Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

(a) It should include the opportunity cost of making the down payment. The opportunity cost is the benefit or cost obtained from the next best alternative. While making any big decision such as purchasing house which require huge amount, hence, one should consider the opportunity cost associated with the decision.

In our case, the buyer would deposit the down payment amount in the bank, so that he will be able to earn some interest income.

(b) Interest will be =4% of $80000

                              = $3200

so after the year amount will be 80,000 + 3,200

                                                     = $83,200

Monthly payment = $1920 per month

Year = 1,920 × 12

        = $23,040

Yearly opportunity cost will be $3,200

Answer:

When any company wants to sale their product without prior knowledge of the market then it's a disaster.

First thing Jack can do is "Test Marketing". If any company has no knowledge of market then fastest way to know your market is test marketing. Jack must put his sweaters in small quantity for sale at different locations. Test marketing needs to be done for whole week. Jack needs to collect the feedback from its customers too. Feedback is the way jack can know the market. Without knowing the market and customers, it's really hard to market or sale your product.

Korvikt [17]

Answer: 90%

Explanation:

Cycle Service Level refers to the expected probability by which a manufacturer meets the demand for a particular product and is not being stockout.

In this case,

40% of the days, 80 are sold;

50% of the days, 90 are sold

10% of the days; 100 are sold.

Since the vendor plans to stock 90 each day, then the vendor will meet demand during 40% of the days, when 80 are sold; and during 50% of the days, when 90 are sold.

Therefore, the expected CSL is the vendor targeting will be:

= 40% + 50%

= 90%
