McDonald's is using Demographic Segmentation.

By appealing to the different needs and wants of various ethnic groups, McDonald's is using the Demographic Segmentation.

Demographics is the study of data related to people in a population. Demographic Segmentation is the segmentation of market/people/population according to race, age, religion, gender, income, education, etc. So By keeping in mind, the needs of these different groups, McDonald's uses the approach to better serve their customers.

By appealing to the different needs/wants of various ethnic groups, McDonald's is using demographic segmentation.

When using demographic segmentation you are changing the way you advertise and what you carry (often times) to appeal to the consumer market you are in. In Japan, McDonald's carries some American menu items but also items that are a 'norm' in their country. By doing this, McDonald's is able to services different demographics.

Pepsi [2]

The correct answer is B) Compute gross margin per sales point.

Caroline is conducting a share point analysis for Bloomingdale's. First, she estimates total industry sales by compiling a list of all department stores and their sales for the previous year. Next, she estimates Bloomingdale's market share within the industry. To find the value of one share point, Caroline must <em>compute the gross margin per sales point.</em>

Gross margin is part of the income statement that firms or industries need to elaborate every year. This metric indicates a detailed description of a company's revenues, expenses, and profit. When preparing a budget, gross margin defines the limits a company must take into account. That is why Caroline must pay close attention to the calculation and computing.

Suppose the transfers of pillars to the Lantern Division cut into sales to outside customers by 14,000 units. Further suppose th

Sloan [31]

Complete question:

The Pillar Division of the Gothic Building Company produces basic pillars which can be sold to outside customers or sold to the Lantern Division of the Gothic Company. Last year, the Lantern Division bought all of its 25,000 pillars from Pillar at $2.00 each. The following data are available for last year's activities of the Pillar Division:

Capacity in units 320,000 pillars

Selling price per pillar to outside customers $2.05

Variable costs per pillar $1.20

Fixed costs, total $155,000

The total fixed costs would be the same for all the alternatives considered below.

Suppose the transfers of pillars to the Lantern Division cut into sales to outside customers by 20,000 units. Further suppose that an outside supplier is willing to provide the Lantern Division with basic pillars at $1.92 each. If the Lantern Division had chosen to buy all of its pillars from the outside supplier instead of the Pillar Division, the change in net operating income for the company as a whole would have been:

$2,000 decrease.

$14,000 increase.

$1,000 decrease.

$18,000 decrease.

I tried my best to find the question but was unable to find the exact question, instead I found a symmetry question and its solution is as under:

Answer:

Option D. $18,000 decrease

Explanation:

The decrease in the net operating income that would occur due to purchase of all of the pillars from the outside supplier would cost the additional cost to the company which is opportunity cost per pillar and is calculated by using the following formula:

Opportunity Cost = Variable Cost - Purchasing Cost

Here, the variable cost to manufacture the pillar within the factory is $1.2 per pillar whereas the purchasing cost of pillars from outside supplier is $1.92 per pillar.

By putting values, we have:

Opportunity Cost = $1.2 - $1.92 = $0.72

Now for purchasing 25,000 units from the supplier, the total opportunity cost would be:

Total Opportunity Cost = $0.72 * 25,000 Units Purchased from Outside Supplier = - $18,000

The minus sign shows the decrease in the net operating income.

Garrett has just purchased a beer distributorship. He wants to increase the visibility of his firm in local markets, but he know

kvasek [131]

The first thing Garrett should do is to "identify issues that need to be addressed."

<u>Explanation:</u>

The selling, distribution and promotion of alcoholic beverages includes consumer protection information, health hazards, and environmental factors. And Garrett would just get that from the appropriate stakeholders such as regulatory bodies. Garrett must therefore first collect information and classify the interested parties.

Garret should also go through all the legal and mandatory channels which are needed to be crossed before entering into such a beer distributorship business program. For an instance like asking license number, GST number, affidavit regarding any future consequence which may result into some loss, etc.
