Internet privacy has become a major issue. In fact, in Europe there are privacy laws to limit how much information websites can

collect from users without their permission. The United States does not have comparable laws to protect consumer privacy on the Internet. Collecting this information is beneficial for firms because then they can tailor marketing messages that better fit its users' needs. These better marketing campaigns can provide them with a competitive advantage. Acme Corporation uses cookies and other devices to collect information. Its privacy policy explicitly informs users that it collects information. However, most people do not read through the policy. Lately, some consumers have complained because they are worried that their information could be compromised. They question the security of the site. Acme wants to restore confidence and prove that it has controls in place. Refer to Scenario 3.2. What type of environmental force does this issue involve?

Which demand situation occurs when a competitor offers a similar product or service at a lower price?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Falling demand

Explanation:

Falling demand refers to a situation where the sales volume of a good or service is on a continuous decline compared to the previous seasons. Consumers are no longer finding that particular product or service appealing to buy. Falling or declining is also referred to as faltering demand.

The introduction of a similar product by competitors at a lower price may lead to a decline in demand for the existing goods. Customers will prefer the new cheaper product. As a result, the more expensive and old product will experience falling demand.

How would the number of firms competing in a particular market affect the likelihood that an exporter to that market would be ac
professor190 [17]

Answer:

We can assume companies form country A export to country B. Country B's economy is very large and many domestic and foreign firms compete in it. High levels of competition will eventually lower the costs of products sold in a market, so the products sold in Country B have relatively low prices.

In order for foreign companies to compete in country B's market they must have low prices. So companies from country A will sell its products in country B at low prices, increasing the possibility that the price of their exports are lower than their domestic prices (prices for their own country). Therefore the chance for a dumping accusation increases.

Use the information from the balance sheet and income statement below to calculate the following ratios:
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

a. Current Ratio  = current assets / current liabilities = 190,000 / 153,000 = 1.24

b. Acid-test ratio  = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities = (190,000 - 50,000) / 153,000 = 0.92

c. Times interest earned  = EBIT / interest expense = 65,000 / 8,000 = 8.13

d. Inventory turnover  = COGS / inventory = 90,000 / 50,000 = 1.8

e. Total asset turnover  = net sales / total assets = 210,000 / 525,000 = 0.4

f. Operating profit margin  = operating income / total sales = 65,000 / 210,000 = 0.31

g. Days in receivables  = (accounts receivables / total sales) x 365 = (30,000 / 210,000) x 365 =  52.14 days

h. Operating return on assets  = operating income / total assets = 65,000 / 525,000 = 0.12

i. Debt ratio  = total liabilities / total assets = 273,000 / 525,000 = 0.52

j. Fixed asset turnover  = total sales / fixed assets = 210,000 / 335,000 = 0.63

k. Return on equity = net income / total equity = 45,030 / 252,000 = 0.18

Alfred owned a term life insurance policy at the time he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. After paying $18,300 in premiums
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

Alfred paid in premiums = $18,300

company paid Alfred = $125,000

Alfred died after 18 months, then,

Company collected the face amount of the policy = $150,000

Sale of policy = [ company compensation - premium paid]

                       = $125,000 - $18,300

                       = $106,700

In this situation, Alfred receives the submission price from the insurance company consequential in profit.

There is no gain in the income of the insurance policy that is purchased by the Alfred for the long term.

That's why he is not required to include the amount of sale of policy i.e. $106,700.

Hence, Alfred required to include in his gross income will be zero ($0).

Over [174]

= (Fixed costs + Budgeted profit) / Contribution margin

Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost

= 40 - (14 + 8 + 5)

= 40 - 27

= $13

Number of lawn-mowers required:

= (140,000 + 120,000) / 13

= 20,000 lawn mowers
