In which one of the following circumstances should a company's managers seriously consider modifying their strategy to strongly differentiate the company's branded footwear from the offerings of rival companies and achieve a competitive advantage based on a wide selection of 450-500 models/styles and "high" S/Q ratings?
a) When one or more rivals produce and market branded footwear with the same (or higher) number of models/styles that the company is offering to the buyers of athletic footwear and also have below-average retail prices in the Internet segment and below-average wholesale prices in the Wholesale segment
b) When many rival companies are spending heavily on retailer support and search engine advertising
c) When one or more rivals also produce and market branded footwear having much the same (or higher) S/Q ratings and these rivals are offering higher mail-in rebates and delivering orders for branded footwear to footwear retailers in 1-2 weeks
d) When the company is struggling to achieve the sales volumes needed to meet or beat the five investor-expected performance targets because the global marketplace for branded footwear is overcrowded with companies locked in a fierce competitive battle to sell 450- 500 models of branded footwear with high S/Q ratings at premium prices to the same comparatively narrow high-end buyer segment
e) When the company's cost per branded pair sold is above the industry average in all four geographic regions
Answer:
The circumstance in which a company's managers should seriously consider modifying their strategy to strongly differentiate the company's branded footwear from the offerings of rival companies and achieve a competitive advantage based on a wide selection of 450-500 models/styles and "high" S/Q ratings is:
c) When one or more rivals also produce and market branded footwear having much the same (or higher) S/Q ratings and these rivals are offering higher mail-in rebates and delivering orders for branded footwear to footwear retailers in 1-2 weeks.
Explanation:
S/Q ratings are Athletic Footwear Styling and Quality ratings. The ratings are championed by a consumer group, which undertakes to rate the styling and quality of the footwear of all footwear producers by assigning a styling-quality or S/Q rating of 0 to 10 stars to each company's branded footwear offerings. If the company has the same rating with a competitor and the competitor employs some strategic moves to better its competitiveness, then the company must change its differentiation strategy.
The company manager considers modifying the strategy when there has been rival with better or same footwear quality and delivery as yours. Thus option C is correct.
The S/Q rating has been the styling and quality rating that has been assigned to the footwear by the consumer groups. The strategy for the selling of an product has been improvised in the market when there has been the presence of a competitor with the same strategy as yours.
Thus company managers seriously consider modifying their strategy when one or more rivals also produce and market branded footwear having much the same (or higher) S/Q ratings and these rivals are offering higher mail-in rebates and delivering orders for branded footwear to footwear retailers in 1-2 weeks. Thus option C is correct.

Suppose that a haircut will give Dawn 2,000 units of utility and cost her $40, whereas a set of acrylic nails costs $25 and yields 1,000 units of util. Most likely Dawn should:_____.
A. be indifferent between the two choices.
B. choose the haircut because she will receive 50 units of utility per dollar as compared with 45 units of utility per dollar for the nails.
C. choose the haircut because each unit of utility will cost her 2 cents as compared with 2.5 cents for the nails.
D. choose the nails because she will obtain 50 units of utility per dollar as compared with 40 units of utility per dollar for the haircut.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
Marginal utility is the additional utility derived from consuming one more unit of a good
the consumption decision is to consume more units of a good that gives the higher utility per good.
Marginal utility per unit of good = marginal utility / price of the good
haircut = 2000 / 40 = 50
Nails = 1000 /25 = 40
the utility per unit for haircut is greater for haircut than nails, so he would choose haircut
When marginal utility is positive, it means that increasing consumption by one unit increases total utility
When marginal utility is negative, it means that increasing consumption by one unit decreases total utility
When marginal utility is zero, total utility has reached its maximum and no more units of goods would be consumed
ng 40\%; \$4.400 A company is considering the purchase of a new machine for $ 63,000 . Management predicts that the machine can produce sales of $ 17,500 each year for the next 10 years .

Income tax expense is per year based on a tax rate of What the payback period for the new machine
Answer:
3 years and 8 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the length of time that it takes for the cashflow of a project to equal the initial investment of the project.
Initial investment = $ 63,000
Cash flow :
Sales $ 17,500
Less Expenses ($6,500)

It takes 3 years and 8 months ($11,100/$17,300 x 12) for the cashflow of a project to equal the initial investment for the new machine.
Markung's Co. is 100% equity-financed company (no debt or preferred stock); hence, its WACC equals it cost of common equality. Markung's Co.'s retained earnings will be sufficient to fund its capital budget in the foreseeable future. The company has a beta of 1.50, the risk-free rate is 5.0%, and the market return is 6.5%. What is Markung's Co.'s cost of equity?
Markung's Co. is financed exclusively using equity funding and has a cost of equity of 12.55%. It is considering the following projects for investment next year:
Project Required Investment Expected rate of return

X $12,750 10.10%
Y $19,235 13.60%
Z $17,875 14.60%
Each Project has average risk, and Markung’s Co. accepts any project whose expected rate of return exceeds its cost of capital. How large should next year’s capital budget be?
Answer:
Markung Cost of Equity:
For this you should use the Capital Asset Pricing Model:
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - Risk free rate)
= 5% + 1.50 * (6.5% - 5%)
= 7.25%
Total capital budget:
They will only pick projects with a rate of return that is higher than 12.55%:
= Project W + Project Y + Project Z

