Answer:
Gillette in India
The failure of the Vector was caused by the fact that Indian men have longer and thicker hair, which the lack of earlier research in the targeted demographic segment did not discover.
Explanation:
Since Indian men have longer and thicker hair than the local consumers of Gillette's razor products in America, an earlier research would have uncovered the fact. Thereafter, the discovery would have been incorporated into the design and production of Vector for the Indian market. No wonder, with its Mach 3 Turbo razor, Gillette overcame its initial inertia and handicap and made a success of the razor business in India.

Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Martha receives $200 on the first of each month. Stewart receives $200 on the last day of each month. Both Martha and Stewart will receive payments for 30 years. The discount rate is 9 percent, compounded monthly.
To calculate the present value, first, we need to determine the final value.
i= 0.09/12= 0.0075
n= 30*12= 360
<u>Martha:</u>
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}
A= montlhy payment
FV= {200*[(1.0075^360)-1]}/0.0075 + {[200*(1.0075^360)]-200}
FV= 366,148.70 + 2,746.12
FV= 368,894.82
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/ (1+i)^n
PV= 368,894.82/ 1.0075^360
PV= $25,042.80
<u>Stewart:</u>
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly payment
FV= {200*[(1.0075^360)-1]}/0.0075
FV= 366,148.70
PV= 366,148.70/1.0075^360
PV= $24,856.37
Martha has a higher present value because the interest gest compounded for one more time.
