Answer:

A. $5.97

$6.99

$4.42

B. 17%

26%

Explanation:

A. If Economy conditions are normal

$49,000 / 8,200 shares = $5.97 each

If Economy expands

$49,000 * 117 / 100 = $57,330

$57,330 / 8,200 shares = $6.99 each

If Economy is in recession

$49,000 * 74 / 100 = $36,260

$36,260 / 8,200 = $4.42 each

B.

If Economy expands

$6.99 - $5.97 = $1.02

$1.02 / $5.97 * 100 = 17%

If Economy is in recession

$4.42 - $5.97 = -$1.55

-$1.55 / $5.97 = -26%

Uber’s strategy has been to break these regulations, establishing its service first, and then fighting attempts by regulators to
aleksley [76]

Answer: No it is not.

Explanation:

Uber by first establishing itself and then fighting regulators leaves itself open to attack around the world. This is because the Regulators have the power to keep adjusting the laws that govern Uber if they feel that Uber has an unfair advantage or if it's existence is detrimental to the society. Uber has been accused many times of various infractions such as Tax Evasions and being a conduit through which crime can be committed because it did not conduct proper background checks.

Going back to the issue of taxes, if the regulators feel that Uber may be avoiding taxes, they could impose laws that either cause an increase in Uber prices or remove them from a location which can have a native influence on Uber's bottomline.

This approach is not good because regulators do not like being fought and will try to ascert dominance. It is simply not viable and this has been proven with Uber's many suspensions around the world.

Investing $2,000,000 in TQM's Channel Support Systems initiative will at a minimum increase demand for your products 3.0% in thi
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct answer (14 Months)

Explanation:

Given data

Investing in TQM = $2,000,000

Minimum rise in demand = 3.0 %

Last year’s sales = $163,508,343

As per the given data next year sales is increased by 3.0%. So, 3.0% of last year sales

=> 0.03 × $163,508,343 = $4,905,250.29 ~= $4,905,250

Income added to the bottom line = 34.1% of increased demand

=> 0.341 × $4,905,250 = $1,672,690.25~= $1,672,690

Payback on the initial $2,000,000 TQM investment can be attained in a period and can be computed by using the formula

=> (Investment in TQM / Revenue added to the bottom line) × 12

=> ($2,000,000 / $1,672,690) ×12 = 14.34 ~ = 14 Months

Nper (number of payments): 30

PMT (payment made every period) : -$20,000

FV (future value of investment): $1,000,000

type 1 for payment beginning of period

Then rate = (30,-20000,,1000000,1)= 3.12%

vladimir2022 [97]
