d. Both Ted and Kate are entitled to the dividend.
Explanation:
There are 3 important dates when a corporation declares a dividend:
- The declaration date: in this case June 20th. It is the date when the corporation declares that it will pay a certain cash dividend.
- The date of record: the date of record is one day after the ex-dividend date, which means that the stockholders that the stock until the ex-dividend date will be entitled to receive the dividend. The stockholders that purchase the stock on the record date or any date after the ex-dividend date, will not be entitled to receive the dividend. In this case, the ex-dividend date was July 11th, and both Ted and Kate purchased the stocks before that date.
- The date of payment: the actual date when the dividends are distributed, in this case, August 1st.
Suppose that Ray-Ban is considering a new line of sunglasses that would be sold in major department
stores. The new line would be positioned as a more distinctive brand than the typical glasses sold
through department stores, and would be priced higher than other brands in the store, but a lower price
line than the current Ray-Ban lines that are sold through more selective stores. In determining the price
for this sunglass line, Ray-Ban wants to gather information about all brands sold in department stores
<span>and about customers' perceptions of those brands.
</span><span>Given Ray-Ban's plan for positioning the new sunglass line, they should use a <span>price skimming strategy when introducing their new product.
</span></span><span>Price skimming is a pricing strategy in which a marketer sets a relatively high initial price for a product or service at first, then lowers the price over time. It is a temporal version of price discrimination/yield management.</span>
Answer:
Different aspects to be considered:
First of all, the steakhouse probably has the most clients between 6 to 8 PM, that is why discounts are not offered during that time.
Second, the discount is offered to only a certain group, employees of other stores, because it is a promotional strategy aimed at increasing the number of clients during slow hours. Since this is a fancy place, it is probably expensive also. Most employees would not actually eat there except on a special event, e.g. birthday or anniversary dinner. Even with the 20% discount, not many of them will actually eat there.
This is something nice to offer, since a shopping mall is a close environment where a lot of different people work together, even if very few will actually take the offer. It is normal that different stores have distinct promotions for the employees that work there. It is similar to offering perks that help create a better working environment between the employees of different stores.

Explanation:
This question has some irregularities. The correct question should be :
Elinore is asked to invest $4,900 in a friend's business with the promise that the friend will repay $5,390 in one year's time. Elinore finds her best alternative to this investment, with similar risk, is one that will pay her $ 5,341 in one year's time. U.S. securities of similar term offer a rate of return of 7%. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this case?
Solution
Given from the question
Investment (I) = $4,900
Return on investment (ROI) in one year = $5,341
Rate or opportunity cost of capital r is given by
ROI = I × (1 + r)
input the given data
$5,341 = $4,900 (1 + r)
$5,341 = $4,900 + $4,900r
$5,341 - $4,900 = $4,900r
r = ($5,341 - $4,900) / $4,900
r = 0.09
Or 9% in percentage