The quantity demanded of cereal increased from 1,350 to 1,700 when the price of milk decreased from $2.05 to $1.65. What is the estimated cross-price elasticity of demand for cereal
Answer:
-1.33
Explanation:
Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.
If cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the goods are -substitute goods.
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
If the cross-price elasticity is negative, it means that the goods are complementary goods.
Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together
Cross Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded of good A / percentage change in price of good B
percentage change in quantity demanded of good = (1700/ 1350) - 1 = 0.259
percentage change in price = (1.65 / 2.05) - 1 = -0.195
0.259 / -0.195 = -1.33
On December 31, there were 53 units remaining in ending inventory. These 53 units consisted of 9 from January, 10 from February, 14 from May, 8 from September, and 12 from November. Using the specific identification method, what is the cost of the ending inventory
Answer:
Cost of the ending inventory = $7,108
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
A company had the following purchases during the current year:
January 17 Units at $112
February 37 Units at $123
May 32 Units at $135
September 29 Units at $143
November 27 Units at $153
On December 31, there were 53 units remaining in ending inventory. These 53 units consisted of 9 from January, 10 from February, 14 from May, 8 from September, and 12 from November. Using the specific identification method, what is the cost of the ending inventory?
Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Specific identification method is an inventory method under which costs of goods sold and the closing/ending inventory are calculated using the particular cost of each inventory batch at the moment they were received.
Therefore, cost of the ending inventory is calculated as sum of the product of the number of closing units from each month and the cost per unit of purchases in that month.
Therefore, we have:
Cost of the ending inventory = (Number of closing units from January * Cost per unit of January Purchases) + (Number of closing units from February * Cost per unit of February Purchases) + (Number of closing units from May * Cost per unit of May Purchases) + (Number of closing units from September * Cost per unit of September Purchases) + (Number of closing units from November * Cost per unit of November Purchases) ………… (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
Cost of the ending inventory = (9 * $112) + (10 * $123) + (14 * $135) + (8 * $143) + (12 * $153) = $7,108
Suppose the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one cup of tea, one biscuit, and one magazine. In year one, the basket costs $7.00. In year two, the price of the same basket is $8.00. From year one to year two, there isinflation at an annual rate of_____________ . In year one, $42.00 will buy baskets, and in year two, $42.00 will buy baskets. This example illustrates that, as the price level rises, the value of money___________ .
Answer:
14.3%
6 baskets
5.25
Falls
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels
Types of inflation
1. demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise
2. cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect
Costs of inflation
Shoe leather cost is when people try to spend money immediately so they would not be holding money for a long time. This is because money loses its value in an inflation.
Menu costs are the costs of changing price constantly as a result of inflation, When there is inflation, prices increases regularly. As a result prices needs to be updated regularly.
Annual rate of inflation = (0.08/0.07) - 1 = 0.143 = 14.3%
Baskets that can be bought in year 1 = 42 / 7 = 6
Baskets that can be bought in year 2 = 42 / 8 = 5.25
$42 buys less basket of goods in year 2. It means that the value of money has declined

1. The highest risk for the exporter is in a. Letter of credit c. Advance payment b. Bill of exchange d. Consignment sales
Answer:
1. The highest risk for the exporter is in
d. Consignment sales.
Explanation:
a) A consignment sale is not an actual sale. The risk remains with the exporter until the consignee has sold the goods and remitted the required amount to the consignor (exporter). With a letter of credit, the exporter has made an actual sale guaranteed for payment by the importer's bank. With advance payment, the exporter has received some payment for the goods before the importer receives them. With a bill of exchange, there is a formal instrument acknowledging the sale. Therefore, a bill of exchange, letter of credit, and advance payment are used for actual sales, while consignment sale is for transfers of goods for sale.

1. Sharon, a newly engaged woman, saw an advertisement in a bridal magazine for a beautiful pearl necklace priced at $69.99 from Precious Jewelry. She thought the necklace would be a wonderful present for her bridesmaids, so she ordered 5 necklaces from Precious Jewelry. After a few weeks, Sharon received a letter, along with her returned check from Precious Jewelry. The letter stated that the jeweler was sorry they could not fill her order because they had been overwhelmed with so many requests that their supply of necklaces ran out very quickly
Question Completion:
a. List the 3 elements of an offer and describe each (in your own words).
b. Did Precious Jewelry make an offer when they placed the ad in the magazine? Did Sharon make an offer when she placed the order? Why or why not?
c. What will be the likely outcome if Sharon sues Precious Jewelry to force them to fill her order? Explain your answer.
Answer:
a. The three elements of a valid offer are Communication, Commitment, and Definite Terms. Communication of an offer should be between the offeror and the offeree and not with the general public. Commitment in an offer requires that the two parties are identified and are committed to the exchange of offer and acceptance. Definite terms means that the terms of the offer must be clear and well-understood by the involved parties.
b. Precious Jewelry did not make an offer when it placed the ad in the magazine. The ad was an invitation to offer. Sharon was the party that made the offer when she ordered for the jewelries. It was then left for Precious Jewelry to accept or reject the offer.
c. If Sharon sues Precious Jewelry to force them to fill her order, she does not have the locus standi because there is no basis for the existence of a contract between Sharon and Precious Jewelry since Sharon's offer was not accepted by Precious Jewelry and there was no consideration.
Explanation:
For a valid contract to exist between Sharon and Precious Jewelry, the five elements of a contract must be present. They include valid offer, acceptance, mutual consent (or assent), consideration, and legality (including capacity).

If there is a shortage in the market, the market price is too _______________. The quantity demanded will be ________________ the quantity supplied. Thus, the market price must ____________ , which will _____________ the quantity supplied and ____________ the quantity demanded.
Answer:
low
greater
increase
increase
decrease
Explanation:
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demand equal quantity supplied. Above equilibrium price there is a surplus - quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.
Below equilibrium price there is a shortage - quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied
When there is a shortage in the market, the market price is too low. As a result, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. Shortage would lead to an increase in price towards equilibrium. This would lead to an increase in the quantity supplied and a decrease in quantity demanded
