Answer: Segmentation by usage

Explanation: Segmentation by usage splits customers according to how often they use a product. Using segmentation by usage, customers can be classified into non - users, who don't use the product at all, light and medium users, who can range from little usage of the product to average use of the product, and heavy users, who mostly use these products.

From thr first paragraph it is clear that usage segmentation is used to separate the user's into different classes based on their usage, and identify which class to target when it comes to sales. At Estelle Cosmetics Company, it was deduced that of this company's total sales, less than 7% of this market are heavy users. These users purchase nearly 71% of the company's products. This company will probably focus their marketing efforts on the heavy users, as they contribute to the majority of sales within their company.

Today you earn a salary of $28,500. What will be your annual salary fifteen years from
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

$47.747.44

Explanation:

After 14 years, the salary will be equivalent to the future value of $28,500 at 3.5% compound interest.

The formula for calculating compound interest is as follows.

FV = PV × (1+r)n

where FV = Future Value

PV = Present Value... 28,500

r = annual interest rate.... 3.5%

n = number of periods...15

Fv = $28,500 x ( 1+ 3.5/100)15

Fv = $28,500  x ( 1+0.035)15

Fv =$28,500 x 1. 67534883

Fv =$47.747.44

The following two graphs show the markets for smartphones in Sweden and Norway. Use the graphs to answer the questions that foll
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Assume there are no transportation costs. With trade, the price of $22.5 brings about balance in exports and imports. At this price, 600 smartphones are traded. With trade, Sweden produces 900 smartphones and consumes 300 smartphones, and Norway produces 300 smartphones and consumes 900 smartphones.

Now suppose the per-unit transportation cost from Sweden to Norway is $5. With trade, the transportation cost changes the price of smartphones in Sweden to $25 and in Norway to $25. Sweden will produce 800 smartphones and consume 400 smartphones, thus exporting 400 smartphones. Norway will produce 400 smartphones and consume 800 smartphones, thus importing 400 smartphones.

Explanation:

With no transportation costs, Sweden shall export smartphones and Norway shall import smartphones because the market price is lower in Sweden than in Norway.

The demand and supply functions for smartphones in Sweden, derived from the given values, are:

Q_{D} = 1200 - 40P\\

Q_{S} = 40P

The export supply (ES) equation is:

ES = Q_{S} - Q_{D}

ES = 40P - (1200 - 40P)

ES = 80P - 1200

The demand and supply functions for smartphones in Norway, derived from the given values, are:

Q_{D} = 1800 - 40P

Q_{S} = 40P - 600

The import demand (ID) equation is:

ID = Q_{D} - Q_{S}

ID = 1800 - 40P - (40P - 600)

ID = 2400 - 80P

The equilibrium price and quantity traded is determined where ES = ID.

80P - 1200 = 2400 - 80P

This simplifies to P = 22.5

Q = 2400 - 80(22.5) = 600

Next, a transaction cost of $5 per unit is imposed from Sweden to Norway. This changes the ES function as follows.

New ES = 80(P - 5) - 1200

New ES = 80P - 1600

The new equilibrium is where New ES = MD.

80P - 1600 = 2400 - 80P

This simplifies to P = 25

Q = 80(25) - 1600 = 400

Evans Ltd. is now considering the possibility of offering a lifetime membership option to its subscribers. Under this proposal,
Ahat [919]

Answer: $329.75

Explanation:

The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,

= 78 - 38

= 40 years

Evans Ltd  average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.

I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.

The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.

The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,

= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)

= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)

= $329.752

= $329.75

This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.

A company earned $7,605 in net income for October. Its net sales for October were $19,500. Its profit margin is:
vivado [14]

Answer: 39%

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that company earned $7,605 in net income for October and that its net sales for October were $19,500.

To calculate its profit margin, we have to divide the net income by the net sales. This will be:

= 7605/19500

= 0.39

= 39%

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

<em>Hi, your question is incomplete, I tried to look for it online but I could not find it. Here is an explanation on the steps to solve the problem.</em>

Step 1 : Determine the Total Materials Cost

Total Materials Cost

Opening WIP cost                                      $310,000

Costs added during the period                  $40500

Total                                                           $350,500

Step 2 : Total Equivalent units for materials

Equivalent units for materials = Completed units + Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory.

Step 3 : Unit equivalent cost for materials

Unit equivalent cost = Total Cost ÷ Total equivalent units

Step 4 : ending work in process inventory cost

Ending work in process inventory = Unit equivalent cost x equivalent units in ending work in process with respect to materials
