Answer:

The answer is option c "  secretaries are a rich source of information about a prospect and are important for successful sales calls."

Explanation:

Brandi needs to understand this as a tool of effective sales.

Answer:

Secretary are rich source of information about a prospect and important for successful sales call.

Explanation:

Brandi's supervisor is only trying to establish a relationship and also a general knowledge base about the prospect from the secretary because they tend to be rich In Information and well detailed about their boss, this information the sales supervisor is gathering will come handy when he finally meets the prospects as that might be a leveling ground whereby he can launch his sales idea to the prospect.

The Secretary also have the to do list of the boss per day and help plan schedule over time so they can always chip in the sales representative in for subsequent meet up and that can only happen if a great connection was established in the first meeting.

Refer to the information in Homework 2 Question 2: Ross derives utility from only two goods, chocolates (x) and donuts (y). His
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The total effect is 35 out of which income effect is 15 and substitution effect is 20.

Explanation:

Ross has an income of $1440.

The price of chocolates (Px) is $10 and donuts (Py) is $9.

The utility function is given as

U = 0.5xy

Before price rise, Budget line:

1440 = 10x + 9y,

Consumption is optimal when

\frac{MUx }{ MUy} = \frac{Px}{Py} = \frac{10}{9} = 1.11

0.5y / 0.5x= 1.11

y = 1.11x

Substituting in budget line,

1440 = 10x + 9y = 10x + 9(1.11x)

1440 = 10x + 9.99x

19.99x = 1440

x = 72

y = 1.11x = 79.92 = 80

After price rise,

Py = 16.

New budget line:

1440 = 10x + 16y,

Price ratio

\frac{Px}{Py } =  /

=\frac{10}{16}

= 0.625

And,

\frac{MUx}{Muy} = \frac{0.5y}{0.5x} = 0.625

\frac{y}{x}  = 0.625

y = 0.625x

Substituting in new budget line: 1440 = 10x + 16y

1440 = 10x + 16(0.625)x

1440 = 20x

X = 72

Y = 0.625x = 45

So, total effect (TE)

= Decrease in consumption of y

= 80 - 45

= 35

With previous (x, y) bundle,

U = 0.5xy

U = 0.5 x 72 x 80

U = 2880

Keeping utility level the same & substituting,

y = 0.625x in utility function:

28800 = 0.5xy

2880 = 0.5\ \times\ 0.625x

2880 = 0.3125x^{2}

x^{2}  = \frac{2880}{0.3125}

x^{2} = 9216

x = \sqrt{9216}

x = 96

Now, putting the value of x,

y = 0.625\ \times\ x

y = 0.625\ \times\ 96

y = 60

Substitution effect (SE)

= 80 - 60

= 20

Income effect

= TE - SE

= 35 - 20

= 15

Seth has a monthly income of $2,500. He has a $400 car payment and owes $225 on electronic equipment. What is the percentage of
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Given:

Seth has a monthly income of $2,500

He has a $400 car payment

He owes $225 on electronic equipment.

Question asked:

What is the percentage of Seth's income he is paying out in debt payments?

Solution:

He has a car payment = $400

He owes on electronic equipment = $225

<em>These two items are treated as debt for Seth as these items are used first then pay for it.</em>

Total debt =  $400 +  $225

Total debt = $625

Now, we will find percentage of Seth's income he is paying out in debt payments,

Percentage =\frac{Total \ monthly \ debt}{Total \ monthly\  income}

                  =\frac{625}{2500} \times100\\\\ =\frac{62500}{2500} \\\\ =25

Therefore, 25% of Seth's income he is paying out in debt payments.
