When Frito-Lay introduced its Stax brand of potato chips. These chips were meant to compete directly against Pringles. The inten

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

B, penetration pricing

Explanation:

Penetration pricing is a pricing strategy in which a manufacturer sets the price of its product low for a start so as to have a wide reach and acceptability in the market.

This pricing strategy is meant to make customers ditch their usual product for the new product, thereby having the new product attracting customers to itself.

Ultimately, penetration pricing increases market share of the new product manufacturer as it gains a lot of customers within the shortest possible time.

Penetration helps to discourage new product entrance into the market thus giving the product a large/high stock turnover throughout the product's distribution channel.

In the above question, Frito lay introduced its chips at a low price of 69cents for a period of time (first few months, say 3 or 4 months for example) in order to gain market share quickly.

Date Description Debit Credit

March, 31 Payroll Tax expense $‭2,320.5‬0

FICA Social Security taxes $1,054

FICA Medicare taxes $ 246.50

FUTA taxes $ 102

SUTA taxes $ 918

<u>Working </u>

FICA Social Security taxes = 1,700 * 10 * 6.2% = $‭1,054‬

FICA Medicare taxes = 1,700 * 10 * 1.45% = $‭246.5‬0

FUTA Taxes = 1,700 * 10 * 0.6% = $‭102‬

SUTA Taxes = 1,700 * 10 * 5.4% = $‭918‬

Payroll Tax expense = 1,054 + 246.50 + 102 + 918 = $‭2,320.5‬0

You have been given $100 to start a checking account. Considering the four P's discussed in the module, go online to research an

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The four Ps happens to be the four significant factors that come into the vicinity when certain service or the good is being marketed with the public as the buyer. And the four Ps are product, price, promotion and the place. We need to select the bank which is nearest to us, and about which we have heard a lot and are confirmed about good service. The $100s checking account is not going to print interest for us, but we need 24 x 7 service as its a sort of current account, and we need to do the daily transaction through it. And hence the bank should provide all the time good service, and most probably 24 x 7 service. And this defines their product. Also, they should charge the least service charge, and that is the price. The bank which best fit according to above 4 p's, is the bank I will choose.

Suppose that a portfolio has a beta of 1.15. Over the period of one year, the portfolio had a return of 12.4% with a standard de

Darina [25.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

Given:

Weighted average β = 1.15

Average return (r) = 12.4%

Risk free return (Rf) = 1.2%

Market return (Rm) = 10.2%

Standard deviation (SD) = 16.2%

Computation of Jensen's α :

Jensen's α = r - [Rf + β(Rm - Rf)]

Jensen's α = 12.4% - [1.2% + 1.15(10.2% - 1.2%)]

Jensen's α = 12.4% - [1.2% + 10.35%]

Jensen's α = 12.4% - 11.55%

Jensen's α = 0.85%

Computation of Treynor's index :

Treynor's index (Ratio) = (r - Rf) / β

Treynor's index (Ratio) = (12.4% - 1.2%) / 1.15

Treynor's index (Ratio) = 11.2% / 1.15

Treynor's index (Ratio) = 9.73913043%

Treynor's index (Ratio) = 9.74% (Approx)

Computation of Sharpe's index :

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = (r - Rf) / SD

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = (12.4% - 1.2%) / 16.2%

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = 11.2% / 16.2%

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = 0.69 13%
