Explanation of Solution

Five Forces:

  • Bargaining power of customers
  • Threat of substitutions
  • Bargaining power of suppliers
  • Threat of new entrants
  • Rivalry

Bargaining power of customers:

It is described as market of output. The customer can buy the products from many suppliers, so the buyer has alternative option.

The factors, which affect the bargaining power of customers, are:

  • Switching cost of the buyer
  • Availability of buyer information
  • Availability of substitute product existing in the market.

Threat of substitutions:

The first force is threat of substitution. It affects the customers to found different way of what you do. It uses different technology to achieve the same economic need.

The factors, which affect the threat of substitution, are:

  • Switching cost of the buyer
  • Substitute product existing in the market
  • Price performance of substitute.

Bargaining power of suppliers:

It is described as market of input. The person who makes the product will sell on the flour. There is no option to buy from others.

The factors, which affect the bargaining power of suppliers, are:

  • Specifying the strength of distribution channel
  • Effect of cost and differentiation on inputs
  • Switching cost of the supplier, this is relative to the switching cost of the firm.

Threat of new entrants:

The people may affected by the entry to your market. If the new competitor enters into your market with more wealth, then they will quickly weaken your position. Suppose we have strong barrier then we preserve a strong position...

Scenario You work for a small company that exports artisan chocolate. Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement. You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds. The conversions are as follows: 1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided. You have not yet covered functions in the course, but they are a way of reusing code. Like a Python script, a function can have zero or more parameters. In the code window you…
