Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": delay until further clarity emerges.

Explanation:

American Professor Alfred A. Marcus (born in 1950) in his book "<em>The Future of Technology Management and the Business</em>" (2015) explains hedging could be a strategy to protect companies in front of the rapidly changing environment they face because of the constant introduction to technology in the market. According to Marcus, there are five (5) hedging strategies firms could implement:

  1. Gamble on the most probable: <em>work on the product with the highest success rate. </em>
  2. Take the robust route: <em>invest in as many products as possible. </em>
  3. Delay until further clarity emerges: <em>waiting for a proper moment to react in front of market changes. </em>
  4. Commit with a fallback: <em>adapt according to the market. </em>
  5. Try to shape the future: <em>innovate.</em>

Nadya [2.5K]
<span>To find earnings per share, simply divide the company's net income by the number of shares that are outstanding. In this case, the values are $280,000/80,000. This gives a value of $3.50 for the earnings per share outstanding. Dividends, in this case, are not necessary for the calculation.</span>

Despite having sufficient snow, a local ski mountain has decided to close in early march for the end of the ski season. what is
RSB [31]
<span>Most Ski resorts will try to extend the ski season as long as possible. This is because they are only going to earn money if they are open for business. In this case, the ski mountain is closing early in March instead of waiting until a more traditional time of year, probably late spring. While there may be a few reasons why the ski mountain might chose to close early even though there is sufficient snow this year, it is likely that this is a financial decision. If the ski mountain is not able to turn a profit, that is the most likely reason they will shut down early. If it is costing more to the keep the resort open then they can earn by staying open a few more weeks, then it would make sence to just shut down early.</span>
