Answer: Option D  

Explanation: In simple words, technology upgrading refers to the process in which a firm intensely changes the level of technology it is using for its operations. In such a process the organisation implements a more advanced technology so that it can enhance the operational activities within.

Technology up gradation is a necessity in today's competitive business environment but if implemented in a right way it can give an organisation a strong competitive advantage which will open new doors to success.

     For example automobile industries upgraded their technology to a higher level which made the operation at such a high scale that it became an oligopoly industry.

An oligopoly industry is the one in which there are few firms operating at a high scale with difficulty in entry due to heavy investments.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

2.6%

Explanation:

Jensen Measure is calculated using the below formula

Jensen Alpha = Rp - (Rf + beta*(Rm - Rf))

Where Rp = Return on portfolio = 20%, Rf = risk free rate = 3%, Beta = Beta of portfolio = 1.8 and Rm = Market return = 11%

Jensen Alpha = 20 - (3 + 1.8*(11-3))

Jensen Alpha = 20 - (3 + 1.8*8)

Jensen Alpha = 20 - (3 + 14.4)

Jensen Alpha = 20 - 17.4

Jensen Alpha = 2.6%
