B) make low-profit customers more profitable
C) enhance the growth potential for each customer through cross-selling
D) increase the longevity of the customer relationship
E) focus disproportionate effort on high-value customers
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:
The answer is: 5 hours 20 minutes; 4 Trucks
Explanation:
Each truck has a 16 minute window to pick up and dump the coal. This process can be observed as an assembly line where each stage of production is the stages of coal transport. When Truck A is travelling to the dump site, Truck B can be loading the coal. When Truck B is travelling to the dump site and Truck A is dumping the coal, Truck C would be loading the coal. When Truck A is travelling to the loading area, Truck B dumping the coal and Truck C travelling to the dump site, Truck D would be loading the coal. Once Truck A gets to the loading area, Truck D would be on its way to the dump site and so on. In each 16 minute window 88 tons of coal (22 tons * 4) is picked up and dumped, that is, 22 tons every 4 minutes. Given that there are 1, 760 tons of coal, the total time taken to dump all the coal is equal to 320 minutes:
88 tons = 16 minutes (22 tons dumped every 4 minutes)
1, 760 tons = (1760 tons * 16)/88 tons = 320 minutes
320 minutes/ 60 minutes = 5 hours 20 minutes
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The first part was true. A higher WACC results in a lower NPV simply because a higher discount rate results in a lower present value.
E.g. 100 / (1 + 6%)³ = 83.96, but if we increase r to 10%, then 100 / (1 + 10%)³ = 75.13
The second part is wrong because under the IRR method, the decision rule is very simple, all projects are accepted if their IRR is higher than the project's WACC (or discount rate). I.e. if hte project's WACC increases, so does the chance of the project being rejected because the IRR might be lower than the WACC.
Answer:
d.) $38,000
Explanation:
Given that
Acquired value of the plant = $190,000
Recovery period = 5 years
So according to section 179, the total deduction is limit to the 1 by 5 i.e useful life or recovery period of acquired price or purchase price
So, the amount is
= Acquired value of the plant ÷ recovery period
= $190,000 ÷ 5 years
= $38,000
By dividing the acquired value with the recovery period we can get the maximum deduction
