Let's say you work for a company that makes prepared breakfast cereals like corn flakes. Your company is planning to introduce a

new hot breakfast product made from whole grains that would require some minimal preparation by the consumer. This would be a completely new product for the company.

Answer:

The best step to take in forecasting initial demand is to use sales volumes of existing products to forecast demand for a new one.

This method is particularly useful since new product is a variation on an existing one involving, for example a new hot breakfast product made from whole grains that would require some minimal preparation by the consumer

Since it is a new product in the line of breakfast cereals, there variations can come in the form of a different color, size or flavor to increase marginal utitlity bearing in mind that the market segment is still the same.

Based on this forecast, you can make sales projections.

Stells [14]

Answer:

The cost of the truck that should be recorded at the time of purchase is $46,639

Paying installment is the best option

Explanation:

In order to Calculate the cost of the truck that should be recorded at the time of purchase we need find out present value of future amount of 60,400 with the following formula:

PV=FV/(1+i)^n

FV = Future value

i = interest rate

n = No of years

By applying the formula = 60,400/(1+.09)^3

PV= $46,639

Therefore, $46,639 should be recorded as a cost of truck.

Paying installment is better option than paying lump sum amount of $28,400 as present value of installment method ($26,322 as per below table) is less than immediate payment amount.

PV of installment method

Year          installment method          PV Factor            PV

1                        10,400                             0.917              9,537

2                       10,400                             0.842             8,757

3                       10,400                             0.772             8,029

                                                                 Total              26,322

A municipal bond carries a coupon of 6.75% and is trading at par. What is the equivalent taxable yield to a taxpayer in a combin
Bingel [31]

Answer:

10.23%

Explanation:

Formula for computation of equivalent taxable yield is r = rm/1-t. Where the tax rate is t, rm is Yield on municipal bond and r is Tax equivalent yield

r = rm/1-t

r = 6.75% / 1 - 34%

r = 6.75% / 0.66%

r = 10.22727272727273%

r = 10.23%

So, the equivalent taxable yield to a taxpayer in a combined federal plus state 34% tax bracket is 10.23%.
