old year)*100

If 2005 is the base/old year, then:

$700/550 = 1.27273 * 100 = $127.27

Price index is used to show inflation from year to year by the change in price for the same goods in a base year to current year. Price index for the base year compared to the base year will always be 100, so anything above that shows inflation.

Answer:

The current ratio is 1.18 times

Explanation:

Current Ratio: The current ratio is that ratio which shows a relationship between the current assets and the current liabilities

The computation of the current ratio is shown below

Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities

where,

Total current assets = Cash + short-term investments + net accounts receivable + merchandise inventory

=  $43,500 + $27,000 + $102,000 + $125,000

= $297,500

And, the total current liabilities is $251,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the ratio would equal to

= $297,500 ÷ $251,000

= 1.18 times

The long term note payable is not a current liabilities,hence it is not considered in the computation part.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

1.5 cars

Explanation:

Three employees can produce a total of:

= 4 × 3

= 12 cars in an hour.

Five employees can produce a total of:

= 3 × 5

= 15 cars in an hour

So, the increase in total product of labor as I increase the labor from 3 to 5 employees:

= Total product when 5 employees are hired - Total products when 3 employees are hired

= 15 - 12

= 3 cars.

So, the marginal product of moving from 3 to 5 workers:

= 3 ÷ 2

= 1.5 cars

melisa1 [442]

The correct answer would be option D, India has high import tariffs.

Mark feels that Darren is too optimistic and that this venture may not turn out to be as profitable as Darren expects it to be. Darren's view is based on the assumption that India has high import tariffs.

Explanation:

When companies import or export products in or out of the country, they are usually charged with a duty which they have to pay on the import or export of the products. This is called as the Tariff.

While considering the export of a product to another country, the import tariffs of that other country has a pretty much impact on the profits of that company's Sales. Higher the tariffs, lower the profits and vice versa.

So when Mark wanted to export his product to India, Darren was with the view that India has high import tariffs which will restrict them to have huge profits of exporting their product.

When Tesla first launched their electric vehicles in the United States, they deviated from the norm in the automobile industry a
Damm [24]

Answer:

The choice of Tesla is known as Forward Integration.

According to the principles of Transaction Cost Economics, this is a good decision.

Explanation:

Companies sometimes take over the operations/businesses that deal with the distribution and supply of their products and or services. This move is known as forward integration.

Traditionally, companies focus on production then bring in middle-men such as Franchise owners, wholesales, dealers, and retailers to distribute their merhandise to the end user. Whilst there are associated benefits with this model, it's been found that the interests of the middle men also generate considerable costs.

In order to competitive advantage, companies are modifying their business models such that end users can deal directly with them thus reducing the final price of their goods and or services making them more accessible and easier to purchase for the consumers.

Transaction Cost Economics refers to the various ways in which an organisation can be set up in order to manage or control the costs associated with its transactions. The goal of transaction cost economics is to reduce overall costs in order to optimize profits, stay competitive and maintain growth by managing and modifying organisational structures and business models.

The most optimized organisational structure/business model is that which is able to attain the highest efficiency possible by operating at the lowest cost possible.

Good or Bad Decision

The market for motor vehicles is an oligopoly.

Therefore, price is an important factor to consider. As a more recent entrant into that space, this is very crucial for Tesla.

Tesla is not only entering into a market dominated by giants, but is also tryin to modify the way people know to drive cars (at least in most parts of the world). Therefore, it is a great move that it is going with a Price Penetration Strategy. Thus by cutting off the Franchise-Oriented dealerships and selling directly, Tesla is able to retain control over the price of it's vehicles.

The whole essence of reducing it's costs is so that it is able to make its products available to the consumers as an alternative to fossile fuel powered vehicles at the lowest cost possible. Despite it's best efforts, there are still petrol powered cars that are at least $10,000 cheaper that what Tesla is offering.

Besides price, one major factor that influences the choice to go with hybrid or 100% of electric cars is that they are clean and very environmental friendly.

Cheers!
