Answer:
anchoring and adjustment heuristic
Explanation:
Anchoring and adjustment heuristic is defined as the psychological way in which people asses probabilities. It states that people have a reference or anchor and the make adjustments to it in otlrder to reach an estimate.
The anchor is the price that the customer paid 10 years ago. That is $18,000. However the sticker price is $26,000.
The consumer feels this is too far away from his anchor from 10 years ago.
Answer:
anchoring and adjustment heuristic
Explanation:
A large portion of our important and significant consumer decisions (mostly shopping products) are influenced by anchoring and adjustment heuristics. When we are looking for some expensive good which we generally do not purchase very often, we always anchor our perception of the good to any prior experience with it and then adjust our prior experience to our current environment.
In this case, the customer's reference price was the price he paid for a "similar" car 10 years ago and refuses to pay a higher price for a current model regardless that cars have changed a lot during the last 10 years. He didn't adjust his past reference (anchor) to how much cars have changed and how much value the currency has lost.

Leigh Delight Candy, Inc. is choosing between two bonds in which to invest their cash. One is being offered from Hershey's and will mature in 10 years and pay $30 each quarter. The other alternative is a Mars' bond that will mature in 20 years and pay $30 each quarter. What would be the present value of each bond if the discount rate is 10% compounded quarterly, and each bond pays $1,000 at maturity?
Answer:
Hersey's bond = $1125.513
Mars bond = $1172.259
Explanation:
Hersey bond;
Period(t) = 10years = 40(quartely)
Coupon (C) = $30
Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)
Pay at maturity(p) = $1000
Using the both present value (PV) and compound interest formula ;
PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]
PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-40)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^40]
PV =( 753.083251562) + (372.4306236)
PV = $1125.513
Mars bond;
Period(t) = 20years = 80(quartely)
Coupon (C) = $30
Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)
Pay at maturity(p) = $1000
PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]
PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-80)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^80]
PV =(1033.55451663) + (138.704569467)
PV = $1172.259
The present value of Hersey's bond = $1125.513.
And, the present value of the Mars bond = $1172.259.
Calculation of the present value:For Hersey bond;
Period(t) = 10years = 40(quartely)
Coupon (C) = $30
Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)
Pay at maturity(p) = $1000
Now the following formula should be used
PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]
PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-40)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^40]
PV =( 753.083251562) + (372.4306236)
PV = $1125.513
For Mars bond;
Period(t) = 20years = 80(quartely)
Coupon (C) = $30
Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)
Pay at maturity(p) = $1000
Now
PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]
PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-80)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^80]
PV =(1033.55451663) + (138.704569467)
PV = $1172.259

Mrs. Renfro's chipotle corn salsa is so popular that the company cannot make enough to keep its resellers stocked. Its price of $4.50 for a jar seems just right to consumers who savor its hot and spicy taste. The popularity of hot and spicy food is an example of a __________ that Mrs. Renfro's has taken advantage of to make its product a success.
Answer:
Demand factor
Explanation:
Demand factor refers to a condition that determines the ability of a consumer and which influences his or her willingness to purchase a product.
The popularity of hot and spicy food is an example of a demand factor that Mrs. Renfro's has taken advantage of to make its product a success.
The demand for Mrs. Renfro's inc. Chipotle corn salsa is high that it couldn't meet the demand. Mrs. Renfro has taken advantage of the Popularity of the product because of how and spicy taste which makes consumers prefer it to other products.
The preference of the product to other products has made the demand for it increase over time.
Demand of a commodity can be defined as the total quantity of the commodity acquired by a consumer over time.
Demand factor is the ratio of the maximum quantity demanded during a period to the total supply of the product.
Mrs. Renfro's has utilized a market trend towards hot and spicy flavors to succeed in selling its chipotle corn salsa.
