Answer:
Identify managers and people with authority to decide the purchase.
Explanation:
When you work with an opportunity to sell an important part of your work, to be able to advance until closing, it is to be able to interview the person or people with the power to decide the purchase.
If you discover during your first interviews that the person with whom you initially contacted does not have the authority or influence over the purchase decision, then you need this person to promote your access to the person with the true power to decide. In many cases this is very easy to achieve, but in other cases, you will need to negotiate access to the sphere of power. The most powerful tool at your disposal to negotiate this access is to have created a vision of the solution to your problems in the mind of your interlocutor. Once you have created a vision of the solution, we can say that this person already has a clear idea about how to solve their problems and improve the current situation of the company. You must become a promoter of your solution within your company and serve as an engine to promote your offer in front of the decision group.
Answer:
a. Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. Whataburger should hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost
Explanation:
a. According to the given data we have the following:
Let "C" is a cashier.
"K" is a kiosk
MPC = 48 (Marginal Product of Cashier)
MPK = 32 (Marginal Product of Kiosk)
PC = $15 (cashier can be hired for a wage of $15)
PK = $12 (Kiosk rents for $12)
At optimal cost minimization point, (MPC / MPK) = (PC / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (MPK / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (48 / 15) = 3.2
(MPK / PK) = (32 / 12) = 2.67
Since the (MPC / PC) and (MPK / PK) is not equal. It implies Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. We have to use the following:
(MPC / PC) > (MPK / PK)
i.e., 3.2 > 2.67
It means Whataburger hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost.
Answer:
(a) Annual dividend = Dividend rate × par value × number of shares outstanding
= 7% × $60 × 40,000
= $168,000
Semi‑annual dividend = 
= 
= $84,000
(b) Annual dividend = Dividend rate × number of shares outstanding
= $5.20 × 171,600
= $892,320
Arrears of $892,320 are owed for last year as well, so the total dividends owed would be:
$892,320 × 2 years
= $1,784,640
(c) Annual dividend = Dividend rate × stated value × number of shares outstanding
= 4.8% × $100 × 445,000
= $2,136,000
Quarterly dividend = =
= 
= $534,000
You will have $2,167 or in total you will have $12,167
