Identify the percent increase in total sales and the percent increase in sales of trench coats. Then find which percent of incre
geniusboy [140]

The percentage increase in the total sales for 2006 is 15% while the increase in sales of the trench coats is 23.3%; therefore the percentage increase in total sales of trench coats is 8.3% faster.

Computation:

1. The total amount of sales for 2006 and 2007:

\begin{aligned}\text{Sales of 2006}&=103+297+210+213+137\\&=960\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}\text{Sales of 2007}&=127+223+210+285+259\\&=1104\end{aligned}

2. Now, the percentage increase will be determined for the total number of coats and trench coats:

For the total number of coats, the values used will be the total sales of 2006, and total sales of 2007.

\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Increase}&=\dfrac{\text{Sales of 2007}-\text{Sales of 2006}}{\text{Sales of 2006}}\times100\\&=\dfrac{1104-960}{960}\times100\\&=15\%\end{aligned}

For the trench coats the values used will be the sale of trench coats in 2006 and 2007.

\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Increase in Sale of Trench Coat}&=\dfrac{\text{Sales of 2007}-\text{Sales of 2006}}{\text{Sales of 2006}}\times100\\&=\dfrac{127-103}{103}\times100\\&=23.33\%\end{aligned}

3. Now, the  net percentage increase in sales due to the trench coats is computed as follows:

\begin{aligned}\text{Net Percentage Change}&=\text{\text{Percentage Increase in Trench Coat}-\text{Percentage Increase}}\\&=23.33\%-15\%\\&=8.3\%\end{aligned}

Therefore, the correct option is option B. Sales of trench coats increased 8. 3 percentage points faster than total coat sales.

What would happen to the buying power of your investment after one year if your rate of return was 8% and the rate of inflation
nekit [7.7K]
As long as the rate of return is bigger than the inflation, the value and amount of money will increase and so will the purchasing power: the correct answer is "it will increase".

For example, if you invest 100 dollars, you will receive 108 dollars back, and you'd need 103 dollars to have the same value of money as before - but you have more.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

c. −$80.

Explanation:

The computation of the economic profit is shown below:

Economic profit = Total revenue - Cost of seeds - Earning foregone

where,

Total sales revenue is $300

Cost of seeds is $130

And, the earning foregone is

= 10 hours × $25

= $250

So, the economic profit is

= $300 - $130 - $250

= -$80

We simply applied the above formula to determine the economic profit

Which of the following options is a challenge to the sustainability of strategically implementing an information​ system? A. Man
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

D. Customers and suppliers willing to learn and evolve with new technology

Explanation:

In an implementation of any new IT system, the resistance to adoption from different stakeholders in the organizations is one of the most difficult challenges that is faced by the project managers. To overcome this resistance, the project manager needs to be accustomed to the basic principles of change management which involves:

1 - Designing incentive systems that forces all the stakeholders to adopt the new system.

2- Manage proper communication strategy that conveys the benefits of adopting the new system and conduct training for all the users.

However, there will still be resistance from certain suppliers and customers  to the adoption of the new system. Which can lead to failed implementation of the system. However by doing the following, any organization can make sure that customers and suppliers quickly become an integral part of the IT system:

1- Take feedback from the customers and suppliers so that not only a more user friendly system can be designed, but also customers will be more invested as they feel they have been part of the decision making process.

2- Invite customers and suppliers to use the company resources to make themselves accustomed to the new system.

What percentage of greek students would participate in a hazing activity, even if it made them uncomfortable?
pogonyaev

Less than 10% is the percentage of Greek students that would participate in a hazing activity, even if it made them uncomfortable. This percentage is justifiable because student participation in hazing activities is prohibited and the accompanying danger to physical and mental health induced to a student is one factor that makes it more off-putting.
