The Ascent, a mountain bicycle manufacturer, has been in the bicycle industry for a year now. The CEO wishes to better the compa

ny. He starts by looking at the sales records of the year that they have been in business and notices that the company's sales have been declining at a steady pace for the past six months and that at present they are selling only half as many bicycles as they want to. In an attempt to increase sales, he either wants to bring down the prices of his bicycles or expand the company by opening a new branch in another area. The CEO shares his views with the sales manager and finance managers. Together they decide that reducing the prices would definitely increase sales, although the profits would come down. They also determine that opening a new branch would only increase expenses. They conclude that they will reduce the prices of the bicycles. The plan is implemented and the CEO keeps a record of the sales every month to make sure the change is effective.Which of the following steps in formal planning process is the CEO performing when he debates between opening a new branch and reducing the prices?
a. engaging in situational analysis
b. monitoring and controlling

Answer: e. generating alternative goals and plans.

Explanation:

The step in formal planning process is the CEO performing when he debates between opening a new branch and reducing the prices is referred to as generating alternative goals and plans.

Here, the CEO wants to increase the sales of the company and in an attempt to do that he's considering different alternatives in order to know and decide which one will be best for the company to undertake. This means he is generating alternative goals and plans.

Options A-D are wrong as the CEO isn't monitoring, controlling or implementing any plan. Option E is the right answer.

masha68 [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Current price is

= D1 ÷ (Required return - Growth rate)

= ($1.20 × 1.04 ÷ (0.1 - 0.04)

= $20.8

b. Now the price in three year is

P3 = Current price × (1 + Growth Rate)^3

= $20.8 × (1.04)^3

= $23.40

c. For price in 10 year it is

P10 = Current price × (1 + Growth Rate)^10

= $20.80 × (1.04)^10

= $30.79

We simply applied the above formula

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

$56,000

Explanation:

Given the above information, we will calculate first the total cash flow.

Total cash flow = Opening cash receivable + Sales - Ending cash receivables

= $196,000 + $880,000 - $226,000

= $850,000

Ending cash balance = Opening cash balance + Total cash flow - Cash disbursement

= $146,000 + $850,000 - $940,000

= $56,000

The drama club is selling tickets to its play.
alexdok [17]
a) Four inequalities

- Variables:

number of adult tickets = a

number of student tickets = s

- An adult ticket costs $15 and a student ticket costs $11<span>

=> sale = 15a +</span><span> 11s

- The auditorium will seat 300 ticket-holders =>

(1) a + s ≤ 300

- The drama club wants to collect at least $3630 from ticket sale =>

(2) 15a + 11 s ≥ 3630

(3)  a ≥ 0

(4)  s ≥ 0 </span>


Graph

- Draw the s-axis, and highlight the positive part (s ≥ 0)

- Draw the a- axis, and highlight the positive part (a ≥ 0)

- Draw the line <span> a + s = 300 ; use the points (0,300) and (300, 0) which are the extremes of the line

- Shadow the region below the line (a + s ≤ 300)</span>

- Draw the line 15 a + 11 s = 3630; use the points (0, 242) and (330,0) which are the extrems of the line

- Shadow the region above the line (15a + 11s ≥ 3630)

The solution is the region that you shadowed twice: a triangle, located between the two inclined lines, at the left of the shadowed region.

b) List three combination of tickets that satisfy the inequalities

Choose some points that are in the solution region. For example:

1) s = 10, a = 250

2) s = 40, a = 240

3) s = 0, a = 300
