Answer:

C) buy 100 SPX 2500 Puts

Explanation:

SPX stock is based on the Standard and Poor's stock index, so if the investor is worried about a market decline, if he purchases put options and the marker declines, he/she will actually earn money. Each SPX 2500 contract covers approximately $250,000 of portfolio value, so if the investor purchases 10 put options then the whole portfolio would be covered.

Answer:

Cheeses from England.

Explanation:

First, let us define what Marketing Mix is:

  • This refers to the number of strategies a company employs to promote its goods and services in the market. The four Ps of the marketing mix include Product, Price, Place and Promotion.

The goal of a marketing strategy is to create awareness among the target audience.

Feedback and surveys are ways in which a company informs its marketing mix strategy. Therefore, if it has been determined from the customer feedback from company surveys and cheese tasting that the Product the customers prefer is Cheese from England, then that is what should be produced and promoted.

It cannot be over emphasized that companies are in business because of the customers, so their opinion takes precedence, as the saying goes, customer is always right. Therefore, if the need of the customer is not met, the company will make no profits.

The company president and product director will have to do what the customer wants.
