1 answer:

5 0

The answer to the missing word on the statement above is market focus. When a firm competes in a geographically defined specific are, it is using a market focus. For a business to be market-focused, you have to look outside the company for input and data essential to create strategic and tactical judgements. Market focus means you have to have a great deal of understanding your customers. It also means you have to know your competitors very well, and anticipate their next moves.

olmstead industry has 9.40% coupon bonds outstanding with a price of $1,023.58. interest is paid semiannually and the yield to m

guapka [62]

4.752 years (approximately 4.8 years) The bond would maturity in 4.752 years.

Applying the yield-to-maturity formula

YTM is equal to C + (fv - pv) /n (fv + pv) /2.

9.40% of the par value is the coupon rate C.

= (9.40/100)× 1000

= $94

Face value (par value) is equal to $1,000.

Price = Pv = $1,023.58

Yield to maturity is equal to 0.0880.

n = how many years before maturity?

Using the formula above;

0.0880= 94 + (1000-1023.58)/n ÷ (1000+1023.58)/2

0.0880= 94 + (-23.58)/n ÷ (2023.58)/2

0.0880= 70 + (-23.58)/n ÷ 1011.79

94 - (23.58)/n = 0.0880 × 1011.79

94 - (23.58)/n =89.03752

-23.58 / n =89.03752 - 94

-23.58 / n = -4.96248 ( Cross multiply)

-23.58 = -4.96248n

Add -4.96248 to both sides.

n = 4.752

The maturity period for the bond is 4.752 years (approximately 4.8years)

Alina [70]

Answer:

$21.44

Explanation:

Calculation for the cost per equivalent unit for materials for the month in the first processing department

First step

Units completed and transferred out $7,500

Ending inventory($800+$8,400-$7,500)*70% Ending inventory =1,700*70%

Ending inventory =$1,190

Equivalent units for Materials $8,690

($7,500+$1,190)

Total materials costs $186,300

Second step

Cost per equivalent unit for materials=Total materials costs÷ Equivalent units for Materials

Cost per Equivalent unit for Materials $186,300÷$8,690

Cost per Equivalent unit for Materials=$21.44

Therefore the cost per equivalent unit for materials for the month in the first processing department is closest to $21.44

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Break-even point in dollars= $36,364

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A firm is selling two products, chairs and bar stools, each at $50 per unit. Chairs have a variable cost of $25, and bar stools $20. The fixed cost for the firm is $20,000.

To calculate the break-even point in dollars for the firm, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= Total fixed costs / [(weighted average selling price - weighted average variable expense)/ weighted average selling price]

weighted average selling price= (selling price* weighted sales participation)= $50

weighted average variable cost= (variable cost* weighted sales participation)

weighted average variable cost= (25*0.5 + 20*0.50)= $22.5

Break-even point in dollars= 20,000/ [(50 - 22.5)/ 50]= $36,364

What is the primary disadvantage of outdoor advertising? it provides low flexibility it permits low repeat exposure it provides

nikklg [1K]

The primary disadvantage of outdoor advertising is that it provides little audience selectivity. It is because in outdoor advertising, they try to advertise or make known of their products by placing it on billboards, placing it on vehicles or any exterior places that could be placed on. What makes it have little audience selectivity is that the people who could only notice it is those who could be able to see the advertisement. With that, it makes only few people see it and does not target a lot of consumers.
