ABC, a chain of candy stores, purchases its candy in bulk from its suppliers. For a recent shipment, the company paid $1,500 and
spin [16.1K]

Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Amount paid for candy = $1,500

Items received = 8,500 pieces of candy

Group 1 =  2,500 pieces

Selling price = $0.15 each

sale value = pieces sold × Selling price

                 = 2,500 ×  $0.15 each

                 = $375

Group 2 = 5,500 pieces

Selling price = $0.36 each

sale value = pieces sold × Selling price

                 = 5,500 ×  $0.36 each

                 = $1,980

Group 3 = 500 pieces

Selling price = $0.72 each

sale value = pieces sold × Selling price

                 = 500 ×  $0.72 each

                 = $360

Total sale value = $375 + $1,980 + $360

                           = $2,715

Percentage\ of\ sale\ in\ Group\ 2=\frac{Sale\ value}{Total\ sale\ value}\times 100

Percentage\ of\ sale\ in\ Group\ 2=\frac{1,980}{2,715}\times 100

= 72.92%

Proportion of cost for Group 2 = cost × Percentage of sale in Group 2

                                                   = $1,500 × 72.92%

                                                   = $1,093.8

cost\ per\ unit= \frac{cost}{total\ units}

cost\ per\ unit= \frac{1,093.8}{5,500}

= $0.1988

= $0.20(approx)

Jennifer North has asked you, as a potential consultant for Wearable Wishes, to prepare document that summarizes your preliminar
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

WHY should Wearable Wishes (WW) compete with Zara especially in it's U.S. Market Base?

  1. Should Zara succeed in taking over most or all of the market share in the  US, this would negatively impact Zara whilst strenghtening Zara to compete against WW in other markets. All they need do is modify their strategy to suit the demographics and psychograhics of the other markets where WW is present.
  2. Zara's US market is huge. Besides, if it's accepted there, the chances are that it will be accepted in other markets globally.

Therefore, WW's interest in the US must be preserved by initiating and sustaining strong competition against Zara for the US market.

HOW The best place to start from would be to execute a SWOT analysis for both companies if possible. WW should be concerned about how it can leverage a combination of its strengths and opportunities to outsmart Zara and woo the market over to its side whilst reducing or minimizing its weaknesses.

Another tool that will be very relevant in the above excercise is the Potters 5 Forces Framework/Analysis.

The above tool looks at competitive rivalry from the following perspectives:

  1. The ease with which potential competition can enter the market
  2. The influence of suppliers in the industry
  3. Substitute goods
  4. The influence of buyers in the industry

One key advantage that WW has over Zara is that Zaras offerings are limited to: Men, Women, Kids, Shoes and Bags. WW, on the other hand, provides all the above and more. Their include: Toys, threats and even animal items.

Cheers!

Assume the total cost of a college education will be $184,061 when your child enters college in 19 years. You presently have $49
Leni [432]

Answer:

Interest rate = 0.9313

Explanation:

Future value or the cost of edcuation after 19 years = $184061

Present value, money in hand at present = $49327

Time period, n = 19

Future value = Present value (1 + r)²

184061 = 49327 (1 + r )²

(1 + r )² = 184061 ÷ 49327

(1 + r )² = 3.73

(1 + r) = √3.73

(1 + r) = 1.9313

r = 1.9313 - 1

r = 0.9313

Or Interest rate = 0.9313
