Buying goods and services not for their intrinsic value but for the purpose of impressing others is called Conspicuous consumption.

What is Conspicuous consumption?

Conspicuous consumption is the act of acquiring things or services specifically with the intention of flaunting one's wealth. When publicly displayed products and services are too expensive for other people in a person's class, conspicuous consumption is a way to demonstrate one's social position. Although it is frequently associated with the wealthy, this type of consumerism can occur in any income class.

Conspicuous consumption is characterized by buying products that are solely intended to serve as symbols of wealth, such as apparel with luxury brand labels, cutting-edge equipment and toys, and automobiles.

guapka [62]

Answer:

D) 5182 glass vases

Explanation:

<em>Contribution per glass vases:</em>

$4.5 selling price - $ 1.75 variable cost= 2.75

<em>Operating income:</em>

29,000 units x $ 2.75 - $ 8,500 = $71,250 operating income

<em>Target income is to obtain a 20% increase:</em>

71,250 x (1 + 20%) = 85,500 target income:

<em>units needed for target income:</em>

(85,500 target income + 8,500 fixed cost) / 2.75 contribution per unit= 34.181,81

aditional glass vases needed for target income:

34,182 - 29,000 = 5,182

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Annual deposit = $4100

Explanation:

Annual deposit = $4100

Number of years for retirement = 30 years

Future value of money = $1000000

Interest rate = 12%

Now use the below formula to find the annuity amount.

Annual deposit = Future value (A/F, r, n)

Annual deposit = 1000000 (A/F, 12%, 30)

Annual deposit = 1000000(0.0041)

Annual deposit = $4100

A man has $245,000 invested in three properties. One earns 12%, one 10% and one 8%. His annual income from the properties is $23
astraxan [27]

Answer:

for 8% investment = $110000

for 12% investment = $55000

for 10% investment =  $80000

annual income for each property is

x amount for 8% investment = $8800

y amount for 12% investment = $6600

z amount for 10% investment = $8000

Explanation:

Given data

investment = $245000

rate 1 = 12%

rate 2 = 10%

rate 3 = 8%

annual income = $23400

rate = 8%  twice that invested at 12%

to find out

invested in each property and  the annual income from each property

solution

let us consider x amount for 8% investment

and consider y amount for 12% investment

and consider z amount for 10% investment

from question we say,  8% is twice that invested at 12%

x = 2y      ........1

and

x + y + z = 245000      .............2

put 1 in equation 2

2y + y + z = 245000  

z = 245000 - 3y            ...................3

and we can say that

0.08x + 0.12y + 0.10z = 23400              ...........................4

put equation 1 and 3 in 4

0.08(2y) + 0.12y + 0.10( 245000 - 3y ) = 23400

0.16y + 0.12y - 0.3y = -1100

0.02y = 1100

y = $55000

so x = 2(y) = 2(5500) = $110000

and z = 245000 - 3(55000) = $80000

so annual income for each property is

x amount for 8% investment = 0.08 × 110000 = $8800

y amount for 12% investment = 0.12 × 55000 = $6600

z amount for 10% investment = 0.10 × 80000 = $8000
