Answer:

3.3%

Explanation:

The yearly rate of return is calculated by taking the amount of money gained or lost at the end of the year and dividing it by the initial investment at the beginning of the year.

DATA

Future value = $25,000

Present value = $18,000

Time = 10 years

Formula:

Annual return = $(\frac{futurevalue}{presentvalue}) ^{1/time} -1$

Annual return = $(\frac{25000}{18000}) ^{1/10} -1$

Annal return = 3.3%

Answer:

The cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is $10,200.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is , we have to make the following calculations.

First, we have to calculate the Annual preferred dividend = (2800*50*6.5%) = $9,100

Hence, First year preferred dividend = $9,100-$8,000 = $1,100

Finally, if we make $1,100+$9,100 = $10,200 and so this will be the cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders.

Answer:

b. bait pricing

Explanation:

Bait pricing strategy is one that is aimed at attracting customers by presenting a price that is lower than the actual value of a product. Usually the product is limited in quantity and when buyers come in they are convinced to buy something else.

This is considered an illegal means of marketing.

I'm the given instance when the customer got to the dealership the salesperson can't find that particular car on the lot, saying maybe it was sold this morning before he got in. The salesperson offers a higher-priced car.

This is bait pricing strategy.

(Inspired by the events in the Montreal cement market in 1966.) You are the CEO of Independent Cement (IC), and are considering

pychu [463]

Answer:

1) C.C. is currently selling at $ 12. So, if I.C.'s price is equal to C.C.'s it can sell to all the 400 customers. Hence, IC should keep the price at $12. The CC's price after price determination by IC will be $ 11 as doing so, CC will be able to sell to all 400 customers. Expected profits of IC will be as follows:

Sales =12 *400

Less : Marginal cost = 3*400

Expected profits = $ 3600

(2) If IC builds a small plant, then it can sell upto its capacity i.e. 100 units to 100 customers, if its price is no greater than IC. So IC can keep its price at $ 12. Expected profits of IC = 100 *12 less marginal cost i.e. 3*100 = $ 900.

As a result of above, CC will keep its price either 11 or 12.

Case 1( If CC's price is 11)

Expected profits = sales- marginal cost = 400* 11 - Marginal cost i.e. 4 * 400= 2800

Case 2 ( If CC's price is 12)

Expected profits = sales- marginal cost = 300* 12- Marginal cost i.e. 4* 300 =2400

So, CC's price would be $ 11 as it leads to maximisation of his profits

(3) The choice of size of plant will be dependent upon the profits and is driven by profit maximisation factor.

Case 1 ( If small plant is chosen)

Sales = 100 * 12

Less : Marginal cost = 100 * 3

Profits = $ 900

Case 2 ( If large plant is chosen, we should keep our price at 11 as CC would always keep the price at 11 , not 12 as it maximises its profit at 11)

Sales = 400 * 11

Less marginal cost : 3 * 400

Profits = 3200

Hence, large plant should be chosen
