Answer:

Customer Lifetime Value

Explanation:

Customer Lifetime Value is a measure of how much amount of money a customer spends on your business/products/services over the course of his whole lifetime.

It is a predictor of how well you are doing to retain your existing customers.

Why is it important?

suppose you spend $10 to advertise your product (belt) and a customer buys 5 belts on average every year for 15 years. You get $12 profit for each belt sold.

12*5*15= 900$

Subtract the advertising cost

900-10=890$ This is your customer lifetime value

Now imagine what would have happen if we had to sell these belts to 75 different customers?

The advertising cost to attract 75 customers would have been too much and hence net profit and customer lifetime value would be very less.

75*10=750$

900-750=150$

This is why customer lifetime value is important and businesses focus on retaining their customers for longer periods.

kvv77 [185]

Answer: No. She turns away business when the cost of an additional unit exceeds the income from it.

Explanation:

In order to maximize production, the optimal point at which Hester should wash cars is the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. Marginal cost should not be above marginal revenue because it would mean that a marginal loss is being made.

At the 101st car, Hester would make a marginal loss of $0.05 because the cost of $10.05 to wash exceeds the revenue of $10.00 that she charges the customer. She should therefore not accept this or additional business because it will lead to her incurring losses.

This year, Paula and Simon (married filing jointly) estimate that their tax liability will be $218,000. Last year, their total t
romanna [79]

Answer:

1. Yes

2. $7,400

Explanation:

Basic Rules For Estimated Tax For Individuals

Any individual who has estimated tax for the year of $1,000 or more and  whose withholding does not equal or exceed the “required annual payment” must make quarterly payments. Otherwise, a penalty may be assessed. The required annual payment is the smaller of the following amounts:  

1.Ninety percent of the tax shown on the current year's return.  

2.One hundred percent of the tax shown on the preceding year's return (the return must cover the full 12 months of the preceding year). If the AGI on the preceding year's return exceeds $150,000 ($75,000 if married filing separately), the 100% requirement is increased to 110%.

Are Paula and Simon required to increase their withholdings or make estimated tax payments this year to avoid the underpayment penalty?

Following the basic rules above, yes, Paula and Simon have to increase their withholdings or make estimated tax payments this year to avoid the underpayment penalty.

If so, how much?

Amount of income tax liability = $218,000

In general, taxpayers must pay at least 90 percent of their tax bill during the year to avoid an underpayment penalty when they file.

Therefore Minimum estimated payments-90% : $218,000 * 0.9 = $196,200

110% of the preceding year's tax: $182,000 * 1.10 = $200,200

According to the basic rules the required annual payment is the smaller which is $196,200.

Tax withholding from their employers = $188,800

Estimated tax payments required = $196,200 - $188,800 = $7,400
