Managers should make marketing decisions in the light of their own knowledge and experience instead of viewing research reports as the final answer to their problems because:

a. the number of factors included in a marketing research study are not exhaustive.
b. decisions based on marketing research reports are highly risky.
c. there is no possibility that marketing research will be affected by researcher bias.
d. marketing research is not a systematic process for obtaining information.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. the number of factors included in a marketing research study are not exhaustive.

Explanation:

Marketing research is highly effective as a tool for guiding marketing decisions, but it is necessary for the manager to rely on making decisions not only through research, but also due to his conceptual skills of seeing the organization in a systematic way, where there is a much greater breadth and more complex factors than just the information found through marketing research. The set of the manager's vision, experiences, analyzes and indicators is important for the most adequate assessment so that organizational marketing decisions are effective and achieve the company's objective.

Therefore, it is correct to state that the number of factors included in a marketing research study is not exhaustive.

Svetlana won $1,000,000 in a contest, to be paid in twenty $50,000 payments at yearly intervals, the first payment paid at the time of the contest. (Of course, the present value of her winnings is less than $1,000,000.) Svetlana decided to keep X each year to spend and deposit the remaining $50;000 X into an account earning an annual effective interest rate of 5%. She chose the value X to be as large as possible so that, at the moment of the 20th deposit, the account would have grown to such a size that it would provide Svetlana and her heirs at least X per year in interest forever. Find X.

Answers

Answer: 31155.5

Explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

Money won = $1,000,000

Installments made yearly = $50,000

Interest rate = 5%

The yearly deposits made by Svetalana will be: = 500000-x

The future Value of the yearly deposits made by Svetalana will be:

= (50000-x) × (1/(1.05) + (1/(1.05)^2 .....(1/(1+0.05)^20))

= (500000-x) × 33.066

We should recall that the interest from the question is equated to x. This will be:

33.066 × (50000-x) × 0.05 =x

1.6533(50000 - x) = x

82665 - 1.6533x = x

2.6533x = 82665

x = 82665/2.6533

x = 31155.5

Wholemark is an Internet order business that sells one popular New Year greeting card once a year. The cost of the paper on which the card is printed is $0.40 per card, and the cost of printing is $0.10 per card. The company receives $3.75 per card sold. Since the cards have the current year printed on them, unsold cards have no salvage value. Their customers are from the four areas: Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, and Pasadena. Based on past data, the number of customers from each of the four regions is normally distributed with mean 2,300 and standard deviation 200. (Assume these four are independent.)
What is the optimal production quantity for the card?

Answers

Answer:

9644

Explanation:

cost of paper on which a card is printed = $0.40 per card

cost of printing = $0.10 per card

profit made per card sold = $3.75

number of areas where customers are located (n)= 4

mean of customers from each region = 2300

standard deviation for each region = 200

note : each region is independent

The optimal production quantity for the card can be calculated going through these steps

first we determine

the cost of card = $0.10 + $0.40 = $0.50

selling value = $3.75

salvage value = 0

next we calculate for the z value

= ( selling value - cost of card) /  ( selling price - salvage value )

= ( 3.75 - 0.50 ) / 3.75  = 0.8667

Z( 0.8667 ) = 1.110926 ( using excel formula : NORMSINV ( 0.8667 )

next we calculate

u = n * mean demand

  = 4 *  2300 = 9200

б = [tex]200\sqrt{n}[/tex] = 200 * 2

  = 400

Hence optimal production quantity for the card

= u + Z (0.8667 ) * б

= 9200 + 1.110926 * 400

= 9644.3704

≈ 9644

Answers

Answer:

the maximum loan is $379,417

Explanation:

The computation of the maximum loan is shown below:

As we know that

Maximum Loan = Present Value of all monthly Payments

=  $1,725 × PVAF(0.3%,360 months)

= $1,725 × [1- (1+0.003)^-360] ÷ 0.003

= $1,725 × 219.9517

=  $379,417

hence, the maximum loan is $379,417

asper makes a $28,000, 90-day, 8.5% cash loan to Clayborn Co. The amount of interest that Jasper will collect on the loan is: (Use 360 days a year.)

Answers

Answer:

$595

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of interest is shown below:-

Amount of interest = Loan amount × Interest rate × Number of days ÷ Number of days in a year

= $28,000 × 8.5% × 90 ÷ 360

= $595

Therefore for computing the amount of interest we simply applied the above formula.

leased the asset on a 2-year lease, the payment would be $110 at the begin- ning of each year. If RC borrowed and bought, the bank would charge 10% interest on the loan. In either case, the equipment is worth nothing after 2 years and will be discarded. Should RC lease or buy the equipment?

