General Mills sold three sizes of cereal cheerios at $2.99, $3.99, and $4.49 each. Selling tactic used by the company is psychology pricing. General Mills used this technique to encourage customers to respond on emotional levels rather than logical ones.

<span>Setting the price of the cereal at $2.99 is proven to attract more consumers than setting it at $3.00, even though the difference is only $.01. Consumers are said to put more attention on the first number on a price tag than the last. </span>

Farrokh and Scheherezade Sharabianlou agreed to buy a building owned by Berenstein Associates for $2 million. They deposited $11
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

This was an actual court case that ended in the Court of Appeals of the First District of California. Initially a lower court had ruled against the Sharabianlous and set extremely high compensations for damages to Berenstein. I do not understand why the court did it since it was proven that the land was contaminated and couldn't be sold under unless cleaned.

Finally, the court of appeals ruled in favor of the Sharabianlous, not because they thought they were right, but due to errors in the original trial.

The big issue in this case was that the contract signed by the Sharabianlous wasn't clear enough about what would happen if the land was not suitable for sale and they also failed to seek a lawyer when the contamination issues became obvious. If you read the case, even the real estate broker acted against the Sharabianlous when the property was appraised since he didn't tell the appraiser about the contamination issues.

The final ruling was made in 2010, 8 years after the parties engaged in the transaction, which gives us an idea of how complicated things can get when legal procedures are not followed, even though the outcome should be obvious.

If I was part of a jury and the case was about property that couldn't be sold due to contamination, I would probably vote in favor of the buyer, not the seller. It's common sense, but sometimes it you do not follow the appropriate legal path, common sense makes no sense at all.

Zack has two savings accounts with a total of $9,000. he withdrew 10% from one and 60% from the other to buy his girlfriend an e
skelet666 [1.2K]
Originally,
Let x = the balance in the first account.
Let y = the balance in the second account.

The total amount in the two accounts is $9,000, therefore
x + y = 9000                      (1)

Zack withdraws 10% of x and 60% of y for a total of $2,175.
Therefore
0.1x + 0.6y = 2175
or
x + 6y = 21750                   (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
x + 6y - (x + y) = 21750 - 9000
5y = 12750
y = 2550
From (1), obtain
x = 9000 - 2550 = 6450

The balance in the first account is
0.9*x = 0.9*6450 = $5,805
The remaining balance in the second account is
0.4*y = 0.4*2550 = $1,020

Answer:
The balance in the first account is $5,805
The balance in the second account is $1,020

Suppose interest rates on residential mortgages of equal risk were 8% in california and 10% in new york. could this differential
Aleks04 [339]

Regional mortgage rate differentials do exist, depending on supply & demand conditions in the different regions. However, high rates in one region would attract capital from other regions, and the end result would be a diffferential that was just sufficient to cover the costs of causing the transfer. Differentials are more likely in the residential mortgage market than the business loan market, and not at all likely for the large, nationwide firms, which do their borrowing in the lowest-cost money centers thereby quickly equalizing rates for large corporate loans. Interest rates are more competitive, making it easier for small borrowers, and borrowers in rural areas, to obtain lower cost loans
