Answer:

All requirements solved

Explanation:

Utility if you buy them online or if you can get them in Tijuana can be calculated as follows

Requirement a. Buy online  

Y=1000-200=800

U=ln(800)=2.90

Requirement b. Buy from Tijuana

Y=1000-20-50=930  

U=ln(930)=2.97

Requirement c.

p(1000-20-50)=(1-p)(1000-200)

930p=800-800p

p=0.46

Requirement d. expected income from buying in tijuana:

=0.6(1000-60-50)+0.4(1000-20-50)

=534+372

=906 > 800(income from buying online)

So buy from tijuana

What is the minimum number of days for an informal complaint to be resolved? (equal opportunity complaint process, page 2)?
krek1111 [17]
I believe there are no minimum number of days for this.
informal process of the complaints typically follow the method that is usually not aimed to be finished in legal court.
the purpose of informal complaint usually only to resolve a simple difference rather than full investigation.

The market value of​ Fords' equity, preferred​ stock, and debt are $ 7 ​billion, $ 2 ​billion, and $ 15 ​billion, respectively.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Ford's weighted average cost of capital is 8.22 %

Explanation:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the minimum return that the company expect from a project. It shows the risk of the company.

Calculation of WACC

WACC = Cost of equity + Cost of preferred​ stock + Cost of debt

Capital Source       Market Values     Weight      Cost      Total Cost

equity                         $ 7 ​billion          29.17%      13.6%       3.97 %

preferred​ stock         $ 2 ​billion            8.33%      12%          1.00 %

debt                           $ 15 ​billion         62.50%     5.2 %       3.25%

Total                          $ 24 billion                                          8.22 %

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Risk Premium

                       =  4% + 1.2 × 8%

                       =  13.6%

Cost of preferred​ stock = Dividend/Market Price

                                       = $ 3/ $ 25 × 100

                                       = 12%

Cost of debt = interest × (1- tax rate)

                    = 8% × (1-0.35)

                    = 5.2 %

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

D) Overhead was underapplied by $4,000.

Explanation:

Overhead is underapplied when the actual balance in the manufacturing overhead control account is larger than the balance in the applied manufacturing overhead account.

In this case, the balance of the manufacturing overhead control is $124,000 while the balance of the applied manufacturing overhead account is $120,000. This means that actual overhead costs were $4,000 higher than budgeted.

vagabundo [1.1K]

The  stage in the product life cycle of the Instant Pot would be "growth stage".

<h3>Stages in product life cycle:</h3>

There are four stages in the life cycle of a product in the market which are-

  • Take-off stage or introduction,
  • Growth stage or shake-out stage,
  • Maturity stage and
  • Decline.

The characteristics of Growth stage are-

  • Increasing sales, customers and profit.
  • Greater competition from fellow companies. As rival companies release similar products, the competition is frequently strong during the growth period.
  • The product will move into the growth stage if it maintains its success and continues to satisfy market demands.
  • Price undercutting in the growth stage is typically uncommon because businesses in this stage can boost revenue by luring in new clients.

The said product can be confirmed to be in the growth stage because it exhibits higher growth in demand by social media marketing. Also, it shows there was a rise in the rival companies Ninja and Crock-pot pressure cookers.
