Answer:
influence consideration
Explanation:
Influence consideration is a marketing objective that is targeted toward a group of potential customers who already aware of your product, but still not sure whether your product is better than your competitor's. So they're pretty much weighing their options.
In the example above, The target is the users who are researching scuba-diving lessons. The interest for the product is already exist. In order to attract the attention toward his business, Frank need to create a campaign that offer more value compared to the competitors. (probably can be done by giving a couple of preview about what the lesson would look like or offering money back guarantee)
Suppose Max values a concert ticket at $45. Charles values the same concert ticket at $40. The pre-tax price of a concert ticket is $30. The government imposes a tax of $5 on each concert ticket, and the price rises to $35. The deadweight loss from the tax is _________.
a. $15.b. $10.c. $5.d. $0.
Answer:
$10
Explanation:
Deadweight loss of tax is the loss in economic efficiency as a result of tax. It is the reduction in consumer and producer surplus as a result of tax.
Before the tax, consumer surplus :
For max = $45 - $30 = $15
For Charles = $40 - $30 = $10
Total consumer surplus = $25
After the tax, consumer surplus -
For Max = $45 - $35 = $10
For Charles = $40 - $35 = $5
Total consumer surplus = $15
Loss in consumer surplus = $25 - $15 = $10
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
D) $0.
Explanation:
A deadweight loss refers to the loss of total economic efficiency due to a tax or a binding price ceiling or price floor. It is represented by the loss of economic surplus (both supplier and consumer surplus) due to a lower quantity sold.
In this case, the tax raised the price of the concert tickets to $35, from $30 which was the previous price. But that $35 is still lower than what max and Charles were willing to pay for the tickets, so they will still go to the concert. So the quantity sold (2) wasn't affected by the tax, so there is no deadweight loss.
A computer company had $3,000,000 in research and development costs. Before recording these costs, the net income of the company was $3,400,000. What is the net income or loss after these costs have been properly accounted for
Answer:
Net income of the company accounted for $400,000
Explanation:
Net income is the income or the amount of residual income from the earnings after deducting all the expense or cost from the sales.
The net income or loss of the company accounted for is computed as:
Net Income or Loss = Net Income - Research and Development cost
where
Net Income amounts to $3,400,000
Research and Development cost amounts to $3,000,000
So, putting the values above:
Net Income or loss = $3,400,000 - $3,000,000
Net Income = $400,000
Julio purchased a stock one year ago for $27. The stock is now worth $32, and the total return to Julio for owning the stock was 37 percent. What is the dollar amount of dividends that he received for owning the stock during the year? (Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.) $5 $6 $7 $4
Answer:$5
Explanation:
The original stock price is $27 while the current worth of the stock is $32.
The profit earned is 37% altogether
Calculation of total profit earned
=27*37%
=$9.99 or rounded of to $10
Value of stock with profits earned = 27+10
=37
Calculation of amount of dividend
=37-32
=5
Therefore $5 is earned as dividend by Julio. And the capital gain is $5. So the total gain from holding the stock is $10.
Final answer:
To calculate the dividends received, subtract the capital gain ($5) from the total return ($10) to find that Julio received $5 in dividends for owning the stock during the year.
Explanation:
The student is asking about calculating dividends received from owning stock, given the initial purchase price, the selling price after one year, and the total return achieved.
To find the dollar amount of dividends received by Julio, we must first determine his total return in dollars and then subtract the capital gain, which is the increase in stock value. We calculate the total return in dollars by taking 37% of the initial purchase price of $27. So, the total return is $27 × 0.37 = $9.99, which we round to the nearest whole dollar, giving us $10. The capital gain is the increase in the stock value from $27 to $32, which is $5. To find the dividends, we subtract the capital gain from the total return: $10 - $5 = $5. Julio received $5 in dividends during the year.

In a product modification _______. an existing product s taste, texture, sound, smell, or appearance is usually altered the new product is in a different product category an existing product's dependability and durability is lowered the original product remains part of the product line the original product does not remain part of the product line
Answer:
The correct answer is that the existing product is altered or modified as per the texture, sound, taste and appearance.