The popularity of hot and spicy food that Mrs. Renfro's has capitalized on is an example of a market trend. Market trends represent directional movements of consumer preferences that enable companies to focus their product development and marketing strategies to meet evolving consumer demands.
By recognizing the trend towards hot and spicy flavors, Mrs. Renfro's has positioned its chipotle corn salsa to appeal to this growing segment, thereby increasing demand and sales.
Additionally, by offering different sizes of salsa, Mrs. Renfro's is practicing second-degree price discrimination, which caters to distinct customer segments with varying demands as shown in the consumer demand curves for different jar sizes (A for smaller quantity preferred by Consumer 1, B for larger quantity preferred by Consumer 2).
Furthermore, understanding cross price elasticity helps determine the relationship between goods—such as chips and salsa—and whether they are substitutes or complements.
This knowledge is critical for businesses when setting pricing strategies and anticipating customer purchasing patterns in response to changes in the prices of related goods. Mrs. Renfro's might explore this when considering the price of their salsa relative to other snack items.

The firm, however, would like to avoid issuing costly new common stock. Which of the following steps would mitigate the firmâs need to raise new common stock? a. Increasing the companyâs dividend payout ratio for the upcoming year.b. Reducing the companyâs debt ratio for the upcoming year.c. Increasing the companyâs proposed capital budget.d. All of the statements above are correct. e.None of the statements above is correct.
Answer:
Option D. All of the statements above are correct.
Explanation:
The reason is that the capital budget is the budget of investment in the business and in the current situation their is shortage of fund. So to meet the demand we can not pay dividends because it reduces the available cash available for investment. So the option A is incorrect.
Option B is also incorrect because the reducing debt ration means paying off the liabilities which again decrease the amount of cash available to invest in the company. So the option B is incorrect.
Increasing the proposed capital budget will require greater amount of funds. As we are already in shortage of funds, increasing capital budget is not the right course of action. So the option C is also incorrect.
Option E is also incorrect none of the option was correct, hence the correct option is D.
Reducing the company's debt ratio for the upcoming year could be a way to mitigate the firm's need to raise new common stock. This would free up funds being used for debt repayments, reducing the need for further external financing, such as issuing new common stock.
Explanation:The firm's need to raise additional capital by issuing costly new common stock could be mitigated by following one or several strategies that include making internal adjustments and reducing the need for such external financing. However, from your options, reducing the companyâs debt ratio for the upcoming year (Option b) is the most appropriate.
Lowering the debt ratio could free up funds currently used for debt repayments, thereby reducing the need for external financing like issuing new common stock. Increasing the dividend payout or the capital budget (Options a and c) would require more financing, not less, and so these options are not viable. So Choice b is the correct answer.

F. The type of responsibility center affects financial planning models.
G. These models affect the behavior of managers who aim to achieve a high profit and increase revenues.
Answer: C. The type of responsibility center determines what the manager is accountable for and thereby affects the manager's behavior.
Explanation: The choice of a type of responsibility center( cost profit, revenue or investment ) affects the manager's behavior and what the manager will be responsible for.
Also the choice of the responsibility center type can guide the variables to be included when budgeting.
Final answer:
The type of responsibility center determines what managers are accountable for, which affects their behavior. Each center influences managerial focus—cost centers on expenses, revenue centers on sales, profit centers on both, and investment centers on asset returns and ROI. The correct answer is that responsibility centers impact manager accountability and behavior.
Explanation:
The type of responsibility center chosen within an organization greatly impacts managerial behavior because it determines what managers are accountable for. When a manager is in charge of a cost center, the focus is on controlling expenses and optimizing operational efficiency.
Conversely, if the manager oversees a revenue center, the emphasis shifts to generating sales and income. In the case of a profit center, the manager's attention is divided between both, managing costs and increasing revenues. Finally, being responsible for an investment center means that the manager must consider not only profits but also the return on investment of the assets under their control.
