Answer:
Option E
Explanation:
A direct transfer refers to the shift of funds from certain form or section of a tax deferred retirement savings plan to another. Direct payments are not deemed to be statutory dividends, and are therefore not taxed as profits or susceptible to premature payment charges. Now normally this form of transition happens digitally.
In simple terms, cash loans exist when a company sells its shares in return for money specifically to the savers. There is no financial institution involved in this procedure. Small firms typically use direct transfers, so very less money is generated during this phase.
Answer:
a. 8.24%
Explanation:
The formula to compute the effective annual rate of the loan is shown below:
= (1 + nominal interest rate ÷ periods)^ number of period - 1
= (1 + 8% ÷ 4)^4 - 1
= (1 + 2%)^4 - 1
= 1.02^4 - 1
= 8.24%
As the interest rate is made on a quarterly basis and we know that there are four quarters in a year and we take the same in the computation part

Explanation:
<u>a) Branding strategy recommendation</u>
The branding strategy they should opt is a multi-branding strategy, in which a company's objective is to market more than one product and/or brand under the same hood in order to increase their overall market share. This strategy is somewhat used by other known car manufacturers such as Toyota (Lexus), Honda (Acura) etc.
<u></u>
<u>b) Branding strategy trade-offs</u>
The trade-off with this strategy is that the attention of Ferrari would be diverted from their main market segment and therefore, they will not be providing new products to the luxury market.
This will give the other companies in the same market segment the opportunity to increase their market share in the same segment.
<u>c) Opinion on the trading-down strategy</u>
It is fairly a risk for Ferrari to opt for the trading down strategy. This is due to the fact that their main market and objective is the luxury market to buy their expensive cars. Focusing on the new strategy could hurt their brand equity and this may impact their loyal buyers.
However, such could be avoided if they market this strategy with a foreign brand name and promote the name under the Ferrari hood by saying that the foreign brand has been designed by the Ferrari. Keeping the original Ferrari name and objective separate from this brand.
Answer:
d. Matt's statement is positive while Jean's statement is normative
Explanation:
A positive statement can be defined as any statement that is typically based on empirical evidence and as such can be tested, proven and verified. Also, a positive statement can be amended or rejected based on evidences that are available.
On the other hand, a normative statement can be defined as any statement that can't be tested, proven or verified because it is judgmental and based on opinions.
In this scenario, Matt observes that "there is a high correlation between educational attainment and the level of income." Jean concurs and adds that "high school graduates should all proceed to college"
Hence, Matt's statement is positive because it is an observation based on empirical evidence while Jean's statement is normative because it's simply his opinion or a value judgment.
