Answer:

Part a.

If the Congress of country U to clothing insurance gives a preferential tax treatment, and the insurance company agrees to pay 80% of the clothing expenses and the tax subsidizes the insurance premium, it will result in increase in the consumption of clothes, because people will buy clothes as if they were free.

With this change in behavior there will be decline in economic efficiency because purchasing of formal and expensive clothing is not done on a regular basis, with clothing insurance people will buy less costly daily wear clothes at subsidized rates or for free and the price of clothes will decrease.

Part b.

People who can pay for the 20% remaining cost of clothes will buy insurance clothing and those who can pay the premium. Moreover, the rich will over consume than the poor because they are the ones who will give more importance to good clothing.

Part c.

If a person spends $2000 on clothing the clothing, insurance cost will be more than $2000 because higher the probability of claim higher will be the premium charged by the insurance company.

Part d.  

This is not a good idea by the Congress of country U because good clothing is something every person would like to have. Like in health insurance, people should be insured for big life threatening health issues and for minor health issues people should pay out of their pockets, because people take health insurance benefits for minor health issues since health is more or less free in the COUNTRY U. The high premium costs and high prices are completely ignored.

Kimberly-Clark developed its Avert Virucidal tissues that contained vitamin C derivatives, which were scientifically designed to
mezya [45]

Answer:

E) incomplete market and product protocol.

Explanation:

Kimberly-Clark's Avert Virucidal failed in test marketing, because the researchers in charge of product development  failed to clearly define how it would satisfy consumers' wants and needs. The idea itself wasn't bad, but the concept testing was poorly done. During concept testing, the marketing researchers must determine if the consumers understand the product's idea or not, and obviously that didn't happen. The product does satisfy consumers' needs and if the marketing process was properly done, they would have probably accepted the product.

Hometown​ Grocery, Inc. has​ 41,000 shares of common stock outstanding and​ 5,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. The com
nalin [4]

Answer:

Dividend Per Each Share = $0.85  per share

Explanation:

given data

common stock outstanding = 41,000 shares

preferred stock outstanding = 5,000 shares

common stock =​ $6.00 par​ value

preferred stock  4% noncumulative = $100.00 par value

total dividend payment = $55,000

solution

we get here Total Preferential Divided that is

Total Preferential Divided = Shares × Face Value × 4%     ........1

Total Preferential Divided = 100 × 5000 × 4%

Total Preferential Divided = 20000

so as that Total Equity Dividend is

Total Equity Dividend = Total Dividend - Total Equity Dividend  .............2

Total Equity Dividend = $55,000 - 20000

Total Equity Dividend = 35000

so Dividend Per Each Share will be

Dividend Per Each Share = \frac{Equity\ Dividend}{Total\ Equity\ Shares}   ..............3

Dividend Per Each Share = \frac{35000}{41000}

Dividend Per Each Share = $0.85  per share

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Letter of Credit (LC)

a) Mbo Limited's bank can issue a letter of credit to Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd.'s bank a credit guarantee by which Mbo's bank guarantees that Mbo Limited will settle Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd in full for the amount involved in their trade relationship.  It is usually used by importers and exporters to settle trade credit.  It is the most acceptable means of settling debts across national boundaries.

b) A diagram is attached.  The procedures are detailed below:

A. A Sales Contract is established between the seller (exporter) and the buyer(importer).

B. The importer makes a request to its bank for issuance of letter of credit.

C. The importer’s bank issues a letter of credit to the exporter’s bank.

D. The exporter’s bank advises on the letter of credit to the exporter.

E. The exporter presents export documents (bill of lading and invoice) to its bank.

F. The exporter’s bank delivers the documents to the importer’s bank.

G. The importer’s bank debits the account of the importer for the stated amount after confirming that the documents are in order.

H. The importer’s bank pays the purchase price to the exporter’s bank.

I. The exporter’s bank credits the exporter’s bank to show payment.  This ends the transaction.

c. The letter of credit guarantees both the Mbo Limited and Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd.  It guarantees and ensures that payment for goods are not paid to Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd until there is evidence that the correct goods and quantity have been shipped by Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd (through the bill of lading).  It also assures Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd of payment for shipped goods since the documents cannot be released to Mbo Limited unless Mbo Limited's account had been debited and the money transmitted to Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd through its bank.

As above.
