I guess the correct answer is price discrimination, Robinson-Patman Act
As a result of Hurricane Charley, the Green Mountain Lumber Co. decides to charge all Home Depots in Florida $25 per sheet of plywood while all Home Depots outside of Florida pay only $10 per sheet of plywood. The Green Mountain Lumber Co. can be charged with price discrimination, which is illegal under the Robinson-Patman Act.
Price discrimination is the act of charging different consumers different prices for the same product.
The Robinson-Patman Act (1936) makes it unlawful to practice price discrimination, where the effect may substantially lessen competition or help to create a monopoly
Answer:
b. 3.70 percent
Explanation:
Expected rate of return of a stock, given probabilities, is calculated by summing up the product of probability of each state occurring by the expected return of the stock should that happen.
Expected rate of return = SUM (probability *return)
Boom;(probability* return) = (0.15* 0.10) = 0.015 or 1.5%
Normal ;(probability* return) = (0.70* 0.04) = 0.028 or 2.8%
Recession ; (probability* return) = (0.15* -0.04) = -0.006 or -0.6%
Next, sum up the expected return for each state of the economy to find the expected rate of return on this stock;
= 1.5% + 2.8% -0.6%
= 3.7%
Therefore, the correct answer is choice B.
Answer:
The profit margin earned if each unit requires two machine-hours is 25%
Explanation:
For computing the profit margin, first, we have to compute the estimated overhead rate per unit which is shown below:
Estimated Overhead rate = (Estimated manufacturing overhead costs) ÷ (estimated machine hours)
= ($240,000) ÷ (40,000 machine hours)
= $6
Now the profit per margin would equal to
= Selling price per unit - direct cost per unit - overhead cost per unit × number of required machine hours
= $20 - $3 - $6 × 2
= $5
Now the profit margin would equal to
= (Profit per unit) ÷ (selling price per unit) × 00
= ($5 ÷ $20) × 100
= 25%
Answer:
D) Growth in earnings per share averaging 15% or better annually for the next five years
Explanation:
First of all, objectives must be well defined and measurable. That is why increasing profitability is a good idea but not a very good strategic objective, since a 0.00001% growth in profits will still comply with it. The same applies with growing market share.
Improving product quality will help improve total sales but it is not a financial objective.
The only financial objective that is precise and measurable is option D, which sets the goal of increasing earnings per share at least 15% every year.
