Your firm wants to use external sources for new product ideas. After consulting with a friend you learn that all of the followin

astraxan [27]

Answer:

A. The firm's Executives

Explanation:

External Sources to a firm are those sources that are related to be not part of the day to day running of the affairs of the firm. As such the firm's executives are internal sources because they represent the interest of the firm.

In case of a sole proprietorship or partnership business, these executives are the owners of the business while in the case of listed firms, they represent the interest of the owners of the firm. They cannot therefore be regarded as external sources

Competitors are related as they are within the same product line but they are not involved in the daily affairs of the firm, suppliers make raw materials available while customers patronise the business. Trade shows magazine on the other hand independently report the progress of all firms within the industry. These are the external sources.

If the inflation rate was 3.40% and the nominal interest rate was 5.60% over the last year, what was the real rate of interest o

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

2.1276%

Explanation:

$\ $Real Rate$ = \frac{1+nominal}{1+inflation} - 1$

1.056/1.034 -1 = 0,021276595744681 rounding to 4 decimal places:

2.1277%

<u>The reasoning behind this formula is the following:</u>

there is a rate that generate the combine effect of the nominal and the inflation rate

Principal (1+real rate) = Principal x (1+nominal) / (1+ inflation)

removing the principal for clearence:

1+real rate =(1+nominal) x (1+ inflation)

real rate = (1+nominal) x (1+ inflation) - 1

Which of the following statements is FALSE?A) We say a portfolio is an efficient portfolio whenever it is possible to find anoth

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The false statement is letter "A": We say a portfolio is an efficient portfolio whenever it is possible to find another portfolio that is better in terms of both expected return and volatility.

Explanation:

An effective portfolio is a portfolio with the highest expected revenue for a given risk level or a portfolio with the lowest risk level for a given expected revenue. When the portfolio has reached either one of the two points it is said that it has reached its efficient frontier.

In that case, option "A" is false since the portfolio efficiency has nothing to do with the similarity it may have with another one.
