What type of account typically has very high liquidity, low or no interest, and low minimum balance?

To increase the popularity of its new range of smartphones, gizmopro inc., a mobile phone manufacturer, offered several accessor

ikadub [295]

Answer: This question lacks the following answers:

a. market share pricing

b. profit maximization

c. demand orientation

d. sales maximization

The correct answer is b)

Explanation:

The practice of giving away free things (mobile accessories) can be good after the launch of a new product range, or even when the company itself is entirely new. However, it is not feasible in the long run, as the company does not generate profit from giving products for free.

Giving discounts is definitely more lucrative, as the discount itself provides enough of an incentive for the customer to buy the accessory. On the company side, profit will be generated (although decreased with the discount, but still generated compared to giving free things).

Assume that the short-run cost and demand data given in the tables below confront a monopolistic competitor selling a given prod

REY [17]

Profit is maximized when Q = 4 and P = $40, with maximum profit = $90.

Explanation:

(a) (i) Marginal cost (MC) = Change in Total cost (TC) by Change in output (Q)

(ii) Total revenue (TR) = Price (P) into Q

(iii) Marginal revenue (MR) = Change in TR by Change in Q

(iv) Profit = TR - TC

Therefore:

Q TC MC P TR MR PROFIT

0 25 60 0 -25

1 40 15 55 55 55 15

2 45 5 50 100 45 55

3 55 10 45 135 35 80

4 70 15 40 160 25 90

5 90 20 35 175 15 85

6 115 25 30 180 5 65

7 145 30 25 175 -5 30

8 180 35 20 160 -15 -20

9 220 40 15 135 -25 -85

10 265 45 10 100 -35 -165

When Q = 4, MR = $25 and MC = $15, so MR > MC. When Q = 5, MR = $15 and MC = $20, so MR < MC. Therefore,

Profit is maximized when Q = 4 and P = $40, with maximum profit = $90.

(b) In the long run, new firms will enter the market by being attracted by positive short run profit. Therefore in long run, demand for individual firm will decrease, price for individual firm will decrease and profit will decrease until each existing firm earns zero economic profit.

Your medical group wants to expand by starting a new venture, owning and operating a pharmacy. In order to increase the chances

kolezko [41]

Explanation:

The opening of any business is subject to potential risks, so it is necessary for new entrepreneurs to maintain a proactive stance so that organizational practices and processes are effectively aligned to prevent risks. That's why it's important to know the market you're going to be in, as well as risk and opportunity management to guide your business to success.

Some potential risks in opening a pharmacy would be:

Product Risk: The products that will be marketed must be carefully selected and in accordance with the quality and safety parameters, especially when it comes to the sale of medicines, which presents greater care in marketing.

Market risk: A company only progresses if it has market to operate. A new business should consider whether it will be able to deliver a quality product with customer benefits compared to its competitors.

Supplier Risk: Choosing good suppliers is essential to organizational success. In the pharmaceutical industry it is necessary to choose good and reliable laboratories so that there is no risk of obtaining unsafe medicines for human health.

But in addition to risks, opportunities must also be considered when opening a new business. In this case they can be:

Market Opportunity: A pharmacy is a business that not only sells medicines, there may be increased profitability by selling non-durable goods such as food, beverages and beauty products, widely consumed by various types of consumers.

Reputation Opportunity: Because it is a pharmacy formed by a medical group, the reputation and image to the consumer can be enhanced, which creates greater security in choosing to buy a drug in your establishment.

Branding opportunity: A company that markets private label products ensures benefits such as consumer confidence and increased profitability by marketing low cost manufacturing products to the company.
