Answer:
1) Line extension
Explanation:
A product line is made up of a group of products manufactured by the same company and all of them are branded under the same name, e.g. Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero
When companies extends their product line, they are adding new products to an existing product line, benefiting from consumers' loyalty to the existing brand.
Answer:
The correct option is (d)
Explanation:
Products have a cycle starting from introduction, growth, maturity and decline. This is called product life cycle. Considerable investment is required at introduction stage. Once the product is profitable, it enters growth stage and at maturity, it is at the most profitable stage. A product reaches decline stage as competitors step in and better products are made available in the market.
By adding features to its models, BMW is trying to lengthen its product life cycle so as to avoid the product's entry to decline stage soon.
Answer:
The Earned Income credit
Explanation:
Many economists choose the earned income credit (EIC) over the increase in minimum wage because it avoids deadweight losses. Deadweight losses results when supply are demand are not in equilibrium (Market Inefficiency). Increases in minimum wages invariably leads to increase in prices of market goods which are overpriced. This leads to market Inefficiency.
So in trying to help low income earners, many economists choose the EIC over just increasing minimum wage.
The earned Income Credit helps certain tax payers with low incomes from work in a particular tax year. It reduces the amount of tax owed and may result in a refund to the tax payers if the amount of credit is greater than the amount of tax owed.
We are forced to make choices in our day to day life because our resources are limited.
An example of this limited resources is our financial resources, we need to work to earn money to buy our necessities to live a comfortable life. Simply put, no work no pay. No pay, no food. No food, no life. So, no choice but work.
