Answer:
The answer is: Place
Explanation:
The four elements of the marketing mix (4 P´s) are:
- Price
- Product
- Place
- Promotion
Place (or distribution) refers to the point of sale.
Before Amazon, retailers would pay high prices for the right place to set up a store, "location, location, location" was everything. But internet sales shattered that scheme, just ask Sears or JC Penny about it.
With internet sales you can sell your product anywhere (all around the world) and many times you don´t even need a physical store. All you need are good logistics.
Answer:
b. False
Explanation:
In a competitive environment, pricing strategy is one of the strategies to ensure efficiency and profitability. But lowering of prices at the expense of deterioration in the quality of product offerings cannot be a recommended strategy.
The four competitive strategies specified by Michael Porter are namely, Cost Leadership, Differentiation, Cost Focus and Differentiation focus.
Under Cost leadership, a firm strives to offer it's products at the lowest cost and be the cost leader in an industry.
Differentiation refers to adding unique attributes and values to the products which differentiates such products from those of the competitors.
Cost focus refers to cost leadership when targeted at a particular marketing segment and similarly, differentiation focus is differentiation when applied to a specific marketing segment.
A firm cannot focus at price at the expense of quality of it's offerings. Thus, keeping prices down isn't all which matters.
Answer:
$3,135 unfavorable
$9,937.50 unfavorable
Explanation:
The formula and the computation of the direct labor price and efficiency variance is shown below:
Direct labor price variance
= (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual hours of production
= ($15- $145,600 ÷ 9,500 hours ) × 9,500 labor hour worked
= ($15 - $15.33) × 9,500 labor hour worked
= $3,135 unfavorable
Labor efficiency variance is
= (Actual production - standard production) × standard rate per unit
= (6,600 units - 9,500 hours ÷ 1.6 hours) × $15
= (6,600 units - 5,937.0) × $15
= $9,937.50 unfavorable
Since the actual hours is more than the standard one so it would lead to unfavorable variance
Answer:
(a) $170,000
(b) $80,000
Explanation:
(a) The amount and character of Luke's recognized gain or loss on the building:
= (Fair market value - cost to built) + Depreciation expense
= ($325,000 - $200,000) + $45,000
= $170,000
(b) The amount and character of Luke's recognized gain or loss on Land:
= (Fair market value - Purchasing cost
= (210,000 - 130,000)
= $80,000