These different types of responsibility centers affect behavior because managers will prioritize actions that align with their performance metrics. For instance, a manager of a cost center might implement strict budget controls, while an investment center manager might analyze whether to divest from non-performing assets. Recognizing those patterns is essential to understanding how different types of responsibility centers incentivize managerial decision-making and strategic focus.
In conclusion, the correct explanation regarding how the choice of responsibility center affects behavior is: C. The type of responsibility center determines what the manager is accountable for and thereby affects the manager's behavior.
New-Tech Corporation borrowed $20,000 from the bank on March 1, 2011. The note carried a 9% annual interest rate and a 1-year term to maturity. The company paid the principal and the interest in cash on the maturity date. What amount of interest expense will New-Tech Corporation show on its 2011 and 2012 income statements? 2011 2012 a $ -O- $1,800 b. $1,800 $ -O- $1,500 $ 300 d. $1,350 $ 450
Answer:
The correct answer is:
$ -O- $1,800 (a)
Explanation:
Principal = Amount borrowed = $20,000
interest rate = 9% = 0.09
Time = 1 year
Simple Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
Simple Interest = 20,000 × 0.09 × 1 = $1,800.
Next, we are asked to show how interest expense will appear in 2011 and 2012 income statements respectively. First note that the 2011 interest expense will be recorded as $0 because that was the year in which the money was borrowed, and it was not paid back until 2012. In 2012, the interest and principal was paid back, and from the calculation, the interest paid was $1,800.
SummerSnowman Industries' last dividend was $1.25. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 15.0% for 3 years, after which dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 6% forever. If the firm's required return (rs) is 11%, what is its current stock price? Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
$33.50
Explanation:
we can use the perpetual growth model to determine the price of the stock
the firm's stock price = ($1.25 x 1.15)/1.11 + ($1.25 x 1.15²)/1.11² + ($1.25 x 1.15³)/1.11³ + [($1.25 x 1.15³ x 1.06)/(11% - 6%)]/1.11³
the stock price in 3 years = ($1.25 x 1.15³ x 1.06)/(11% - 6%) = $40.30
the firm's stock price = ($1.25 x 1.15)/1.11 + ($1.25 x 1.15²)/1.11² + ($1.25 x 1.15³)/1.11³ + $40.30/1.11³ = $1.30 + $1.34 + $1.39 + $29.47 = $33.50

Ben and Leah are planning their 30-year wedding anniversary and are considering taking a 4-day trip to Alaska. How much will their vacation cost if they have been able to come up with the following estimates?Flights are $400 per person, food will cost about $8 per meal per person (4 days of meals), a rental car will cost $45 per day, hotel costs are $190 per night (they stay 4 nights), airport parking is $25 per day, and an extra $90 for gas and another $500 for tours and souvenirs is expected.A) $1,258 B) $1,991 C) $2,451 D) $2,622
Answer:
D) $2,622
Explanation:
Daily costs
= ($8/meal x 3 meals/day x 2 people) + $45 + $190 + $25) = $308 daily costs
Total costs
= ($400 x 2) + 90 + 500 + (308 x 4 days)
Hence:
Total costs = 800 + 90 + 500 + 1,232
= $2,622
Answer:
Option D. 2,622
Explanation:
We have the following costs:
Flights = $400 per person
Food = $8 per meal per person
Car rental = $45 per day
Hotel costs = $190 per night
Airport parking = $25 per day
Gas = $90
Tours and souvenirs = $500
We calculate as follows:
Daily costs = (($8/meal x 3 meals/day x 2 people) + $45 + $190 + $25) = $308 daily costs
Total costs = ($400 x 2) + 90 + 500 + (308 x 4 days)
Total costs = 800 + 90 + 500 + 1,232 = $2,622.
