Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The new customer retention rate is
(a) the day above 3 days from order to delivery
= 3.5 - 3
= 0.5 days
And,
The reduction in customer retention rate is
= 0.5 × 1%
= 0.5%
errors above three per month is
= 6 - 3
= 3
The reduction in customer retention rate is
= 3 × 1.5%
= 4.5%
So, the new customer retention rate is
= 60% - 0.5% - 4.5%
= 55%
(b) The total reduction in customer retention rate is
= 0.5 + 4.5
= 5.0%
The reduction in market share is
= 5% × 0.5
= 2.5%
Now
New market share is
= 21.4% - 2.5%
= 18.9%
Answer:
This is a form of artificial monopoly.
Explanation:
In artificial monopoly a large firm exists with smaller firms in the same market. The large firm does not have a comparative advantage in production efficiency bit still drives the competition out of business.
Large firms use restrictive measures that prevents new form from entering the market. The other type of monopoly is the natural monopoly.

Answer:
(b) 1440
Explanation:
As the coupon rate of 8% is greater than the yield to maturity (YTM) of 6% annually, the bond is selling at a premium. Hence, the bond will be called at the earliest i.e. 15 years.
Coupon = Call Price * Semi-annual coupon rate = X * [0.08 / 2] = X * 0.04
Yield to call = 6% annually = 3% semi-annually
Time = 15 years * 2 = 30
We know that,
Current Price of bond = Coupon * [1 - (1 + YTC)-call date] / YTC + Call Price / (1 + YTC)call date
- 1,722.25 = [X * 0.04] * [1 - (1 + 0.03)-30] / 0.03 + [X / (1 + 0.03)30]
- 1,722.25 = [X * 0.04] * 19.60 + [X * 0.41]
- 1,722.25 = X * [(0.04 * 19.60) + 0.41]
- X = 1,722.25 / 1.194
-
X=$ 1,442.42 \approx $ 1,440
