Supplier power. An evaluation of how simple it is for suppliers to force up prices. Buyer power. An estimation of how accessible it is for buyers to push prices dropping.

Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": Reliability.
Explanation:
In customer care, the quality dimensions refer to a set of five (5) characteristics companies must pay attention to in implementing their operations to attract customers and ensure their loyalty. Those characteristics are: Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, Empathy, and Tangibles.
Reliability refers to providing a service the customers can trust. Most consumers prefer traditional methods than innovative because the first has been proven to work. Then, <em>if a university promotes itself as a very traditional campus with an old-world look and feel, where the facilities are manicured and the dorm rooms are large, it is focusing on the reliability aspect of service quality.</em>

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%