Explanation:
Product Modification is the term which is defined as the attempt of the company to extend the length of the product life cycle through making large or small changes to the product in order to keep the customers interested in the product.
In short, it is the procedure to change the existing product as per the needs, taste of the customer. For example, change in the packaging of the product.
So, in the procedure of product modification, the existing product is altered or modified as per the texture, sound, taste and appearance.
In a product modification, an existing product's physical or intangible characteristics are usually altered to improve its appeal. Differentiation, which can occur on both tangible and intangible levels, is essential for attracting consumers and staying competitive in the market.
Explanation:In a product modification, an existing product's taste, texture, sound, smell, or appearance is usually altered, with the intention to make the product more attractive to consumers and potentially capture a wider market segment. Such modifications might also include intangible aspects like guarantees of satisfaction, reputation for high quality, or services such as free delivery, which can all serve as points of differentiation.
Product differentiation is key in capturing consumer interest and can happen both on tangible and intangible levels. For example, consumers develop preferences for certain brands of ketchup, beer, or cola not necessarily based on taste, which might be indistinguishable in blind tests, but rather due to factors like brand image, advertising, and past habits. These intangible aspects, such as a brand's reputation or advertising campaigns, can significantly influence consumer choices by shaping the perceived value of the product.
Variety is another aspect of differentiation, as seen in products like orange juice, which is offered with variations like pulp levels and nutrient fortifications to appeal to different consumer preferences. Companies frequently update or modify their products to stay competitive, which can sometimes frustrate consumers who prefer the original versions. Nonetheless, these adjustments are often essential for maintaining a brand's relevance in the market.

Explanation:
A personnel director at a large company studied the eating habits of employees by watching the movements of a selected group of employees at lunchtime. The purpose of the study was to determine the proportion of employees who buy lunch in the cafeteria, bring their own lunches, or go out to lunch. If the director selects 50 employees at random from throughout the company and categorizes their lunchtime practices by gender, she is:
Answer: blocking for gender
Explanation: Blocking refers to a experimental research procedure which involves splitting experimental variables into separate units. This speration is performed in other to avoid bias or effect this separately identified varibales may bring into our experiment if not tested separately. The blocks may be referred to as known categories upon which variables in an experiment may be divided such that treatment is applied to independently to the separate blocks or experimental unit. In the scenario above, the personnel director is blocking for gender by splitting the variables or participants based on gender.
Now, suppose that, rather than immediately lending out all excess reserves, banks begin holding some excess reserves due to uncertain economic conditions. Specifically, banks increase the percentage of deposits held as reserves from 10% to 25%. This increase in the reserve ratio causes the money multiplier to to . Under these conditions, the Fed would need to $ worth of U.S. government bonds in order to increase the money supply by $200.
Answer:
In order to increase money supply by $200 ,Fed would have to buy U.S government bonds worth of $50
Explanation:
Initially:
Reserve requirement = 10% or 0.10
Simple money multiplier = 1/RR = 1/0.10 = 10
Increase in money supply = Increase in total reserves* Simple money multiplier
Increase in money supply is $200
$200=increase in total reserves *10
increase in total reserves=$200/10
=$20
However, since the the the percentage of deposits held as reserves has increased to 25%,the amount Fed would need to invest in U.S government bonds would increase accordingly:
reserve requirement=25% or 0.25
Simple money multiplier =1/IRR=1/0.25=4
crease in money supply = Increase in total reserves* Simple money multiplier
Increase in money supply is $200
$200=increase in total reserves *4
increase in total reserves=$200/4
=$50
Increase in total reserves of $50 implies that Fed has to make $50 to the banks under it by buying U.S government of $50

Delaney makes $7.85 per hour She worked 20 hours last week Delaney had payroll deductions for $32 for federal state and local taxes and Social Security what was the ladies take home pay
Answer:
$125
Explanation:
Take home pay is the amount of earning that a person receives after making all the adjustment and deductions. Taxes and other deduction are made in the gross pay to calculate the net pay or take home pay.
