Answer:
D) Usage
Explanation:
Usage barriers or obstacles to use are basically reasons why a customer will cease purchasing a good or service, or might even return a purchased good just after purchasing it. Sometimes enthusiastic customers may falsely believe that a product is easy to handle and use, while it's not, e.g. a Sedgeway that initially had very high sales but then they plummeted. Usage barriers result in high customer churn.
In this case, some users might actually believe that eating a small amount for one day and exercising for a couple of hours will radically change their body structure. The bad thing is that after a few days they will realize that it was all a lie, and they will get either frustrated or mad.
Answer:
$15.17
Explanation:
Given that;
Beginning book value = $4,050,000
Net income = $450,000
Dividends = $100,000
Ending book value = Beginning book value + Net income - Dividends
Ending book value = $4,050,000 + $450,000 - $100,000
Ending book value = $4,400,000
Book value per share = Ending book value / Number of shares
Book value per share = $4,400,000 / 290,000
Book value per share = $15.17
Answer:
$38.14
Explanation:
The yield to maturity on the bond can be computed using the rate formula in excel as shown below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the bond life measured in years which is 10
pmt is the annual coupon payment since the bond zero coupon ,pmt is $0
pv is current price of the bond which is $415.50
fv is the face value of the bond i.e $1000
=rate(10,0,-415.50,1000)=9.18%
implicit interest in dollars for first year=cash proceeds*yield to maturity
cash proceeds which is the same as price of bond is $415.50
implicit interest in dollars=$415.50*9.8%=$38.14
Answer:
13,288
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that industry produced in the core segment is shown below:
It can be determined in two ways i.e.
= 6,444 + 6,444
= 13,288
And, the other method is
= 6,444 × 2
= 13,288
In both the methods, the answer would remain the same
Hence, the 13,288 should be produced by the industry for the next year production
Answer:
Diverstiture or Selling assets from another division to pay for Bryan Food
Explanation:
Divestiture
This is the process of disposing a company's business unit or assets through bankruptcy, closure, exchange or sale for different purposes.
Reasons for DIvestiture
1. To sell off redundant business units - business units that are not being used or not generating income but are incurring expenses can be sold off to get some gains.
2. To generate funds - Selling a business unit for cash is a source of income. This is the choice or last resort of Sara Lee to acquire Bryan Foods
3. To ensure business survival or stability- Can be an option to declaring complete bankruptcy or closing off business completely
4. To increase resale value- Selling individual unit assets of a business is more profitable than selling the organisation assets en-mass or as a whole piece
Sara Lee Corporation and Bryan Foods
Sara Lee already has a variety of industries, apparently from these variety there are those ones that after much consideration could be redundant units or a not generating as much income or profit as expected.
Because Bryan Foods represents 'a tremedous' opportunity, with the potential to make Sara Lee more successful, the last resort is to pick assets or business units in Sara Lee that may be redundant or potentially generate less than Bryan Foods will and sell them in order to acquire Bryan Foods.
This is the last resort for Sara Lee.
