1) They are young and not so smart o( just a saying), 2) They think they will be rich forever and forever be on top of the world, 3) Ignorance or following the wrong financial advice, 4) Instead of them wisely taking care of their finances, they put it in other people's hands, who of course abuse it as well or take advantage. :)

Answer:

The Business profit = $30,000

Economic profit = Loss of $10,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost of land purchased = $100,000

Salary = $30,000

Revenue generated = $30,000

Discount rate = 10%

Now,

The Business profit = Net revenue generated

i.e

The Business profit = $30,000

Economic profit

= Business profit - Interest received on land - Implicit cost (i.e the salary)

Economic profit = $30,000 - 10% of $100,000 - $30,000

= - $10,000

here, the negative sign of the value of economic profit depicts the loss i.e there is loss of $10,000

<span>You are given Nigel's current balance of $668.47 in an account he has held for 15 years. Also you are given an initial deposit of $497. You are asked to find the simple interest rate on the account. You will use the simple interest formula, F = P(1 + rn) were F is the current balance, P is the principal amount deposited, r is the rate and n is the number of years.

</span>F = P(1 + rn)
668.47 = 497(1 + r(15))
r = 0.023 or 2.3%

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Here , we are going to apply the present value of annuty formula.

a. Social Opportunity cost = $1.1 Million

The Yearly cash flows = $110,000

Time (n) = 20 years

The Discount rate (R) = 4%

Net benefits= Present value of cash inflows - the intial socail opportnity cost

Net benefits= Yearly cash flow × (1 - 1/(1+R)^n) / R - 1100000

Net benefits = 110000 × (1 - 1/1.04^20)/0.04 - (1100000)

= $394936

b. We will use the formula for present value of an annuity with the growth rate in benefits as 2 percent.

Firstly, dg= (0.04 - 0.02)/ (1+0.02)

= 0.01961

PV(benefits) = [($110,000)÷ (1+0.02)][1-(1+dg)-20]/dg]

= $1,770,045

NPV = $1,770,045 - $1,100,000= $670,045

Differentiation strategy” require products to possess significant points of difference in brand image, product offerings, higher quality, advanced technology, and superior service to command a higher price while also targeting a wide array of market segments. For this question, these factors are not explaineded as targeting a broad market segments.

Differentiation focus strategy requires the products to have significant points of difference that is vital to target one or only a few market segments. For this question, Volkswagen uses a specific and unique factor to appeal to a specific group of people. So differentiation focus is the answer.