Gudenas Company makes a credit card sale to a customer for $500. The credit card sale has a grace period of 30 days and then an interest charge of 18% per year or 1.5% per month is added to the balance. If the unpaid balance on the above sale is $300 at the end of the grace period, the interest charge is:
A. $5.00.
B. $4.50.
C. $7.50.
D. $3.00.
Answer:
Interest charge after grace period = $4.50
Explanation:
Given:
Total credit sales = $500
Grace period = 30 days
Interest charge = 1.5 % after grace period per month
Total unpaid balance after grace period = $300
Computation of interest charge after grace period:
[tex]Interest\ charge\ after\ grace\ period=unpaid\ balance\ after\ grace\ period \times Interest\ rate[/tex]
Interest charge after grace period = $300 × 1.5%
Interest charge after grace period = $4.50
As joint depositors, you and your spouse have two savings accounts (one with a balance of $250,000, and one with a balance of $350,000) deposited in the federally insured SFL Bank. This bank has failed and has nothing left because it paid interest rates that were too high. Altogether, how much money will you and your spouse receive from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)?
Answer:
$500,000
Explanation:
The Federal insurance corporation pays a sum of $250,000 to depositor in an insured bank for every category of qualified account owners. Deposits in different banks (but not branches ) are treated different by FDIC for the purpose of insurance.
In a joint deposit account , the federal deposit insurance corporation pays each of the spouse a sum of $250,000 each over the aggregate deposit in the account. All separate accounts owned by the person in a the same banks are merged together.
The couple will receive a total of $500,000 from the FDIC, which is the maximum insured amount for their two joint accounts at the failed bank.
When a commercial bank fails, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) steps in to protect depositors up to $250,000 per insured bank, for each account ownership category. In the scenario where a couple has two savings accounts with balances of $250,000 and $350,000 at the same bank, FDIC will reimburse $250,000 for the first account in full and $250,000 for the second account.
This is because each depositor is insured up to $250,000 per account ownership category, and joint accounts are considered a single ownership category.
Therefore, the total reimbursement the couple will receive from the FDIC will be $500,000, which is the maximum insured amount for the two accounts when combined under joint ownership.

Alatan owns a building supply store in Russ County. His trade extends throughout River City, the largest city in Russ County, but not beyond the county limits. He sells his store to Hilary and, as part of the transaction, Alatan agrees not to engage in the same type of business anywhere in River City for a period of four (4) years. In this case:
a) The geographic restraint is reasonable.
b) This agreement is unreasonable.
c) The agreement unduly interferes with the interest of the public.
d) Both (b) and (c).
Answer:
A) The geographic restraint is reasonable.
Explanation:
Generally non-compete agreements are done between employees and their employer and in order for them to be enforceable they must be reasonable and the employee must be compensated in some way (usually when the contract is signed a special compensation must be set, like a high salary or bonus, etc.).
In this case, the non-compete agreement is made between the seller and buyer of a business. The agreement includes a specific geographic restriction and lasts 4 years, so the agreement would be considered valid by a court. Generally if the non-compete agreement was between an employee and his/her employer and lasted that long it wouldn't be enforceable, but for a business a 4 year period is reasonable.
A manufacturer of handcrafted wine racks has determined that the cost to produce x units per month is given by upper c equals 0.2 x squared plus 10 comma 000.how fast is the cost per month changing when production is changing at the rate of 13units per month and the production level is 70units
Answer:
The cost per month is increasing at a rate $365.
Explanation:
Differentiation Formula
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(x^n)= nx^{n-1}[/tex] [tex]\frac{d}{dx}(a)=0[/tex] [ where a is a constant][tex]\frac{d}{dx}(ax^n)=a \frac{d}{dx}(x^n)= anx^{n-1}[/tex]Given that,
A manufacturer of handcrafted wine racks has determined that the cost to produce x units per month is given by
[tex]c=0.2x^2+10,000[/tex].
Again given that,
the rate of changing production is 13 unit per month
i.e [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}=13[/tex]
To find the cost per month, we need to find out the value [tex]\frac{dc}{dt}[/tex] when production is changing at the rate 13 units per month and the production is 70 units.
