Answer: In an effort to <u>differentiate</u> its offerings from its competitors, Pegasus added <u>additional features that increased the price</u> of the laptops by $500.

This is an example of <em>Porter's competitive strategies </em>( <u>product differentiation </u>strategy).

Explanation:

The differentiation strategy consists in <em>offering a product similar</em> to one of another company in the market but that <em>has certain characteristics</em> that make the customer perceive it as unique and to be willing to pay a higher price for it.

Strategy <u>Variables</u>:

  • Product characteristics.
  • How the company communicates with its customers.
  • Market features.

It can happen when the <u>price increases</u>, that the difference between this and and another <em>product ´s features is not too large</em>, so that we lose the loyalty of our customers because they don ´t want to pay the new price .

An aircraft company has an order to refurbish the interiors of 18 jet aircraft. The work has a learning curve percentage of 80.
gavmur [86]

Answer:

a. 125.43 hours

b. 767.92 hours

c. 2,129.04 hours

Explanation:

Using the mathematical approach, we have :

y = ax ^b

Where ,

y is the average time to manufacture x units

a is the time its takes to manufacture first plane

b is the log of 80% divided by log 2

Then,

Average time for 5 planes = 300 (5)^-0.322

                                            = 178.67 hours

Total time for 5 planes = 178.67 hours × 5

                                      = 893.35

Average time for 4 planes = 300 (4)^-0.322

                                            = 191.98 hours

Total time for 5 planes = 191.98 hours × 4

                                      = 767.92 hours

The fifth plane would take =  893.35 - 767.92

                                            =  125.43 hours

Average time for the 18 planes = 300(18)^-0.322

                                                    = 118,28 hours

Total time for 18 planes = 118,28 hours × 18

                                       = 2,129.04 hours
