Steve collects old synthesizers. One he bought a few years back for $3000 he's decided to sell.
Over the time he owned it, Steve did $250 in repairs and renovations.
In preparing to sell the synthesizer, he's told by a source he considers 100% reliable that he could
sell it for $3250 as it currently is. If, however, he is willing to pay $400 for some additional
cosmetic repairs, he's told he could definitely get $3800 instead.
In this case, the marginal benefit of doing the repairs before selling is $

Although there are patents out protecting the design of this new computer it is still possible for others to see the design and create something similar based off of it. Although licensing the brand would greatly benefit the cost of production and relieve most of the cost from transportation it would be wise to not give another company the opportunity to see the design. Creating the company in the home-country and exporting would help keep the design to ourselves and is therefore safe. However, doing this will increase the cost of transportation significantly. A third option that the company has is to wholly own a subsidiary. This will allow the company to control all matters regarding the production strategy as well as the marketing aspect. Setting up a wholly owned subsidiary is expensive and a major risk as it requires the parent company to commit 100% of the equity contributed.…arrow_forwardHow have gas prices affected people's thoughts about purchasing an E.V. car? cite your responsesarrow_forward