[tex]c=0.2x^2+10,000[/tex]
Differentiating with respect to t
[tex]\frac{d}{dt}(c)=\frac{d}{dt}(0.2x^2)+\frac{d}{dx}(10,000)[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.2\frac{d}{dt}(x^2)+\frac{d}{dx}(10,000)[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.2\times 2x^{2-1}\frac{dx}{dt}+0[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.4x\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]
Plugging [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}=13[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.4x\times 13[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=5.2x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dc}{dt}|_{x=70}=5.2\times 70[/tex] [ plugging x=70]
=364
[ The unit of c is not given. Assume that the unit of c is dollar.]
The cost per month is increasing at a rate $365.
To find the rate at which the cost per month is changing, differentiate the cost function and substitute the production level.
Explanation:To find how fast the cost per month is changing, we need to find the derivative of the cost function with respect to x. Given that the cost function is given by C = 0.2x^2 + 10,000, where x represents the number of units produced per month, we can differentiate the function to find the rate of change of the cost per month.
Using the power rule, the derivative of 0.2x^2 is 0.4x. Since x is changing at the rate of 13 units per month, we substitute this value into the derivative: 0.4(13). Evaluating this expression gives us the rate at which the cost per month is changing.
Finally, substituting the production level of 70 units per month into the derivative expression: 0.4(70), we can determine the rate at which the cost per month is changing when production is at 70 units per month.

On June 1, the board of directors of Big, Inc. declare a 20% stock dividend. On this date, there were 10,000 shares of $1 par value stock issued and outstanding and the market value was $5 per share. The entry to record this transaction would include a (debit/credit) to Retained Earnings in the amount of $ .
Answer:
The answer is Debit to Retained Earnings of $10,000.
Explanation:
Retained earnings simply put, is an accumulation of net income or loss over years minus dividend payouts (cash or stock).
The value of the stock in the company prior to the stock dividend payment was $1 x 10,000 units = $10,000
Meanwhile the market value increased to $5/share, the value now becomes $5 x 10,000 units = $50,000
20% stock dividend translates to 0.2 x $50,000 = $10,000
So, appropriate entries would be:
Debit Retained earnings $10,000
Credit Common stock $10,000
(To record stock dividend payment)
Terps Company received a promissory note from a customer on October 1, 2019. The principal amount of the note is $25,000; the terms are 8 months and a 6% annual interest. Assuming the accounting period ends on December 31, determine the interest revenue recorded by the company for the year ending on December 31, 2020
Answer:
The answer is $3,000
Explanation:
Principal is $25,000
Tenor is 8 months
Annual interest is 6%
So the interest rate for 8 months is 4%
Therefore the monthly interest income is 4% x $25,000
=$1,000.
October 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 is 3 months
The interest revenue that will be recorded for the year 2019 is $1,000 x 3 months
=$3,000

The drought of 2011 devastated hay crops in the plains states and horse owners ranged far and wide to purchase hay for their horses when winter arrived. Hay can be purchased "up north" for $4 a bale and a few entrepreneurs with large trailers were more than willing to pick up a few hundred bales and haul them south where demand was high. The transportation cost was $6 per bale and a packing and loading cost of $1 was typical. The landed cost of a bale of hay this winter was:
Answer:
The options are given below:
A. $10.
B. $4.
C. $6.
D. $11.
The correct options is D.
Explanation:
Landed cost refers to the total price of a product or shipment once it has arrived at a buyer's doorstep. It includes the original price of the product, the transportation fees (both inland and ocean), customs, duties, taxes, tariffs, insurance, currency conversion, crating, handling and payment fees.
Therefore, in calculating the landed cost of the question above, we sum all the costs incurred thus:
Purchase price = $4
Transportation cost = $6
Packing and loading cost = $1
Landing cost = $4 + $6 + $1 = $11.
