The Ford Edsel Failure The Ford Edsel was a $400 million investment from the Ford Motor Company in the 1950’s intended to be an “entirely new and original kind of car” that could compete with General Motors (AskMen.com). This was a great intention from the company and their development was on the right track‚ but they made some crucial mistakes that made the Ford Edsel “one of the worst cars of all time” (content.time.com). According to the article‚ Top 10: Failed Product Launches‚ the Ford Edsel

Generally‚ the term cost of production refers to the ‘money expenses’ incurred in the production of a commodity. But money expenses are not the only expenses incurred on the production of a commodity. There are number of services and inputs such as entrepreneurship‚ land‚ capital etc.‚ which are offered by an entrepreneur without changing any price or receiving any payment for them. While computing the total cost of production‚ allowance should be made for such expenses. It is therefore essential

THE THIRD-VARIABLE PROBLEM Correlational data are frequently misinterpreted‚ especially when presented by newspaper reporters‚ talk-show hosts‚ or television newscasters. The Most common problem in interpreting correlations is Third-Variable Problem. A correlation simply indicates that there is a weak‚ moderate‚ or strong relationship (either positive or negative)‚ or no relationship‚ between two variables. When interpreting a correlation‚ it is also important to remember that although the correlation

Variable Geometry Turbocharger Turbochargers works on the simple principle of increasing the intake air density by compression. Being able to fill more air into the combustion chamber will allow more fuel to be added to produce more power. However the operation of the turbocharger relies solely on the exhaust gas velocity to drive the compressor. Thus the compressor will be at optimum operation range when the engine is under heavy load. When the throttle is opened‚ it will take a certain period
