Answer:

Pbundle = $48, Ppedicure = $32, Pmanicure ≥ $24

Explanation:

Type                  pedicure    manicure  combined WTP

Sandals wearer      $32                  $8                  $40

Boot wearer            $24                 $24                  $48

Two possible bundle prices = 40 & 48

                         High bundle price                low bundle price

P-bundle                    $48                                              $40

P-pedicure            $32                                             $24

P-manicure            $24                                             $16

The price of the services should be given as;

Pbundle = $48, Ppedicure = $32, Pmanicure ≥ $24

Sweet Company’s outstanding stock consists of 1,000 shares of noncumulative 5% preferred stock with a $100 par value and 10,000
frutty [35]

Answer:

preferred stockholders received $15,000 during the first 3 years

  • $2,000 in the first year
  • $6,000 in the second year
  • $7,000 in the third year

common shareholders received $25,000 in dividends during the third year.

Explanation:

preferred stock = 1,000 shares x $100 par value x 5% = $5,000

common stock = 10,000 shares at $10 par value

dividends declared and paid during the first 3 years:

year       dividends

1               $2,000

2              $6,000

3            $32,000

preferred stockholders should have received $5,000 per year x 3 years = $15,000. Preferred stockholders must be paid first, and their payment is fixed. If the dividends are not enough to pay the total amount, the remaining amount should be paid next year.

  • $2,000 in the first year
  • $6,000 in the second year
  • $7,000 in the third year

common shareholders received $32,000 - $7,000 = $25,000 in dividends during the third year.

Kay [80]

Answer:

≈ 9644 quantity of card

Explanation:

given data:

n = 4 regions/areas

mean demand = 2300

standard deviation = 200

cost of card (c) = $0.5

selling price (p) = $3.75

salvage value of card ( v ) = $ 0

The optimal production quantity for the card can be calculated using this formula below

= <em>u</em> + z (0.8667  ) * б

= 9200  +  1.110926 * 400

≈ 9644 quantity of card

First we have to find <em>u</em>

u = n * mean demand

 = 4 * 2300 = 9200

next we find the value of Z

Z = ( \frac{p-c}{p-v} )

   = ( 3.75 - 0.5 ) / 3.75   = 0.8667

Z( 0.8667 ) = 1.110926 ( using  excel formula : NORMSINV (0.8667 )

next we find б

б = 200\sqrt{n} = 400

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

D. $28

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Cost price = $20

Markup = 40%

To find the selling price;

Markup price = 40/100 * 20

Markup price = 800/100

Markup price = $8

Next, we would add the markup to the cost price;

Selling price = markup price + cost price

Selling price = 8 + 20

Selling price = $28

Therefore, the price of each pair of jeans is $28.

KING company wants to issue new 10-years bonds to finance some needed expansion. The company currently has an 8 percent coupon b
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Coupon rate is 7.41%

Explanation:

Using the price formula , the yield to maturity can be calculated first of all:

Bond price=coupon interest /yield to maturity

Bond price is $1080

coupon interest is 8%*$1000=$80

$1080=$80/yield to maturity

$1080*yield to maturity=$80

yield to maturity=$80/$1080

                         =7.41%

However if the price of the bond becomes the par value, the coupon rate can be calculated thus:

$1000=coupon payment/7.41%

coupon payment =$1000*7.41%

coupon payment=$74.1

coupon rate=$74.1/100=7.41%
