Answer: The answer is b
Explanation:
The concept of advertising response function is based on the theory of marginal physical product and shows the relationship between advertising and the level of consumption of the goods by the consumers. The theory of marginal physical product states that when there is a change in total product resulting from one unit change in the quantity of the resources used per unit of time. When average product is increasing ,marginal physical product is greater than average product,when average product is maximum ,marginal physical equals average product .when average product is decreasing marginal physical product is less than average product.The theory of marginal physical product can also be called the law of diminishing return which states that if increasing quantities of one factor of production are used in conjunction with a fixed quantity of other factors then, after a certain point each successive unit of the variable factor will make smaller and smaller addition to the total output. In this case, the law tells the Trend Inc when to stop adding more input of the variable factor to a fixed factor.
Invariably, we are saying that it high time for Trend Inc, should spend proportionately less on advertising than on newer line. It should now spend more money on bringing of new product into the market than spending more on the advertisement of the sport shoes because at a certain point the demand for the old product will fall when diminishing return must have set in on the product demand.
Answer:
Casey's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of potatoes is 5 kg of steak.
Casey's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of steak is 0.2 kg of potatoes.
Rick's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of potatoes is 3 kg of steak.
Rick's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of steak is 0.33 kg of potatoes.
Casey should produce steak while Rick should produce potatoes, since Rick has a comparative advantage in producing potatoes (lower opportunity cost) and Casey has a comparative advantage in producing steak.
As long as the price of steak per kilogram of potatoes is less than 5 kg of steak and more than 3 kg of steak, then both would win. In order for both of them to win is a similarly proportional way, the exchange price should be 4 kg of steak per kg of potatoes.
Answer:
They should invest $5,119,047.619 today.
Explanation:
The trust fund will pay a fixed amount forever thus it is a perpetuity. The value of perpetuity or Price of perpetuity is the amount that the perpetuity is worth in today's terms based on the cash flows it will generate in future.
The formula for the value or price of perpetuity is,
P0 or V = Cash Flow / r
Thus,
P0 or V = 215000 / 0.04 = $5,119,047.619
Answer:
(A) $144,000.
Explanation:
For computing the indirect costs allocated to the Commercial Department first we have to compute the per unit cost which is shown below:
Per unit cost = (Allocated department overhead indirect cost) ÷ (total number of direct labor hours)
= $396,000 ÷ 22,000
= $18
The total number of direct labor hours = Consumer + commercial
= 14,000 + 8,000
= 22,000
Now the indirect cost equal to
= Per unit cost × Commercial direct labor hours
= $18 × 8,000
= $144,000
Answer:
Present value = $21,804 (approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Periodic payment = $3,200
Number of period = 12
Interest rate = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1
Present value = ?
Computation of Present value:
![Present\ value = PMT[\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{1-(1+0.1)^{-12}}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{1-(1.1)^{-12}}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{1-0.318630818}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{0.681369182}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 21,803.6188](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Present%5C%20value%20%3D%20PMT%5B%5Cfrac%7B1-%281%2Br%29%5E%7B-n%7D%7D%7Br%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CPresent%5C%20value%20%3D%203%2C200%5B%5Cfrac%7B1-%281%2B0.1%29%5E%7B-12%7D%7D%7B0.1%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CPresent%5C%20value%20%3D%203%2C200%5B%5Cfrac%7B1-%281.1%29%5E%7B-12%7D%7D%7B0.1%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CPresent%5C%20value%20%3D%203%2C200%5B%5Cfrac%7B1-0.318630818%7D%7B0.1%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CPresent%5C%20value%20%3D%203%2C200%5B%5Cfrac%7B0.681369182%7D%7B0.1%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CPresent%5C%20value%20%3D%2021%2C803.6188)
