Answer:
The answer is: A) In a successful purchase, every stage in the process has to happen.
Explanation:
Sometimes we as customers don´t have the time or are unable to follow all the stages in the consumer decision process. Many times it depends on what need we want to satisfy. For instance, if we are hungry or thirsty we might decide to eat at the first restaurant we find. It doesn´t mean we made a bad choice, it simply happened that way because we didn´t have time to research about all the restaurants in the area and then evaluate and decide which one was the best for us. Many daily purchases are part of our daily routine. Imagine how many hours we would spend at a grocery store if we had to follow every step of the process.
On the other hand, if I´m searching for a new house, I will follow steps one through five several times, over and over again until I finally decide which house to buy.
Answer:
1) In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?
-
No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for many years.
All you have to do is analyze the interest rates charged by the credit card companies and it is really difficult for any investment to match those interest rates.
2) Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, how much should you pay on each card?
I would start with the cards that charge the highest interest rates. I would pay the full balance of the department store card and the gasoline card = $600 + $300 = $900
Since I have $600 left, I would then pay the minimum payments for the cards that charge the least interest rates. I would pay $40 to Discover card and $60 to VISA.
The remaining $500 would be used to pay MasterCard 1 card and lower its balance.

See Below
Explanation:
Expected value is the sum of the products of the probability and payoff of each.
<u>Wager 1:</u>
probability of heads and tails, both is 0.5
Win = 440
Loose = 110
So,
Expected Value = 440(0.5) + (-110)(0.5) = 220 - 55 = $165
<u>Wager 2:</u>
Similar to wager 1
Win = 770
Loose = 220
So,
Expected value = 770(0.5) + (-220)(0.5) = 385 - 110 = $275
2nd wager is better, in this sense.
Answer:
$0.9
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Earnings after taxes = $108,750
Interest expense for the year = $20,000
Preferred dividends paid = $18,750
Common dividends paid = $30,000
Common stock outstanding = 100,000 shares
Now,
Earning available on common stock
= Earnings after taxes - Preferred dividends paid
= $108,750 - $18,750
= $90,000
Therefore,
Earnings per share on the common stock
= Earning available on common stock ÷ Common stock outstanding
= $90,000 ÷ 100,000
= $0.9
Answer:
Income +/- inventory adjustment
2015: 138,000 - 23,000 = 115,000
2016: 254,000 + 61,000 = 315,000
2017: 168,000 + 17,000 = 185,000
Explanation:
<u>Inventory Identity:</u>
Beginning + Purchases = Ending + COGS
As the mistake is on the right side it compensates by the other component which is COGS
<u><em>When the inventory is overstated</em></u> this means COGS is understated.
We didn't record the cost of good sold thefore our gross profit is higher making the net income higher.
<u><em>When the inventory is understated</em></u> this means COGS is overstated.
We record more cost of goods sold thefore our gross profit is lower making the net income fewer as well.