Answers

Answer:

you should purchase the asset using a bank loan

Explanation:

in order to compare both options, we need to determine the present value of each alternative:

present value of lease costs:

cash flow year 0 = $110

cash flow year 1 = $110

PV = $110 + $110/1.1 = $110 + $100 = $210

present value of purchasing the equipment:

cash flow year 0 = $0

cash flow year 1 = $115.24

cash flow year 2 = $115.24

PV = $200

if you consider the tax shield of leasing = ($220 - $200) x tax rate = $20 x 40% = $8

the tax shield of interest expense = ($230.48 - $200) x tax rate = $30.48 x 40% = $12.19

It doesn't matter how you analyze this, buying is a better and cheaper option. The problem with leasing is that you need to make an immediate payment, while if you borrow money, then the first payment is made in the future. The time value of money is different.

Consider a multifactor model with two factors. A well-diversified portfolio (Portfolio P) has a beta of 0.75 on factor 1 and a beta of 1.25 on factor 2. The risk premiums on the factor 1 and factor 2 are 1% and 7%, respectively. The risk-free rate of return is 7%. What is the expected return on portfolio P, according to a two-factor model

Answers

Answer: 16.5%

Explanation:

Expected Return on portfolio P will be calculated as:

= Rf + (Beta1 × F1) + (Beta2 × F2)

where,

Rf = Risk Free rate

F1 = risk premium on Factor1

F2 = risk premium on Factor2

Expected Return will now be:

= 7% + (0.75 × 1%) + (1.25 × 7%)

= 7% + 0.75% + 8.75%

= 16.5%

The expected return on portfolio P, according to a two-factor model will be 16.5%.

Answer:

16.5%

Explanation:

A multi-factor model can be used to explain either an individual security or a portfolio of securities. It does so by comparing two or more factors to analyze relationships between variables and the resulting performance.

DATA

Risk Free rate  = Rf = 7%

risk premium on Factor1  = F1 =  1%

Beta (Factor 1) = 1.25

risk premium on Factor2  = F2 = 7%

Beta (Factor 1) = 2

Expected Return = Rf + (Beta1 x F1) + (Beta2 * F2)

Expected Return = 7% + (0.75 x 1%) + (1.25 x 7%)

Expected Return = 0.07 + 0.0075 + 0.0875

Expected Return = 0.165 or  16.5%

Net sales = $25813.2

b. Net sales = $25813.2

Less: cost of goods sold = $15000 - $400 = -$14600

Gross profit = $11213.2

Operating expense:

Less: Selling and administrative expenses = -$2835

Operating income = $8378.2

Answers

Answer:

A. expenditures approach and the income approach.

Explanation:

GDP known as gross domestic product, is the dollar value of all final output produced within the borders of the nation during a specific period of time. Under a nominal gross domestic product (GDP) calculation for an economy, the current dollar value of the finished goods and services within the country is used. Since it is a measure that uses the current dollar value, it also include changes in price due to inflation or an increase in price in the economy

The GDP is important because it is a measure of the economy’s overall economic performance.

Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country. The Gross Domestic Products (GDP) of a country's economy gives an insight to it's social well-being, these includes;

The two principle methods of measuring Gross Domestic Product are the expenditures approach and the income approach.

This activity is important because as world trade has grown, more companies have entered the global market.

Totals                                                  $5.26       $5,423,060

b: In her decision to accept or reject the special order for 250,500 units of Y-Go undergarments by the U.S. Army, the Klean Fiber Company will only consider the relevant incremental unit cost of $3.48 and not the whole unit cost of $5.26.  The $3.48 cost excludes the fixed overheads or the selling and administrative expenses.

On January 20, 2017, Tamira Nelson, the accountant for Picton Enterprises, is feeling pressure to complete the annual financial statements. The company president has said he needs up-to-date financial statements to share with the bank on January 21 at a dinner meeting that has been called to discuss Picton's obtaining loan financing for a special building project. Tamira knows that she will not be able to gather all the needed information in the next 24 hours to prepare the entire set of adjusting entries. Those entries must be posted before the financial statements accurately portray the company's performance and financial position for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2016. Tamira ultimately decides to estimate several expense accruals at the last minute. When deciding on estimates for the expenses, she uses low estimates because she does not want to make the financial statements look worse than they are. Tamira finishes the financial statements before the deadline and gives them to the president without mentioning that several account balances are estimates that she provided.
Required:
1. Identify several courses of action that Tamira could have taken instead of the one she took.
2. If you were in Tamira's situation, what would you have done?

