Answer:

C) Automatic merchandising sales are impersonal.

Explanation:

Since 93% of the company's customers state that they value the high quality of the firm's customer service system, if you eliminate it, many of them might feel that the company does not care about them and that the whole company's quality is decreasing. A large portion of the company's sales are made through a toll free number and replacing a human salesperson with a machine is not always the best idea.

Many times it depends on what type of products you sell and who is your target market. Some products do not need a lot of explaining, but others do.  By eliminating customer service and replacing it with an automated service, you might save money but it will negatively affect the whole company.

Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

Automatic Merchandising  refers to the way in which the selling of merchandise is carried out through the use of vending machines.

Automatic Merchandising can also referred to as automatic selling and it saves the company from incurring cost of labor, involving a third party directly and so on.

However, this method might be the wrong strategy to be used in the company Janice works for. This is due to the fact that the company's customers are still loyal to the company because of the quality customer service. The quality customer service that the company offers will therefore, cease to exist if the company switched to Automatic Merchandising, because sales through this method are impersonal.

For a sale, the original retail price of a particular shirt and the original retail price of a particular hat were both reduced
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Discount = original price × discount fraction

Discounted price = original price - discount

Discount fraction = 20%

= 20/100

A.

Original price of shirt = $x

Original price of hat = $(x + 10)

Discounted price of shirt = $x - $0.2x

= $0.8x

Discounted price of hat = $(x + 10)

- 0.2$(x + 10)

= $0.8 × (x + 10)

Difference of discounted price of hat to shirt = 0.8(x + 10) - 0.8x

= $8

B.

Original price of shirt = $x

Original price of hat = $ 1.5 × x

Discounted price of shirt = $x - $0.2x

= $0.8x

Discounted price of hat = $ 1.5 × x

- 0.2 × $ 1.5 × x

= $ 1.2x

Difference of discounted price of hat to shirt = 1.2x - 0.8x

= $ 0.4x

nexus9112 [7]
An impaired driver refers to someone who is under the influence of alcohol and is driving. If you are sharing the road with such a person, it is safest to drive behind such a person. You can take further action by parking beside the road, note down the vehicle's number and then call the appropriate patrol or emergency to inform them about the driver. This will ensure that such a driver is gotten off the highway.

A firm has negotiated a seasoned equity offer that will provide the firm with $1.68 million in net proceeds. The underwriting sp
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is $36.27

Explanation:

Amount of net proceeds is $1,680,000. Number of shares to be issued is 5,000. Underwriters charge the spread at 7.35%.

Hence, 100% of the amount should cover $1,680,000 and the underwriter charges. Hence, the total amount required to be raised is more than $1,680,000.

Step 1: Calculate the amount to be raised.

Amount Needed = Amount to be raised by selling shares x (1 - Underwriters' Charge)

1,680,000 = Amount to be raised by selling shares x (1 – 0.0735)

1,680,000 = Amount to be raised by selling shares x 0.9265

Amount to be raised by selling shares = 1,680,000 / 0.9265

Amount to be raised by selling shares = 1,813,275.77

Step 2: Calculate the offer price.

Offer Price = Amount to be raised by selling Equity / Number of shares need to be sold

Offer Price = 1,813,275.77 / 50,000

Offer Price =$36.27

Therefore, the correct answer is $36.27
