Answer:
The correct answer is option a.
Explanation:
An interior decorator has moved his business from Los Angeles to St. Paul, Minnesota because his spouse's company transferred her to St. Paul.
The decorator is distressed because the customers in his target market have, in his words, "banal and bourgeois taste."
The customers in St. Paul have a different taste from the customers that he catered to in Los Angeles. The consumer tastes and preferences may differ from place to place according to the climatic conditions, social status, cultures, etc.
The problem with the decorator is that he does not understands that customer needs are not right or wrong, good or bad. It is not right or wrong if the customers in Minnesota have a different preference from customers in Los Angeles.
Answer:
Decrease by $27000
Explanation:
Given that
Contribution margin = 44000
Initial fixed cost = 54000
Final fixed cost = 37000
Recall that
Net operating income = Contrubution Margin - Net fixed cost.
NOI = 44000 - (54000 - 37000)
NOI = 44000 - 17000
NOI = $27000
Thus, Net operating income decreased by 27000.
Answer:
The company paid $278,031
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A company bought a parcel of land twenty years ago. The land is currently worth $575,000. The yearly appreciation rate has been 3.7%.
<u>To calculate the past value of the land, we need to use the following formula:</u>
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= present value (20 years ago)
n= 20
FV= 575,000
i= 0.037
PV= 575,000 / (1.037^20)
PV= $278,031
