Answer:

e. incomplete market and product protocol.

Explanation:

A market and product protocol refers to the activity that is carried before the development of a new product begins in order to give a clear definition of how would the new product satisfy specific wants and needs of customers.

If this protocol is not complete, the product will not be able to satisfy the needs of consumer on critical factors and the product may fail in test marketing.

Therefore, the reason for this product failure was incomplete market and product protocol. Also, an appropriate way of describing the intent meaning of "cidal" in the brand name which could mean killing oneself or capable of killing bacteria was not put in place.

Answer:

E) incomplete market and product protocol.

Explanation:

Kimberly-Clark's Avert Virucidal failed in test marketing, because the researchers in charge of product development  failed to clearly define how it would satisfy consumers' wants and needs. The idea itself wasn't bad, but the concept testing was poorly done. During concept testing, the marketing researchers must determine if the consumers understand the product's idea or not, and obviously that didn't happen. The product does satisfy consumers' needs and if the marketing process was properly done, they would have probably accepted the product.

Universal Laser, Inc., just paid a dividend of $3.10 on its stock. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be a constant 6 p
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Ans. The current price of the stock is $56.82

Explanation:

Hi, well, the problem here is that we have different discount rates, in other words the required rate of return for the stock changes several times, therefore we are going to break this problem in 3 parts, or bring to present value all the cash flows in 3 steps. Let´s start with the value of the dividends.

We have to use the following formula.

Dn=D_{(n-1)} *(1+g)

Where, D(n-1) is last dividend and Dn is the dividend that we are looking for, for example, D1 = 3.10*(1+0.06)=3.29, D2=3.29*(1+0.06)=3.48, and so forth. The amount to pay on dividends per share is,

D1=3.29; D2=3.48; D3=3.69; D4=3.91; D5=4.15; D6=4.40; D(7)=4.66

Since the first 3 years are to be discounted at a 15%, this is how the formula should look like.

PV(1)=\frac{D1}{(1+r(1))^{1} } +\frac{D2}{(1+r(1))^{2} } +\frac{D3}{(1+r(1))^{3} }

PV(1)=\frac{3.29}{(1+0.15)^{1} } +\frac{3.48}{(1+0.15)^{2} } +\frac{3.69}{(1+0.15)^{3} }=7.92

Now, for the second part, we have to bring all cash flows to year 3 at r(2)=13% and then bring it to present value at r(1)=15%. This is because we have 2 different discount rates, this is as follows.

PV(2)=(\frac{D4}{(1+r(2))^{1} } +\frac{D5}{(1+r(2))^{2} } +\frac{D6}{(1+r(2))^{3} })*\frac{1}{((1+r(1)^{3} }

PV(2)=(\frac{3.91}{(1+0.13)^{1} } +\frac{4.15}{(1+0.13)^{2} } +\frac{4.40}{(1+0.13)^{3} })*\frac{1}{(1+0.15)^{3} } =6.42

Finally, we need to bring all the future cash flows from year 7 and beyond, notice that we need to use the return rate r(3) to bring everything to year 6, then we have to bring it to year 3 and then to present value, everything as follows.

PV(3)=(\frac{D7}{(r(3)-g)} )*(\frac{1}{(1+r(2))^{3} } )*(\frac{1}{(1+r(1))^{3} } )

PV(3)=(\frac{4.66}{(0.11-0.06)} )*(\frac{1}{(1+0.13)^{3} } )*(\frac{1}{(1+0.15)^{3} } )=42.48

So, the price of the stock is PV(1) + PV(2) + PV(3), or:

Price=7.92+6.42+42.48=56.82

Price= $56.82/share

Best of luck.

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

D) The broker-dealer must be registered in State B in order to contact the client while she is in medical school in State B

Explanation:

Since the client will live in state B for an extended period of time, at least 4 years if she completes medical school, the broker-dealer must be registered in state B if he wishes to continue doing business with her.

If the client would have only gone to state B for a few months, then the broker could have still worked with her without registering in state B since the client could be considered on a vacation trip.
