i am not sure how to answer this question regarding blackberry company and technology if any one can answer it it would be a great help
C/ Some questions to consider (please do not include these actual questions in your work)...
• What proprietary innovations have they implemented or designed?
• Are these changing the market or industry as a whole?
• Who is the leader in progressive technology in their sector?
• Does their technology provide a competitive advantage over closest rivals? If so, how?
• Do suppliers and customers need to comply or bring new tech online in order to do business with the organization?
D/ Analysis –
Has the technology made a difference to their business? Anything missing from the picture? Do you think their technology was a wise investment? Why? How has the technology created a need for another piece of tech / any shortcomings? If you were suddenly CEO, what do you see as the next steps for this organization?

Suppose a closed economy has an aggregate consumption function given by C = 200 + 0.50Yd and generates $2400 output and income in equilibrium. Suppose also that the government collects a lump-sum tax of 100.
How much will the private sector be saving total in equilibrium?

Consider the function ?(?,?)=3?^2−4?+??^2 on the closed region ?={(?,?):−1≤?≤1 and −1≤?≤1}R={(x,y):−1≤x≤1 and −1≤y≤1}.
(a) Find all critical points of ?(?,?)f(x,y) in the region ?R, if any, and classify them (local maximum, local minimum, or saddle point).
(b) Determine the absolute maximum and absolute minimum of ?(?,?)f(x,y) on the closed region ?R, and all points at which they occur.

The figure shows a 11.8 V battery and four uncharged capacitors of capacitances C1 = 1.16 μF,C2 = 2.31 μF,C3 = 3.26 μF, and C4 = 4.19 μF. If only switch S1 is closed, what is the charge on (a) capacitor 1, (b) capacitor 2, (c) capacitor 3, and (d) capacitor 4? If both switches are closed, what is the charge on (e) capacitor 1, (f) capacitor 2, (g) capacitor 3, and (h) capacitor 4?

Suppose that k is a field which is not algebraically closed. a. Show that if I ⊂ k[x1, . . . , xn ] is maximal, then V(I) is either empty or a point in kn . Hint: Examine the proof of Theorem 11. b. Show that there exists a maximal ideal I in k[x1, . . . , xn ] for which V(I) = ∅. Hint: See the previous exercise. c. Conclude that if k is not algebraically closed, there is always a maximal ideal of k[x1, . . . , xn ] which is not of the form <x1 − a1, . . . , xn − an >

Liam and Marta live in London. Both are teachers, with Liam in full time and Martart-time paid employment. When they bought a flat together in June 2018 the mortgage broker talked them through repayment and interest-only mortgages. They decided to use their savings as a deposit and chose a repayment mortgage, which by June 2020 was standing at £100,000. The market value of their flat had increased by 10% over this time period on the original purchasing price of £110,000.
Together, in June 2020 the couple earn a net monthly income of £4000 and their expenditure has averaged £4200 a month over the last two years. In June 2020 their car loan is down from £4,000 to £2,500, their current account balance has dropped to zero and they have an overdraft on their current account of £1500. Meanwhile their savings account holds just £300. They also owe £3000 on a credit card. The rest of their balance sheet has not changed since June 2018.
They are reviewing their finances as they are considering improving their home by installing a new kitchen.
Table 1 shows their balance sheet and financial ratios in June 2018.
