Answer:
The seller must be informed when the offer is presented that the depositis a promissory note
Explanation:
A good faith deposit is one that is done by a buyer in which conditions are stated that could result in the loss of deposit by the buyer.
It is a deposit made by the buyer to show he intends to complete the payment later.
In this instance if there is a Goodwill deposit in form of a promissory note, the broker needs to be aware.
So that when he is bringing in a client he will consider the already existing deposit.
Deals that offer more deposit or full payment will be considered and the original buyer discarded.
A market segment is a subgroup of people or organizations that have one or more characteristics in common that cause them to have the same product needs. Everyone needs water to drink, but does everyone need bottled water? For companies to successfully reach their precise customer, they need to divide a market into similar and identifiable segments through market segmentation.
The main reason companies divide markets into identifiable groups is so that the marketing team can create a custom marketing mix for the specific group. For example, Farmer Joseph realized early on that not everyone would purchase his expensive organic produce. He did not want to exhaust his financial budget by advertising to the masses. Instead, he identified his target market and created a specific marketing plan to communicate effectively with his prime customers.
His target market consisted of females age 18-65, with an income of $50,000+, who have healthy eating habits and who are concerned about pesticides. His plan consisted of ad placement in local women's magazines, newspapers and also email blasts to a list that he formulated with age and income specifics. Lastly, he advertised with a local gym about his healthy produce. Marketers have numerous choices in how they can segment a market.
If the farmer had planned on targeting everyone, then the type of segmentation would have been called no market segmentation. The opposite type of segmentation would be if he decided to target based on every individual factor available. This would be called a fully segmented market. Other choices include segmenting just by gender, income, lifestyle, ethnicity, family life cycle, age group, or even a combination-type.
Companies will not survive if the marketing strategy is dependent upon targeting an entire mass market. The importance of market segmentation is that it allows a business to precisely reach a consumer with specific needs and wants. In the long run, this benefits the company because they are able to use their corporate resources more effectively and make better strategic marketing decisions.
Answer:
A) See attached file for Balance Sheet
B) Current ratio = 1.26
C) Debt to Asset ratio = 18%
The Current ratio tells us that the company has 1.26 dollars of current assets to cover 1 dollar of current debt. That is a good thing, but to know if it´s enough covers, further information is needed. Others ratios can help to complete the picture as for example, quick ratio, assets turn over, inventory turn over, receivables turn over, etc. The debt to assets ratio. Tells us that the company owes 18% of its assets. The rest belongs to the stockholders. Again, it´s a good thing, but further information can help us to know if the company can invest in new projects, financing it with debt in a profitable way, for example, if Return on Assets is higher than debt rate.
Explanation:
B) Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Current ratio = 52,140 / 41,400
Current ratio = 1.26
C)Debt to Asset ratio = (Total Liabilities / Total Assets)*100
Debt to Asset ratio = (121,400 / 691,400)*100
Debt to Asset ratio = 18%
The current ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations or those due within one year, by relating current assets with current liabilities (liquidity ratio). The debt to total assets ratio shows the percentage of a company's total assets that were financed by creditors (financial ratio).
Answer:
The risk free rate is 3.325%
Explanation:
The required rate of return or cost of equity of a stock can be calculated using the CAPM. The CAPM estimates the required rate of return of a stock based on three factors- risk free rate, stock's beta and the market risk premium. The equation of required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rM is the return on market
- (rM - rRF) gives us the risk premium of market
We already have the values for r, Beta and rM. Plugging in these values in the formula, we calculate the rRF to be,
Let rRF be x.
0.1185 = x + 1.24 * (0.102 - x)
0.1185 = x + 0.12648 - 1.24x
1.24x - x = 0.12648 - 0.1185
0.24x = 0.00798
x = 0.00798/0.24
x = 0.03325 or 3.325%
