Answer: This question lacks the following answers:
a. market share pricing
b. profit maximization
c. demand orientation
d. sales maximization
<u>The correct answer is b)</u>
Explanation:
The practice of giving away free things (mobile accessories) can be good after the launch of a new product range, or even when the company itself is entirely new. However, it is not feasible in the long run, as the company <u>does not generate profit</u> from giving products for free.
Giving discounts is definitely more lucrative, as the discount itself provides enough of an incentive for the customer to buy the accessory. On the company side, <em>profit </em>will be generated (although decreased with the discount, but still generated compared to giving free things).
Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.
Cost of equity:
= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)
At the beginning, when there was no debt,
WACC = cost of equity = 12 %
Levered cost of equity:
= 12% + ( 12% - 6%) × 0.5
= 15%
Therefore, Rearden's levered cost of equity would be closest to 15%.

Answer:
- False
- True
Explanation:
1. Social security benefits are increased each year in proportion to an increase in CPI which measures inflation. This CPI is based on a market basket that most people use. If the social security benefits that the elderly get rises as the price of the basket rises then Social Security would not provide a decrease in their standard of living but would rather leave it unchanged so this answer is <u>FALSE.</u>
2. If Healthcare is said to be rising faster than inflation and elderly people consume more health care then that means that Social security benefits which are based on a inflation are not capturing the rise in living expenses for the elderly appropriately. This means that old people might be worse off. This is therefore <u>TRUE. </u>
