Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": are deliberate and use many informal social contacts.

Explanation:

Sociologist and Professor E.M. Rogers (1931-2004) proposed The Diffusion of Innovations Theory which is a concept that relates several consumers' factors with the time they take to adopt technological innovation. Those influential factors are individuals' opinions and the rate at which they can interact with the innovation. According to the theory, consumers can be classified into five (5) groups:

Innovators: venturesome, higher educated, use multiple information sources.
Early adopters: leaders in a social setting, slightly above average education.
Early majority: deliberate, many informal social contacts.
Late majority: skeptical, below-average social status.
Laggards: fear of debt neighbors and friends are information sources.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

$444.42

Explanation:

For computing the saving amount, first need to calculate the economic order quantity, total cost etc

The economic order quantity is

$= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}$

where,

Annual demand is

= 774 packaging crates × 12 months

= 9,932 crates

And, the carrying cost is

= $12 × 34%

= $4.08

$= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{9,288}\times \text{\$29}}{\text{\$4.08}}}$

= 363.37 crates

Now the total cost is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 363 × $29 + 363 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $742.02 + $740.52

= $1,482.54

Now the total cost in case of 774 packing crates is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 774 × $29 + 774 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $348 + $1,578.96

= $1,926.96

So, the annual saving cost is

= $1,926.96 - $1,482.54

= $444.42

Solve for P = $0.19

d. Calculation of How much is the stock price likely to fall Suppose that the company decides to issue a 10% stock dividend instead of a cash dividend.

$1,000,000 + (1,000,000 * 10%)

$1,000,00+$100,000

= 1,100,000 total shares

Hence,

$20,000,000 / 1,100,000 = $18.18 per share

$20 – 18.18 = $1.82 fall
