Answer: a. 0.042 b. 0.086 c. 0.00692
Explanation:
NOTE: Convert months to years. So 24 months = 2 years.
a. Six months
Months to year conversion gives: 6months/24months as 1/4 years
= (1 + 18%)^ 1/4 — 1 x 100%
= 1.042 — 1
= 0.042
Equivalent Discount Rate = 0.042
b. One year
12months/24months as 1/2 years
= (1 + 18%)^1/2 — 1 x 100%
= 0.086
Equivalent Discount Rate = 0.086
c. 1 month
1month/24months as 1/24 years
= (1 + 18%)^1/24 — 1 x 100%
= 0.00692
Answer:
A) leveraging new core competencies to improve current market position.
Explanation:
As is given in the scenario, the people that the company Ancho is trying to get are <em>potential customers</em> rather than existing, hence they cannot be said to be building new core competencies <em>to protect and extend current market position</em>. That would have been the case if they were trying to keep those that were already customers to the company.
Ancho cannot also be said to be <em>redeploying existing core competencies to compete in future markets </em>because they are actually acquiring new competencies in electric car manufacturing which was not their original line of business.
There is also no case of <em>unlearning existing core competencies </em>because Anchor has deployed existing competencies in developing a hybrid car rather than just an electric one.
Hence Anchor is trying to get new customers while keeping the old ones and has made a car that will appeal to both existing and potential customers to improve current market position.
