<u>Answer</u>: Certain brand names, such as Kleenex or Xerox, have become generic name.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Generic name is the term used to refer a product with its brand name rather than the product itself. Kleenex and Xerox are the brand names of the products. Xerox is photocopying product and Kleenex is the brand name for wet wipes. People commonly use the word Kleenex instead of tissues or wet wipes.
This process can be called as genericization and companies loose their trademarks due to these usage of names. These generic names have wide spread popularity.
Answer:
1) Flitcom Corp (Beta = 0.60)
2) Tobotics Inc. (s.d. = 11%)
Explanation:
1. Suppose all stocks in Ariel's portfolio were equally weighted. Which of these stocks would contribute the least market risk to the portfolio?
The indicator of the market risk is the Beta. It relates the variation of the price or value of the stock relative to the variation of the total stocks in the market.
The value of Beta indicates how risky is a stock relative to the risk of the market. A Beta =1 means it has the same systemic risk as the market. If Beta<1, the stock is less volatile than the market, and if Beta>1, it is more volatile than the market.
Then, the stock with less value of Beta will contribute the least risk to the portfolio.
This is the case of Flitcom Corp (Beta=0.60)
2. Suppose all stocks in the portfolio were equally weighted. Which of these stocks would have the least amount of stand-alone risk?
The stand-alone is reflected by the standard deviation. The less the standard deviation, the less risk of the stock (measured only the stock variability).
This is the case of Tobotics Inc. (s.d. = 11%)
Answer:
D. More Units may be sold - but total revenue will be less than it would be at the higher price
Explanation:
Marginal Revenue (MR) represents the additional revenue that can be obtained if sales of a product are increased by one unit.
MR= is change in Total Revenue/Change in Total Output Quantity
In this situation as envisaged by the Marketing Manager, a price cut will lead to an increase in revenue based on more (marginal) units of the product sold at a lower price. The challenge, however, is that this increase in income will not be enough to offset the decrease in revenue that will result as a result of the price cut.
In other words, the organisation is better off selling fewer products or units at its current price than sell more (marginal units) at a reduced price.
Answer:
Explanation:
Calculation of total loss:
Net loss 320,000
Preferred dividend [5000*8%*100] 40,000
Total loss 360,000
Calculation of shares:
Common shares 250,000
Additional common stock [36,000*7/12] 21,000
Total shares 271,000
Loss per share = 360,000/271,000 = $1.328
