soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": threat of new entrants is most likely low.

Explanation:

According to American Harvard professor Michael Porter (born in 1947), the Five Forces determine the competition in a market: competition in the industry, the threat of new entrants into the market, bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of customers, and the threat of substitutes.

The threat of new entrants is stronger if the product of a given market is undifferentiated and does not offer any competitive advantage for consumers. Besides, the less established a company is, the more likely new entrants will appear with the intention of taking over the market.

Therefore, if the internet service provider of Megalopolis has high brand loyalty, economies of scale, and proprietary technology it implies the firm offers differential advantages to its clients and that the firm is well-established. New entrants' threat is low under these circumstances.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Method b

Present worth can be calculated using a financial calculator

For method A ,

Cash flow in year 0 = $80,000

Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $30,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $30,000 - $15,000 = $15,000

I = 12%

Present worth = $141,378.23

For method B,

Cash flow in year 0 = $120,000

Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $8, 000

Cash flow in year 3 = $8,000 - $40,000 = $-32,000

I = 12%

Present worth = $110,743.44

Method b would is chosen because it worth less.

To find the present worth using a financial calacutor:

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.

Exercise 11-1 Compute the Return on Investment (ROI) [LO11-1] Alyeska Services Company, a division of a major oil company, provi

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

1. Margin = 0.32 or 32%

2. Turnover = $19,000,000 or Operating Asset Turnover = 0.52 or 52%

3. Return on Investment = 0.17 or 17%

Explanation:

Firstly, list out the parameters we were given:

Sales = $19,000,000, Net Operating Income = $6,100,000,

Average Operating Assets = $36,500,000

1. Operating Margin = Net Operating Income / Sales

Operating Margin = 6,100,000 ÷ 19,000,000 = 0.32

Operating Margin = 0.32 (to 2 decimal places)

Operating Margin = 32%

2. Turnover refers to sales or revenue made during a particular period. In which case turnover is $19,000,000

However, if the turnover referred to is the Operating Asset Turnover, that is calculated below:

Operating Asset Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets

Operating Asset Turnover = 19,000,000 ÷ 36,500,000

Operating Asset Turnover = 0.52 (to 2 decimal places)

Operating Asset Turnover = 52%

3. Return on Investment (ROI) = Net Operating Income / Average Operating Assets

Return on Investment (ROI) = 6,100,000 ÷ 36,500,000

Return on Investment (ROI) = 0.17 (to 2 decimal places)

Return on Investment (ROI) = 17%

Lin Corporation has a single product whose selling price is $120 and whose variable expense is $80 per unit. The company's month

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate target profit is as follows,

Target sales = Fixed costs + Target profit / contribution per unit.

Contribution = 120 - 80 = $40

For 10,000 in profits,

Target units = (50000+10000)/40

Target units = 1500 units

For 15000 in profits,

Target units = (50000+15000)/40

Target units = 1625 units

Hope that helps.

SpeakEasy, a U.S. software company that specializes in voice-recognition software, wishes to rapidly enter the growing technical

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

<h2>In this case, the answer would be acquiring or merging with other firms producing related products or services.</h2>

Explanation:

As mentioned in the question, the market for technical translation software is basically dominated by firms producing differentiated or specialized products and services.
Now, considering that SpeakEasy is a completely new entrant in the market, it will be extremely difficult for the company to initially compete with the established market leaders or firms dominating the market.
Hence, SpeakEasy can perhaps consider acquiring or merging with some of the firms producing or specializing in voice-recognition software that will eventually ease the burden of market competition or rivalry for the company and consequently,it can commercially and economically grow and prosper in the market by capturing new customers and expanding market share.
Mergers or acquisitions, in this case, would help the company to effectively focus on its specialized activities and conducts through knowledge sharing, economies of scale or lower average production cost,transfer or transmission of technological knowledge and exploration of new customer or client bases.