Answers

Answer:

this case tells us about some sort of pressures that accounts feel when financial statements are needed urgently

Explanation:

1) As for using low estimates, this step was wrong on her part. she should have been upfront in her estimates. for the items that she could not estimate there should have been an indication that such items were still under review, instead of doing what she did to give the financial estimate a good look. Using guesses or deliberately using low estimates was a bad idea, GAAP would never condone that.

She should have met with the president and let him know that finalization of the financial statements would not possible within the time frame that he has given. She could have also explain that such delays are normal and she would have given estimates of when the draft internal copy would be made available to him. such steps she took could have resulted in serious consequences for the company

2) I would not inflate or deflate the figures on purpose to make financial statements look better. If it is time to present the draft and final year-end financial statements I will have to tell the truth on the numbers and estimations used and also the reasons for that. i would have explained the constraints that i was facing. if i was still being pressurized by the president,  i would have no choice than to call it quits instead of going against the ethics of my profession, since there are both ethical and legal implications to not giving inaccurate financial statements.

Pitbull Construction Corporation applies IFRS, has equipment that it can reliably measure fair value of, and has chosen to apply the revaluation model to valuing this equipment on its accounting records. The carrying value of this equipment on Pitbull's books at the end of last year, December 31, 20X1, was $200,000. At the end of this year, December 31, 20X2, due to decreased demand for the equipment, especially when resold as used, the fair value is $150,000. For the year 20X2, in relation to this equipment for which Pitbull has chosen to apply the revaluation method, Pitbull must:_________

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

If there is decrease in fair value of an asset as is seen in the example with Pitbull corporation, we decrease asset revaluation reserve in the balance sheet by the value reduced $50000 here to recognise new carrying value of the asset and then debit the expenses of revaluation to the income statement or profit and loss account. If there was an increase in fair value, revaluation would add to retained earnings in balance sheet and income in income statement

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning versus outsourcing for each of these components (staff, computer servers, software licensing, and data storage)?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation below

Explanation:

Outsourcing simply involves the act of contracting our certain business activities and processes to third-party providers.  

Staff

When you outsource your staff, you can be able to save cots and use the freed capital for other things but the disadvantage would certainly be around the issue of confidentiality of business information.  

When you outsource computer servers, software licensing, and data storage, you would gain access to world-class capabilities because the third-party providers would likely provide them to meet their customers.  

There would also be shared risks as part of the benefits. The disadvantages could include loss of control. People who discourage outsourcing of these functions are of the opinion that third-party vendor cannot be able to match the level of responsiveness and levels of services that could be offered by an in-house team

Deal Leasing leased equipment to Hand Company on January 1, 2021. The leased equipment's book value is $420,000 with no estimated residual value at the end of its useful life. The remaining useful life of the leased equipment is 15 years. The lease payments were calculated to provide the lessor a 10% return. Ten annual lease payments of $60,000 are due at the beginning of each year beginning January 1, 2021. Both companies use the straight-line method in depreciation/amortization their assets.

Answers

Answer:

The requirements are missing, so I looked for a similar question. This is a financial lease since the PV of the lease payments represents 97% of the asset's value.

 

January 1, 2021, equipment leased from Deal leasing

Dr Right of use asset 405,541.20

    Cr Lease liability 405,541.20

the right of use asset = PV of lease payments = $60,000 x 6.75902 (PV annuity due, 10%, 10 periods) = $405,541.20

January 1, 2021, first lease payment

Dr Lease liability 60,000

    Cr Cash 60,000

December 31, 2021, depreciation expense on leased asset

Dr Depreciation expense 40,554.12

    Cr Accumulated depreciation 40,554.12

depreciation expense = $405,541.20 / 10 = $40,554.12

December 31, 2021, interest expense on asset lease

Dr Interest expense 34,554.12

    Cr Interest payable 34,554.12

interest expense = ($405,541.20 - $60,000) x 10% = $34,554.12  

On January 1, 20X8, L Corporation acquired all of the common stock of S Company for $300,000. On that date, S Company's identifiable net assets had a fair value of $250,000. The assets acquired in the purchase of S are considered to be a separate reporting unit of L Corporation. The carrying value of S Company's net assets at December 31, 20X8, is $310,000. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be 260,000. Determine the amount, if any, of impairment loss to be recognized at December 31, 20X8.

a. 40,000
b. 50,000
c. 10,000
d. 60,000

Answers

Answer:

b. 50,000

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of impairment loss is shown below:-

The Amount of impairment loss to be recognized at December 31, 20X8 is

= Net assets - Fair value of reporting unit

= $310,000 - $260,000

= $50,000

Therefore we applied the above formula to determine the amount of impairment loss to be recognized at December 31, 20X8.
