Answer:
Dividend Yield 5.11%
Cost of Capital or expected return 10.11%
Explanation:
1.84/36 = 0.0511111 = 5.11%
we use the gordon model to calculate the return.
[tex]\frac{divends}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.84}{return-0.05} = 36[/tex]
1.84/36 + 0.05 = 0.1011111 = 10.1111%
The dividend yield is 5.11% and the capital gains yield can be calculated using the total return.
Explanation:To calculate the dividend yield, we divide the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. In this case, the dividend is $1.84 per share and the stock price is $36. Dividing $1.84 by $36 gives us 0.0511. Multiply this by 100 to get the dividend yield as a percentage: 5.11%.
The expected capital gains yield can be calculated by subtracting the dividend yield from the total return. Since the question does not provide the total return, we cannot calculate the exact capital gains yield. However, we know that the total return includes both dividends and capital gains, so the capital gains yield would be the remaining percentage after subtracting the dividend yield from the total return.

On December 1, 2016, Acme Company places a new asset into service. The cost of the asset is $50,000 with an estimated five-year life and $10,000 salvage value at the end of its useful life. What is the depreciation expense for 2017 if Acme Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation?
Answer: $8000
Explanation: Under straight line method of depreciation, the book value of an asset is spread over its useful life . It can be computed using following formula :-
[tex]=\:\frac{Initial cost\:-\:salvage\:value}{useful\:life}[/tex]
putting the values into equation we get,
[tex]=\:\frac{50,000\:-\:10,000}{5}[/tex]
therefore,
depreciation expense = $8000
At the beginning of 2018, Angel Corporation began offering a two-year warranty on its products. The warranty program was expected to cost Angel 6% of net sales. Net sales made under warranty in 2018 were $193 million. Fifteen percent of the units sold were returned in 2018 and repaired or replaced at a cost of $5.00 million. The amount of warranty expense on Angel's 2018 income statement is:
Answer:
The amount of warranty expense on Angel's 2018 income statement is $11.58 million.
Explanation:
Income statement : The income statement is that statement which represents the income for the particular year.
The income is calculated by subtracting all types of costs from sales revenue.
The motive behind the preparation of income statement is to examine the company profitability, financial performance, etc.
The amount of warranty expense on Angel's 2018 income statement is calculated below
= Net sales × cost of warranty program
= $193 million × 6%
= $11.58 million
The other cost like repairing cost or replacement cost is not considered while calculating the warranty expense
Hence, the amount of warranty expense on Angel's 2018 income statement is $11.58 million.
West Corp. purchased a piece of equipment in January 2014. The accountant of West Corp. decided to use double declining balance method to depreciate this equipment. For 2014, compared with using straight-line depreciation method, the company will have: (a) A higher net income and a higher accumulated depreciation. (b) A lower net income and a higher accumulated depreciation. (c) A higher net income and a lower accumulated depreciation. (d) A lower net income and a lower accumulated depreciation.
Answer:
(b) A lower net income and a higher accumulated depreciation.
Explanation:
[tex]straight-line \: depreciation \times 2 = double-declining \: depreciation[/tex]
The depreciation expense is higher the first periods using double-declining method. This generates a lower net income because the depreciation expense under DD method is greater.
Also, because the DD depreciation expense is greater the accumulated depreciation will be higher than striaght-line method.

Musashi and Rina are building their portfolios. Musashi purchases shares in a mutual fund and pays fees to a manager who actively manages the mutual fund's portfolio. He does so because he believes that the manager can identify inexpensive stocks that will rise in value. Rina is not convinced. She buys shares in an index fund—a type of mutual fund that simply buys all of the stocks in a given stock index rather than actively managing a portfolio.
Rina builds her portfolio based on the notion that:
A) All stocks are overvalued.
B) The stock market exhibits informational efficiency.
C) Stock analysts can use fundamental analysis to identify undervalued stocks.
