Leslie Bradley is an entrepreneur with a small business in Little Rock, Arkansas. Working with a local engineer/inventor, Leslie

has developed a new cooking device that she thinks will revolutionize cooking. The device is a small oven that is portable and uses a gas injection system to cook meals in a fraction of the time taken in a normal oven. The new system creates a very high temperature and the gas jets are located 360 degrees around the food to be cooked, thus ensuring that the food is cooked equally on all sides. Leslie and the engineer applied for a patent and then immediately sought a relationship with a large manufacturer to produce and distribute the new oven. To her surprise, when she demonstrated it to the top three manufacturers, they all had the same reaction: "We are very interested in this new invention but we would like to see some consumer research that tells us what consumers think about the device." "Will they think the temperature is too high and represents a safety issue?" "Do they really think that a roast cooked in 6 minutes will taste the same as one roasted for 2 hours?" "How much, if any, will they be willing to pay for the added convenience of time savings?" Leslie sought the services of Weber Research, Inc. WRI was an established research firm in the city and they recommended that they use their mall facility in order to conduct some research that allowed consumers to use the device and taste the food cooked in the device. Leslie agreed but was concerned about the types of persons in the shopping mall. "They really won't represent our area since they will likely be mostly female and they will have higher incomes than the general population."
WRI assured Leslie that this could be overcome by using which of the following sampling methods?

A) quota sample
B) purposive sample
C) stratified sample
D) representative sample
E) systematic sample

Answer:

B) quota sample

Explanation:

Remember, Leslie was initially concerned about the types of persons in the shopping mall, who she believed would not represent the research area since they may likely be mostly female and they will have higher incomes than the general population.

However, using Quota sampling method, Weber Research, Inc. could look for consumer that are more likely to use the device and taste the food cooked in the device, this consumers would be divided into quotas or groups having similar characteristics and then a sample would of the population will be researched on.

Mikey W. Smitty, an emerging rapper, is getting ready to cut his first CD, called "Western Rap." He is looking for a production
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

(i) 900 CDs

(ii) Greater than; $1,650

Explanation:

(1) Break-event point will be when the contribution margin from total sales is equal to fixed costs,

Contribution Margin = Selling price - variable cost

                                  = $(21.5 - 9.5)

                                  = $12

Contribution Margin *Number of CDs sold = $10,800

Break-even point for Studio A = 10,800 ÷ 12

                                                    = 900 CDs

(2) Studio A would be more profitable when the extra profit earned from per unit sale of CD exceeds the extra fixed cost given in Studio A.

Extra Contribution margin in Studio A = $(12-10)

                                                               = $2

Extra Fixed cost in Studio A = $(10,800 - 7,500)

                                               = $3,300

Studio A should be chosen if sales is greater than (3300/2) = $1,650.

algol13

Answer:

to enroll in a 401k and investing in the stock market.

Explanation:

According to my research on investment strategies, I can say that based on the information provided within the question their best options to accomplish their goal would be to enroll in a 401k and investing in the stock market. The 401K is a retirement fund that grows over years and the stock market also provides a decent ROI for your money, especially stocks like the S&P 500 which are the safest options and grow steadily over years.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

The sea wharf restaurant would like to determine the best way to allocate a monthly advertising budget of $1000 between newspape
Andreas93 [3]
From what I understood in the problem, the total budget that covers all types of media is only $1,000 per month. For the allocation, each type of media would get at least 25% of the budget. If we infer on this information, there should only be 4 types of media, at least. This is because four 25% portions would equal to 100%. If it exceeds 25% for each of the four types, it would be over the $1000 budget. With that being said, it is also possible that there will be 3 or 2 types of media. Nevertheless, let's just stick to the least assumption of 25% for each of the 4 types.

If local newspaper advertising is one of the four types, then:

$1000(25%) = $250

It would get $250 from the overall budget.

Answer:false

= 0.004947*100

=0.4947%

0.497% is not up to 2%
