Answer:

The answer is: A) In a successful purchase, every stage in the process has to happen.

Explanation:

Sometimes we as customers don´t have the time or are unable to follow all the stages in the consumer decision process. Many times it depends on what need we want to satisfy. For instance, if we are hungry or thirsty we might decide to eat at the first restaurant we find. It doesn´t mean we made a bad choice, it simply happened that way because we didn´t have time to research about all the restaurants in the area and then evaluate and decide which one was the best for us. Many daily purchases are part of our daily routine. Imagine how many hours we would spend at a grocery store if we had to follow every step of the process.

On the other hand, if I´m searching for a new house, I will follow steps one through five several times, over and over again until I finally decide which house to buy.

Gilmore, Inc., had equity of $145,000 at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, the company had total assets of $210

kkurt [141]

Answer:

a). Internal growth rate of the company=12.02%

b). Internal growth rate for beginning of period assets=14.71%

c). Internal growth rate for end of period total assets=10.16%

Explanation:

a). The internal growth rate of the company can be expressed as shown;

IGR=ROA×DR

where;

IGR=internal growth rate

ROA=return on asset=Net income/Total average assets

DR=dividend ratio=1-(dividend payment/net income)

In our case;

Return on asset=Net income/total average assets

Net income=$27,000

Total average assets=(Assets at the beginning of the year+assets at the end of the year)/2

Total average assets=(145,000+210,000)/2=$177,500

Return on asset=(27,000/177,500)×100=15.21%

Dividend ratio=1-(dividend payment/net income)=1-(5,800/27,000)

Dividend ratio=1-0.21=0.79

Internal growth rate=return on asset×dividend ratio

Internal growth rate=15.21%×0.79=12.0159%

Internal growth rate of the company=12.02%

b). Internal growth rate for beginning assets

Return on asset=Net income/total assets at the beginning of the year

Net income=$27,000

Total assets at the beginning of the year=145,000

Return on asset=(27,000/145,000)×100=18.62%

Dividend ratio=1-(dividend payment/net income)=1-(5,800/27,000)

Dividend ratio=1-0.21=0.79

Internal growth rate=return on asset×dividend ratio

Internal growth rate=18.62%×0.79=14.71%

Internal growth rate for beginning of period assets=14.71%

c). Internal growth rate for end of period total assets

Return on asset=Net income/total assets at the beginning of the year

Net income=$27,000

Total assets at the end of the year=210,000

Return on asset=(27,000/210,000)×100=12.86%

Dividend ratio=1-(dividend payment/net income)=1-(5,800/27,000)

Dividend ratio=1-0.21=0.79

Internal growth rate=return on asset×dividend ratio

Internal growth rate=12.86%×0.79=10.16%

Internal growth rate for end of period total assets=10.16%

A. Suppose there is a surge in consumer confidence, creating an increase in aggregate demand in the economy. The Federal Reserve

Mrac [35]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

For a, first we calculate the credit multiplier of the economy,

Credit multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio

Credit multiplier = 1 / 0.25 = 4

This means that any change in money supply will be 4 times as much in the economy, hence to induce a change of $120 billion, the Fed will decrease the money supply by 120/4 = $30 billion. This will increase the interest rates just enough to stabilize aggregate demand.

For b, we again start by calculating the credit multiplier.

Credit multiplier = 1/0.10 = 10

Since the Fed want to stimulate investment, it needs to use an expansionary monetary policy.

The Fed thus increases the money supply by 150/10 = $15 billion.

This will have the total effect of 150 billion on the whole thus achieving the Fed's objectives.

Hope that helps.