Rina builds her portfolio with an index fund based on the belief that the stock market exhibits informational efficiency, suggesting that all known information is already reflected in stock prices, making it difficult to outperform the market consistently.
Explanation:Musashi and Rina are exploring different strategies in building their investment portfolios. Musashi opts for a mutual fund with active portfolio management, hoping to capitalize on undervalued stocks that will grow in value. Rina, on the other hand, chooses an index fund, a type of mutual fund that mirrors the performance of a specific stock index, such as the S&P 500. Rina's decision is based on her belief in the stock market's informational efficiency, which suggests that all available information about investment securities, such as stocks, is already reflected in their prices, making it difficult for any investor or fund manager to consistently outperform the market.
The contrast between Musashi's and Rina's choices highlights two fundamental approaches to investing: active management and passive management. Active management, as chosen by Musashi, involves selecting stocks in an attempt to beat market returns. Passive management, exemplified by Rina's choice, is based on the assumption that it's difficult to beat the market, so it's better to match market returns at a lower cost. This debate touches on key concepts in investment strategies, including diversification, risk, and the costs of transacting. Both investors seek to create diversified portfolios to minimize risk, but they diverge in their beliefs about market efficiency and the ability of active management to add value over time.
Jason is developing a research design for a study of wine drinkers. The target population is widely dispersed. Jason needs to collect data on past consumption behavior and intentions for future behavior. Which type of data collection method is most appropriate for Jason's project? A. CommunicationB. ObservationC. MonitoringD. ExperimentalE. Causal
Answer:
The type of data collection which is most appropriated here is A) communication.
Explanation:
For Jason to collect the data for his study on wine drinkers , he needs to communicate the people who have tasted the wine, he needs to listen to those peoples stories , their evaluation about the wine , do they like it or not . Jason needs to meet those people to understand their communication characteristics, it will be really important on the Jason's part to get an insight in to what these people think about wine and enact their realities.
Final answer:
For Jason's study of wine drinkers' behavior with a dispersed target population, survey research is the most suitable data collection method because it allows for the efficient collection of self-reported data from a large number of respondents.
Explanation:
Jason is conducting a research study on wine drinkers' past consumption behavior and intentions for future behavior within a widely dispersed target population. Considering the need to collect self-reported data over a broad geographical area, the most appropriate data collection method for Jason's project is survey research. Surveys are generally efficient for collecting data from large samples, which makes them suitable for studies where participants are dispersed. As a result, survey research allows for generalization to the larger population, but one must be cautious of potential biases related to self-reported data. In this case, Jason will likely design a questionnaire that wine drinkers across various locations can complete, perhaps through online platforms, mail, or telephone interviews. This approach will enable him to gather the necessary information on consumption habits and future intentions without the need to observe behavior directly or conduct controlled experiments, which may not be feasible given the geographic dispersion of the population.
The Fly-By-Night Corp. paid a dividend of $2.85 last year and the dividend is expected to grow at 5% per year for the foreseeable future. The company’s stock is currently selling for $38 per share. What are the expected dividend yield, capital gains yield, and total expected return for Fly-By-Night.
Answer: Dividend yield is 7.875%,
Capital gain yield is 5%
Total yield is 12.875%
Explanation:
Dividend last year= 2.85
Growth rate = 5% or 0.05
∴ Dividend next year [tex]D_{1} = D_{0}\times(1+g)[/tex]
=2.85×(1+0.05)
=2.9925
Stock price = $38
Required Return = [tex]\frac{D_{1}}{P_{0} }[/tex] + Growth rate
= (2.9925/38 ) + 0.05
= 0.12875
[tex]P_{1}= P_{0}\times(1+Growth)[/tex]
= 38×(1+0.05)
= 39.9
Dividend yield = [tex]\frac{D_{1}}{P_{0} }[/tex]
= 2.9925÷38
= 0.07875 or 7.875%
Capital gain yield = [tex]\frac{(P_{1} -P_{0} ) }{P_{0} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{(39.9 - 38)}{38}[/tex]
= 0.05 or 5%
Total Expected Return = Dividend yield + Capital gain yield
= 0.07875 + 0.05
= 0.12875 or 12.875%
∴ Dividend yield is 7.875%,
Capital gain yield is 5%
Total yield is 12.875%
the cost of lawn maintenance varies directly with the size of the lawn. If the monthly maintenance on a 4000-square foot lawn is $280 then what is the maintenance for a 6000 square foot lawn
Answer: The cost of maintenance for a 6000 square foot lawn is $420.
