Answer:

The name of the product is Coke and this is a Pestel Analysis.

PESTEL is short for Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal. All representing factors that can and will impact the operations of any business.

Explanation:

Coca-Cola is a global company with is in the business of providing refreshments to its customers by the sale of Soda or soft drinks. Because of the nature of the product, the industry in which they play is heavily regulated and they must use the best technology in order to stay relevant, competitive, and dominant in the market.  

 

<em>Political factors</em>

One of the regulators to whom Coca-cola must dance to its tune is the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) a Federal Agency of the Department of Health and Human Services in the US. All Coca-cola product must meet their requirements as stipulated by law. If the laws enforced by FDA changes it could adversely affect the distribution, taxes, accounting, and all other operations of Coca-Cola.  

 

<em>Economical factors</em>

Some economic factors that may affect a business like Coca-cola are:

Interest rates, exchange rates, recession, Inflation, Taxes, Demand / Supply.

One critical factor in this group which the company must be on the lookout for always is changes in taste and demand. Consumers are making a shift globally towards more healthy alternatives to soda. This is because, as the world becomes more sedentary due to shifts in global economic patterns as induced by the pandemic, risk factors relating to health care on the increase. Hence consumers want to ensure that they cut down on foods and beverages that increase their predisposition to conditions such as obesity, cancer, high blood pressure, etc.

To stay relevant and competitive, the company has to seek out healthy drinks that speak to all the various localities (which are over 200 countries).

<em> </em>

<em>Social factors</em>

Examples of social factors that can affect a business are:

e-commerce adaptation, purchasing habits, ease of adoption of technology, changes in customer service expectation, the education level of consumers.

The purchasing habit for Coca-cola is changing in lots of countries. People are becoming more predisposed to buying products online. How will that affect the demand for the company's products? Will it increase as online food orders increase? can the company position itself to take advantage of the trend? If yes, then it is making taking advantage of its changing social environment.

Technological factors

Adoption of best-in-class machinery is one of the strategies that has enabled Coca-Cola to achieve higher quality and quantity of its products. Speed of delivery, processes that are optimized for the lowest costs and highest outputs are now being made possible with advances in technology. Coca-cola is taking advantage of technology especially in regions such as Europe.  

Legal factors

Product liability, third-party liability, employer-employee (labor) relations, compliance, and regulatory factors are all within the scope of Coca-Cola's legal universe.  Constantly managing this space of its operations will keep it from experiencing avoidable erosion of its bottom line and brand equity.

<em>Environmental factors</em>

Companies no longer compete on the basis of profitability alone. Global companies are the target of onslaughts from those who campaign against the degradation of the environment. One way they do so is to discourage the consumption of the goods of a company whose activities are harming the environment.

So companies all over the world are not competing based on the triple bottom line criteria: People, Planet, Profit.

This answers the questions whether

  1. Coca-cola is in compliance with international best practices as far as labor law is concerned;
  2. How does the company handle its effluents and wastes? is it just discharging them into the earth without treatment? or is it creatively converting them into economic products? how responsible is the company socially?
  3. then of course there is the issue of keeping the books in the black

Answer:

When  ATC curve is​ decreasing, we know that the MC curve is

below the ATC curve​, and when the ATC curve is​ increasing, we know that MC is  above the ATC curve

ATC refers to average total cost and MC refers to marginal cost, these both curve derive from total cost when MC is below ATC curve it shows that MC is less than ATC at that point ATC is falling.

Likewise, when MC is above ATC curve it shows MC is grater than ATC curve and at that point ATC is rising.

furthermore, when MC is equal to ATC at that point ATC is at minimum point.

Tutak Industries issued a $1,000 face value bond a number of years ago that will mature in eight years. Similar bonds are yieldi
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: The coupon rate is 13%

Explanation:

We would first calculate the Coupon Payment and then later using the coupon payment we would compute the Coupon rate.

PV = \frac{FV}{(1+r)^{N} } + A [[\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+r)^{N} } }{r} ]]

Where,

FV = $1,000

PV = $1,291.31

r = 8%

N = 8 Years

A = Coupon Payment

1291.31 = \frac{1000}{(1+0.08)^{8} } + A [\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+0.08)^{8} } }{0.08} ]

Solve for A

A = 130.69

The coupon payment is $130

Coupon rate = (Coupon payment / Face value) x 100

                     = \frac{130}{1000} x 100

                     = 13 %

f interest rate parity (IRP) exists, then triangular arbitrage will not be possible. A. true. B. false.
Levart [38]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

Arbitrage refers to a situation wherein a gain is made owing to price discrepancy or unevenness in two markets. The rule for arbitrage is to buy from the markets where price is less and sell in the markets where price is higher.

Triangular arbitrage occurs wherein 3 different currencies are involved and the exchange rates are not uniform i.e a discrepancy exists and interest rate parity does not hold true.

Interest rate parity refers to the concept wherein the disparity between two currency exchange rates is adjusted by the respective interest rates of the two countries. When interest rate parity exists, no arbitrage is possible as markets are fairly priced.
