It has been argued that the traditional model of a full-service, lead advertising agency is becoming obsolete. Discuss the changes occurring in the industry and how they are affecting the traditional lead agency model.
Answer:
It can be argued that the traditional leading full-service advertising agency model is becoming obsolete by the emergence of new technologies and communication tools such as social media. The relationship between company and consumer is no longer something more mechanized and distant to become more direct and personal, this was made possible by the very characteristics of social media, which are fast and integrative communication tools, which humanized and brought companies closer to consumers, making relationship marketing a great advantage in the quest for value creation and market positioning.
Therefore, after companies have immersed themselves in social media, communication is faster and more instantaneous, in addition to being cheaper, it does not require so much elaborate advertising effort, but content that engages its potential audience, generates value and focuses on building relationships . So advertising is really just a construction of the real connections that consumers want to have with the company, its values, objectives and mission.

Sales Revenue $530,000
Cost of Goods Sold 180,000
Interest Expense 30,000
Net Income 112,000
Calculate the rate of return on total assets for 2018.
a. 55.3%.
b. 52.5%.
c. 42.6%.
d. 27.3%.
Answer:
c. 42.6%
Explanation:
Average total assets = $410,000+$257,000/2
Average total assets = $667,000
Average total assets = $333,500
Net income = $112,000
Interest expenses = $30,000
Return on total assets = Net income + Interest expenses / Average total assets
Return on total assets = $112,000 + $30,000 / $333,500
Return on total assets = 0.42388060
Return on total assets = 42.39%
Suppose you have $100 of endowment, and you are offered a chance to buy a lottery which costs $36. The lottery has 43% of chance to win a prize of $G, or you just lose and get nothing. Suppose your utility function on wealth is u(w)=w^1/2. What is the least prize size G that you will be willing to buy the lottery? (Round to the second digit after decimal point.)
Answer:
96.02
Explanation:
Lottery's Expected utility = [tex]\sqrt{100}[/tex] = 10
Income in good state = 100 - 36 + G = 64 + G
Income in bad state = 100 - 36 = 64
Probability in good state = 43%
Probability in bad state = 100% - 43% = 57%
Expected utility = Probability in good state x [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex] + Probability in bad state x [tex]\sqrt{64\\}[/tex]
10 = 43% x [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex] + 57% x 8
10 = 43% x [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex] + 4.56
10 - 4.56 = 43% x [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex]
5.44 = = 43% x [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex]
5.44 / 43% = [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex]
12.65 = [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex]
[tex]12.65^{2}[/tex] = [tex](\sqrt{(64 + G )})^{2}[/tex]
160.0225 = 64 + G
G = 160.0225 - 64
G = 96.0225
G = 96.02
Assume Peanut Butter and Jelly are two complement products. For both markets explain what happens for an increase in the Supply of Jelly to both the Peanut butter and Jelly markets.
Answer:
Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together
If the supply of Jelly increases, the supply curve for jelly shifts rightward. As a result of the rightward shift, price decreases and quantity increases.
Because jelly and peanut butter are complements, an increase in the supply leads to an increase in the supply of peanut butter.
the supply curve of peanut butter shifts outward also. As a result of the rightward shift, price decreases and quantity increases.
Explanation:
A complimentary service or product is one that is employed in connection with just another good or service. When ingested solo, the complement product is usually of little or no value. If a commodity has a positive connection with another product, it is considered complimentary.
The supply curve for jelly goes rightward as the supply of jelly increases. Price drops and quantity volume increases of the rightward shift. Because jelly and peanut butter complement one other, an increase in jelly availability leads to an increase in peanut butter supply. Peanut butter's supply curve is also shifting outward. Price decreases and quantity increases as a result of the rightward shift.
The cross-price elasticity of demand is equal to 2 and larger than 1, indicating that demand is elastic and positive since wheat and rice are complimentary items, and as the price of wheat rises, so does the demand for rice.

You notice that the price of Blu-ray players falls and the quantity of Blu-ray players sold increases. You suspect that _____ Blu-ray players shifts to the _____. demand for; left supply of; left demand for; right supply of; right
Answer:
supply of; right
Explanation:
When the supply curve shifts rightward, there would be a rightward shift of the supply curve. As a result of the rightward shift, supply would increase and the price falls.
When the price of a good falls, the quantity demanded increases. This is in line with the law of demand.
According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
Thus, when the price of blue ray players fall, there would be an increase in the quantity of demanded. there would a movement down along the demand curve.
If Medicaid is expanded to cover a greater percentage of the population: the public debt will immediately increase. implicit liabilities will increase. implicit liabilities will decrease. implicit liabilities will be unaffected.
Answer: implicit liabilities will increase.
Explanation:
Implicit liabilities are incurred by government as a result of them having to take care of their citizens. Medicaid is one such liability.
If the government were to expand the percentage of people in the country that are to be covered by medical aid, this would mean that more Medicaid will be paid by the government which means that the implicit liabilities will increase.