Explanation:
Since we have given that
Cost of monthly maintenance on a 4000 square foot lawn = $280
We need to find the cost of monthly maintenance on a 6000 square foot lawn.
Since the cost of lawn maintenance varies directly with the size of the lawn.
So, it becomes,
[tex]\dfrac{4000}{280}=\dfrac{6000}{x}\\\\\dfrac{100}{7}=\dfrac{6000}{x}\\\\x=\dfrac{6000\times 7}{100}\\\\x=\$420[/tex]
Hence, the cost of maintenance for a 6000 square foot lawn is $420.
The maintenance cost for a 6000-square foot lawn is $420, calculated by multiplying the original cost for a 4000-square foot lawn by the factor of increase which is 1.5.
The cost of lawn maintenance varies directly with the size of the lawn. Using the provided information, if a 4000-square foot lawn costs $280 for maintenance, we can determine the cost for a 6000-square foot lawn by setting up a proportion. Since the size of the lawn increases by a factor of 1.5 (from 4000 to 6000), the cost for maintenance will also increase by this factor. Therefore, we multiply the original cost by this factor to determine the new cost of maintenance:
Original cost for 4000 sq ft: $280
Factor of increase: 6000 sq ft / 4000 sq ft = 1.5
New cost for 6000 sq ft: $280 imes 1.5 = $420
Thus, the maintenance for a 6000-square foot lawn is $420.
Englehart, Inc. reports the following operating results for the month of August: Sales $450,000 (units 5,000); variable costs $280,000; and fixed costs $115,000. Management is considering the following independent courses of action to increase net income. 1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs. 2. Reduce variable costs to 60% of sales. 3. Reduce fixed costs by $15,000. Compute the net income to be earned under each alternative.
Answer:
(1) net income 72,000
(2) net income 65,000
(3) net income 70,000
Explanation:
sales 450,000 - 280,000 = 170,000 contribution
contribution / sales = CMR = .37777777 = 17/45
(1)
Δincrease in sales x CMR = Δoperating income
10% of 450,000 x 17/45 = Δoperating income
17,000 = Δoperating income
previous t income + Δoperating income = new net income
55,000 + 17,000 = 72,000
(2)
varible cost = 60% of sales
then CMR= sales - 60% of sales = 40%
Sales x CMR - fixed cost = net income
450,000 x .4 - 115,000 = 65,000
(3)
↓fixed cost = 15,000
previous t income + ↓fixed cost = new net income
55,000 + 15,000 = 70,000
Assume that in January 2013, the average house price in a particular area was $281,400. In January 2000, the average price was $198,300. What was the annual increase in selling price?
Answer:
The annual increase is
$6392.61
Explanation:
We need to calculate the total increase and then divide by the number of years
It is asking for nominal amount so we are not going to use any rate.
[tex] \frac{current \: value - previous \: value}{current \: year - previous \: year} = annual \: increase[/tex]
281400-198300= 83100 total increase
t2013 - 2000 = 13 time
83100/13=6392.61 annual increase

Due to an error in computing depreciation expense, Prewitt Corporation overstated accumulated depreciation by $20 million as of December 31, 2018. Prewitt has a tax rate of 35%. Prewitt's retained earnings as of December 31, 2018, would be (Round million answer to 2 decimal places.):
Answer:
Retained earnings will be less by $13 million than actual retained earnings.
