The benefit cost ratio is 1.564
Explanation:
The benefit-cost ratio is the ratio of the present value of benefits to the present value of costs. It is thus calculated as follows.
Benefit-cost ratio = Present value of benefits / Present value of costs
Present value of costs = $20,000 + $2,500 (P/A, 10%, 10 years)
= $20,000 + $15,361
= $35,361
Present value of benefits = $9,000 (P/A, 10%, 10 years)
= $9,000 x 6.145
= $55,305
Benefit-cost ratio = $55,305 / $35,361
= 1.564
Answer:
A) leveraging new core competencies to improve current market position.
Explanation:
As is given in the scenario, the people that the company Ancho is trying to get are <em>potential customers</em> rather than existing, hence they cannot be said to be building new core competencies <em>to protect and extend current market position</em>. That would have been the case if they were trying to keep those that were already customers to the company.
Ancho cannot also be said to be <em>redeploying existing core competencies to compete in future markets </em>because they are actually acquiring new competencies in electric car manufacturing which was not their original line of business.
There is also no case of <em>unlearning existing core competencies </em>because Anchor has deployed existing competencies in developing a hybrid car rather than just an electric one.
Hence Anchor is trying to get new customers while keeping the old ones and has made a car that will appeal to both existing and potential customers to improve current market position.
