Answer:

Jamal

Explanation:

Given that

Number of required slides = 50 slides

Creating slides Per hour = 15 slides

Bill amount per hour = $750

So by considering the above information, Bette's opportunity cost of creating slides would be

= Bill amount per hour ÷ creating slides per hour

= $750 ÷ 15 per hour

= $50

For making 50 slides, the opportunity cost would be

= $50 × 50 slides

= $2,500

And, Jamal opportunity cost is 30% lower, so it would be

= $50 - $50 × 30%

= $50 - $15

= $35

And, the billing rate is 25% higher, so it would be

= $750 + $750 × 25%

= $750 + $187.50

= $937.50

So in one hour, it would be

= $937.50 ÷ 35 slides

= 26 slides

Based on the creating slides, the Jamal gains a competitive advantage over Bette

Penetration evaluation could be a strategy utilized by businesses to draw in customers to a brand-new product or service by giving a cheaper price ab initio.

The cheaper price helps a brand-new product or service penetrate the market and attract customers far from competitors.

EDLP is related to Walmart because the company has used it systematically in its selling. As an evaluation strategy, Walmart founder SAM Walton used EDLP once gap his initial stores.

In a predatory evaluation theme, area unit costs are set low to drive out competitors and build a monopoly. Shoppers could enjoy lower costs in the short term. However, they suffer if the theme succeeds in eliminating competition, as this could trigger an increase in costs and a decline in selection.

Carla Heinz is a portfolio manager for Deutsche Bank. She is considering two alternative investments of EUR10,000,000. Either sh

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The euro return to investing directly in euros is 180 5% 10% 360   = ×  ÷   , so the euros available in 180 days is EUR10,000,000 × 1.05 = EUR10,500,000. Alternatively, the EUR10,000,000 can be converted into Swiss francs at the spot rate of EUR1.1960/CHF. The Swiss francs purchased would equal EUR10,000,000 / EUR1.1960/CHF = CHF8,361,204. This amount of Swiss francs can be invested to provide a 180 4% 8% 360   = ×  ÷   return over the next 180 days. Hence, interest plus principal on the Swiss francs is CHF8,361,204 × 1.04 = CHF8,695,652. If we sell this amount of Swiss francs forward for euros at the 180-day forward rate of EUR1.2024/CHF, we get a euro

return of CHF8,695,652 ×EUR1.2024/CHF = EUR10,455,652. This is less than the return from investing directly in euros.If these were the actual market prices, you should expect investors to do covered interest arbitrages. Investors would borrow Swiss francs, which would tend to drive the CHF interest rate up; they would sell the Swiss francs for euros in the spot foreign exchange market, which would tend to lower the spot rate of EUR/CHF; they would deposit euros.

A broker moves his office without telling the FREC where he is moving. Two weeks later, a seller comes in and lists his property

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, it can be said that Yes the seller can refuse to pay the broker a commission. This is because the broker's license ceases to be in force when the broker changes his address without notifying the FREC within 10 days. Therefore, since the broker moved and did not notify the FREC where he moved to, and did not register his new address then the seller is within his rights to refuse payment to the broker.

Answer:

Pack-and-Go

1. From a financial perspective, Pack-and-Go should invest in the new technology. It will enjoy a contribution margin of 97.5%.

2. The break-even increase in annual revenue that would justify the investment in the new technology is:

Fixed cost = Contribution

$80,000 = Contribution - $8,000

= $72,000 ($80,000 - $8,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Expected cost of new technology investment = $80,000

Delivery performance:

Decision Alternative

After Implementing

Item Current System New Technology

On-time delivery rate 80% 95%

Variable cost per package lost

or damaged $30 $30

Allocated fixed cost per

package lost or damaged $10 $10

Annual number of packages

lost or damaged 300 100

Variable cost for lost or

damaged packages $9,000 (300*$30) $3,000 (100*$30)

Fixed cost for lost or

damaged packages 3,000 (300*$10) $1,000 (100*$10)

Total cost for lost or

damaged packages $12,000 $4,000

Increase in the on-time performance rate = 95% - 80% = 15%

Increase in annual Revenue = $10,000 * 15 = $150,000

Savings from lost or damaged packages = 8,000 ($12,000 - $4,000)

Total savings from new technology = $158,000

Annual cost of new technology = (80,000)

Net savings from new technology = $78,000

Contribution margin based on net savings = $78,000/$80,000 * 100 = 97.5%

Average contribution margin = 40%
