Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
The net profit margin is
= Net income ÷ sales revenue
= $184,000 ÷ $574,000
= 32%
The asset turnover is
= Sales revenue ÷ average of assets
= $574,000 ÷ ($2,142,000 + $1,998,000) ÷ 2
= $574,000 ÷ $2,070,000
= 0.28 times
c. The return on assets is
= Net income ÷ average of assets
= $184,000 ÷ $2,070,000
= 0.089
= 8.89%

D. base an employee's salary on the number of task skills he or she possesses.
Explanation:
Pay for knowledge programme as the name implies, is when an employer renumerate an employee for learning or developing new skills/task on the job.
If an employee develop new skills while working and then get renumerated, this will make the employee get himself or herself acquainted with the company. In order words, the employee will go out of his way to improve his efficiency in terms of increase in productivity due to the new task skill gained.
In this reward system, the employer rewards the employee with payment increase for leaning new task and skills on the job which is beyond their regular activity.
A market segment is a subgroup of people or organizations that have one or more characteristics in common that cause them to have the same product needs. Everyone needs water to drink, but does everyone need bottled water? For companies to successfully reach their precise customer, they need to divide a market into similar and identifiable segments through market segmentation.
The main reason companies divide markets into identifiable groups is so that the marketing team can create a custom marketing mix for the specific group. For example, Farmer Joseph realized early on that not everyone would purchase his expensive organic produce. He did not want to exhaust his financial budget by advertising to the masses. Instead, he identified his target market and created a specific marketing plan to communicate effectively with his prime customers.
His target market consisted of females age 18-65, with an income of $50,000+, who have healthy eating habits and who are concerned about pesticides. His plan consisted of ad placement in local women's magazines, newspapers and also email blasts to a list that he formulated with age and income specifics. Lastly, he advertised with a local gym about his healthy produce. Marketers have numerous choices in how they can segment a market.
If the farmer had planned on targeting everyone, then the type of segmentation would have been called no market segmentation. The opposite type of segmentation would be if he decided to target based on every individual factor available. This would be called a fully segmented market. Other choices include segmenting just by gender, income, lifestyle, ethnicity, family life cycle, age group, or even a combination-type.
Companies will not survive if the marketing strategy is dependent upon targeting an entire mass market. The importance of market segmentation is that it allows a business to precisely reach a consumer with specific needs and wants. In the long run, this benefits the company because they are able to use their corporate resources more effectively and make better strategic marketing decisions.
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
Total assets. $240,000
Less total liabilities ($130,000)
$110,000
Less common stock ($24,000)
Retained earnings at end $86,0000
Less Retained earnings at the beginning ($29,000)
Addition to retained earnings $57,000
Add dividends $6,400
Net profit earned $63,400
Add expenses $94,000
Revenue. $157,400
Therefore, company's net profit margin expressed as a percentage = Net profit earned / Revenue
= (63,400/157,400) × 100
= 40%
