Answer:

a). I would adopt the increase in market share in the suburbs by 15 % since the number of final suburbs dwellers who will use my product is (0.0805 x) which is  greater than final city dwellers' (0.075 x)

b). The total percentage of people who are city dwellers who own your product before the new sales drive=46.15%

Explanation:

a). We can make the following expressions;

Total number of both city dwellers and suburb dwellers=x

City dwellers=30% of x=(30/100)×x=0.3 x

Suburb dweller=70% of x=(70/100)×x=0.7 x

Total number of city dwellers who use your product initially=(20/100)×0.3 x=0.06 x

Total number of suburb dwellers who use your product initially=(10/100)×0.7 x=0.07 x

If we increase the market share in the suburbs by 15%

Number of suburb dwellers=0.07 x+(15/100)×0.07 x

Number of suburb dwellers=(0.07 x+0.0105 x)=0.0805 x

If we increase market share in the city by 25%

Number of city dwellers=0.06 x+(25/100)×0.06 x

Number of city dwellers=(0.06 x+0.015 x)=0.075 x

I would adopt the increase in market share in the suburbs by 15 % since the number of final suburbs dwellers who will use my product is (0.0805 x) which is  greater than final city dwellers' (0.075 x)

b). Percentage of city dwellers that own your product

Percentage=(Initial number of city dwellers/Total number of people)×100

Percentage=0.06 x/(0.06 x+0.07 x)=(0.06 x/0.13 x)×100=46.15%

The total percentage of people who are city dwellers who own your product before the new sales drive=46.15%

postal express is considering the purchase of a new sorting machine. the sales quote consists of quarterly payments of $37,200 f
Cloud [144]

The five-year sales quote includes quarterly payments of $37,200 at a 7.6% interest rate. The price of the acquisition is $614,184.40.

<h3>Do you mean by PMT payment?</h3>

PMT stands for "payment," therefore the name of the function. A PMT method can estimate your monthly payments, for instance, if you are looking for a $30,000 car loan with a two-year term and an annual interest rate of 7%.

<h3>In the fv formula, what is PMT?</h3>

PV = present value, and FV=PMT(1+i)((1+i)N - 1)/i Future Value (FV) Payment per period (PMT) I = percent per period interest rate N is the number of cycles.

Quarterly Payment = PMT = $37,400

Interest Rates = r = 7.6% per year = 0.076 per year = 0.076 / 4 = 0.019 per quarter

Number of years = 5 years

Number of Payment = n = 5 years x 4 quarters per year = 20 quarters

PV = PMT x (1 - [1 / (1 +r)^n]) / r

PV = $37,200 x (1 - [1 / (1 +0.019)^20]) / 0.019

PV = $614,184.40

motikmotik

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $410,000

Costs = $284,000

Depreciation Expense =  $510,000 × 0.1920]

                                     = $97,920

Therefore,

Operating Cash Flow:

= [(Sales - Variable Costs - Fixed Costs) × (1 - Tax Rate)] + [Depreciation × Tax Rate]

= [($410,000 - 284,000) × (1 - 0.35)] + [$97,920 × 0.35]

= [$126,000 × 0.65] + [$97,920 × 0.35]

= $81,900 + $34,272

= $1,16,172

Organizations in the United States such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Nation
insens350 [35]

Answer: B. classification is a political issue—these groups fear that their political clout will decline if their numbers go down

Explanation:

These organisations fear that their numbers will go down because should a multiracial category be added, they will have less people classified as the races their organisation caters for. More numbers in an organisation means greater power and influence and we've seen this when large trade unions hold entire companies hostage simply because they have the numbers.

A great example would be the Ikwere people of Southern Nigeria. They share a common ancestry with the Igbos of Eastern Nigeria and generally have very similar customs. Even the language is similar and they had always been considered Igbo until after the Civil War in Nigeria broke out with the Igbos being the main rebels. With the Civil war concluded, the Federal Government officially recognized the Ikwere as an ethic group independent of the Igbo. The Ikwere occupied crude oil rich areas and this recognition therefore robbed the Igbo of valuable lands and political clout.

Whilst not strictly the same as these organisations losing people to the multiracial category, it shows what can happen to an organisation should their numbers decrease
