Answer:

c. Observation.

Explanation:

If a company wants to gather information about it customer's decision making criteria, the best method is Observation. It allows researchers to gather large data in natural situations.

Focus group will only give analysis of selected group. This is usually beneficial before the launch of a product.

Emails and Mails survey have drawbacks like customers may ignore, might not receive mails, doesn't respond on time.

Personal interviews can be time consuming and customer might not be comfortable about explaining their product selection criteria.

A company acquires a subsidiary and will prepare consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes. For internal
NemiM [27]

Answer:

It is a relatively easy method to apply.

Explanation:

When accounting for a subsidiary, equity method is followed, whenever the shareholding percentage is equal or more than 20%.

But here, the parent company uses, initial value method for internal reporting.

Under initial value method the value of investment in subsidiary is recorded at cost, and then adjusted at year end at fair value, this clearly shows the gain or loss at each year end from such investment as per market norms.

There is no statutory requirement to follow such initial value method for internal reporting.

The correct reason therefore, is:

It is a relatively easy method to apply.

Even as it begins to produce the Mirai for the U.S. market, Toyota continues to manufacture its traditionally fueled cars, truck
Contact [7]

Answer:

Volatility

Explanation:

Volatility of industrial demand is the uncertainty in demand for product or parts by consumers. Companies need to adequately prepare for these changes in demand by the consumer so as to adequately provide the inventory or product to the customer.

In the given scenario Toyota is manufacturing product for all demands in the market place so as to capture all market shares.

They are producing both traditionally furled cars and the Mirai (a car that uses electricity). By this move they are appealing to both demand for normal fuel cars and those that want to use alternative energy sources

Good X and Good Y are related goods. When the price of Good X rises by 20 percent, the quantity demanded for Good Y falls by 40
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

-2

Explanation:

Good X and Y are related goods

When the price of Good X rises by 20 percent the quantity for Good Y falls by 40 percent

Therefore the cross price elasticity can be calculated as follows

= -40/20

= -2

Hence the cross price elasticity is -2

The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the
mr_godi [17]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% ; σ = 22.70%; mean = $7.50; standard deviation = $2.50

State              Prob     E(R)

Boom             10%     40%

Normal           60%     20%

Recession       30%   - 25%

Answer:

The expected return of the stock E(R) is 8.5%.

The standard deviation of the returns is 22.7%

Explanation:

<u>Expected return</u>

The expected return of the stock can be calculated by multiplying the stock's expected return E(R) in each state of economy by the probability of that state.

The expected return E(R) = (0.4 * 0.1)  +  (0.2 * 0.6)  +  (-0.25 * 0.3)

The expected return E(R) = 0.04 + 0.12 -0.075 = 0.085 or 8.5%

<u>Standard Deviation of returns</u>

The standard deviation is a measure of total risk. It measures the volatility of the stock's expected return. The standard deviation (SD) of a stock's return can be calculated by using the following formula:

SD = √(rA - E(R))² * (pA) + (rB - E(R))² * (pB) + ... + (rN - E(R))² * (pN)

Where,

  • rA, rB to rN is the return under event A, B to N.
  • pA, pB to pN is the probability of these events to occur
  • E(R) is the expected return of the stock

Here, the events are the state of economy.

So, SD = √(0.4 - 0.085)² * (0.1) + (0.2 - 0.085)² * (0.6) + (-0.25 - 0.085)² * (0.3)

SD = 0.22699 or 22.699% rounded off to 22.70%
