Answer: Innovators.
Explanation:
The Diffusion Process defines how new products are able to spread across a market.
It does this by using the Adoption Process to determine the various groups in the market and how fast the product gets to those groups. There are 5 groups in total.
- Innovators
- Early Adopters
- Early Majority
- Late Majority
- Laggards.
In the above scenario, the Mouse Potatoes would be the Innovators. These are the first buyers of a product and as such their opinions are very important as they then tell others how useful the product is. Mouse Potatoes regularly browse the net looking for the latest in "techno-entertainment", so they can buy or use it first thus making them Innovators.
Answer:
This is an actual court case where the Supreme Court of Rhode Island ruled in favor of Cox Communications in February, 2014.
The court ruled that Ovalles was an employee for M&M, and that M&M had an independent contractor relationship with Cox Communications. Additionally, Ovalles was also an independent contractor for M&M, not an employee. There existed no direct relationnship between Cox and Ovalles.
Even though Ovalles and other independent contractors use both Cox's and M&M's logos on their vans and uniforms, this was done so consumers could identify them. The fact that an identification is needed so customers can determine the function of a technician, doesn't imply that those technicians are actually employees of the firm nor they actually a method of control over the technicians.
Since Cox didn't control the performance of Ovalles and didn't have contact with him, then there was no reason to consider him an employee of Cox.
The plaintiff, Barbara Cayer probably made a mistake when it included Cox in the lawsuit (since it is a large company), and she would have had a better case against M&M because that company did have control over Ovalles's performance and did have contact with him. But since M&M was a much smaller firm, they decided to go after the big fish. Later they tried to include M&M into the lawsuit but it was rejected since the Supreme Court had not made their ruling yet.
Answer:
The price of the stock today is $80.00
Explanation:
The price of a stock whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate is calculated by the constant growth model of the DDM. The price of a stock under DDM is based on the present value of the expected future dividends that the stock will pay. The formula for price under this model is,
P0 = D1 / r - g
Where,
- D1 is the dividend expected for the next period
- r is the required rate of return
- g is the growth rate in dividends
P0 = 1.6 / (0.05 - 0.03)
P0 = $80.00
Answer:
a) Transactions occur, Source documents are prepared, Transaction analysis, Transaction is journalized and posted
Explanation:
We should consider that the client comes first in a business model.
Thus, we need somethign torecord first. so the first event is the transactions.
Then the customer will require a doccument to back it up. We cannot delay their request and tell them to wait until we analyze the transaction or do the journal entry. <u>We give the receipt to the customer.</u>
Now, the last two are more easy in order to know how to journalize we must analysis the transactions.
This tought makes option A the correct one.
Answer:
PV= $7593.12
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
We have 19 equal payments of $41,000 at a rate of 9 %, compounded annually. We need to find the present value.
First, we need to calculate the final value with the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {41,000*[[1.09^19)-1]}/0.09= $1,886,756.79
Now, we can calculate the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 1886756.79/1.09^64= $7593.12
