One reason critics think advertising is wasteful is that: a. advertising is silent about things like product quality. b. businesses use deceptive methods of advertising which is harmful for consumers. c. large sums of money are spent on advertising that produces no consumer benefit. d. most ads are distasteful and send the wrong messages to consumers.
Answer:
c. large sums of money are spent on advertising that produces no consumer benefit
Explanation:
Critics consider advertising to be a waste because they believe that there is a large amount of financial resources being spent on advertising that will not be converted into benefits for the consumer, that is, they believe that it is a lot of money spent on communication marketing that it should be spent on product development, for example, in the form of converting investments into physical benefits that add greater value to the product and greater satisfaction for the consumer.
But a company that wants to become competitive and well positioned in the market, must allocate financial resources so that both things can be carried out, because advertising is extremely necessary to attract and retain potential consumers, since there is currently a great offer of them products available on the market and the company needs to develop a strategy that attracts consumers to its product, which can occur through well-developed advertising that generates consumer engagement and identification with the offered product.
The management of Mitchell Labs decided to go private in 2002 by buying all 3.30 million of its outstanding shares at $17.50 per share. By 2006, management had restructured the company by selling off the petroleum research division for $13.50 million, the fiber technology division for $9.25 million, and the synthetic products division for $23 million. Because these divisions had been only marginally profitable, Mitchell Labs is a stronger company after the restructuring. Mitchell is now able to concentrate exclusively on contract research and will generate earnings per share of $1.40 this year. Investment bankers have contacted the firm and indicated that if it reentered the public market, the 3.30 million shares it purchased to go private could now be reissued to the public at a P/E ratio of 12 times earnings per share.
Required:
a. What was the initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private?
b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 3.30 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 12)?
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What was the initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private?
This will be calculated as:
= Price per share × Number of shares
= $17.50 × 3.3 million
= $57.75 million
b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 3.30 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 12)?
This will be calculated as:
= $13.5 Million + $9.25 Million + $23 Million + [(12 X $ 1.40) × 3.3 Million]
= $45.75 Million + $55.44 Million
= $101.19 Million
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring?
This will be calculated as:
= {$101.19 Million - $57.75 Million} /$57.75 Million
= $43.44/$57.75 × 100
= 0.7522 × 100
= 75.22%

A US company makes furniture and uses large amounts of exotic woods. How will quotas on imported wood affect he price of the product and the
marketing plans?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
A quota is simply referred to as a limited quantity of a product that can either be produced in a country or imported or exported under official controls. A quota is usually done to limit importation of goods and encourage local production.
Since the US company makes use of large amount of exotic goods which are usually imported, this will bring about a reduction in the supply of furniture as there'll be decrease in wood.
This will hence lead to an increase in price of the available furniture. This will certainly have a negative effect on the marketing plan of the company.

