When a product price increases, why does the substitution effect encourage a consumer to buy less of a product?
a) It works because other products are now relatively more expensive than they were before.
b) It works because the product is now relatively more expensive than it was before.
c) It works because when the price of one good increases, the consumer’s income effectively increases.
d) It works because the real income of the consumer has been increased.
When a product price increases, the substitution effect encourages a consumer to buy less of a product because the product is now relatively more expensive than it was before. Thus the correct option is B.
What is a product?A product is referred to as final or finished goods distributed in the market to serve the customers. This product can be both goods and services in which goods are tangible and services are intangible.
When a product's price increases, consumers may transfer to less expensive alternatives, which results in a decline in sales known as the substitution effect.
The substitution effect encourages a consumer to purchase less of a product when the price of the product increases since the product is now comparatively more costly than it was before.
Therefore, option B is appropriate.

Equivalent units for the molding department totaled 18,600 during January for conversion costs. Fifteen thousand units were transferred out to the finishing department. If the items remaining in ending inventory are 40% complete as to conversion costs and 80% complete as to materials, how many physical units are in ending inventory?
Answer:
9,000 units
Explanation:
The 15,000 units transferred to the finishing department were 100% complete with respect to material and conversion cost. The balance 18,600 - 15,000 = 3,600 equivalent units are there at the ending inventory with respect to conversion cost. The ending inventory is 40% complete with respect to conversion cost. These equivalent units have been calculated as below:
=> Physical units in ending inventory * Degree of completion with respect to conversion cost = Equivalent units
Physical units * 40% = 3,600
Physical units = 3,600 / 40%
Physical units = 9,000 units
So, the Physical units in ending inventory is 9,000 units
$300 invested with compound interest at a rate of 25% per year for 8 years.
Answer:
$1,788.14
Explanation:
The applicable formula A= P ( 1+ r)^2
Where A is the amount after 8 years
P = principal amount: $300
r = interest rate: 25% or 0.25
n =number of period :8
A= $300 x ( 1+ 0.25) ^ 8
A=$300 x 5.9604644
A= $1,788.139
A=$1,788.14
Amount after 8 years =$1,788.14

Cost of Goods Sold is a direct cost related to sale of goods. In process costing it is difficult to accurately value this amount since it contains the average cost. this means that units never sold would have been included in the calculation of the cost of goods sold.
Explanation:
It is important to first calculate the equivalent cost unit in each department to be able to solve the question. Calculations of equivalent units are shown below :
Mixing Department
Equivalent Units :
Conversion costs = 900 x 80% + 10,900 = 11,620
Material costs = 900 + 10,900 = 11,800
Equivalent Units Costs
Conversion = ($2,250 + $140,000 + $101, 770) ÷ 11,620 = $21.00
Material costs = ($14,880 + $132,600) ÷ 11,800 = $12.50
Finishing Department
Equivalent Units :
Process 1 = 11.000 + 500 = 11.500
Conversion costs = 500 x 40% + 11.000 = 11,200
Material costs = 11.000 + 500 = 11.500
Equivalent Units Costs
Process 1 = ($44,250 + $365,150) ÷ 11.500 = $35.60
Conversion = ($12,960 + $250,000 + $149,200) ÷ 11,200 = $36.80
Material costs = ($0 + $143,000) ÷ 11,500 = $12.43
Assess each of the "Post Marketing Concept Approaches" from the eText with regard to their suitability to individual competitive strategies. As an example, determine the marketing concept appropriate for cost leadership strategy and make the arguments in support of your perspectives.
Answer:
The marketing concept that is most suitable to Cost Leadership Strategy is the Production Concept.
The production concept of marketing places a strong emphasis on operations and how it can be constantly fine-tuned to deliver the required products as and when required at the quantity required and at the lowest cost possible. Minimal costs is crucial here because the market being played by the entrepreneur or the business is a growing one, most concerned about product availability and low prices than on quality.
So in order to come out on top as the leader with the lowest production cost, the business must invest in processes that help them do just that.
In this market, the quality is approximately standard across board. This means people worry less about quality and are focused on getting the same quality at the lowest price possible. In a perfect market, people who do large purchases will gravitate to the business with the lowest price even if the difference in the price of that of other producers are only a small margin.
Explanation:
The product concept marketing approach focuses on delivering the most exquisite product in the market. This an example of a company/companies in the mobile telecommunications market that do this are: Apple and Samsung.
In business, the trade-offs are usually between quality, cost and time.
It speaks to the fact that the higher the quality, the higher the cost. This Product concept as a marketing strategy rests on the premise that there are enough potential customer for the product and that existing ones are too loyal to shift their focus because of the added cost required for their products;
The selling concept: the premise for this concept derives from the assumption that the degree to which people purchase a product is directly proportional to the intensity of selling efforts. A company that adopts this concept will most likely have a very huge advertising budget and a large sales team/outlets.
The Marketing Concept: This concept takes root in the notion that for a business to succeed, it must outdo its rivals with regard to value delivery. Companies that adopt this approach seem to combine all the other concepts into one holistic marketing strategy because the focus is on gaining the most competitive advantage.
The Societal Marketing Concept:
As consumers grew more aware of the impacts of business activities on the environment and society, buying decisions started to be influenced by whether or not the company was being ethical. Ethical issues under consideration were:
a) does the production process of the company impact the environment negatively?
b) is the company involved in any social development project?
c) are there any illegal and or unethical issues on their supply chain? such as child labor, illegal acquisition of raw material, human trafficking etc.
Several global brands in the clothing business for instance, have recently been put in the spotlight for tolerating child slavery in one of the countries of origin for their raw material. This modern-day concept has become very important for most if not all multinational companies.

