Answer:
This is an example of how technological forces are applied to industry.
Explanation:
This here is a clear example of how an industry can enjoy benefits of technological up gradation and also goes on to show how we can apply such technological up gradations to a particular industry.
The example given in the question of such an ink which can print circuitry, is a huge game changer in the industry as the cost of radio frequency tag would be driven down , giving the chance to the firms in the industry to book more profit than before.
Answer:
After assessing the market growth potential and market competitiveness in Mexico for his company's baby products, Harold wanted to evaluate market access. To do this, Harold would consider ease of assessing or developing distribution channels and brand familiarity
<u>Explanation: </u>
Harold would, first of all, find out the ease in accessing the market. If he finds that it is easy to access the market or target the consumers than he will develop distribution channels. Distribution channels take lots of time and effort.

Answer and Explanation:
1> Let's solve the standard economic model first based on rational expectation.
Since the medium willingness to pay is $5, we can assume half the people have more willingness to pay than $5 and half the people have less. (Since it's a large class, we can assume this)
So, half of them who got the mug will sell, according to standard theory.
2> Now behavioral economist will disagree. People who got the mug, get an emotional and nostalgic attachment with it, thus they would not like to sell it because they get utility after having something, so by behavioral theory, less than half of pupils who got the mug will sell.
Answer:
A. NPV for A= $61,658.06
NPV for B = $25,006.15
B. 1.36
1.17
Project A
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calcuated using a financial calculator
for project A :
Cash flow in
Year 0 = $(172,325)
Year 1 41,000
Year 2 47,000
Year 3 85,295
Year 4 86,400
Year 5 56,000
I = 10%
NPV = $61,658.06
for project B
year 0 = $ (145,960)
Cash flow in
Year 1 27,000
Year 2 52,000
Year 3 50,000
Year 4 71,000
Year 5 28,000
I = 10%
NPV = $25,006.15
profitability index = 1 + NPV / Initial investment
for project A, PI = $61,658.06 / 172,325 = 1.36
For project B, PI = $25,006.15 / 145,960 = 1.17
The project with the greater NPV and PI should be chosen. this is project A.
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
