Objectives are like goals that you want to accomplish, strategies are the methods to get there
I would say that the question "How can markets be kept competitive" would not be important for a communist or socialist society as production would not be to meet a world capitalist market price but would be for fulfilling the basic necessities of the people like healthcare and education and food and clothing as well as for mutually beneficial trade with other countries on an equitable basis.
The applicable formula is;
A = P(1-r)^n
Where;
A = Final purchasing power
P = Current purchasing power
r = inflation
n = Number of years when P changes to A
Confirming the first claim:
A = 1/2P (to be confirmed)
P = $3
r = 7% = 0.07
n = 10.25 years
Using the formula;
A = 3(1-0.07)^10.25 = 3(0.475) ≈ 3(0.5) = $1.5
And therefore, A = 1/2P after 10.25 years.
Now, give;
P = $9
A = 1/4P = $9/4 = $2.25
r = 6.5% = 0.065
n = ? (nearest year).
Substituting;
2.25 = 9(1-0.065)^n
2.25/9 = (1-0.065)^n
0.25 = (1-0.065)^n
ln (0.25)= n ln(1-0.065)
-1.3863 = -0.0672n
n = (-1.3863)/(-0.0672) = 20.63 years
To nearest year;
n = 21 years
Therefore, it would take approximately 21 years fro purchasing power to reduce by 4. That is, from $9 to $2.25.
Answer: Differentiating
Explanation:
Sprout company as described in the question are making use of product differentiation to ensure parents and children consumption needs are met. Product differentiation in marketing occurs when a company distinguishes their products to meet the needs of the different types of consumer groups available in their target market.
