Answer:

The answer is: Red Carpet should try to focus on niche market segments.

Explanation:

A niche market is part of a greater market, but its focus is set on very specific products. The niche market has very specific market needs that need to be targeted by very specific products.

Usually niche markets are targeted by high priced products since normal broad range products or services will not satisfy their specific needs. For example, vegan restaurants are more expensive than McDonald's or Pizza Hut.

Since niche markets are small, usually big multinational corporations don't pay attention to them.

Flura [38]

Answer:

36%

Explanation:

For the computation of the company's return on equity first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

Step 1

Earnings before tax = EBIT - Interest

= $452,000 - $152,000

= $300,000

Step 2

Earnings after interest and taxes = Earnings before tax - Tax

= $300,000 - ($300,000 × 40%)

= $300,000 - $120,000

= $180,000

Step 3

Asset turnover ratio = Total revenue ÷ Total assets

3.6 = $4,000,000 ÷ Total assets

Total assets = $1,111,111.11

Step 4

Equity ratio = 1 - Debt ratio

= 1 - 0.55

= 0.45

Step 5

Total Equity = Equity ratio × Total assets

= 0.45 × $1,111,111.11

= $500,000

and finally

Return on Equity = Net income ÷ Equity

= $180,000 ÷ $500,000

= 0.36

or

= 36%

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

A) Price elasticity of demand = 8

B) PED is elastic

C) increase Danny's total revenue

Explanation:

we can calculate the price elasticity of demand using the formula:

PED = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price = [(300 - 100) / 100] / [(1.5 - 2) / 2] = (200 / 100) / (-0.5 / 2) = 2 / 0.25 = 8

if the PED is the same when the price decreases from $1 to $0.50, total revenue will    :

  • when price = $1.50, total revenue = $1.50 x 300 = $450
  • when price = $1, total revenue = $1 x 1,100 = $1,100

*a 33.33% decrease in the price will cause a 266.6% increase (= 33.33% x 8) increase in the quantity demanded = 300 units + (300 x 266.6%) = 300 + 800 = 1,100 units

Juanita receives her paycheck and knows that her gross pay and federal tax are correct. Using the fact that Social Security tax
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

a. The net pay is correct.

Explanation:

Suppose the missing part of the question which is the gross pay and the federal tax is 1020.00 and 107.00 respectively.

Then, Social Security tax 6.2% of the gross pay = \dfrac{6.2}{100}\times 1020

Social Security tax 6.2% of the gross pay  = 0.062 × 1020

Social Security tax 6.2% of the gross pay  = $63.24

the Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay = \dfrac{1.45}{100} \times 1020

the Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay = 0.0145  × 1020

the Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay =  $14.79

the state tax is 19% of federal tax = \dfrac{19}{100} \times 107

the state tax is 19% of federal tax = 0.19 × 107

the state tax is 19% of federal tax = $20.33

Hence, to determine if Juanita's net pay is correct, we have the summation of all our estimated figures minus the gross pay.

i.e

Juanita's net pay = $1020 - $(107 + 63.24 + 14.79 + 20.33)

Juanita's net pay =  $1020 - 205.36

Juanita's net pay =  $814.64
