Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": quality modification.

Explanation:

Quality modification is the process in which a company modifies its product standards by introducing better or worst materials in the production improving or worsening the quality of the output. This is usually done to attract luxury segment clientele -in the case of improvements, or to reduce costs -in the case of lowering the quality.

You come across a scientific study reported in the New York Times. The study says that adults who played varsity sports in high
dangina [55]

Answer:

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

We are given an article that presents a study that suggests adults who played varsity sports in high school have a 20% higher chance of earning a bachelor's degree in college than the ones who did not play during high school.

The outcome variable in this example, which is also the same as a dependent variable, is the chance of graduating from college with a bachelor's degree, which depends on whether that person played varsity sports during their high school years or not.

The treatment variable in this example, which is also the same as an independent variable, is whether the subject played varsity sports in high school or not which affects their chances of graduating from college with a bachelor's degree.

Counterfactual means thinking about an event in a way that did not actually happen, counter to the facts and it helps people feel more in control which in turn provides a psychological soothing effect. Counterfactual scenario in the given example for high school athletes would be not being able to earn a bachelor's degree despite having played sports in high school.

Thinking about the counterfactual scenario is important because it helps people get a sense of power and a feeling of control which is a primal instinct the brain needs to feel safe.

I hope this answer helps.

Marketing Docs prepares marketing plans for growing businesses. For 2017, budgeted revenues are $1,500,000 based on 500 marketin
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Contribution margin per marketing plan = Sales - Variable cost

                                                                   =  $3,000 - $2,000

                                                                   = $1,000

A.

(1) Break-even\ in\ rooms=\frac{Fixed\ cost}{contribution\ margin\ per\ marketing\ plan}

Break-even\ in\ rooms=\frac{400,000}{1,000}

Break even in marketing plan = 400

(2) Break-even in dollars:

= Break-even in marketing plan × Average rate per plan

= 400 × 3,000

= 1,200,000

(3) Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break-even sales in dollars

                                = 1,500,000 - 1,200,000

                                = 300,000

Margin\ of\ safety\ ratio=\frac{Margin\ of\ safety}{Actual\ sales}

Margin\ of\ safety\ ratio=\frac{300,000}{1,500,000}

                                             = 20%

B.

(1) Contribution margin per marketing plan = Sales - Variable cost

                                                                   =  $4,000 - $2,000

                                                                   = $2,000

Break-even\ in\ rooms=\frac{Fixed\ cost}{contribution\ margin\ per\ marketing\ plan}

Break-even\ in\ rooms=\frac{400,000}{2,000}

Break even in marketing plan = 200

(2) Break-even in dollars:

= Break-even in marketing plan × Average rate per plan

= 200 × 4,000

= 800,000

(3) Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break-even sales in dollars

                                = 1,500,000 - 800,000

                                = 700,000

Margin\ of\ safety\ ratio=\frac{Margin\ of\ safety}{Actual\ sales}

Margin\ of\ safety\ ratio=\frac{700,000}{1,500,000}

                                             = 47%

Therefore, option (a) would achieve the margin of safety ratio more than 45%.

What is the reason it's better to underestimate your income instead of overestimating when creating your budget?
Alik [6]

Answer:

  • <em>Underestimating your income is a conservative and healthy measure that can avoid financial problems.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Underestimating</em> your <em>income</em> is a conservative and healthy measure, such as it is overestimating your expenses.

Specially when your income is variable iit can be hard to predict. You will be safer both if your income lowers or your unpredictable expenses increase.

There are many unpredictable situations that could put you in a difficult situation: a disease, a natural disaster, the need to help a family member or friend in trouble. If any of these unfortunate circumstances arises and your budget is too tight, you could see yourself in financial trouble.

But, if you if all is smooth you will have in a happy situation, you will have a surplus which can use for savings, for an important purchase, or for vacations.

It is better to be cautious than to regret later!
