Answer and Explanation:
I will go through each and every option explaining the reasons and what option would be the best:
The (a) part says 'difference in wages will eventually disappear since a haircut is a homogeneous good' - This is not true because even though it is an homogeneous product, some customers do have a strong preference for barbers who are not going bald. Therefore, they know their worth and they would want to capitalize on that and get paid just a bit more than bald barbers.
The (b) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will be able to charge a higher price for a haircut to those consumers who have a strong preference for barbers with hair'. - If the barbershop charges higher price for barbers that have hair then the customers will prefer bald barbers as the questions mentions that there is high competition and since it is an homogeneous, customers would be willing to save money and get their haircut from some other barber.
The (c) part says 'barbershops that hire bald barbers will always be much more profitable' - Not necessarily. The reason is that some customers have a strong preference for barbers who are not bald and therefore, that would help barbershops who have barbers with hair to be a bit more profitable as some additional customers would want their services.
The (d) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will always be much more profitable' - This is the best option and the reason for it is because some customers have a strong preference for barbers with hair and that would help the barbershop to earn more. They would have the customers who already indifferent to whoever cuts their hair and in addition to that, they would also have the customers who have their preference.
Hence the answer is D.

What is a PreQualification in Mortgage Processing
Because most persons who are interested in buying a home do not have hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash to purchase the home of their dreams, the concept of mortgage is to approach a lender who will then advance the needed sum for the purchase and then the borrower will pay the advanced sum over some time (most times up to 30 years) at an interest rate.
A PreQualification is a process through which the lender evaluates the creditworthiness of the borrower and also decide the amount of loan the borrower is entitled to. This is done through the financial documents and records made available to the lender by the borrower
One important takeaway from a prequalification is that it is an approximation of what a borrower is entitled to base solely on the information given to the lender. It is, therefore, an approximation which can be less or more when the official application for the loan is submitted.
As stated in the question, getting a prequalification helps Matt to identify and understand the areas of problems and credit report errors that may arise and then he can use the prequalification information to attend to these errors and ensure a proper application is submitted that will allow him to maximise the amount of loan that can be made available to him.
Once Matt has corrected errors and identified problems that may arise on his mortgage application, he then gathers the relevant document and goes for the first formal process in mortgage processing which is the preapproval.
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
<em>Total Product offer </em>is every aspect of a product which the customer evaluates before buying.
From strategic marketing viewpoint, the customer may evaluate the product on both the tangible and intangible attributes.
An example of this is the iPhone by Apple. On tangible level, the product itself, the packaging and others are tangible attributes that a customer may evaluate. On intangible level, the brand name, perceived benefits, convenience, purchase services, and many other factors are part of the iPhone as the intangible attributes that the customer will evaluate.
As a marketer, one should think and talk in the language of customers- let it be from either tangible or intangible point of view.

Answer:
The annuity will cost him $963,212.95.-
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $75,000
Interest rate= 0.0525
n= 20
First, we need to calculate the final value. We will use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}
A= annual cash flow
FV= {75,000*[(1.0525^20) - 1]/0.0525} + {[75,000*(1.0525^20)] - 75,000}
FV= 2,546,491.88 + 133,690.82= $2,680,182.70
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 2,680,182.70/(1.0525^20)
PV= $963,212.95
