Answer:
Production Oriented or Mass Production Era.
Explanation:
This marketing era took place around the mid 1800s and lasted until the early 1920s. It was basically a result of the industrial revolution where mass production started and manufacturing costs started to decrease. Most businesses would produce only one or very few types of products, and most business people thought that if they were to manufacture something, someone would buy it. Since this type of mass production was something totally new, people had lots of products available and relatively cheap for the first time, and indeed most of the production was sold that way.
So in this case, you would need to find the present value (PV) of the monthly payments. With the information given, you would have a PV= 195,413.08, which is less than the lump sum payment. In this case, you would take the 1 time payment.
Another way to look at this is to calculate the future value (FV) of both payouts. For the lump sum payment, you would assume the same interest rate (6%) and at the end of the same 20 years period, your investment would be worth 662,040.90 while the monthly payment option would be worth 646,857.25
Answer:
The answer is $243,000
Explanation:
The inventory on July 8 immediately prior to the fire is the CLOSING INVENTORY.
To find this closing inventory, we need to find the gross profit first and then cost of sales.
To find gross profit:
Gross profit margin=gross profit ÷sales.
Gross profit margin is 20% or 0.2
Sales is $690,000
Therefore, gross profit is:
0.2 x $690,000
=$138,000
To find cost of sales:
Gross profit = sales - cost of sales.
Gross profit is $138,000
Sales is $690,000
Therefore, cost of sales is
$690,000 - $138,000
=$552,000.
And finally to get closing inventory:
Cost of sales = opening inventory + purchases - closing inventory.
Cost of sales = $552,000
Opening inventory = $140,000
Purchases = $655,000
Closing inventory = $140,000+$655,000-$552,000
=$243,000.
Answer:
there is no deadweight loss.
Explanation:
In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.
This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.
Generally, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;
1. Perfect information.
2. No barriers, it is typically free.
3. Equilibrium price and quantity.
4. Many buyers and sellers.
5. Homogeneous products.
Examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market.
Hence, if equilibrium is achieved in a competitive market then, there is no deadweight loss i.e a loss of economic efficiency due to a lack of balance in competing economical influences for goods or services.
