Answer:

D. demographics

Explanation:

Demographics refers to statistical data that deals with the characteristics of a population. These characteristics include age, sex, income, marital status,gender, etc.

In the case of the question, the population of groups of older men who want performance and younger men who want style refer to demographics.

This is normal in any business as there are different people with different characteristics but that want a certain tye of product from the business. In business, socioeconomic characteristics are usually factors of demographics and these factors include; age, income, education level, marital status, etc.

I hope this helps.

A fixed asset with a five-year estimated useful life and no scrap value is sold at the end of the second year of its useful life
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

B) A gain would be less or a loss would be greater using straight-line depreciation.

Explanation:

In straight line method of depreciation there is a fixed amount of depreciation,  and in double declining method the rate is double of straight line method,

Let us take an example,

Cost of asset = $500,000

Selling price at end of 2nd year = $300,000

Straight line depreciation = $100,000 for each year i.e. $500,000/5

Double declining method rate = ($100,000/$500,000) \times 100 \times 2 = 40%

Therefore value at end of second year

Straight line = $500,000 - ($100,000 \times 2 ) = $300,000

Double Declining method = ($500,000 -40%) - 40% = $180,000

In case of sale at $300,000

Profit shall be

Straight line = $300,000 - $300,000 = 0

Double Declining = $300,000 - $180,000 = $120,000

Now, there will be more profit in double declining that is gain is less in straight line and losses would be greater in straight line thus statement B is correct.

sveta [45]

Answer:

The answer is $1,027.6 million

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of Sales(cost of goods sold)

Gross profit = $818.8 million

Sales of $1,846.4 million.

To find Cost of Sales, we rearrange the formula to now be:

Sales - Gross profit

$1,846.4 million - $818.8 million

=$1,027.6 million

Therefore, Skechers' Cost of sales for 2018 is $1,027.6 million

Suppose that an investor with a 10-year investment horizon is considering purchasing a 20-year 8% coupon bond selling for $900.
leonid [27]

Answer:

8.67%

Explanation:

PMT (Semi-annual coupon) = par value*coupon rate/2 = 1,000*8%/2 = 40

N (No of coupons paid) = 10*2 = 20

Rate (Semi-annual reinvestment rate) = 7%/2 = 3.5%

Future value of reinvested coupons = FV(PMT, N, Rate)

Future value of reinvested coupons = FV(40, 20, 3.5%)

Future value of reinvested coupons = $1,131.19

FV = 1,000

PMT (Semi-annual coupons) = 40

N (No of coupons pending) = 10*2 = 20

Rate (Semi-annual YTM) = 9%/2 = 4.5%

Price of the bond after 10 years = PV(FV, PMT, N, RATE)

Price of the bond after 10 years = PV(1000, 40, 20, 4.5%)

Price of the bond after 10 years = $934.96

Total amount after 10 years = Future value of reinvested coupons + Price of the bond after 10 years

Total amount after 10 years = $1,131.19 + $934.96

Total amount after 10 years = $2,066.15

Amount invested (Price of the bond now) = $900.

Total Annual Return = [(Total amount after 10 years / Amount invested)^(1/holding period)] -1

Total Annual Return = [($2,066.15/$900)^(1/10)] -1

Total Annual Return = [2.295722^0.1] - 1

Total Annual Return = 1.08665561792 - 1

Total Annual Return = 0.08665561792

Total Annual Return = 8.67%
