Trevor is watching a late night TV show when a low-budget commercial for a local restaurant comes on air. He is affronted by the
tangare [24]

Answer: Peripheral route.

Explanation:

Persuasion is the ability to convince one or more people about something, to think in a certain way, or to do something in particular.

The persuasion follows two routes; the central route, and the peripheral route:

  • The central route of persuasion occurs when the person is persuaded by the message received.
  • The peripheral route of persuasion occurs when the person is persuaded by something different than the message, such as how the message is presented.

In this case, Trevor was guided by what he saw to decide, so he followed the peripheral route of persuasion.

A​ check-processing center uses exponential smoothing to forecast the number of incoming checks each month. The number of checks
aliina [53]

Answer:

A. Forecast for July = 42.

B. Forecast for August = 42.45

C. Because of seasonality in the banking industry.

Explanation:

A. Forecast for July = Forecast for June + Smoothing constant x (Forecasting error)

                                 = 42 + 0.15 (42-42) = 42

B. Forecast for August = Forecast for July + 0.15 (Forecasting error)

                                      = 42 + 0.15 (45-42) = 42.45

C. Because there is a great deal of seasonality in the processing requirements of banking industry, this forecasting method (exponential smoothing) might not be appropriate for this situation.

In January 2012, one US dollar was worth 50 Indian rupees. Suppose that over the next year the value of the Indian rupee decreas
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

59% - a)increase - b)decrease

Explanation:

First of all, we should say that the real exchange rate is calculated by multiplying the nominal exchange rate for the price index and then divide it by the price index of the other country. In another language, using this case as the example, the first nominal exchange rate is 50, as you need 50 rupees to buy 1 dollar. So to calculate the real exchange rate you need to multiply 50 by 100 (the price index of USA) and then divide it by 100 (the price index of India). Note that both price indexes are 100, just a coincidence for making easier the question. Result: 50.

Then we calculate the next real exchange rate: multiply 60 (the new nominal exchange rate) by 106 (the new US price index) and divide by 80 (the new India price index). This throws a result of 79,5. We see a 29,5 increase, and 29,5 represents 59% of 50 (the initial real exchange rate).

Then both questions is more common sense than the reading of the results we just calculated. For example, nominal exchange rate changed from 50 to 60, so the people in India will now have to collect 10 more rupees to buy the same dollar. Let's suppose a pair of shoes in USA costs 40 dollars. Before, Indians needed 2000 rupees to buy it. Now they will need 2400 rupees... it will be more expensive. Plus, the prices of USA had gone up 6%, which means the pair of shoes will now cost 42,4 dollars... even more expensive! As products in USA are more expensive, we can expect that India's consumption of American goods will decrease (law of demand).

With the American consumption of Indian goods happens the opposite, the goods in India became cheaper (price index has fallen), and for the Americans, the same dollars they had will buy more rupees when the exchange rate changed to 60.

Written communications fall into two categories: paper-based and electronic. Which of the following are paper-based messages? Ch
Harman [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B" and "C": Business letters; Interoffice memos.

Explanation:

Paper-based communications are means of transmitting information presented on paper. It is implemented in formal cases where there must be written support of a proposal or notification about the course of actions that will be taken in front of a claim case or problem, for instance. <em>Business letters </em>and<em> interoffice memos </em>fall under this category.

Electronic communication can be used at the corporate level as well but it has a certain degree of informality. <em>Instant messages</em> or <em>e-mails </em>are used to transmit different kinds of information within a firm.
