Answer:

  d.  $211,250

Explanation:

The TATO is the ratio of sales to assets:

  TATO = sales/assets

Filling in the desired numbers, we can find the desired level of assets:

  2.4 = 345,000/assets

  assets = 345,000/2.4 = 143,750

Starting with assets of 355,000 the reduction necessary to bring assets down to 143,750 is ...

  $355,000 -143,750 = $211,250 . . . . matches choice D

where,  

Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities

Answer:

Letter A is correct.<em> Complementary product pricing.</em>

Explanation:

Organizations use the strategy of adopting a complementary product pricing to increase the total profit of a product group.

This strategy is used when the company sells products that are complementary, ie the use of one is complemented by the use of the other, so the company substantially decreases the price of a product, usually just to cover costs, and guarantees gains from a product with a high price and very high profit margin.

The benefits added to the complementary price of a product are market gain, competitors' entry barriers and retention and attraction of new consumers.

REY [17]

Answer:

<u>Predatory pricing</u>

Explanation:

A "predator" refers to an animal who survives by "preying" on other animals.

Predatory pricing in a similar sense refers to that form of excessively low pricing which in a way consumes other firms by taking away their share of industry revenues. Such form of pricing is considered illegal and is against healthy competition.

Such pricing eliminates competitors from the market and gradually leads to emergence of a monopoly i.e supremacy of a single firm in the whole industry and thus considered an illegal practice.

In the given case, the retail chain can be alleged to have followed predatory pricing which is substantiated by the fact that it cuts it's prices excessively i.e even below cost , thereby forcing smaller companies to exit the industry.