Item4 3 points eBookHintPrintReferencesItem 4 Spotter Corporation reported the following for June in its periodic inventory records. Date Description Units Unit Cost Total Cost June 1 Beginning 12 $ 8 $ 96 11 Purchase 38 9 342 24 Purchase 20 11 220 30 Ending 24 Required: Calculate the cost of ending inventory and the cost of goods sold under the (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, and (c) weighted average cost methods.
Answer:
a. FIFO
cost of ending inventory = $256
cost of goods sold = $402
b. LIFO
cost of ending inventory = $204
cost of goods sold = $454
c. Weighted average cost
cost of ending inventory = $225.60
cost of goods sold = $432.40
Explanation:
Periodic method means cost of sales and inventory balance are determined at the end of the period.
Step 1 : Units Sold
Units Sold = Units available for Sale - Units in Inventory
= (12 + 38 + 20) - 24
= 46
Step 2 : FIFO
FIFO assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first.
cost of ending inventory = 20 x $11 + 4 x $9 = $256
cost of goods sold = 12 x $8 x 34 x $9 = $402
Step 3 : LIFO
LIFO assumes that the units to arrive last, will be sold first.
cost of ending inventory = 12 x $9 + 12 x $8 = $204
cost of goods sold = 20 x $11 x 26 x $9 = $454
Step 4 : Weighted average cost
Weighted average cost method calculates a new unit cost with every purchase made. this unit cost is then used to calculated cost of sale and ending inventory.
Unit Cost = Total Costs ÷ Units available for sale
= (12 x $8 + 38 x $9 + 20 x $11 ) ÷ (12 + 38 + 20)
= $9.40
cost of ending inventory = Units in Inventory x Unit Cost
= 24 x $9.40
= $225.60
cost of goods sold = Units Sold x Unit Cost
= 46 x $9.40
= $432.40
Carey Company owns a plot of land on which burried toxic wastes have been discovered. Since it will require several years and a considerable sum of money before the property is fully detoxified and capable of generating revenues, Carey wishes to sell the land now. It has located two potenital buyers. Buyer A, who is willing to pay $480,000 for the land now, or Buyer B, who is willing to make 20 annual payments of $75,000 each, with the first payment to be made 5 years from today. Assuming that the appropraite rate of interest is 9%, wo whom should Carey sell the land. Show calculations.
Answer:
Carey should accept buyer A's offer
Explanation:
we need to compare the present values of both proposals:
Present value of proposal A = $480,000
Present value of proposal B:
present value of annuity in 5 years = $75,000 x 9.1285 (PVIFA, 9%, 20 periods) = $684,637.50
present value (today) = $684,637.50 / (1 + 9%)⁵ = $444,967.40
Harry was on the phone negotiating the terms of a contract for the purchase of ball caps containing his university's logo with All Logos, LLC. They had agreed on the quantity (1200) and price ($2/cap), but could not agree on the delivery date, so Harry hung up. A few days later, Harry received an invoice in the mail, billing him for the caps, and advising that they would be shipped in 30 days' time. Under the UCC, has a contract been formed?
Answer: d. No, a contract has not been formed, since Harry has not signed a contract for the goods.
Explanation:
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) utilizes the Statute of Frauds which states that contracts for goods worth over $500 in value are to be signed for them to be valid.
The goods here are worth:
= 1,200 * 2
= $2,400
This contract is well worth over the $500 required for the contract to be signed which means that as Harry did not sign the contract, there is no contract.

Assume the cholesterol levels in a certain population have mean µ= 200 and standard deviation σ = 24. The cholesterol levels for a random sample of n = 9 individuals are measured and the sample mean x is determined. What is the z-score for a sample mean x = 180?
a. –3.75
b. –2.50
c. −0.83
d. 2.50
The required z-score for the given sample mean would be -0.83. which is the correct answer would be an option (C).
What is Z -score?A Z-score is defined as the fractional representation of data point to the mean using standard deviations.
Given the mean µ= 200 and standard deviation σ = 24. The cholesterol levels for a random sample of n = 9 individuals are measured sample mean is 180.
To determine the Z-score for the given sample mean
⇒ z-score = (X-ц )/σ
Here,
ц = 200
σ = 24
X = 180
Substitute the values in the above formula,
⇒ z-score = (180 - 200)/24
⇒ z-score = -20 /24
⇒ z-score = -0.833
Therefore, the required z-score for the given sample mean would be -0.83.
Hence, the correct answer would be an option (C).