Gross pay = Numbers of hours x Hourly rate = 20 hours x $7.85 = $157 for the week
Net Pay / Take home pay = Gross pay - Tax deduction = $157 - $32 = $125
Answer:
$125
Explanation:
Given that
Delaney makes $7.85 per hour
Delaney works for 20 hours
Thus,
Gross pay = amount per hour × number of hours worked
= 7.85 × 20
= $ 157.
She earns $157 in a week.
However,
Take home salary/Net pay = Gross income - deductibles
Where
Deductibles in form of taxes = $32
Therefore,
Take home = 157 - 32
= $125
Note that, take home pay refers to the remaining amount of an individual's pay or income after deductions (taxes, benefits etc.)
On July 1, the first day of its fiscal year, the Town of Eldon levied a $1,000,000 property tax which is payable in full on December 1 of the same year. On September 15, the town decided to borrow $200,000 in 90-day tax anticipation notes to cover operating expenditures until the tax revenues are collected. The journal entry on September 15 to record the issuance of tax anticipation notes will include:
Answer:
Tax Anticipation Note Payable
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the issuance of the tax anticipation note is shown below:
Cash Dr XXXXX
To Tax Anticipation Note Payable XXXXX
(Being the issuance of the tax anticipation note is recorded)
For recording this transaction, we debited the cash account and credited the tax anticipation note payable
To record the issuance of $200,000 in tax anticipation notes, the Town of Eldon would debit Cash and credit Tax Anticipation Notes Payable. This transaction helps bridge the gap until property tax revenues are collected.
Explanation:The journal entry on September 15 to record the issuance of tax anticipation notes by the Town of Eldon would include a debit to Cash and a credit to Tax Anticipation Notes Payable. This entry reflects the borrowing of $200,000 to cover operating expenditures until the property tax revenues are collected. This type of short-term financing is common for municipalities to manage cash flows, especially when there's a gap between the fiscal year start and the collection of significant revenues such as property taxes.
The​ ________ approach recognizes that both financial and operational performance measures should be considered when evaluating company performance.
Answer:
The correct answer is balanced scorecard.
Explanation:
The concept of balanced scorecard came from the idea of looking at the strategic measures in addition to financial performance of an organization in order to have an holistic view of the organization's performance. It is also a strategic tool used in setting key performance indicators (KPIs) for organizations.
The balanced scorecard is used to:

Buying a foreclosed property is risky due to potential property devaluation and inheriting undisclosed issues, including liens and debts. The possibility of a depressed market and history of subprime loans adds further unpredictability and volatility to the investment.
Buying a foreclosed property is risky for several reasons, two of which are the potential for property devaluation and inheriting undisclosed property issues. A property may be foreclosed on when the owner defaults on their loan, which can generate a negative stigma around the property, potentially reducing its value. Furthermore, during the foreclosure process, maintenance may be neglected, leading to significant reparations that the new owner will need to address. These factors are exacerbated in a weak local economy where the general real estate market may be depressed, further risking the investment in a foreclosed home.
Additionally, acquiring a foreclosed property often means that one also acquires any liens or other unknown debts tied to the property, substantially increasing the risk. Another factor is the history of subprime loans, which were given to borrowers with poor credit history and which contributed significantly to the 2008 financial crisis. These risky loans and subsequent foreclosures can lead to a more volatile and unpredictable real estate market, especially concerning foreclosed homes.
The HR department at Bailey Services is considering offering telecommuting as an option to some experienced employees. At a meeting to formalize the move, the heads of the different departments met with Laura Watson, the HR manager. Laura, who thought this meeting would be a short one, was proven wrong when all the members, who had previously agreed that telecommuting would work in their company, began coming up with divergent views. By the end, two divisions claimed having major concerns about allowing employees to telecommute, and those in favor of it were equally vocal. This scenario depicts the operation of: ________.
A) conformity
B) groupshift
C) role conflict
D) groupthinkE) social loafing
Answer: B - Groupshift.
