Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: clear financial goals and expectations.
Explanation:
To begin with, before a new product is developed a company must follow a precise protocol in which the marketing mix plan is already established and therefore once that the company states the 4Ps of their marketing mix, it establishes the features of the product including characteristics of what it will be and do; the target audience including the costumers' preferences, needs and wants; the distribution channels and the promotion strategy.
To continue, <u><em>the protocol must establishes clear financial goals and expectations</em></u> in order to know how much is available to spend and how much of time will it take to create the product and to obtain the return of investment as well. Therefore, once that the marketing mix is established, the company needs to have in mind their expectations and expenditures.
Answer:
The ABC overhead for a Deluxe kayak will be $170.93
Explanation:
We are going to divide the overhead cost over the cost driver of each activity.
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-&Overhead&Total&Rate\\fabric&246,000&10,000&24.6\\assembly&144,000&32,000&4.5\\setup&110,000&15&7,333.33\\\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D-%26Overhead%26Total%26Rate%5C%5Cfabric%26246%2C000%2610%2C000%2624.6%5C%5Cassembly%26144%2C000%2632%2C000%264.5%5C%5Csetup%26110%2C000%2615%267%2C333.33%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Now we apply the rate to Deluxe Kayak:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-&Rate&Deluxe&Overhead\\fabric&24.6&10,000&246,000\\assembly&4.5&24,000&108,000\\setup&7,333.33&10&73,333.33\\Total&-&-&427,333.33\\\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D-%26Rate%26Deluxe%26Overhead%5C%5Cfabric%2624.6%2610%2C000%26246%2C000%5C%5Cassembly%264.5%2624%2C000%26108%2C000%5C%5Csetup%267%2C333.33%2610%2673%2C333.33%5C%5CTotal%26-%26-%26427%2C333.33%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Finally we divide the overhead for Deluxe between the units produced
427,333.33/ 2,500 = 170.933 = 170.93
Answer:
$1,138.92
Explanation:
Current bond price can be calculated present value (PV) of cash flows formula below:
Current price or PV of bond = C{[1 - (1 + i)^-n] ÷ i} + {M × (1 + i)^-n} ...... (1)
Where:
Face value = $1,000
r = coupon rate = 7.2% annually = (7.2% ÷ 2) semiannually = 3.6% semiannually
C = Amount of semiannual interest payment = Face value × r
C = $1,000 × 3.6% = $36
n = number of payment periods remaining = (12 - 1) × 2 = 22
i = YTM = 5.5% annually = (5.5% ÷ 2) semiannually = 2.75% semiannually = 0.0275 semiannually
M = value at maturity = face value = $1,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
PV of bond = 36{[1 - (1 + 0.0275)^-22] ÷ 0.0275} + {1,000 × (1 + 0.0275)^-22}
PV of bond = $1,138.92.
Therefore, the current bond price is $1,138.92.
Answer:
Discouraged; are not
Marginally attached; are not
Employed; are
Explanation:
Those workers who have had a job in past but are currently unemployed and are not currently looking for work because they were not able to find job are called discouraged workers.
They believe they will not find a job now so have stopped looking. These workers are not included in the labor force.
Marginally attached workers are those workers who are not employed but are not looking for work because of a number of reasons such as illness, school, responsibility, etc. These workers are also not included in labor force.
Those workers who would like to have full-time job but are employed part-time are considered employed. These workers are included in the labor force.