Bob Lee, a division manager for JTCL Ltd has been given a mandate to control costs. Bob’s division is called the Murray Division. After taking an Operations Management class he remembered that a good place to start would be to get a current measure of his division's productivity. The Murray Division is comprised of 5 employees who are paid $10 hourly and work 40 hours per week. The division used 75 pounds of material during the week he is studying. Each week JTCL Ltd assigns an overhead charge of $1,000 to the Murray Division. Material costs $10 per pound. The division completed 9000 units of product last week. Which of the following best describes last week’s labor productivity at the Murray Division?
a. 45 units per labor hour
b. 4.5 units per labor hour
c. 3.75 units per labor hour
d. 45 units per labor hour
e. 37.5 units per labor hour
Answer:
a. 45 units per labor hour.
Explanation:
No. of units produced is 9000 units
No. of labor hours per week is 40 hours
There are total 5 labors so the hours per labor is 40/ 5 = 8 hours per labor.
No. of units produced by each labor is 9000 / 5 = 1800 units per labor
The unit per labor hour is 1800 / 8 hours = 225 units
These units are further distributed among 5 workers so each labor has produced 225 / 5 = 45 units per week.
The last week’s labor productivity at the Murray Division is option a. 45 units per labor hour.
Calculation of last week’s labor productivity:Since the No. of units produced is 9000 units and the No. of labor hours per week is 40 hours and there are total 5 laborers
so the hours per labor should be = 40/ 5 = 8 hours per labor.
Now
No. of units produced by each labor should be
= 9000 / 5
= 1800 units per labor
Now
The unit per labor hour is
= 1800 / 8 hours
= 225 units
Since there are 5 workers so per worker it should be
= 225 / 5
= 45 units per week.

Jack and Jill are the only two residents in a neighbourhood, and they would like to hire a security guard. The value of a security guard is $50 per month to Jack and $90 per month to Jill. Irrespective of who pays the guard, the guard will protect the entire neighbourhood and charge $120 per month for the service. Suppose Jack earns $4,000 per month and Jill earns $8,000 per month.
a. With a proportional tax of 1 percent on income, how much would Jack and Jill pay, and would it be enough to pay for the security guard?
Jack would pay $ _____.
Jill would pay $ _____.
This tax _____ be enough to pay for the security guard.
b. Suppose instead that Jack proposes a payment scheme under which Jack and Jill would each receive the same net benefit from hiring the guard. How much would Jack and Jill pay now?
Jack would pay $ _____.
Jill would pay $ _____.
Would both Jack and Jill vote for this scheme? _____
Answer:
Jack and Jill
a. With a proportional tax of 1 percent on income, it would be enough to pay for the security guard $120.
Jack would pay $ __40___.
Jill would pay $ __80___.
This tax _will____ be enough to pay for the security guard.
b. Based on net benefit from the guard:
Jack would pay $ __43___.
Jill would pay $ _ 77____.
Would both Jack and Jill vote for this scheme? __No___ Jack will feel cheated by Jill in the sum of $3. Jack will likely prefer the 1% based on income.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Value of a security guard for Jack = $50 per month
Value of a security guard for Jill = $90 per month
Total value of a security guard for both Jack and Jill = $140 ($50 + $90)
Cost of hiring a guard = $120 per month
Jack's monthly earnings = $4,000
Jill's monthly earnings = $8,000
Total monthly earnings for both Jack and Jill = $12,000
a. Proportional tax of 1 percent on income = $120 ($12,000 * 1%)
Jack will pay $4,000 * 1% = $40
Jill will pay $8,000 * 1% = $80
Total = $120
b. Net benefit scheme:
Jack will pay $50/$140 * $120 = $43
Jill will pay $90/$140 * $120 = $77
Total = $120

The country of Lessidinia has a tax system identical to that of the United States. Suppose someone in Lessidinia bought a parcel of land for 20,000 foci (the local currency) in 1960 when the price index equaled 100. In 2002, the person sold the land for 100,000 foci, and the price index equaled 600. The tax rate on nominal gains was 20 percent. Compute the taxes on the nominal gain and the change in the real value of the land in terms of 2002 prices to find the after-tax real rate of capital gain.
Answer: -30%
Explanation:
The Nominal gain is:
= 100,000 - 20,000
= 80,000 foci
Tax on nominal gain:
= 20% * 80,000
= 16,000 foci
After tax nominal value of land:
= 100,000 - 16,000
= 84,000 foci
The real value given the price index is:
= 84,000 / 600 * 100
= 14,000 foci
After tax real rate of cap. gain:
= (14,000 - 20,000) / 20,000
= -30%
