We have to make a system of equations:
x + y = 7;  where x stays for pounds of Kenyan coffee, and y stays for pounds of Sri Lankan coffee. And: 3.50 * x + 5.60 * y = 33.95 ( total cost ).
From the 1st equation: x = 7 - y. We have to substitute it into the 2nd equation:
3.50 * ( 7 - y ) + 5.60 * y = 33.95
24.50 - 3.50 y + 5.60 y = 33.95
5.60 y - 3.50 y = 33.95 - 24.50
2.10 y = 9.45
y = 9.45 : 2.10
y = 4.5 lb;  x = 7 - 4.5 = 2.5 lb.
Answer: 2.5 lb of Kenyan coffee and 4.5 lb of Sri Lankan.

Service, repair work, and accessories may be important considerations in a consumer's decision to purchase a particular shopping
xenn [34]

Answer:

True (1)

Explanation:

In deciding whether to buy a particular product, it is important to consider  below pertinent issues :

Serviceability : questions need to  be asked whether the product can be serviced regularly to keep it in usable condition and possible cost of servicing must as well  be considered.

Repairability  : Seller must be asked if the product is repairable in case it is faulty.

Accessories : Availability of accessories in the market must be confirmed from the seller in case we need to replace any part.

Failure to sort out above  issues before buying  may result in wasting of money at the end of the day even though product might have been bought  at a cheaper lock-in price.

While it sounds reasonable that companies should focus on making the products it knows how to make really well, one downside of
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Customer may not want the product which the company is making well.

Explanation:

It is not necessary that market needs those products which the company is producing perfectly. It cannot enter into product differentiation and cannot meet customer demands and needs of specific or altered products. The company can achieve specialization and can be a niche player in the market but also on the other hand company’s business is limited to only few products at which it is perfect. It cannot allow customization to its products.

Problem 7-5 Coupon Rates [LO2] Gabriele Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with eight years to maturity
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

5.32%

Explanation:

The computation of the coupon rate on the bonds is shown below:

As we know that

Current price = Annual coupon × Present value of annuity factor(6.1%,8 ) + $1,000 × Present value of discounting factor(6.1%,8)

$952 = Annual coupon × 6.18529143 + $1,000 × 0.622697222

Annual coupon is

= ($952 - 622.697222) ÷ 6.18529143

= $53.24

Now

Coupon rate is

= Annual coupon ÷ Face value

= $53.24 ÷ $1,000

= 5.32%

Working notes:

1. Present value of annuity is

= Annuity × [1 - (1 + interest rate)^-time period] ÷ rate

= Annual coupon × [1 - (1.061)^-8] ÷ 0.061

= Annual coupon × 6.18529143

And,

2.Present value of discounting factor is

= $1,000 ÷ 1.061^8

= $1000 × 0.622697222
