b) IKEA is also very "IKEA-centric." For example, the IKEA store itself will be laid out as a maze that requires customers to wa

lk through every department before they reach the checkout stations. This forced path can seem constraining to their customers who naturally are more free spirited than the IKEA management model. Can this spell trouble in the near future, or is the IKEA way a sustainable business model? Why?

Answer:

Explanation:

As long as IKEA is able to deliver value and differentiation via quality, cost, and new designs, then the IKEA way of putting people through the different departments before making checkouts, will not spell trouble.

Furthermore, the movement of people through the different departments will give consumers, exposure to other new products available and it will make them aware of the quality present in other goods. As a result, the consumer and the company will benefit from increased sales.

Here, IKEA has to assure that quality is to be maintained and movement through the different departments should not be high traffic and it will be convenient for people to easily move through to remain interested in visiting the IKEA stores on a regular basis.  

Thus, it will be the right step to build a sustainable business model by IKEA.

Some poople argue that the only beneficiary of the entrepreneurial wealth is the entreprenceur him/herselt Do you agree? Why or
Ugo [173]

I do not agree that “the only beneficiary of the entrepreneurial wealth is the entrepreneur him/herself.”

The entrepreneur may be the chief beneficiary when she is alive to reap the rewards of their entrepreneurial efforts. But, she is certainly not the only beneficiary of the entrepreneurial wealth that she creates. Nobody works in isolation. When the entrepreneur commences her business, society as a whole benefits because any individual wealth created increases the wealth of the nation and the world. She only gets the profit share of the created wealth. Customers who patronize her services and goods also derive satisfaction of needs (utility or value). The entrepreneur's wealth is also shared to the government in form of taxes. Suppliers of primary goods and services also share in the wealth of the entrepreneur. And employees of the entrepreneur also take a large share of the created wealth.

But, who is an entrepreneur? She is somebody who assumes some entrepreneurial (first-time) risks in order to set up a business for the manufacture or provision of goods and services for the purpose of profit. Her business may not be profitable in the short-run. She can even lose tons of money initially until the profit stage sets in. As she preserves, the profits will start rolling in, provided she had done her homework well.

The bond has a coupon rate of 6.83 percent, it makes semiannual payments, and there are 4 months to the next coupon payment. A c
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The invoice price for the bond is $1,060.38

Explanation:

Given the following:

PV= Par value = $1,000 ,

CV= Clean Price = $1,049

Coupon Rate per annum = 6.83%

To calculate the Semiannual Coupon Rate= Coupon Rate per annum/2= 3.415%

To calculate Semiannual Coupon= Semiannual Coupon Rate*PV

= 3.415% * $1,000  = $34.15

With an interest accured over 2 months, we calculate it thus:

Accrued Interest = $34.15 * 2/6 = $11.38

To calculate Invoice price:

Invoice Price = CP + Accrued Interest

Invoice Price = $1,049.00 + $11.38

Invoice Price = $1,060.38

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

A) One important difference between using cigarettes and using dollars as money is that cigarettes have intrinsic value.

B) U.S. dollars are an example of fiat money.

Explanation:

Prisioners had two uses for cigarettes: they could use them as a medium of exchange, thus acted as money, and they could use cigarettes to smoke. Therefore the intrinsic value of cigarettes would be the tobbacco which is used to smoke, as opposed to U.S. dollars where its intrinsic value is just the paper or metal if it were a coin.

U.S. dollars are an example of fiat money because it's a currency that has been established as legal tender by the U.S. Government, but it has no intrinsic value of its own.
