Until 1992, the Walt Disney Company had experienced nothing but success in the theme park business. Its first park, Disneyland,

opened in Anaheim, California, in 1955. Its theme song, It’s a Small World After All, promoted an idealized vision of America spiced with reassuring glimpses of exotic cultures all calculated to promote heartwarming feelings about living together as one happy family. There were dark tunnels and bumpy rides to scare the children a little but none of the terrors of the real world. The Disney characters that everyone knew from the cartoons and comic books were on hand to shepherd the guests and to direct them to the Mickey Mouse watches and Little Mermaid records. The Anaheim park was an

The Anaheim park was an <u>instant success</u>, which Walt Disney Company replicated in Florida and Tokyo but failed to export to Paris, France.

The failure of Disney Paris was the result of a misunderstanding of the cultural peculiarities of the French. Some Frenchmen described the introduction of Disney Paris as <em>"a cultural Chernobyl" and "a symbol of American cliches and consumer society."</em>

Despite the envisaged 30,000 jobs that Disney Paris was to create and the demographic centrality of Paris in Europe, the diversification in Europe flopped.

Thus, Disney's misadventure in Europe became a short-lived and disastrous dream for the Walt Disney Company because of cultural misunderstanding.

Suppose that Japan can produce 5 cars in 8 hours and 15 HD TVs in 10 hours. The US can produce 5 cars in 6 hours and 15 TVs in 5
ICE Princess25 [194]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>If there is 1 hour of production:  </u>

Cars produced by Japan = 5/8 = .625 cars  

HD TV produced by Japan = 15/10 = 1.5 HD TVs

Further,

Cars produced by US = 5/6 = .83 cars

HD TV produced by US = 15/5 = 3 HD TVs

So,

Opportunity cost of a car for Japan = 1.5/.625 = 2.4 units of HD TVs

Opportunity cost of car for US = 3/.83 = 3.61 units of HD TV

Since, Japan has lower opportunity cost of producing cars, so Japan has comparative advantage in producing cars.

Opportunity cost of a HD TV for Japan = .625/1.5 = .42 units of car

Opportunity cost of a HD TV for US = .83/3 = .28 units of car

Since US has lower opportunity cost of producing HD TVs, so US has comparative advantage in producing HD TVs.

Bianca took out a $2,600 unsubsidized Stafford loan. She will be attending school for four years, and she wishes to have the loa
Gwar [14]

Interest capitalization is defined as the unpaid interest when added to the principal amount of the loan. It increases the overall cost of the loan.

Bianca will have to pay $13.43 monthly to avoid interest capitalization.

Given that:

Principal value of loan = $2600

Maturity Time = 10 years = 120 months  

Interest rate = 6.2% = 0.062

Now, to find the amount of payment by using the formula:

\rm Payment&=\rm \dfrac{Rate\times Principal}{1-(1+rate)^{time}}\\\\\\\rm Payment&=\rm\dfrac{0.062 \times 2600}{1-(1+rate)^{120}}\\\\\rm Payment &= \rm \161.32

Total payment that is to be paid in 1 year:

\rm Monthly\; Payment &=\rm\dfrac{161.32}{12}&= \$13.43

Thus, the payment that Bianca has to pay is  $13.43.

A monopoly firm is the only seller of a good or service that A) does not need to be advertised. B) has no close complements C) d
Otrada [13]

Answer:

C) does not have a close substitute.

Explanation:

A monopoly is a market structure where there is only a single seller but many buyers. The seller therefore has more bargaining power over buyers and is therefore the price maker; a monopolist decides and sets the price of the product. Since there is only one seller, it means that the good does not have close substitutes. However, a multi-product monopolist could sell goods or services that are close complements.