Answer:
the small open economy the real exchange rate DEPRECIATES and net exports INCREASE.
Explanation:
If the government adopts an expansionary monetary policy, then the country's currency will depreciate since a higher interest rate will result in a lower value according to the PPP thoery. When a currency depreciates, the exports become cheaper for foreign countries, so they increase. While the imports become more expensive and they decrease.

a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 4.6%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S)166%Bond fund (B)70%The correlation between the fund returns is 0.0800. What is the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL
Answer:
The Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is 0.3167.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as some data are omitted. The complete qustion is therefore provided before answering the question. See attached pdf file for the complete question.
Risk-free rate = Sure rate of the T-bill money market fund = 4.6%, or 0.046
Sharpe ratio of a fund = (Expected return - Risk-free rate) / Standard Deviation …………. (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Sharpe ratio of Stock fund = (16% - 4.6%) / 36% = 0.3167
Sharpe ratio of Bond fund = (7% - 4.6%) / 30% = 0.08
Since Sharpe Ratio of Stock Fund (S) is higher than Sharpe Ratio of Bond Fund (B), this implies that the best option is to invest in Stock Fund (S).
Therefore, the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is 0.3167.
Hi guys, I need your help to give your opinions about this one.
Example:
The experts on your island warn of a possible tsunami, but opinions are divided.
a. A quarter of the experts (group A) assume that a tsunami will certainly come.
b. Three quarters of the experts (group B) assume that the tsunami will come with a 10 percent probability.
Which professionals (group A or group B) would you like to believe more and why? Give reasons for your answer. And what are the consequences of this decision for your actions? And how do you deal with the risks of a wrong decision?
I would believe group A more
because, as we know "Precaution is always better an cure"
If I stay more cautious about it, there are less chances of the tsunami to cause a severe harm. If I don't stay much cautious, according to group B, and in case if their prediction goes wrong, I'll be in serious danger.
I chose group A because
even if the tsunami ain't powerful enough, I would be glad I was careful enough for it and it'll help me in future if I face another situation like this again
The consequences if I chose group B would be :
well, if I would have chose B, I won't have taken any Precautions at all
I won't have been careful enough
and in case their prediction went wrong, I would have to suffer high losses.
I hope it helps.... Have a great time ahead!
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine producers a tax. Before the tax, 40 billion bottles of wine were sold every year at a price of $7 per bottle. After the tax, 35 billion bottles of wine are sold every year; consumers pay $9 per bottle, and producers receive $6 per bottle (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine isper bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers isper bottle, and the burden that falls on producers isper bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The amount of the tax for the wine bottle is
= $9 per bottle - $6 per bottle
= $3 per bottle
Before the tax, the price per bottle is $7 per bottle
The Tax burden on consumers is
= $9 - $7
= $2 per bottle
And, the tax burden on producers is
= $7 per bottle - $6 per bottle
= $1 per bottle
So, the given statement is false as the impact would remain the same whether it is for producer or consumer
Mass customization is ______. Group of answer choices the redesign of components found to be faulty in earlier versions of a product the mass production of individually customized products the reuse of components discarded from scrapped products the production of each product by hand for specific custom
Answer:
production of individually customized products
Explanation:
Mass customization can be described as when a company produces and delivers market goods and services that are suited to meet the needs of individual customers
It combines the benefit of low cost associated with mass production with the customization of goods.
An example of a product that is mass customized is the mobile phone. A mobile phone is mass produced but due to its software, users are able to modify or customize their phone to suit their needs
Types of Mass customization
Collaborative customization: In this type of Mass customization, customers and the company work together to create a good or service that meets the unique needs of the consumer. Adaptive customization: the good or service created can be further customized by the consumer to suit their needs. Transparent customization: unique products are made for each consumer . Cosmetic customization: different types of standardized products are made for various groups of customers.Advantages of Mass customization
Customer satisfaction increasesGoods are produced at lower costsDisadvantages of Mass customization
It would be difficult for the company to build up stock ahead of time due to the unique needs of the customersthere would be an increased wait time from the time the order is made till when it is deliveredNike has so far had $30,000,000 in losses at its shoe factory in Vietnam in 2017. The additional revenue that it will earn from producing an additional shoe is $100 while the additional cots incurred for that additional shoe is $99.99. Should Nike continue operations in that factory and produce that additional shoe
Answer: c. Yes, because the marginal revenue from producing the additional shoe is greater than the marginal costs.
Explanation:
When making financial decisions, companies abide by the principle of Sunk Costs. This means that money that has already been spent, should not have any effect on future financial decisions. The $30 million that has been lost already will therefore not be considered.
The only figures now are the additional cost and revenue. The additional revenue is more than the additional cost so this shoe should be produced because it brings in a profit of $0.01.

