Answer:

As the price rises, the quantity demanded decreases and the quantity supplied increases.

Explanation:

When a shortage occurs, demand for a product is high and is not being matched by supply (supply is low).

So to bring demand down and increase supply, we need to increase the price.

According to the law of demand and increase in price results in a decrease in demand.

The law of supply states that when price increases there will be an increase in supply, making more goods available and eliminating shortage.

This is illustrated in the attached diagram.

Answer:

D) Growth in earnings per share averaging 15% or better annually for the next five years

Explanation:

First of all, objectives must be well defined and measurable. That is why increasing profitability is a good idea but not a very good strategic objective, since a 0.00001% growth in profits will still comply with it. The same applies with growing market share.

Improving product quality will help improve total sales but it is not a financial objective.

The only financial objective that is precise and measurable is option D, which sets the goal of increasing earnings per share at least 15% every year.

Leni [432]

Answer:

The amount of cash received on January 24 is $3332

Explanation:

The amount of cash received will be for the net amount of receivable after adjusting for sales returns and the sales discount as the payment is received within the discount period of 10 days as stated by the term 2/10 which means a 2% discount if payment is received within 10 days of sale.

The accounts receivable at January 15 after sale were $4500. Out of this amount, $1100 of returns are made. Thus, the remaining balance of accounts receivables after return is $4500 - $1100 = $3400

The discount received will be = 3400 * 2% = $68

Thus, the cash received on January 24 will be 3400 - 68 = $3332

Anni [7]

Answer:

req 1)

Plan A

0.42 x 150 + 0.17 x 70 = 74.9

Plan B

0.52 x 150 + 0.15 x 70 = 88.5

Plan C $80

req 2)

from 0 to 190 minutes Plan A

from 191 and beyond Plan C

req 3)

the proportion should be 1/6 daycalls and 5/6 evenings

Explanation:

150 day calls

70 minutes evening calls

Plan A

0.42 x 150 + 0.17 x 70 = 74.9

Plan B

0.52 x 150 + 0.15 x 70 = 88.5

Plan C $80

2) A will be preferable to B as it has the lower cost

now at some point C will be better as the cost is a flat rate

80 dollars / 0.42 per minute = 190.47

3) 0.42X + 0.17Y = 0.52X + 0.15Y

a minute of daycall is 10 cent higher in plan B

while a minute of evening call is 2 cent lower

thus, to balance there was to be 5 times more evening call than day times:

1:5 1 + 5 = 6

the proportion should be 1/6 daycalls and 5/6 evenings
