The next guesses of the clerk should be less of red shells and more of white shells.

<h3><u>Decision about less of white and more red shells</u>:</h3>

Given that,

   Red shell [r] costs         =       $0.75 each.

   White shell [w] costs     =        $0.49 each.

   Total of 8 shells              =       $4.70

The clerk guesses that the $4.96 for 4 red shells and 4 white shells is greater than the actual purchase.

Therefore,

The clerk should make use of less red shells, and more of white shells, because the unit costs of red shell is more than the white shell.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: If i am the general manager of the organization i will try to make a survey about customer relation in other competitive organization before i can conclude whether it is wise to cut down cost through removing giving out free gifts to customers like the free pop corn, coffee etc. Customers will choose other organizations where they can get the same quality service and other benefits especially in a perfectly competitive market. Rather i will suggest more profit can be made by slightly increasing the cost of services rendered to customers from which the cost of the freebies can be regained.

Explanation:Customer's satisfaction and profit maximization are the two main objectives of a firm. It is only when an organization is able to maintain good customer relationship with their customers that profit can be maximized regardless of how efficient their other services are.

xenn [34]

Answer:

Total yield or rate of return is 0.36 or 36%

Explanation:

To calculate rate of return which is also the total yield on the stock, we will use the following formula,

Total Yield = (D + C) / P0

Where,

  • D represents dividends paid by the stock during the year
  • C is the capital appreciation(pr depreciation) or rise(or fall) in the price of the stock as compared to the purchase price
  • P0 is the purchase price or price in Year 0

Total dividends for the year = 1.5 * 4 = $6

C = 130 - 100 = $30

Total Yield = (6 + 30) / 100

Total yield = 0.36 or 36%

larisa [96]

Answer:

The balance of total assets, total liabilities, and total stockholders' equity is $640,000, $440,000 and $200,000 respectively.

Explanation:

The computation of the balance of total assets, total liabilities, and total stockholders' equity after considering the lease payment  is shown below:

For Total assets  

= Total assets balance + present value of lease payments

= $600,000 + $40,000

= $640,000

For Total liabilities

= Total liabilities balance + present value of lease payments

= $400,000 + $40,000

= $440,000

And, the total stockholders' equity is $200,000

While computing the stockholder equity, the lease payment does not have an impact on the stockholder equity so the balance would remain the same as before
