Answer: Infrastructure Challenge.
Explanation:
A major problem in developing countries is insufficient and often damaged infrastructure. There are lack of roads and other mean of access to quite some areas in the country and those routes that do have road networks sometimes see trade still hampered by damage to those road networks.
Sometimes there would be potholes that require careful maneuvering and sometimes the roads would be washed out. In this case Escents is experiencing Dela due to washed-out roads or faulty bridges which are examples of infrastructural damage.
Answer:
economic (or business) cycles are less severe.
Explanation:
If the wages follow the general price level, it means that they will follow the inflation rate. When the economy is strong and inflation might rise, then the wages should increase accordingly. When the economy is starting to enter a recession then the inflation rate will reduce, so wages will not increase as much (if any increase at all).
This type of economic policy favors expansion cycles since private consumption is the main component of the GDP and also helps when the economy enters a recession because the wages will follow inflation rate which will help make the recession less severe and hopefully shorter.
One basic concept for this to work is that inflation is always a positive number, countries rarely (if ever) go through deflation processes.
Answer:
A farmer is the one that owns the cattle and is ready to sell it on the market demand, while the meatpacker is the one who buys the product and sells it in different parts to the end consumers.
Since they both are using the commodity market to reduce the risk, the farmer will be the one who agrees to sell the cattle in the future at a fixed rate, while the meatpacker will be the one who agrees to buy the cattle in the future at a specified price fixed by him.
Hope this helps. ThankYou.
Answer:
Cooperation and trust
Explanation:
There are clear distinctions between groups and teams. A group is a set of people brought together by common interests and inevitable circumstances, while a team is a group of people working together to reach a common goal.
The responsibility in a team is evenly dispersed; although the work is not done individually, the team is acting as an individual. That means that <em>trust </em>has to be present among team members; we have to know we won't be let down by a team member, like we don't let down ourselves.
<em>Trust</em> is one of the most essential inputs for effective <em>cooperation</em>.
A team possessing such characteristics is highly <em>cohesive</em>.
Answer:
8.1%
Explanation:
Firstly, let look at the formula for calculating weighted average cost of capital (WACC):
WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (E/A) x r_E + (PE/A) x r_PE, where:
A: Market value of company asset;
D: Market value of company debt;
E: Market value of company equity;
PE: Market value of company preferred equity;
r_D: cost of debt;
r_E: cost of equity/retained earnings;
r_PE: cost of preferred equity;
t: tax rate
Putting all the numbers together, we have:
WACC = 35% x 6.5% x (1-25%) + 55% x 10.5% + 10% x 6% = 8.1%
