The correct answer is B) Compute gross margin per sales point.
Caroline is conducting a share point analysis for Bloomingdale's. First, she estimates total industry sales by compiling a list of all department stores and their sales for the previous year. Next, she estimates Bloomingdale's market share within the industry. To find the value of one share point, Caroline must <em>compute the gross margin per sales point.</em>
Gross margin is part of the income statement that firms or industries need to elaborate every year. This metric indicates a detailed description of a company's revenues, expenses, and profit. When preparing a budget, gross margin defines the limits a company must take into account. That is why Caroline must pay close attention to the calculation and computing.
Original price = $500
Assume that the tax rate is 8%
Cost of the TV plus tax = 500*1.08 = $540
Worth of the 25% coupon = 0.25*540 = $135
Reduced price = 540 - 135 = $405
The cost of the TV with a coupon for 25% off excluding tax is $405.
Answer: $405
Answer:
affect nominal but not real variables. This view that money is ultimately neutral is consistent with classical theory.
Explanation:
This idea is held by classical economists (not by most economists) since they believe in the quantitative theory of money:
MV = PQ
- M = quantity of money
- V = velocity of money
- P = price level
- Q = quantity of goods
Classical theory was abandoned 90 years ago (according to classical theory, recessions were not possible and couldn't exist, but then the Great Depression came and the impossible became true). Neo-classical or monetarists appeared in the 1960s, and lately, neo-neo-classical appeared with George W. Bush. The problem with the quantitative theory is that it needs the following things to be true in order to hold, and empirical evidence over the last 90 years showed that none of them are true:
- the velocity of money has to be constant (AND IT IS NOT CONSTANT)
- real output is independent on money supply (NOT TRUE)
- causation goes from money to prices (MODERN ECONOMISTS BELIEVE IT IS THE OTHER WAY)
IF they spend more than they can afford
If they cannot pay back their loans at all
If they cannot pay back their loans on time

Rent control is an example of a "price ceiling", it sets the price of rent "below" the equilibrium price and results in a "shortage" of apartments.
Answer is "D".
Rent control is a type of value control that confines the sum a property proprietor can charge for leasing a home or other land. Rent control goes about as a price ceiling by keeping rents either from being charged over a specific level or from expanding at a rate higher than a predetermined percentage.
