Answer:
A. A toothpaste manufacturer adds a new line of toothpaste (that contains baking soda) to its product line.
Explanation:
Market cannibalization is explained to be a loss in sales caused by a company's introduction of a new product that displaces one of its own older products.
Introduction of a new toothpaste containing baking soda is a perfect example, because it will reduce or alter sales in the other brand units.
The cannibalization of existing products leads to no increase in the company's market share despite sales growth for the new product. Market cannibalization can occur when a new product is similar to an existing product, and both share the same customer base. Cannibalization can also occur when a chain store or fast food outlet lose customers due to another store of the same brand opening nearby.
Answer: $34.33
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that bond has a par value of $1,000, a current yield of 6.84 percent, and semiannual coupon payments and that the bond is quoted at 100.39.
Thee amount of each coupon payment goes thus:
We have to calculate the bond price which will be:
= $1000 × 100.39%
= $1000 × 1.39
= $1003.9
It should be noted that the current yield is calculated as the annual coupon amount divided by the bond price. This will be:
6.84% = annual coupon amount ÷ $1003.9
Annual coupon amount = $1003.9 × 6.84%
= $1003.9 × 0.0684
= $68.67
Each coupon amount will now be:
= $68.67/2
= $34.33
18%
The "Rule of 72" tells you how long it takes your money to double. Divide 72 by the interest rate to find the number of years. In this case the interest rate is "x"
72/x= 4 years
x=18
Answer:
decrease total revenue of textbook sellers.
Explanation:
Demand is inelastic if a change in price has a very little effect on the quantity demanded.
If price is reduced, the quantity demanded of textbooks would change by a little amount, so total revenue would fall due to a reduction in the price of textbooks.
Total revenue = price × quantity
<u>Measures of dispersion are often used in finance as a proxy for risk:</u>
Measures of dispersion are generally used to describe the variability in sample. The three commonly used measures of dispersion are as follows,
- Interquartile range - Difference between the
and 
percentile (also known as the 
and 
quartile). The formula is 
- Range - Difference between the largest and smallest observation. The formula is
- Standard deviation - SD is the square root of sum of squared deviation from the mean divided by the number of observations. The formula is as follows,
Appropriate usage of measures of dispersion:
Median and interquartile range is used for skewed numerical data, ordinal data or mean. When mean is utilized as a measure of central tendency or symmetric numerical data, SD is used.
Usage in finance:
In finance, the Regression analysis technique helps in explaining the dispersion of dependent variable, that is measured by its variance, with the help of one or more independent variables each of which has positive dispersion. This proves to be a proxy for risk.
