Answer:

b. Job A

Explanation:

The calculation of choosing the job is given below;

Expected payoff for Job B is

= 0.50 × $12 + 0.50 × $18

= $6 + $9

= $15

And,

The Payoff from job A is $15 with certainty

Now we assume that Jim would be a risk-averse person that selects the thing i.e. sure

So he should choose Job A only

Hence, the correct option is b.

you plan to deposit $1,500 quarterly for 35 years at 7% interest, compounded monthly. how much will you have in the account in 3
VikaD [51]

After 35 years, you will have $911,053.82 in the account.

This is based on a quarterly deposit of $1,500 per year for a period of 35 years at 7% interest, monthly compounded.

Data and Calculations:

Quarterly Deposit = $1,500

Number of years = 35 years

N (# of periods) = 140 (35 x 4)

I/Y (Interest per year) = 7% (0.583% per month)

PV (Present Value)  = 0

Quarterly PMT (Periodic Payment) =  1500

P/Y (# of periods per year) = 4

C/Y (# of times interest compound per year) = 12

PMT made at the of each period

Results:

Future Value = $911,053.82

Sum of all periodic payments = $210,000.00 ($1,500 x 140)

Total Interest = $701,053.82 ($911,053.82 - $210,000)

Thus, after 35 years, the account will have a balance of $911,053.82.

irina1246 [14]

Answer: d. Dynamic pricing strategy

Explanation:

The companies mentioned above are increasingly turning towards Dynamic pricing in order to maximize sales and therefore increase profitability.

Dynamic pricing refers to a strategy where goods are priced at the optimal price based on the conditions at the time. In other words, it involves trying to sell at a price that is cheapest for the customer based on factors such as consumer willingness to pay, competition and others.

Prices can therefore change multiple times in as little a period as a day just to ensure that customers buy the goods being offered.

Contribution Margin=Sales - variable cost =$8.75-$3.50=$5.25

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin / Sales = $5.25/ $8.75=60%

Pre-Tax Net Income=Net Income/(1-tax rate)

$117,600/(1-0.36)=$183,750

Target Revenue =Fixed cost +Target Pre-Tax net Income/Contribution margin Ratio =($430,500+$183,750)/0.6=$1,023,750

2. Number of customers needed to Break Even

Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit=$430,500/$5.25=82,000 Customers

Number of customers to earn 117,600 = (Fixed costs + 117,600)/5.25 = (430,500+117,600)/5.25 = 104,400

3.  

Sales (170,000*8.75)   1,487,500
