Define the mergers and acquisitions of Tesla and define what has the company gained?

1 answer:

5 0

Tesla has made 6 acquisitions and 2 investments. The company has spent over $ 2.82B for the acquisitions. Tesla has invested in multiple sectors such as Energy Storage Tech, Autonomous Vehicles and more.

It confirms that Hibar and Deepscale were relatively small acquisitions for Tesla.

Deepscale appears to be mostly what some people call “acqui-hire,” and the people who join Tesla probably got a bunch of shares.

As for Maxwell, which was a $207 million acquisition, and Hibar, which had to be less than $96 million, I think those two acquisitions combined is a somewhat inexpensive way to supercharge their now obvious move into manufacturing their own battery cells.

Again, we expect to hear more about Tesla’s effort to invest heavily into its own battery cell production in the next few months.

Tesla has acquired 6 companies, including 3 in the last 5 years. A total of 2 acquisitions came from private equity firms.

Tesla’s largest acquisition to date was in 2016, when it acquired SolarCity for $2.6B. Tesla has acquired in 3 different US states, and 2 countries. The Company’s most targeted sectors include machinery (34%) and automotive (17%).

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Simone will be considered unemployed.

Explanation:

Simone is 26 years old, this means that she is in the adult population. She used to work as a copy editor for a newspaper. She has lost her job and is actively looking for work. She will be considered an unemployed person and will be included in the labor force.

Those workers who do not have a job currently but are actively looking for one are considered unemployed. Those who are without jobs but are not actively looking for one are considered discouraged workers and are not included in the labor force. The labor force includes only employed and unemployed workers.

Life insurance companies tend to invest in long-term assets such as loans to manufacturing firms to build factories or to real e

andriy [413]

Answer:

The answers are:

automobile insurers
life insurance companies
a life insurance policy
longer
longer-term

Explanation:

When a company may need money in a short notice (like auto insurers), they will need to make liquid investments. That means that they can turn their investments into cash very rapidly. Since T-bills are traded all the time, they are very liquid investments, although they aren't very lucrative investments.

On the other hand, companies that know that they will not be needing a lot money promptly (life insurance), can afford to invest in projects with a longer life span that can be more profitable also. Usually liquid investments have smaller rates of return, while long term investments have higher rates of return.

Klassen Toy Company, Inc., assembles two parts: Part 1 is first processed at workstation A for 15 minutes per unit and then proc

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

a) Process A is the bottleneck of the process

b) Hourly capacity = 60 / bottlenecktime = 60/25 = 2.4 units / hour

Explanation:

Part 1 is processed at A for 15 minutes and then at B for 10 minutes.

Thus part 1 take 15 + 10 i.e. 25 minutes two complete both processes

Part 2 is processed at C for 20 minutes.

Output from B and C i.e. part 1 and 2 respectively are fed to process D where the time taken to assemble is 15 minutes

Thus looking at the given data,

Part 1 takes longer time i.e. 25 minutes to reach process C compared to part 2 i.e. 20 minutes

So bottleneck occurs at process A and B because it takes maximum time i.e. 25 minutes

a) Process A is the bottleneck of the process

b) Hourly capacity = 60 / bottlenecktime = 60/25 = 2.4 units / hour

Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that hi

tangare [24]

Answer:

The correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete because some important figures and points are missing in it. These figures and points are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:

Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that his marginal benefit from an additional soft drink is $100 and his marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza is $110. If the price of a soft drink is $2 and the price of a slice of pizza is $3, is Charley maximizing his total benefits?

A. No, he should increase his consumption of both goods.

B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.

C. Yes, there is no other consumption choice that will make his total benefits greater.

D. No, he should shift consumption toward pizza and away from soft drinks to maximize total benefits.'

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Under utility maximization theory, the condition for the utility or benefit maximization for two goods is as follows:

MBs / Ps = MBp / Pp ……………………………. (1)

Where:

MBs = Marginal benefit from an additional soft drink = $100

MBp = Marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza =$110

Ps = Price of a soft drink = $2

Pp = Price of a slice of pizza = $3

Subtitling the relevant values, we have:

MBs / Ps = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft drinks = $100 / $2 = 50

MBp / Pp = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft pizza = $110 / $3 = 36.67

This implies that 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67

The decision rule is that the limited money income should be spent by a consumer on the good which gives the higher marginal utility per dollar in order to maximize marginal benefit.

Since 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67 above, this implies that Charley is NOT maximizing his total benefits. To maximize his total benefits, Charley should consume more of soft drinks and less of pizza until the condition is consistent with equation (1).

Therefore, the correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.
