Answer:

Real rate of return=  0.048 = 4.8%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Nominal rate of return= 11.7%

Inflation rate= 6.9%

<u>To calculate the real rate of return, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Real rate of return= nominal rate of return - inflation rate

Real rate of return= 0.117 - 0.069

Real rate of return=  0.048 = 4.8%

The inflation rate decreases the real value of money through time.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

first-mover advantage

Explanation:

First-mover advantage refers to the strategic advantage achieved by the first company that occupies a market segment. In order for a company to gain first-mover advantage it must be the first company to enter a market or at least be the first company to gain competitive advantage in that market.

Unidice is the first company to gain competitive advantage in the data system market because its processing speed is much higher than its competitors.

Sometimes you don't need to be the first one to enter a market, but you need to be the first one to do things right. For example, Microsoft introduced the Surface tablet almost a decade before Apple introduced the iPad, but Apple did it right, therefore Apple gained first mover advantage.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

C) III

  • III. No, the policy was excluded from Joseph's estate.

Explanation:

It doesn't matter who pays the policy's premiums, what matters is who is the beneficiary of the policy. If the proceeds of the policy are paid to the insured's estate, then they are part of it, but if the proceeds are paid to another beneficiary, then they are not included in the estate.

Since Joseph's wife was the owner and beneficiary of the policy, the proceeds will be paid directly to her. The advantage here is that proceeds from the life insurance policy  are not taxed as income, but if Joseph's state was larger than $5.43 million, then estate taxes might apply.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

If the company decides to process it further, it will increase operating income $68,000

Explanation:

Selling the chemical on processing,

the Sales will be = Gallons of chemical produce × Selling price per gallon

                            = 150,000 × $5

                            = $750,000

Cost of Processing the chemical = $530,000

Operating Income on selling the chemical:

= Sales -  Cost of Processing the chemical

= $750,000 - $530,000

= $220,000

Total cost incurred to process the chemical into a weed killer:

=  Cost of Processing the chemical +

= $532000 + $260,000

= $792,000

Sales of 150,000 gallons of weed killer:

= Selling price per gallon × Chemical produce

= $7.20 × 150,000 gallons

= $1,080,000

Operating income on processing to weed killer:

= Sales of 150,000 gallons of weed killer - Total cost incurred to process the chemical into a weed killer

= $1,080,000  - $792,000

= $288,000

So, If the company decides to process it further, it will increase operating income by:

= Operating income on processing to weed killer - Operating Income on selling the chemical

= $288,000 - $220,000

= $68,000
