Explanation:

The computation of the total cost is shown below:-

Particulars                            Old machine             Purchase new machine

Original cost                         $720,000                  $480,000

Current value                        $400,000

Today Disposable value       $170,000

In 9 years Disposable value  $20,000                    $130,000

Annual operating cost            $60,000                    $26,000

Total Cost                                $690,000                  $584,000

So, the total cost of old machine is $690,000 and the Purchase new machine cost is $584,000. So, the old machine should replace with new machine because there is cost saving of $106,000.

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: Baby Boomer.

Explanation:

To begin with, the term<em> ''baby boomer''</em> refers to the demographic cohort regarding the generation of people born in the period called ''baby boom'', that occured in some  was after the Second World War and comprehends the years between 1946 until 1964. Moreover, the main characteristic of this period was that around 76 million babies were born in America and that an excessive consumerism began to spread.

During year 1, albrecht sold his personal sport plane that had an adjusted basis to him of $112,000 to roy for $140,000. roy pai
Airida [17]

Answer:

$8000

Explanation:

Given that:

Adjusted basis of sport plane = $112,000

Sales price = $140,000

Down payment = $40,000

Balance paid in $20,000 installment for the nest 5 years

Gross income:

Gross income = sales price - adjusted basis

Gross income = $140,000 - $112,000

Gross income = $28,000

Based on the installment payment of $20,000:

140,000/20,000 = 7

Gross income = $28000/ 7 = $4000

With down payment being 40,000

In year 1, down payment of $40,000 was made, which is 2 times the yearly installment amount.

Hence gross profit in year 1 = $4000 × 2 = $8000

For years, Ferrari has been known as the manufacturer of expensive luxury automobiles. The company plans to attract the major se
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Answer to each part of the question is given below separately under specific headings with detailed explanation.

Explanation:

<u>a) Branding strategy recommendation</u>

The branding strategy they should opt is a multi-branding strategy, in which a company's objective is to market more than one product and/or brand under the same hood in order to increase their overall market share. This strategy is somewhat used by other known car manufacturers such as Toyota (Lexus), Honda (Acura) etc.

<u></u>

<u>b) Branding strategy trade-offs</u>

The trade-off with this strategy is that the attention of Ferrari would be diverted from their main market segment and therefore, they will not be providing new products to the luxury market.

This will give the other companies in the same market segment the opportunity to increase their market share in the same segment.

<u>c) Opinion on the trading-down strategy</u>

It is fairly a risk for Ferrari to opt for the trading down strategy. This is due to the fact that their main market and objective is the luxury market to buy their expensive cars. Focusing on the new strategy could hurt their brand equity and this may impact their loyal buyers.

However, such could be avoided if they market this strategy with a foreign brand name and promote the name under the Ferrari hood by saying that the foreign brand has been designed by the Ferrari. Keeping the original Ferrari name and objective separate from this brand.
