julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Product differentiation is a competitive strategy that aims to make the consumer perceive the good or service offered by a company differently from those of the competition.

mariarad [96]

Answer: Company should not expand to either.

Explanation:

Find the expected values of expanding to either country and pick the country with the highest expected value:

China:

= ∑(Probability of outcome * Outcome)

= (20% * 2,000,000) + (30% * 1,000,000) + (50% * -2,000,000)

= -$300,000

Vietnam:

= (70% * 1,000,000) + (30% * -2,500,000)

= -$50,000

<em>Both countries result in an expected loss so company should not expand to either of them. </em>

Suppose that the annual rate of returns on dollar deposits equals 2% and the rate of return on euro deposits is 1%. Furthermore,
Oliga [24]

Answer:

I should invest in dollar deposits.

Explanation:

Current exchange rate is 1 euro = $1.08

Assuming I have y euro, the equivalent in dollar is $1.08y

Rate of return on dollar deposit = 2% = 0.02

Return on investment = $1.08y + (0.02 × $1.08y) = $1.08y + $0.0216y = $1.1016y

Rate of return on euro deposit = 1% = 0.01

Return on investment = y euro + (0.01 × y euro) = y euro + 0.01 y euro = 1.01y euro = 1.01y × $1.08 = $1.0908y

I should invest in dollar deposits because the return on investment is greater than euro deposits.