Explanation:
Since there is an error in depreciation as on December 31, 2018
Where it is overstated by $20 million, and therefore net retained earnings of the year 2018 will be understated as because of overstatement of expenses.
Net effect of taxes will be that, $20 million X 35% tax = $7 taxes saved.
Reduced balance of retained earnings by = $20 - $7 = $13 million.
On June 1, 2018, Dirty Harry Co. borrowed cash by issuing a 6-month noninterest-bearing note with a maturity value of $560,000 and a discount rate of 5%. Assuming straight-line amortization of the discount, what is the carrying value of the note as of September 30, 2018?
Answer:
PV 550,506.64
Explanation:
[tex]Nominal \times (1 - \: discount \: rate)^{time} = \: Present \: Value[/tex]
[tex]560,000 \times \: (1-0.05)^{4/12} = PV[/tex]
PV = 550,506.64
We can convert the discount rate to interest rate and reach the same value:
[tex]i= \frac{d}{1-d} = 0.05/0.95 = 0.052631578[/tex]
[tex]\frac{Nominal}{(1+rate)^{time}} = PV[/tex]
[tex]\frac{560,000}{(1+0.052631578)^{1/3}} = PV[/tex]
PV = 550,506.64

Which of the following is not true? As long as most of the links are strong, one or two weak links won't adversely affect the chain. The customer is at the end of the supply chain. A supply chain is fluid and constantly changing. Good supply chain management can improve efficiencies among all components of the production and distribution process. Supply chain management can help companies reduce their carbon footprints.
Answer: Option A
Explanation: In simple words the management of flow of good or services is called supply chain management. It is the chain of processes transforming raw materials into final product and then distributing to customers.
a. In a supply chain management every step is dependent on one other thus one weak link will adversely effect every other step.
b. Distribution of final product to customer is the last step.
c. Effective supply chain management can improve the operations of firm altogether.
d. An effective supply chain management can result in reduction of waste and less use in energy etc., thus, reducing carbon footprints.
Therefore, option a is correct.
The statement "As long as most of the links are strong, one or two weak links won't adversely affect the chain" is not true in supply chain management. Even one or two weak links can disrupt the entire process. Other statements regarding the supply chain are true.
The statement "As long as most of the links are strong, one or two weak links won't adversely affect the chain" is not true. In supply chain management, even one or two weak links can significantly negatively impact the entire chain.
This is because the efficiency and performance of the entire chain are interdependent, and bottlenecks or failures in any part can disrupt the process and affect the final outcome.
Conversely, the other statements are true. The customer is indeed at the end of the supply chain; the supply chain is fluid and constantly changing; good supply chain management can improve efficiencies among all components, and it can also help companies reduce their carbon footprints.
A cement manufacturer has supplied the following data: Tons of cement produced and sold 225,000 Sales revenue $ 1,035,000 Variable manufacturing expense $ 421,000 Fixed manufacturing expense $ 280,000 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 29,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 220,000 Net operating income $ 85,000 What is the company's unit contribution margin?
Answer: $2.6
Explanation: As we know that, contribution is the difference between the selling price and the variable cost. Thus, contribution margin is the per unit contribution so it will be computed as follows -
[tex]contribution\:margin\:=\frac{\:selling\:price-variable\:cost}{total\:unit\:sales}[/tex]
[tex]contribution\:margin\:=\frac{\:1,035,000-\left ( 421,000+29,000 \right )}{225,000}[/tex]
$2.6
The unit contribution margin is calculated by subtracting the combined variable expenses per unit from the sales revenue per unit. For the given cement manufacturer, the unit contribution margin is $2.60 per ton.
To find the unit contribution margin, we have:
Sales revenue: $1,035,000Variable manufacturing expense: $421,000Variable selling and administrative expenses: $29,000Tons of cement produced and sold: 225,000 tonsThe combined variable expenses are the sum of the variable manufacturing expense and the variable selling and administrative expense, which equals $421,000 + $29,000 = $450,000.
