Answer:

C. 3

Explanation:

The decision to use public or private transport is individual and depends on the tastes and preferences of each consumer. If there is a proposal to stimulate the use of public transport, it is necessary to affect these preferences, which are often associated with costs.

Measure 1 would only be feasible if a study showed that there is room for tariff reduction. Public transport should be used, but it should be sustainable without relying on subsidies.

Measure 2 may be adopted, as rising private transportation costs such as tolls, fares and so on may force people to decide to use public transport, but this is a more extreme measure that affects other sectors and I would not recommend it.

Measure 3 would be recommended because it is a stimulus to the consumption of public transport. If annual passes provide discounts, consumers' perceptions may change as public transport may become more economically attractive.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

D. Online​ marketing, social media​ marketing, and mobile marketing

Explanation:

Digital direct marketing is a fusion of <em>digital </em>and <em>direct </em>marketing. <em>Digital </em>includes online and mobile (smartphone) media, while the traditional media often refers to telephones, TV, brick-and-mortar shops...

Since the term <em>direct</em> refers to the way of approaching customers, it is important to make a distinction between marketing channels and media that are aimed for a wider public, and the ones that have the possibility of targeting a specific customer or target group.

The only answer that includes types of DDM (digital direct marketing) is <em>D</em>.

Online and social media marketing are tightly related and are digital by nature. They have the functionality to target customers directly with the aid of <em>cookies </em>and data provided by social media. Also, mobile marketing is direct and digital too, as it is related to smartphones and unique phone numbers (thus, it is direct).

You invest 70% of your money on a stock with expected return of 15% and standard deviation of 22%. The rest of your money is inv
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The portfolio return is 12.6% and the portfolio SD is 15.4%. Thus, option a is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The expected return of a portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stock returns that form up the portfolio. Thus, the expected return for a two stock portfolio is,

Return of Portfolio =  wA * rA  +  wB * rB

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolio
  • r represents the return of each stock

Portfolio return = 0.7 * 0.15  +  0.3 * 0.07  =  0.126  or 12.6%

The standard deviation of a two stock portfolio containing one risky and one risk free asset is the weight of risky asset in the portfolio multiplied by the standard deviation of the risky asset. The risk free asset has zero standard deviation.

Standard deviation of such a portfolio is,

Portfolio SD = w of risky asset * SD of risky asset

Portfolio SD = 0.7 * 0.22  

Portfolio SD = 0.154 or 15.4%
