Answer:
customers' perceptions of products.
Explanation:
Positioning maps are also called perception maps they are visual representation used by marketers to show perception of customers or potential customers. Positioning is based mainly in customer perception and not in what the company feels will be the best for the customer.
For example a company may feel that their products are high quality and will target the upper class, but if customers perceive the product as low quality sales will be low.
Positioning maps also show where a business stands in relation to competitors in the market, and can be used to identify profitable alliances or partnerships.
<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
GDP is calculated as follows:
Y = C + G + I + NX
where
C = Consumption
G = Government Expenditure
I = Investment
NX = Net Exports
It is mentioned that in 2015, GDP was 50 million and in 2016, it was 48 million without any change in the factors except NX. It means the net exports that is the difference between export and the import of the country has changed and it has fallen by 2 million.
Answer:Please refer to the explanation section
Explanation:
The question is incomplete, amounts of production costs like Direct Material, direct labour and Variable/Fixed manufacturing overheard were not given, we will explain the absorption cost and variable cost in detail so that the student would be able to calculate absorption cost and variable cost balances easier.
Absorption costing Method
Total Manufacturing costs are allocated to Finished goods Product. Absorption Costing method assigns or allocates the total cost of Manufacturing or total production costs to units of Finished Goods produced. each unit of finished goods thus represents total costs of production per unit or Total Manufacturing/Production cost is the Balance of Finished Goods.
Total Manufacturing/Production cost = direct labor cost + direct material cost + variable and fixed Manufacturing overheads cost.
Finished Goods Balance = Total Manufacturing/Production cost
A unit of Finished Goods = Total Manufacturing costs/units produced
Variable costing method
Variable costing method fixed manufacturing costs are treated as an expense, Variable Manufacturing costs are the only allocated to inventory. The value or Balance of inventory consist of Variable Manufacturing cost like Direct labor, Direct Material and Variable Manufacturing costs. Finished Goods Balance equals total Variable Manufacturing cost

Answer:
You need to save $4,012.45 each year
Explanation:
Pertiuty in 20 years is $50,000.
So the amount must be in account after 30 years saving to enough for above pertiuty is calculated as below:
= $50000/(1+8%)+ $50000/(1+8%)^2+......+$50000/(1+8%)^20
= $50,000 * Annuity Factor ( 1-20 years) of 8%
=$50000*9.818
= $490,907
To have $490,907 (FV) in account after 30 years (tenor), now you have save an amount each year (PMT) calculated as below:
$490,907 = PMT*(1+8%)^30+....PMT*(1+8%)^2 + PMT*(1+8%)
= PMT * Discount Factor ( 1-30 years) of 8%
$490,907 = PMT * 122.346
-> PMT = $490,907/ 122.346
= $4,012.45
