Answer:

The integration or growth of a company can occur horizontally or vertically, depending on whether it acquires competing companies that develop their business in parallel (horizontal integration), or it acquires companies or businesses that are in a different stage of the production process (companies that generate raw materials, transport, marketing, etc.).

Thus, if Electrolux expands its business by acquiring a competitor such as Whirlpool, it will be a case of horizontal integration. In contrast, if Electrolux acquires a company dedicated to the marketing of products, such as Best Buy, it will be a case of vertical integration.

Answer:

In the absence of technological innovation, massive capital investments yielded diminishing marginal returns.

Explanation:

The economy of the Soviet Union was a command economy where the government decided how resources would be allocated. The four factors of production are land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship. In a command economy, entrepreneurship is virtually nonexistent, so that leaves three factors: land, labor and capital.

The government allocated a lot of resources into increasing the capital factor, but capital factor will always yield diminishing marginal returns unless new technological innovations are developed. During many years, the Soviet Union was the technological leader of the world, but as time passed and with a complete absence of entrepreneurship, technological advances halted.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

The return after taxes is 7.9%

Explanation:

At the start of the year the portfolio is valued at $365,000.

At the end, his portfolio has returns by dividends ($3,579), interests ($2,783) and portolio's valuation (389,648-365,000=$24,648).

The tax is applied to the dividends and interests, as:

Tax = 0.35 * (3579+2783) = 0.35*6362 = $2,226.70

We can then calculate the investor's return as

R = profit after taxes / initial portfolio valuation

R = ((3579 + 2783 - 2226.70)+24648)/365000

R= 28,783.30 / 365,000 = 0.079 = 7.9%

Cash receipts from sales on account for April = $400,000 * 75%

Cash receipts = $300,000

April

Cash receipts from sales on account for April = $450,000 * 25%
