I believe open source offers over proprietary solutions,FLEXIBILITY AND AGILITY,SPEED,COST EFFECTIVENESS,ABILITY TO START SMALL,SOLID INFORMATION SECURITY, ATTRACT BETTER TALENT,SHARE MAINTENANCE COSTS. ... THE FUTURE. and also have some <span>Disadvantages.</span>
The main disadvantage of open-source software is not being
straightforward to use. Open-source operating systems like Linux cannot
be learned in a day. They require effort and possibly training from your
side before you are able to master them. You may need to hire a trained
person to make things easier, but this will incur additional costs.
Answer:
E)
Explanation:
It was prepared for this because Starbucks tracked, as part of its ongoing environmental scanning activities, the percentage of households with single-cup brewers. The data that they managed to gather through this study allowed them to quickly determine that there was a large percentage of households with single-cup brewers and therefore the customer base was there. Having a large customer base would drastically increase their chances of obtaining massive profits by simply providing the necessary product to those households, which they plan to do with this partnership.

Answer:
The stock A is most valuable as the fair value of Stock A is $100 which is more than the fair value of Stock B ( $83.33) and Stock C ($34.28).
Explanation:
to calculate the fair price of the stocks, we will use the DDM or dividend discount model. The DDM bases the value of a stock on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.
Let r be the discount rate which is 10%.
a.
The stock is like a perpetuity as it pays a constant dividend after equal intervals of time and for an indefinite period.
The price of this stock can be calculated as,
Price or P0 = Dividend / r
P0 = 10 / 0.1 = $100
b.
The constant growth model of DDM can be used to calculate the price of this stock as its dividends are growing at a constant rate forever.
P0 = D1 / r - g
Where,
- D1 is the dividend for the next period
- r is the cost of equity or discount rate
- g is the growth rate in dividends
P0 = 5 / (0.1 - 0.04)
P0 = $83.33
c.
The price of this stock can be calculated using the present of dividends.
P0 = 5 / (1+0.1) + 5 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.1)^2 + 5 * (1+0.2)^2 / (1+0.1)^3 +
5 * (1+0.2)^3 / (1+0.1)^4 + 5 * (1+0.2)^4 / (1+0.1)^5 + 5 * (1+0.2)^5 / (1+0.1)^6
P0 = $34.28
Answer: $6,000,000
Explanation: This could be calculated as follows :-
sales for sporting goods = 65% of $2,220,000
= $ 1,443,000
sales for sports gear = 35% of $2,220,000
= $ 777,000
Now, calculating for contribution :-
Sporting goods = 30% of $ 1,443,000
= $ 432900
Sports gear = 50% of 777000
=$ 388500
Therefore :-
total contribution margin = $388500 + 433900 = $ 821400
overall margin contribution = (821400/2220000)*100 = 37%
Break even point = 2220000/0.37 = $6,000,000
