Ou have been hired as the new pricing manager for WCG, which sells cell phone plans to customers. You manage a team of pricing a

nalysts who present you with ideas for pricing strategy. While many of the ideas are good, there are some that you worry might not be legal under U.S. law. Review each of the six at-risk pricing strategies and determine the appropriate law or regulation to determine if the strategy is legal or illegal.
Many legal and ethical issues impact pricing decisions.

"A registered representative has a long-term client who works in a bank. The representative tells the client that he wants to bu
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

None

Explanation:

Before a bank decides on which interest rate placed on loans given to customers, it will have to be a general agreement between the board of directors in an Annual General Meeting (A.G.M). Or else stated otherwise which is quite rare, interest rates on loans and mortgages are based on a simultaneous agreement. When an interest rate is to be decided for a certain customer, his or her credit scores are evaluated to ascertain the loanee's ability to pay back the loan. When a loanee's credit scores are low, he or she tends to receive a high interest rate on loans and mortgages while when a loanee's credit scores are high, he or she tends to receive a low interest rate on loans and mortgages.

On the case of the client who works in a bank granting the registered representative a mortgage with lower interest rates, this cannot be possible because: first, the client's position in the bank was not clarified and secondly, the registered representative's credit scores will be the evaluation report used by the bank to grant that.

maria [59]

Answer:

Accepted and rejected

Explanation:

Since the internal rate of return is 13.09% and the WACC is 12.68%

As we can see that the internal rate of return is higher than the WACC as WACC is considered as the discount rate

So the project should be accepted

And, if CAPM is used

So, the expected rate of return is

If CAPM is used

Risk-free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium

= 2.9% + 1.42 × 8.1%

= 2.9% + 11.502%

= 14.40%

And, The Internal rate of return  = 13.09%

Since the internal rate of return is less than the expected rate of return therefore the project should be rejected
