What improvements in retailing strategy might be attributed to the results obtained from shopper marketing studies?

Alex17521 [72]

Constant Improvement

Explanation:

"Shopper marketing recognises the way that customers, which are described as brands, customer, retailers and shopkeepers, use their knowledge in multiple channels and platforms and how they are aimed at the benefit of all the stakeholders."

Shopper marketing includes operations divisions, shows, advertising, labelling, advertisements, analysis and commercialisation. The findings from shopper research experiments enable manufacturers and retailers to understand the full process of buying from the pre-store to the moment of buy.

Examples of Shopper Marketing: Maxwell House – After the coffeemaker introduced a new brew, they initiated a massive shopper marketing campaign.

Wal-Mart - Wal-Mart sells more cold/flu medicine than any other retailer.

You plan to buy a house in July 2019. The sale price is $350,000. You need to pay 20% down payments and borrow additional 80% fr

daser333 [38]

So your down payment would be 70,000 (which is 350,000 X .2)

So you would be financing 280,000

Using the payment function

PV= 280,000

R= .036/12

N = 15*12= 180

Your payment would be: 2,015.45

At the beginning of its fiscal year, Lakeside Inc. leased office space to LTT Corporation under a nine-year operating lease agre

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

a.Lakeside's earnings will reduce by $156,000

b. Lakeside's earnings will increase by $20,000.

Explanation:

The rental fee payment per quarter =$39,000.

The rental fee payment per year = $39,000 x 4 = $156,000

In this case, none of the classification criteria of a capital lease is met. Hence, the lease will be recorded as an operating lease and all the four quarterly payments will be recorded as rent expense by LLT. This will reduce LTT's earnings by $156,000.

Lakeside will record all the payments received from LTT as rent revenue since it is an operating lease. Also, because Lakeside is the owner of the asset, she will record depreciation on the asset too.

Thus,

Increase in lakeside's earnings = Rent revenue - Depreciation expense.

Rent revenue = $156,000

Depreciation expense = $3,400,000 / 25 = $136,000

Thus,

Lakeside's earnings will increase by $20,000 (that is , $156,000 - $136,000).

In an eight-hour day Nicolas can catch 24 pounds of fish or he can repair 15 cars. In an eight-hour day Alejandro can catch 27 p

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here Nicolas will gain comparative advantage only when he is selling the good he is specializing in and he would specialize in that good which would have lower opportunity cost for him. So the first step that we have to do here is to find out for which good Nicolas will have lower opportunity cost.

For Nicolas who in 8 hours can either catch 24 pound of fish or repair 15 cars,

the opportunity cost for catching 1 fish is = 15/24 = .625

the opportunity cost for repairing 1 car is = 24/15 = 1.6

So from the above observation we can say that for Nicolas catching fish has lower opportunity cost for him , so he should specialize in catching fish.

Therefore the term of trade for Nicolas would be

1 fish = .625 cars ,

if he can catch and sell 100 units worth of fish then he would have to give up 62.5 cars and then only he will gain from trade,

1 x 100 fish = .625 x 100

100 fish = 62.5 cars.
