Concentrated Targeting Strategy

Explanation:

Concentrated Targeting Strategy refers to a situation in which an organization focus its marketing efforts on only a specific segment of the market. That is, only one marketing mix is developed.

Virty [35]

Answer:

$70$ tickets were sold to student and $130$ tickets were sold to adults

Explanation:

Let the number of tickets purchased by students be "X" and the number of tickets purchased by adults be "Y"

Given

Total number of tickets sold $= 200$

Total amount collected by selling $200$ tickets $= 1485$ dollar

Cost of one ticket of student $= 4.5$ dollar

Cost of one ticket of adult $=$ 9 dollar

Two equation are as follows

$X + Y = 200\\$ ------Eq (1)

$4.5 X + 9 Y =1485$ -------- Eq (2)

Multiplying eq (1) by 9 and subtracting from equation 2 we get

$4.5 X - 9 X + 9Y -9Y = 1485 - (200* 9)\\-4.5 X = -315\\X = 70$

Substituting the value of X in equation 1 we get

$70 + Y = 200\\Y = 200 -70 \\Y = 130$

Therefore, $70$ tickets were sold to student and $130$ tickets were sold to adults

A company's board of directors votes to declare a cash dividend of $1.65 per share of common stock. The company has 33,000 share

umka21 [38]

Answer:

E) $45,375

Explanation:

This is because Authorized shares are the total shares that the company can issue.

There is a difference between issued and outstanding shares of 500 shares, this may be because these shares are currently held by the company itself and thus dividends are payable only on outstanding shares

This gives us 27,500 * 1.65 = $43,375

5,000 7.5 percent coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 19 years to maturity, selling for 105 percent of par; the bonds ma

vitfil [10]

Answer:

10.53%

Explanation:

WACC = wE*rE + wP*rP + wD*rD(1-tax)

Market values;

Debt = 1.05 *5,000*1000 = 5,250,000

Preferred stock = 15,500 *107 = 1,658,500

Common equity = 105,000 *63 = 6,615,000

Total market value = 13,523,500

wE = 6,615,000/ 13,523,500 = 0.4891

wP= 1,658,500/13,523,500 = 0.1226

wD = 5,250,000/13,523,500 = 0.3882

Cost of capital;

Cost of common equity, rE using CAPM;

rE = 0.06 + (1.13*0.09) = 0.1617

rE = 16.17%

Cost of preferred stock = 6%

Cost of debt

using a financial calculator, input the following; N= 38, PV = -1050, PMT = 37.5,

FV =1000, then CPT I/Y = 3.51% . So annual rate = 3.51% *2 = 7.02%

WACC = (0.4891*0.1617) +(0.1226* 0.06) + [0.3882 *0.0702(1-0.31)]

WACC = 0.0791 + 0.007356 + 0.0188

WACC = 0.1053 or 10.53%