Now, we calculate the revenue per unit:
Sales revenue / Quantity = $1,035,000 / 225,000 tons = $4.60 per ton
Next, calculate the variable cost per unit:
Combined variable expenses / Quantity = $450,000 / 225,000 tons = $2.00 per ton
Then, the unit contribution margin is calculated as:
Revenue per unit - Variable cost per unit = $4.60 - $2.00 = $2.60 per ton

Suppose the federal government is considering an air quality policy initiative that would effectively increase abatement (A) of ozone from 10 percent to 20 percent and that the marginal social benefit (MSB) of ozone abatement in millions of dollars has been estimated as MSB = 120 − 2.5A. Determine the dollar value of incremental benefits associated with this initiative.
Answer: $4.615 is the dollar value of incremental benefit.
Explanation:
10% increase in abatement A would be equal to the marginal social benefit.
0.1[tex]\times[/tex]A = 120 - 2.5A
2.6[tex]\times[/tex]A=120
A=[tex]\frac{120}{2.6}[/tex]
A = 46.15
Incremental benefit MSB = 120 - 2.5[tex]\times[/tex]46.15 =$4.615
$4.615 is the dollar value of incremental benefit.
To find the dollar value of incremental benefits of increased ozone abatement from 10% to 20%, use the MSB function MSB = 120 − 2.5A to evaluate both levels. The increment is the difference in MSB, which is $25 million in this case.
Explanation:The student asked how to determine the dollar value of incremental benefits associated with an increase in ozone abatement from 10 percent to 20 percent, given the marginal social benefit (MSB) function MSB = 120 − 2.5A.
To calculate the dollar value of the incremental benefits offered by the policy initiative, we first need to evaluate the MSB at the new abatement level (A = 20) and the initial abatement level (A = 10), and then find the difference between the two. Plug in A = 20 into the MSB function to get MSB = 120 − 2.5(20), which equals $70 million. Then plug in A = 10 to get MSB = 120 − 2.5(10), which equals $95 million. The incremental benefit is the difference between the two: $95 million - $70 million, which equals $25 million.
Step-by-step calculationCalculate MSB at A = 20: MSB = 120 − 2.5(20) = $70 million.Calculate MSB at A = 10: MSB = 120 − 2.5(10) = $95 million.Find the incremental benefit: $95 million - $70 million = $25 million.This $25 million represents the total increase in social benefits due to the policy's change from 10 percent to 20 percent ozone abatement.

The increase in assets account have a negative meaning, because it is assumed the company used cash to adquire it.
Whiel increase in liabilities are positive, because the company receive aah or delay the payment of cash.
To prepare the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows using the indirect method, start with the net income and make adjustments for non-cash expenses, gains and losses, and changes in working capital. In this case, the net cash provided by operating activities for 2017 is $216,220.
Explanation:To prepare the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows using the indirect method, we start with the net income and adjust it with non-cash expenses, gains and losses, and the changes in working capital. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Start with Net Income: $177,200Add Depreciation Expense: Depreciation expense is a non-cash expense, so we add it back to the net income. This gives us $177,200 + $35,230 = $212,430Add Loss on Disposal of Plant Assets: The loss on disposal of plant assets is a non-cash loss, so we add it back. This gives us $212,430 + $4,920 = $217,350Adjust for Changes in Working Capital: Subtract the increase in accounts receivable (a use of cash), add the increase in accounts payable (a source of cash), and subtract the increase in prepaid expenses (a use of cash). This gives us $217,350 - $14,160 + $17,220 - $4,190 = $216,220So, the net cash provided by operating activities for 2017 is $216,220.

A company desires to sell a sufficient quantity of products to earn a profit of $400000. If the unit sales price is $16, unit variable cost is $12, and total fixed costs are $800000, how many units must be sold to earn net income of $400000?