What is the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $50,000 using the manufacturing cost markup method
Answer:
$15 per unit
Explanation:
Note "The full question is attached as picture below"
Markup = (Fixed Costs + Desired Profit) / Units produced
Markup = ($300,000 + $150,000 + $50,000) / 50,000
Markup = $500,000 / 50,000 units
Markup = $10 per unit
Variable cost per unit = Variable cost / Quantity
Variable cost per unit = ($200,000 + $50,000) / 50,000
Variable cost per unit = $5 per unit
Sales price = Variable cost + Markup
Sales price = $5 per unit + $10 per unit
Sales price = $15 per unit
So, the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $50,000 using the manufacturing cost markup method is $15 per unit.

Differentiate between a defined contribution pension plan and a defined benefit pension plan. Explain how the employer's obligation differs between the two types of plans.
Answer:
Differences Between a Defined Contribution Pension Plan and a Defined Benefit Pension Plan.
With a defined contribution pension plan, the benefit that will accrue to the employee is not known or defined ahead of her retirement. But the contributions that will be made by the employer and the employee to fund the pension are clearly spelt out.
With a defined benefit pension plan, the benefit (i.e. the monthly payment to the retiree) is stated ahead of the pension time. It is based on the employee's tenure and salary. Employees do not contribute to the plan but are entitled to lifetime monthly payments.
Explanation:
The employer and each employee contribute some certain percentages to each worker's individual retirement account (IRA) under the defined contribution pension plan. Under the defined benefit pension plan, the employer is solely responsible for funding the plan and the employee benefits via a monthly payment from the funding plan during retirement.

Samantha Rose Inc. made a $25,000 sale on account with the following terms: 1/15, n/30. If the company uses the net method to record sales made on credit, how much should be recorded as revenue
Answer:
$24,750
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should be recorded is shown below"
Sales on account = $25,000
Credit term = 1/15, n/30
Sales discount rate = 1%
Now
Sales discount = Sales on account × Sales discount rate
= 25,000 × 1%
= $250
So,
Net sales = Sales- Sales discount
= $25,000 - $250
= $24,750
A certain machine will have a cost of $25,000 (then $) six years from now. Find the PW of the machine if the real interest rate is 10% per year and the inflation rate is 5% per year using (a) constant-value dollars, and (b) then-current dollars.
Answer:
The Present Worth of the machine if the real interest rate is 10% per year and the inflation rate is 5% per year, using:
(a) constant-value dollars
= $10,518.60
(b) then-current dollars
= $10,818.65
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost a certain machine six years from now = $25,000
Time period = 6 years
Real interest rate = 10%
Inflation rate = 5%
Nominal interest rate = 5% (10% - 5%)
Discount factor at 10% for 6 years = 0.564
Discount factor at 5% for 6 years = 0.746
PW using:
a) Constant-value dollars = $18,650 ($25,000 * 0.746)
PW = $10,518.60 ($18,650 * 0.564)
b) Then-current dollars:
The nominal rate = 0.1 + 0.05 + (0.1 * 0.05) = 0.155
$10,818.65 ($25,000 * 0.432746)

Consuela is a business analyst for her company. She is working from home and on a video conference with several other team members. Her video conferencing client displays a message indicating that the quality of her connection is unstable. What is the most likely problem
Answer: c) Latency between her VPN client removing encryption and making it available to the video-conferencing client is causing poor performance.
Explanation:
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is used to protect the identity of people online as it encrypts a person's data and uses different servers to allow them browse the web and with a different IP address from the user's original IP address that way it appears as though the user is somewhere else in the world than they actually are.
In doing this however, VPNs might give slow speeds due to the latency that develops as the VPN encrypts and decrypts data for use. In this case, the VPN latency in decrypting the video call for Consuela to see it is slowing down the speed of the Video conferencing client.

Bloom Company management predicts that it will incur fixed costs of $251,000 and earn pretax income of $365,100 in the next period. Its expected contribution margin ratio is 61%. Required: 1. Compute the amount of total dollar sales. 2. Compute the amount of total variable costs
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. The amount of the total dollar sales is
Pretax income = Sales value - Variable cost - Fixed cost
where,
Sales value - variable cost = Contribution margin
$365,100 = Contribution margin - $251,000
So,
Contribution margin = $616,100
Now
Contribution margin = Sales value × Contribution margin ratio
$616,100 = Sales value × 61%
So,
Sales value = $1,010,000
b. The total variable cost is
= Sales - fixed cost - pre tax income
= $1,010,000 - $251,000 - $365,100
= $393,900
All of the following assets require a title as proof of ownership, except: Group of answer choices Life insurance. Boat. Home. Vehicle.
Answer:
Life insurance.
Explanation:
A life insurance policy can be defined as a contract between a policyholder and an insurer, in which the insurer agrees to pay an amount of money to a specific beneficiary either upon the death of the insured person (decedent) or after a set period of time.
All of the following assets such as home, boat, vehicle require a title as proof of ownership, except a life insurance because no one person can present a proof to attest to the ownership of their life.
Simply stated, a life of an individual is abstract and as such can not be quantified or qualified by any document as a proof to be presented to another person or business entity. Thus, a life insurance cannot be used as a collateral to obtain credits or loans from a financial institution or investors.