Explanation:
When any group comes together and has different views it can cause a groupshift. This is different than having a discussion, conformity, role conflicts, etc. The groupshift will usually go for the most extreme ideas out of all others and go with that instead. It only takes one vocal person in the group to shift the ways the others think and change the views they had before the meeting.
The most dominant speaker in the group will be the one to persuade the others to join in their views and therefore making it a groupshift.
Ceres corporation acquired a mineral mine for $6,000,000 of which $600,000 was ascribed to land value after the mineral has been removed. geological surveys have indicated that 9 million units of the mineral could be extracted. during 2017, 1.8 million units were extracted and 1.2 million units were sold. what is the total amount of depletion recorded in inventory for 2017?
The total amount of depletion recorded in inventory for Ceres Corporation in 2017 for the mineral mine amounts to $720,000, which is calculated based on the depletion rate per unit and the number of units sold.
Explanation:The subject of this question deals with the calculation of depletion for a mineral mine. Depletion is the allocation of the cost of natural resources over time. In this case, Ceres Corporation must determine the depletion cost to include in the inventory for the mineral units extracted but not necessarily all sold in 2017. To calculate depletion, we must first find the depletion per unit, which is done by subtracting the value of the land after minerals are removed from the acquisition cost and then dividing by the total estimated units. The acquisition cost of the mineral mine is $6,000,000, and the value of the land after mineral removal is $600,000, giving us $5,400,000 for the total mineral value to be depleted. With an estimated 9 million units extractable, the depletion per unit is $0.60.
During 2017, 1.8 million units were extracted. However, since depletion is included in the inventory, only the depletion corresponding to the units sold is factored. Since 1.2 million units were sold, the depletion expense to be recorded in inventory is 1.2 million units multiplied by $0.60 per unit, which equals $720,000.

Markets in the U.S. where foreign countries set up and sell products d. Secure sites in foreign countries where goods wait for clearance by importing country
Answer:
b
Explanation:
A Foreign-Trade Zone is a secure site within the United States where commercial goods both domestic and foreign, receives the same treatment by US Customs as though it was not within the commerce of the United States.
Foreign Trade Zones is used by some firms to put off the payment of duties and taxes.
Foreign and domestic goods are said to be in international commerce and not within the US Customs territory.
Answer:
b. Secure sites within the U.S. where goods and materials can be assembled and exported without being levied domestic duties or excise taxes.
Explanation:
Foreign trade zone is a geographical area within the U.S where goods and materials can be assembled and exported without being levied domestic duties or excise taxes.
Foreign trade zone enables American businesses to be competitive against other economy. The burden of tariff has been lifted which reduces the price of the product. With their lower prices, they can compete more in the global economy.
Foreign trade zone is a zone free from tariffs and taxes. The zone is established in order to lower the costs of U.S. based products in international trade.
It helps relieve tariff burden of foreign inputs imported and the finished product exported.
When import tariff are lifted off imported inputs, finished goods have lower cost of production. Producers can also lower prices as a result of this.
Foreign trade zone is used to encourage trade in the international market.

Rhodes Company reports the following information for the Year 1 fiscal year: Sales on account$650,000 Accounts receivable$70,000 Allowance for doubtful accounts$4,000 Determine the average number of days it takes Rhodes to collect its accounts receivable. (Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Final answer:
The average number of days it takes Rhodes Company to collect its accounts receivable is approximately 39 days, calculated by dividing annual sales on account by the average accounts receivable and then dividing the number of days in a year by the turnover ratio.
Explanation:
To determine the average number of days it takes Rhodes Company to collect its accounts receivable, we use the accounts receivable turnover ratio. This ratio is calculated by dividing total sales on account by the average accounts receivable. Then we use the turnover ratio to calculate the average collection period.
The accounts receivable turnover ratio is calculated as follows:
Sales on Account: $650,000Average Accounts Receivable: $70,000Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio: $650,000 / $70,000 = 9.29 (rounded to two decimal places)To find the average number of days to collect accounts receivable, we divide the number of days in a year by the turnover ratio:
Days in a Year: 365 daysAverage Collection Period: 365 days / 9.29 = 39.29 days (rounded to two decimal places)Therefore, it takes Rhodes Company approximately 39 days on average to collect its accounts receivable.