Answer:
300,000 units
Explanation:
In the given question we need to calculate break even point with given profit, i.e. Fixed cost + desired profit = $800,000 + $400,000 = $1,200,000
Contribution per unit = Selling price - Variable cost = $16 - $12 = $4
Break Even Point with profit in units = (Fixed Cost + Profit)/Contribution per unit
= $1,200,000/$4 = 300,000 units.
Total units to be sold = 300,000 units.
To find the number of units needed to earn a net income of $400000, use the formula: Profit = (Unit Sales Price - Unit Variable Cost) x Quantity - Total Fixed Costs.
Explanation:The company's desired profit can be calculated using the formula:
Profit = (Unit Sales Price - Unit Variable Cost) x Quantity - Total Fixed Costs
Substitute the given values:
Profit = ($16 - $12) x Quantity - $800000 = $400000Solve for Quantity to find out how many units must be sold to earn a net income of $400000.
By shutting down, a firm A. stops receiving revenue and is stuck with its fixed costs. B. can avoid paying taxes on its previously earned profits. C. stops receiving revenue but continues to pay variable costs. D. avoids its sunk costs as well as its variable costs. g
Answer:
option A
Explanation: A firm cannot avoid paying taxes on previous profits as these profits were earned before the shutting down period and generally the taxes on profits for current period are paid at a later period. Thus option B is incorrect.
.
Revenue is the total income that a business gets from its normal operations and variable cost is the cost that changes with the level of output. Thus, there will be no revenue and also variable cost. Hence option C is incorrect.
.
Sunk cost are the costs that cannot be recovered and are already been incurred.So a company can avoid its variable cost by shutting down but not its sunk cost. Hence option D is incorrect.
.
Fixed costs are the costs that are independent of the level of output. Therefore, a company after shutting down will not receive revenue but will have to bear fixed cost. Hence option A is correct.
Karlik Enterprises distributes a single product whose selling price is $15.70 and whose variable expense is $10.30 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $21,060. Required: 2. Calculate the company’s break-even point in unit sales.
Answer: Company’s break-even point in unit sales is 3900 units
Explanation:
Given :
Selling Price (SP) = $ 15.70
Variable expense per unit (VC) = $10.30
Fixed expense = $21,060
Now,
Contribution per unit = SP - VC = $15.70 - $10.30 = $5.40
Break-even point in unit sales is given as :
= [tex]\frac{Fixed expense}{Contribution per unit }[/tex]
= 21060/5.40
=3900 units
" The answer is: 3900."
The company's break-even point in unit sales can be calculated using the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Break-even point in units} = \frac{\text{Fixed expenses}}{\text{Selling price per unit} - \text{Variable expense per unit}} \][/tex]
Given the selling price per unit ($P$) is $15.70 and the variable expense per unit ($V$) is $10.30, and the fixed expenses ($F$) are $21,060, we can plug these values into the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Break-even point in units} = \frac{F}{P - V} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Break-even point in units} = \frac{\$21,060}{\$15.70 - \$10.30} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Break-even point in units} = \frac{\$21,060}{\$5.40} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Break-even point in units} = 3,900 \][/tex]
Therefore, Karlik Enterprises needs to sell 3,900 units to break even.
[tex]\[ \boxed{3900} \[/tex]
Suppose you know that a company’s stock currently sells for $56 per share and the required return on the stock is 10 percent. You also know that the total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield. If it’s the company’s policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, what is the current dividend per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Current dividend per share =$2.67
Explanation:
[tex]Total Return = Div yield + Capital gain yield = 10%\\[/tex]
But from the question
[tex]Dividend yield = Capital gains yield[/tex]
therefore [tex]Dividend yield =\frac{0.1}{2} = 0.05[/tex]
[tex]Dividend yield = \frac{D1}{P0}[/tex]
therefore: [tex]D1=P0*Dividend yield = 56*0.05=$2.80\\[/tex]
the question however is not asking for D1 but D0.
