Answer:

C) category points-of-parity.

Explanation:

With category points-of-parity the emphasis is on Nivea brand offering the relevant category features. These are features a brand must have to be considered competitors in a particular industry.

So for deodorants people want to know if they are strong, will the shampoo clean effectively, and will cosmetics be colourful.

Without these key features in the products Nivea would lose competitive advantage.

Day inventory outstanding = {(Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2}÷ cost of goods sold × number of days in a year

= {($200,000 + $140,000) ÷ 2} ÷ ($552,500) × 365 days

Up in Smoke Tobacco Shops' bond carries a 9 percent coupon, pays interest semiannually, and has 10 years to maturity. What is th
lara [203]

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Since the bond is selling at a discount, it means that the coupon rate is blow the market rate, so the actual rate must be higher. Since there is only one option with an interest rate above 9%, we must check to see if it works.

10% yearly interest rate = 5% semiannual interest rate

we must determine the PV of the 20 coupons paid and the face value at maturity.

to calculate the PV of the 20 coupons ($45 each) we can use an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function with a 5% discount rate: PV of the coupons = $560.80

the PV of the face value in 10 years = $1,000 / 1.05²⁰ = $376.89

the present value of the coupons and the bond at maturity = $560.80 + $376.89 = $937.69. The PV using a 5% semiannual rate is very similar to $937.75, and since the question asked us to round up to the nearest whole percent, we can assume it is correct.

The campground will make the most economic profit whenit has property rights to a clean lake . True or False: The fish cannery w
babymother [125]

Answer:

hi your question is incomplete here is the complete question

Consider a lake found in the town of Center Barnstead,

The town has a campground whose visitors use the lake for recreation. The town also has a fish cannery that dumps industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the fish cannery's waste decreases the campground's economic profit.

Suppose that the fish cannery could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the campground would no longer be affected. If the fish cannery uses the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $1,500 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,800 per week. If the fish cannery does not use the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $2,000 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,000 per week. These figures are summarized in the following table.

Action

Profit

Fish Cannery

Campground

Total

(Dollars)

(Dollars)

(Dollars)

No Recycling 2,000 1,000  

Recycling 1,500 1,800  

Total economic profit is highest when the recycling production method is   .

When the fish cannery uses the recycling method, the campground earns $1,800−$1,000=$800$1,800−$1,000=$800 more per week than it does with no recycling. Therefore, the campground should be willing to pay up to $800 per week for the fish cannery to recycle water. However, the recycling method decreases the fish cannery's economic profit by $2,000−$1,500=$500$2,000−$1,500=$500 per week. Therefore, the fish cannery should be willing to use the recycling method if it is compensated with at least $500 per week.

Suppose the campground has the property rights to the lake. That is, the campground has the right to a clean (unpolluted) lake. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the fish cannery will   the recycling method and will pay the campground   per week.

Now, suppose the fish cannery has the property rights to the lake, including the right to pollute it. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the fish cannery will   the recycling method, and the campground will pay the fish cannery   per week.

ANSWER

  • True
  • True

Explanation:

The campground will make the most economic profit when it has property rights to a clean lake : True. this is true because the Fish cannery will be using the recycling method and from the table it is seen that when the recycling method is used The Campground make the most economic profit

The fish cannery will use the recycling method regardless of who has the property right : TRUE . this is because the Fish cannery will use the recycling method anyways because the recycling method would not pollute the water hence not interfering with the campground activities in case they own the property rights.
