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

ozzi

Answer:

Cost of service to provide one haircut is $ 11.04

Explanation:

Hair saloon expense: $500

Building rent expense: $1,458

Utilities expense: $200

Depreciation expense --- Equipment: $50

Total operating cost = Hair saloon expense + Building rent expense + Utilities expense + Depreciation expense

= $500 + $1,458 + $200 + $50

= $ 2,208

Total hair cuts = 200

Therefore, cost per hair cut = Total operating cost ÷ Total hair cuts

= $2,208 ÷ $200

=  $ 11.04

dexar [7]

Answer:

Fixed Cost = $10,000

Variable Costs = $90,000

Explanation:

Variable Cost per unit = $72,000 ÷ 12,000

Variable Costs at 15,000 units = $6 x 15,000

                                                   = $90,000

Fixed Cost (given) = $10,000

When Get the Glare Out needed some information about the potential market for its product, the marketing team looked to the Inte
Romashka [77]

Answer:

secondary data.

Explanation:

Market research can be defined as a strategic technique which typically involves the process of identifying, acquiring and analyzing informations about a business. It involves the use of product test, surveys, questionnaire, focus groups, interviews, etc.

Secondary market research can be defined as a method designed to determine the demographics of a particular target market.

A secondary data can be defined as any form of data that has been obtained or collected earlier by someone else through primary sources for their own purpose and made readily available for other researchers to use. Thus, a secondary data is a type of data that has been previously obtained or collected.

In this scenario, the type of information the marketing team was using is referred to as secondary data because it looked to the Internet to find industry trends and at the market for eyewear products, which uses the same technology that is used in manufacturing its self-darkening windshield.

In conclusion, a secondary data is typically reliant or based on the primary source of information and as such it isn't a first hand experience.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Value of firm today = $2,000,000

Explanation:

Provided details are,

Future Cash Flow = $100,000

Expected growth rate = 6.5%

Weighted average cost of capital = 11.5%

Firm's total corporate value = \frac{Future\ Cash\ Flow}{Cost\ of\ capital - growth\ rate}

= \frac{100,000}{0.115 - 0.065}

= \frac{100,000}{0.05}

= $2,000,000

Thus, value of firm today with the details provided = $2,000,000
