Options:

a) Gym Newbie: This largest market is new to fitness and working out. Gym newbies work out once a week and are price sensitive about their fitness spending.

b) Weekend Warriors: This large market works out 2-3 times a week and mixes up running with gym time. Weekend warriors typically purchase mid-level shoes and apparel and use a fitness app on their phone to track their workouts.

c) Marathon Madness: This mid-size market works out daily. Workouts often include long distance runs. Quality, durable products are attractive to this market, and marathoners are willing to pay premium prices to get the latest tech.

Answer:

C)

Explanation:

The VP of Marketing has directed you to search for a target market that values fitness technology functionality and are willing to pay for it. Gym newbies and weekend warriors might value the functionality but can get similar products at a lower costs since their needs are very basic.

You need people that workout constantly and for long periods of time. This type of clients really need high quality and durable products, so they are willing to pay for them. These guys and girls are not going to go around running and watching their cellphones, they are trying to improve their performance, not to worsen it. They are constantly looking for ways to be better athletes and train harder, and any help they can get is very valuable for them.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cost of equity can be estimated using two (2) different models:

  1. <em>The Dividend Valuation Model</em>
  2. <em>The capital asset pricing model (CAPM)</em>

<em>The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.  </em>

The model is stated below as follows

P = D(1+g)/ke-g)  

<em>The capital asset pricing model (CAPM): relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c </em>

<em>This model is considered superior to DVM. Hence, we will use the CAPM</em>

Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)

E(r) =? , Rf- 2.86%, Rm-Rf - 7.00 β- 1.23

E(r) = 2.86% + 1.23× 7%

= 2.86% + 8.61%

= 11.47 %

Cost of equity= 11.47 %

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The answer is below

b. Freight - DEBITED to Asset account

c. Insurance while in transit - DEBITED to Asset account

d. New parts to replace those damaged in unloading - NOT DEBITED to Asset account

To understand which costs incurred in acquiring the new printing press should be debited to the asset account, it should be noted that "new parts to replace those damaged in unloading" does not lead to improvement in assets, hence, it should be considered as Expense instead of being devoted into the asset account.

Sales are $1.44 million, cost of goods sold is $570,000, depreciation expense is $144,000, other operating expenses is $294,000,
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Times Interest earned ratio is 4.41 times

Explanation:

Times interest earned ratio measure the business capability to pay the interest over its liabilities from its current earning.

As interest expense value is not given it is calculated by the net of Earning before interest and tax and Income before tax

Net Income = Addition to Retained Earning + Dividend Paid = $133,100 + ( 84,000 x $1 ) = $133,100 + $84,000 = $217,100

Income before tax = $217,100 x 100% / ( 100% - 35%) = $334,000

Earning before interest and tax = Sales - Cost of goods sold - depreciation expense - other operating expenses = 1,440,000 - 570,000 - 144,000 - 294,000 = $432,000

Interest Expense = Earning before interest and tax - Income before tax = $432,000 - 334,000 = $98,000

Times Interest earned ratio = Earning before Interest and tax /  Interest expense = $432,000 / $98000 = 4.41 time