and [tex] D1= D0(1+g)[/tex]
[tex]g=ke-\frac{D1}{P0} = 0.1 - \frac/{2.8}{56} = 0.05[/tex]
therefore [tex]D0=\frac{2.8}{1.05} = $2.67[/tex]
Iridium Corp. has spent $ 3.2 billion over the past decade developing a satellite-based telecommunication system. It is currently trying to decide whether to spend an additional $ 352 million on the project. The firm expects that this outlay will finish the project and will generate cash flow of $ 15.1 million per year over the next 5 years. A competitor has offered $ 460 million for the satellites already in orbit. Classify the firm's outlays as sunk costs or opportunity costs, and specify the incremental cash flows.
Answer:
1. Sunk costs : $3.2 billion is a sunk cost as it is already incurred.
2. Opportunity costs: $352 million investment for finishing project is an Opportunity cost. However it will yield $15.1 million per annum for next 5 Yrs.
So Present Value of this CF is less than $15.1 [tex]\times[/tex] 5=$75.5 million.
So Net Present Value = CF0 + CF1 + ......+ CF5 = -352 + Less than 75 = Negative.
So another Opportunity of selling the Satellite for $460 million is a better option.
3. Specify the relevant cash flows.
If additional $352 million investment is undertaken,
$352 million will be Cash outflow in Y(0). It will result in Annual CF of $15.1 million for next 5 yrs.
Ford conducted research that gave them insights into characteristics of Gen Z. Although Ford finds the information important, they aren't currently developing a specific feature in their vehicles to address the Gen Z characteristics. The R&D completed could then be characterized as:
Answer:
The answer is basic research.
Explanation:
The research and development department conducted managed to answer the research question which was conceptualized in the beginning of research, as implied in the question. However, no further research was conducted for the purpose of designing a product that can be sold to the Gen Z market segment, based on the findings from the previous ones. Thus, we can conclude that the intention of the research was just to discover previously unknown information about Gen Z’s characteristics, which meant the conducted research was only a basic research.
What Ford did was basic research
Further explanation
Basic research or can be called pure research is research intended for the development of science and directed at developing existing theories or discovering new theories.
The objectives of basic research are:
to increase knowledge with basic principles and scientific laws, and to improve scientific search and methodology.
Pure research is not overshadowed by the consideration of the use of these findings for the public. The main concern is the continuity and integrity of science and philosophy. Pure research can be directed anywhere, without thinking about whether there is any connection with events that are needed by the community. The researcher's thought process can take him anywhere, without thinking about what direction and which direction to go.
Examples of basic research include the following: a study of the existence of a halfway house to increase legal awareness of street children, the behavior of rural women in developing small industrial centers, scavenger behavior in terms of sociological aspects, identification of RRM protein characteristics of dengue-3 virus isolates, and others so.

Assume an economy experienced a positive rate of inflation between 2003 and 2004 and again between 2004 and 2005. However, the inflation rate was higher between 2004 and 2005 than it was between 2003 and 2004. Which of the following scenarios is consistent with this assumption? A. The CPI was 100 in 2003, 120 in 2004, and 135 in 2005. B. The CPI was 100 in 2003, 110 in 2004, and 105 in 2005. C. The CPI was 100 in 2003, 105 in 2004, and 130 in 2005. D. The CPI was 100 in 2003, 90 in 2004, and 88 in 2005.
Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
We have to look into the option were:
CPI 2005 > CPI 2004 > CPI 2003
else the country wouldn't experienced a positive inflation
and also
2005/2004 is higher than 2004/2003
to make true the statment that inflation during 2005 was higher than in 2004
Option A and option C meet the first requirement
Let's see if A pass the second requirement
Then 135/120 = 1,125 = 12.5% inflation
And 120/100 = 1.2 = 20% inflation
Option A do not pass this requirement
Option C
130/105 = 23.8%
105/100 = 5%
