1.which of the following groups would you not send a persuasive business letter to?

stepladder [879]

<h3>1. Answer:</h3><h2>D. Vendors</h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

Persuasive business letters are letters written in great detail which describes in length the strategies, practices, and tools required in order to reach a certain goal. These letters are considered official paperwork that represents your personality. Which is why they are sent out to official business partners as well as potential clients/users so as to detail your plan to them. Vendors do not need to know the inner workings and practices which is why they are excluded from the list.

<h3>2. Answer:</h3><h2> C. Convincing readers that the action you propose in easy.</h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

The AIDA format is a widely used marketing practice that stands for Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action. Of these 4 phases, the action phase entails all the information that the reader needs in order to properly understand the actions needed in order to either make a purchase or at the very least to fully make the intention of making a purchase. Which is why the language used needs to be convincing so as to make the reader as comfortable as possible.

<h3>3. Answer:</h3><h2>A. builds desire by emphasizing how inexpensive the solution is</h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

The AIDA format is a widely used marketing practice that stands for Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action. Through this letter, the objective is to convince the reader to feel the need, or desire, to make the purchase. Which is why great emphasis is put on the solution itself and how easy it is to implement. This can be done via showing how inexpensive it is, like in this case, or how easily implementable it is through other means. But regardless of the reason, it must emphasize and entice the reader into realizing how much they want the product.

<h3>4. Answer: </h3><h2>A. please return the enclosed coupon by June 15 for your free oil and filter change. </h2><h3>Explanation: </h3>

It is widely believed that the best way to make a concluding statement is to give the reader an incentive to reply, without setting very strict deadlines or conditions. As in the case above, the correct answer choice provides the reader with an incentive to answer by the 15th of June. Unlike the other options which either do not make the incentive clear to the reader or provide no incentive at all, the correct choice is tailored towards that specific reader and makes the message very clear.

<h3>5. Answer: </h3><h2>C. logical, emotional </h2><h3>Explanation: </h3>

The objective of a persuasive message is to entice and convince the reader. Which is why it is very important to make the reader fully understand the product, realize its need and evaluate its affordability and/or feasibility. The best way to achieve this result is to form a logical argument so that the client fully understands both the need of the product and its uses, as well as, provide an emotional backing to that logical argument stating how much better they'd be through its use. Thereby fully captivating the reader.

<h3>6. Answer: </h3><h2>C. quickly getting to the point of the message </h2><h3>Explanation: </h3>

In writing a persuasive message, the structure of the message is very important. Rather than blurting out as much information in a small amount of time, or conversely, giving very little information, the best option is to provide an appropriate amount with proper structure. Which is why things like using positive language, being mindful of one's culture and heritage, and building credibility are important.

<h3>7. Answer: </h3><h2>B. emphasizing how horrible your company's customer service department is </h2><h3>Explanation: </h3>

While writing a persuasive message it is imperative to focus on what you and your company is best at and to play at your strengths. Mentioning the weaknesses and shortcomings of your company will almost always lead to a detrimental effect on the reader. Which is why it is a good practice to provide solutions and workarounds for any issue that may arise, rather than highlighting faults and thereby losing clients.

<h3>8. Answer: </h3><h2>D. By as many types and as much information as possible </h2><h3>Explanation: </h3>

The purpose of marketing and sales letters is to provide the reader with any and every way that the product can be used to solve a problem, and how it can be put to use. For this purpose, the reader needs to know all the types of products and all relevant information so they can make the decision of whether it helps them with their problems or not.

<h3>9. Answer: </h3><h2>D. Attention, interest, desire, action </h2><h3>Explanation: </h3>

This one is pretty self-explanatory. AIDA is a marketing model that is used to detail all the steps involved in the decision-making process of the consumer. It starts from where the consumer first hears of it (Attention), to the specific steps required in order to help the consumer make the decision of buying the product (Action). This is one of the longest and most widely used models in marketing.

Has anyone done the managing payroll quiz for Personal Finance on connexus???

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

a) withholdings

b) deductions

c) payroll register

d) methods of paying employees

e) commission

f) specific required deductions

g) hourly rate

h) voluntary deductions

i) Salary

j) standard deductions

Explanation:

A)

Withholdings are the amount that is associated with the payroll deductions from an employee's gross wages. The employer does not include withholdings in the employee's paycheck. Instead of adding it to the salary, the amount is transferred to the federal, state, or local government or tax authorities. It also decreases the tax that an employee has to pay during the yearly tax return.

B)

When an employer withholds any amount from an employee's gross salary, such as taxes, insurance, wage responsibilities, saving plans, and child support payments, it refers to deductions. The payroll deduction is also known as involuntary deductions because the employer is withholding the amount. Those deductions are legally deductible; therefore, it is automatic deductions.

C)

A list of periodic reports that enlist the hourly wages, additionals, gross pay, deductions, net pay, and the date of payrolls refers to the payroll register. More precisely, it is a summary of each employee's paycheck throughout a period. It starts with the current quarter's or month's total hourly wages and ends with the net pay of the employee.

D)

The commission is the percentage paid to an employee for his or her additional service provided for the company. For example, a company asks an employee to produce anything over 500 shirts per week will receive 10% additions, if the employee contributes in 510 shirts, he will receive an extra payment, it is commission. The hourly rate is the amount paid to the employee per hour. The salary is the monthly or weekly amount paid to an employee for his periodic contribution towards a business.

E)

The commission is the portion given to an employee for his or her supplementary service rendered for the company. For example, a manager of a firm urges the sales representative to sell $10,000 per month to receive an extra 10% of the total sales. If the sales representative sells $10,000 or more, he will receive an additional fee as a percentage. That percentage refers to the commission.

F)

Specific payroll deduction means deduction from paycheck to meet the obligations of income tax and other required duties. Every individual and corporation whose income is taxable is obliged to pay a tax. In the case of specific payroll deduction, an employee is legally obligated to withhold this money from an employee's payroll check based on federal and state laws. But specifically required deduction is not only used for tax provisions but also used for employee-related benefits like health insurance and short time disability plans that are offered by the employer.

G)

According to the Cambridge dictionary, hourly rate means the amount of money that is charged, paid, or earned for every hour worked. An employer is bound to pay a minimum hourly wage to the employee. It is one of the critical issues as many workers work as a part-time job. Since it is not a fixed job, so monthly or weekly payment is not applicable here. To adjust the amount for every type of employment, whether it is a permanent or temporary hourly rate of wage, is the best solution.

H)

When any deductions from employees salary or wages are not legally binded, those deductions are termed as Voluntary deductions. Voluntary deduction does not need any imposition of law. As it is not legally required, it is offered by the employer for employee's acceptance. This kind of deduction may include health, accident, disability, retirement plans; flexible spending accounts such as parking and transit costs; union dues; and deductions for paycheck advances and other company-sponsored benefits.

I)

Salary is most commonly known as compensations paid by the employer to an employee in return for required job performance. Salary generally paid in fixed intervals for an individual's performance. The intervals may be weekly, monthly, etc. and these are set up by a mutual contract between employer and employee. Salary mainly includes base pay and other benefits, bonuses, or rises. Salary mainly gives security towards the employee as it is fixed payment for their work performances.

J)

Standard deduction means deduction of some amount of money from the total amount of income to reduce total taxable income. In short, it means a portion of income that is not subject to tax. The amount of one's standard deduction depends on one's filing status, age, or whether one is disabled or claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return. But all the taxpayers are not qualified to enjoy this provision. Nonresident husbands and wives, married people filing separately whose spouses itemized, and trusts and estates cannot entertain this benefit.
