Answer: redesign its products to eliminate those features that might have market appeal, but would excessively increase production costs.

Explanation:

The main aim of every organization are typically cost minimization and profit maximization. If I wanted to advise a company on the kind of actions to take to perform value chain activities more cost effectively, I'll tell them to improve their supply chain efficiency as well as use economies of scale and effective utilization of its resources.

Therefore, redesigning its products to eliminate those features that might have market appeal, but would excessively increase production costs is wrong as this will only lead to increase in cost.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In a perfectly competitive market the sales revenue is based on pricing also. As the pricing policy also plays an important role in the marketing technique to attract customers.

As the quality served is generally the same in the market, there is no issue in that but when the price is reduced expected sales will increase and accordingly the expected revenue also increases.

As the sales is expected to increase the revenue will also increase accordingly, even though the price is reduced, due to increase in sales quantity the expected change shall not be same as that of the change in price.

Thus, the statement is False.

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

0.66

Explanation:

the fourfirm concentration ratio is the sum of the concentration ratio of the four largest firms in the industry.

The sales of the second largest firm = $35 million - ( $10 million + $4 million+ $2 million + $12 million ) = $7 million

concentration ratio of firm 1 = $10 million / $35 million = 0.29

concentration ratio of firm 2  = $7 million / $35 million = 0.2

concentration ratio of firm 3 = $4 million / $35 million = 0.11

concentration ratio of firm 4 = $2 million / $35 million = 0.06

Adding the ratios together = 0.66

Sonny's BBQ Company recently issued $85 par value preferred stock that pays an annual dividend of $9. Analysts estimate that the
Bond [772]

Answer:

Intrinsic value=$73.77

Explanation:

<em>The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset.</em>

<em> According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.</em>

Price = D/Kp

D- Dividend payable

Kp- cost of preferred stock

So will need to work out the cost of equity using CAPM

<em>The capital asset pricing model (CAPM)</em>: relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c  

This model is considered superior to DVM. Hence, we will use the CAPM

Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:  

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r) =? , Rf- 2.4%, Rm- 12.1% β- 1.01

E(r) = 2.4% + 1.23×(12.1- 2.4)%  = 12.20 %

Cost of preferred stock= 12.20 %

Using the dividend valuation model

Intrinsic value = 9/0.1220=73.77

Intrinsic value=$73.77