Consider the following five situations. In which situation would a borrower be best off and in which situation would a lender be best off? a. The nominal interest rate is 14 percent and the inflation rate is 17 percent. b. The nominal interest rate is 9 percent and the inflation rate is 5 percent. c. The nominal interest rate is 4 percent and the inflation rate is negative 2 percent. d. The real interest rate is 8 percent and the inflation rate is 3 percent. e. The real interest rate is 3 percent and the inflation rate is 9 percent. The borrower is best off in situation ▼ and the lender is best off in situation ▼ A B C D E .
Answer:
The borrower is best off in situation "a" and the lender is best off in situation ▼ "C" .
Explanation:
Considering all the situations given in the options, the borrower is best in situation a and lender is best off in situation in c.
Part a
Real Interest rate = Nominal Interest rate - Inflation rate = 14 - 17 = -3 per cent. Thus, the purchasing power of money has fallen and the person has to pay back money with little purchasing power as compared to the value of the purchasing power at the time he borrowed money. Thus, borrowers are best off.Thus, borrower is best off when the inflation rate is very high.
Part c
Inflation rate is negative, thus the purchasing power of money will increase and lenders will get back money with higher purchasing power as compared to the value of the purchasing power of money at the time he lend the money. Thus, lender is best off when inflation rate is lowest.
The borrower is best off in Scenario A (nominal interest rate of 14%, inflation 17%), as they pay back less in real terms due to high inflation. The lender is best off in Scenario C (nominal interest rate of 4%, inflation -2%), as the money they get back will have a higher purchasing power.
Explanation:This question essentially addresses the concept of interest rates and their relationship with inflation. Interest rates represent the cost of borrowing for borrowers and the return on lending for lenders. Inflation, on the other hand, represents the erosion of purchasing power over time. After factoring in inflation, the real interest rate provides a clearer view of the cost of borrowing or the return on lending.
The borrower is best off when the real interest rate is negative, which happens when inflation is higher than the nominal interest rate. This scenario is depicted in situation A where the nominal interest rate is 14 percent and the inflation rate is 17 percent. Here, the borrower's cost in real terms is lower because inflation erodes the value of the money they will have to pay back.
On the other hand, the lender is best off when the real interest rate is positive and as high as possible. This occurs when the nominal interest rate is higher than the inflation rate or when the inflation rate is negative. The best scenario for the lender is situation C where the nominal interest rate is 4 percent and the inflation rate is a negative 2 percent. Here, the lender's return in real terms is higher because the money they get back will have a higher purchasing power.

Last year, Sefton purchased 60 pounds of potatoes to feed his family of five when his household income was $30,000. This year, his household income fell to $20,000 and Sefton purchased 80 pounds of potatoes. All else constant, Sefton's income elasticity of demand for potatoes is A) positive, so Sefton considers potatoes to be a normal good and a necessity. B) positive, so Sefton considers potatoes to be an inferior good. C) negative, so Sefton considers potatoes to be a normal good. D) negative, so Sefton considers potatoes to be an inferior good.
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand potatoes is negative. Potato is considered an inferior goods because demand for an inferior good decreases with an increase in income and increases with a decrease in income.
Last year when the income was $30,000, 60 pounds was consumed. It increased to 80 pounds when the income fell to $20,000.
A normal good will increase with an increase in income and decrease with a decrease in income.
Answer:
D) negative, so Sefton considers potatoes to be an inferior good.
Explanation:
the formula to calculate income elasticity of demand is:
income elasticity = % change in quantity demanded / % change in income
income elasticity = [(80 - 60) / 60] / [(20,000 - 30,000) / 30,000] = (20 / 60) / (-10,000 / 30,000) = 0.333 / -0.333 = -1
Since the income elasticity is negative, potatoes are an inferior good for Sefton. The quantity purchased of inferior goods increases as income decreases. On the other hand, normal goods have a positive income elasticity, since the quantity purchased increases as income increases.
is the percent change in quantity demanded divided by the percent change in income.
