Answer:

The correct answer is a combination of factors and is explained below.

Explanation:

On the one hand, the marketing area inside the companies tend to be left apart or not given much of the attention that they actual need inside the organization and that is<u> due to the fact that the business' owner or even the managers sometimes thinks that there is a major importance in the finances of the enterprise or even in the production and its current quality</u>.

On the other hand, the marketing function inside an organization should be taking care as much as the other functions due to the fact that it has a very huge importance in the selling process of the company and therefore in its number of sales during an amount of time. Moreover, those companies that do not focus so much effort in the marketing will probably have a great product with a good quality but <u>they would not acquire a big number of sales because they would not know how to sell the product and to whom</u>, furthermore they would <u>find themselves selling much less that does companies that have a simple product but a good marketing mix</u>.

Naily [24]

Answer:

department store

Explanation:

A department store is a type of retailer that offers a wide range of diverse products. Each product group is classified into a department, thus the name "department store". When customers buy products, they usually check out near the exit of the whole department store, although there are some check-out counters in each department. Also, customer service is always present, mostly in the form of numerous sales clerks providing a helping hand.

They can include almost any range of products: toiletries, furniture, home decor, clothes, toys, hardware... Some famous examples are: Le Bon Marché in Paris, Selfridges in the UK, Macy's in the USA...

On the other hand, a <em>discount store</em> usually offers a broad product range, low prices, but little to none customer service. <em>Specialty stores</em> have a narrow target group as they offer a limited assortment.

rodikova [14]

The correct answer is installment credit. The explanation is below.

Installment credit allows you to purchase an item and then pay for it in installments. The reason that this would be the best option for you is that you do not have the money now to make the purchase, but you are able to make smaller monthly payments in order to purchase a computer.

Installment credit is better than revolving credit for new borrowers. Revolving credit would allow you to charge additional purchases on your revolving credit account. The installment plan only finances one item, rather than like a credit card, which is how revolving credit works. You would not choose non-installment credit because this would require you to make this payment all at once in a short period of time. It would not allow you to spread the payments out over time.

Two investment opportunities are as follows:________. Alt A Alt B First Cost 200 100 Uniform annual benefit 32 27 End of useful
Talja [164]

Answer:

Since the 4.34 NPV of Alt A is greater than the 2.35 NPV of Alt B, it therefore implies that Alt A should be selected.

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question as follows:

                                                          Alt A              Alt B

First Cost                                           200                 100

Uniform annual benefit                       32                   27

End of useful life salvage value         20                    0

Useful life, in years                              10                     5

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

a. Calculation of NPV of Alt A

First Cost = 200

PV of uniform annual benefit = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) ……………………. (2)

Where;

P = uniform annual benefit = 32

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 10

Note: The formula for calculating the present value of ordinary annuity is being used here to calculate the Present Value (PV) of uniform annual benefit.

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV of uniform annual benefit = 32 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^10) / 0.10) = 32 * 6.14456710570468 = 196.63

PV of Salvage value = FV / (1 + r)^n ..................... (2)

Where;

FV = End of useful life salvage value = 20

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 10

Note: The normal formula for calculating the present value (PV) is being used here to calculate the PV of Salvage value

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PV of Salvage value = 20 / (1 + 0.10)^10 = 20 / 2.5937424601 = 7.71

Net present value (NPV) of Alt .A = PV of uniform annual benefit + PV of Salvage value - First cost = 196.63 + 7.71 - 200 = 4.34

b. Calculation of NPV of Alt B

First Cost = 100

PV of uniform annual benefit = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) ……………………. (3)

Where;

P = uniform annual benefit = 27

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 5

Note: The formula for calculating the present value of ordinary annuity is also being used here to calculate the Present Value (PV) of uniform annual benefit.

Substitute the values into equation (3) to have:

PV of uniform annual benefit = 27 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^5) / 0.10) = 27 * 3.79078676940845 = 102.35

NPV of Alt B = PV of uniform annual benefit - First cost = 102.35 – 100 = 2.35

c. Decision

Since the 4.34 NPV of Alt A is greater than the 2.35 NPV of Alt B, it therefore implies that Alt A should be selected.
