Answer:

This question is incomplete, it misses the options. The options are the following:

a) Commercialization

b) Concept testing

c) Prototype development

And the correct answer is the option C: Prototype development.

Explanation:

On the one hand, the stage of "product screening" is when the company and its employees can pare down the list of viable ideas to the ones that will only match the organization's strategic goals that they are looking for.

On the other hand, the "prototype devolopment" stage involves the fact of getting those viable ideas into touchable models that the managers can try in real life experience more than just in the papers. Therefore that in this stage is when the employees build a product model based on clear product descriptions.

Strawberry Strawberry

Sales 253,200 167,600 85600 Decrease

Variable costs 201,400 124,200 77200 Decrease

Fixed costs allocated 35,600 28,480 7120 Decrease

Operating profit (loss) 13,200 14,920 (1720) Increase

Working

Total Fixed Costs Reduced will be = 35,600 *20%= 7120

Here we see the profit is increased by 1720 therefore strawberry line should be dropped.

Yes Strawberry line should be dropped as it reduces the overall profit by$ 3600

Working

We find the totals with and without the strawberry product line and then subtract to find the differential costs

Sales $65,200 $85,600 $102,400 253,200

Variable costs 44,000 77,200 80,200 201,400

If we drop the strawberry line then the new totals would be

We have assumed that the fiscal policy variables G and T are independent of the level of income. In the real world, however, th

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

A) attached below

B) $\frac{1}{1 -C1 + c1 t1}$

C) The fiscal policy is called an automatic stabilizer because the taxes are dependent on the level of income and also the output of the multiplier is more stable because it doesn't respond to rapid changes in fiscal policies.

Explanation:

Given data:

C = Co + C1YD

T = t0 + t1Y

YD = Y - T

G and I are both constant

C1 lies between 0 and 1 while T1 lies between 0 and 1

A ) solving for equilibrum output

attached below

B) The multiplier

Multiplier = $\frac{1}{1 -C1 +c1t1}$

The economy responds to changes in autonomous spending when t1 is 0 but responds less when t1 is positive, this is because the more positive t1 is the lower the multiplier value

c) The fiscal policy is called an automatic stabilizer because the taxes are dependent on the level of income and also the output of the multiplier is more stable because it doesn't respond to rapid changes in fiscal policies.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": not restricting trade.

Explanation:

Hypothetically speaking a country that is not involved in any trading activity will not have to deal with restrictions. Besides, that country could focus on the specialization of domestic production. However, it is more than likely such a country will need the help of others in the attempt to satisfying the diverse needs of its inhabitants. Countries that prohibit exports and imports nowadays are Cuba, North Korea, Iran, and Syria just to mention a few.
