Answer:
B) make low-profit customers more profitable
Explanation:
Many banks and phone companies now charge fees for once-free services to ensure minimum customer revenue levels. This helps the banks to make low profit customers more profitable.
The basic logic behind this strategy is that when customers find something coming free, then they start taking it for granted, they don't pay much attention to it, therefore, when the some services are free, customers will not be spending much on them, like upgrading, monthly plan up-gradations, monthly or annual subscriptions. Consequently, to turn the those customers into highly valuable customers, companies charge for the services which were free of cost in the past.
Answer:
$135 Unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of total variance is shown below:-
For computing the total variance first we need to find out the actual price which is below:-
Actual price = Total cost ÷ Actual quantity
= $18,135 ÷ 3,100
= $5.85 pound
Now,
Total variance = Standard quantity × Standard price - Actual quantity × Actual price
= (($2,000 × 1.5) × $6) - 3,100 × $5.85
= 3,000 × $6 - 3,100 × $5.85
= $18,000 - $18135
= $135 Unfavorable.

Giving the following information:
Her income is $50 a week. Hamburgers cost $4, and she consumes 10 of them. She consumes eight grilled cheese sandwiches.
To calculate the price of the grilled cheese sandwiches, we need to use the following equation:

10=8x
$1.25= x= grilled cheese
Answer:
The price of the stock today will be $66.19
Explanation:
To calculate the price of a stock whose dividends will grow at a constant rate forever is calculated using the constant growth model of dividend discount model approach. To calculate the price of the stock today using this model, we use the following formula,
P0 = D1 / r - g
We will first calculate the price of the stock at t=8 using D9 because we use the next period's dividend to calculate the price of a stock. We will then discount back the price at t=8 to today's price.
P8 = 14.25 * (1+0.06) / (0.14 - 0.06)
P8 = $188.8125
The price of the stock today will be,
P0 = 188.8125 / (1+0.14)^8
P0 = $66.189 rounded off to $66.19