What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month?
a. $17,397 U
b. $16,817 U
c. $312 F
d. $17,085 U
Answer:
b. $16,817 U
Explanation:
Calculation for What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month
Using this formula
Variable overhead Efficiency Variance= Standard Rate(Actual Hours - Budgeted Hours)
Let plug in the formula
Variable overhead Efficiency Variance= $12.55 per hour[2,900 hours-(7.8 hours*200 units)]
Variable overhead Efficiency Variance= $12.55 per hour*(2,900 hours-1,560 hours)
Variable overhead Efficiency Variance= $12.55 per hour*1,340 hours
Variable overhead Efficiency Variance=$16,817U
Therefore the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month will be $16,817U

A firm has provided you with the following information:
Output 30
Variable Cost $1,900
Fixed Cost $120
Marginal Cost $50
Price $50
a. What is the firm's short-run profit if they produce using the MC=MR rule?
b. What is the firm's short-run profit if they produce nothing?
c. What will be the firm's production decision in the short-run?
1. Shutdown
2. Exit
3. Operate
Answer:
(a) Output produced = 30 , Price = $50
Total revenue = Output produced * Price = 30 units * $50 = $1,500
Total Cost= Variable cost + Fixed cost = $1900 + 120 = $2020
At profit maximization or loss minimization point, MR = MC.
Corresponding to an output level of 30, MR=MC =$50
Note: Price is constant at $50. So, the marginal revenue will be $50 at each level of output
Profit = Total revenue - Total Cost.
Profit = $1500 - $2020
Profit = -$520.
The firm's short-run profit is -$520 if they produce using MR=MC.
(b) If a firm produces nothing, then a firm has to bear a fixed cost of $120. It means there is a loss of $120 or a profit of -$120. So, short-run profit is -$120 if they produce nothing.
(c) In the short run, if the firm produces then bear a loss of $520. if a firm produces nothing then bear a loss of $120. So, it is better to shut down the production in the short run in order to minimize the loss of the firm.

Discussion: Resistance to change is a normal everyday aspect in the workplace. Note what happens to the organizational climate when this resistance occurs and any tactics to reduce negative connotations when dealing with change.
Explanation:
Resistance to change occurs when there is a change in the way operations are carried out in an organization. These changes can be the implementation of new policies and procedures, system, work design, etc.
This situation can cause conflict, insecurities and create a negative organizational environment that hinders the development and productivity of employees. Generally resistance to changes occurs due to the lack of sufficient information that the employee has about the new changes that will happen in the company, which can cause insecurity, fear of losing his job, etc.
For this situation to be avoided, there needs to be a complete explanation of how the changes will occur and why it will be beneficial for the company and the work. It is necessary that the change takes place in an adaptive way, that there is necessary training and availability of information through several channels so that all employees are integrated with the news.
The President of a company that produces an electronic gadget and sells it in a competitive market observed that the demand for the product is represented by a linear equation of the form P = 10 - .2Qd and the supply by P = .2Qs. He asked the Vice President for Marketing what P and Q will be at equilibrium?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Demand is
P = 10 - 0.2Qd
And
supply is
P = 0.2QS
Now as we know that
Equilibrium would be
Qd = Qs = Q
So
10-0.2Q = 0.2Q
0.4Q = 10
Q = 25 units is the equilibrium quantity
and P = 0.2Q
= 0.2 × 25
= $5 is the equilibrium price
If the current exchange rate of the Mexican peso and the Brazilian real is 0.20 real per peso, and the equilibrium exchange rate is 0.18 real per peso, which of the following describes the foreign exchange market for the Mexican peso?
a) There is a shortage of pesos and the peso will appreciate.
b) There is a shortage of pesos and the peso will depreciate.
c) There is a surplus of pesos and the peso will appreciate.
d) There is a surplus of pesos and the peso will depreciate.
e) There is a surplus of pesos and the real will depreciate.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Exchange rate is the rate at which 1 unit of the base currency is exchanged for the foreign currency.
the equilibrium exchange rate is 0.18 real per peso. Thus the current exchange rate is selling at a higher rate than what is indicated by the equilibrium exchange rate .
This means that the peso (base currency) is buying more unit of the real (foreign currency) at the current exchange rate.
This means there is a shortage of the Pesos. The demand for Pesos exceeds it supply, thus exchange rate would rise. When there is a shortage, value of the currency rises
The exchange rate is the rate is currencies for a single unit in the context of its value when exchanged against the foreign currency. It is used to convert domestic currency into foreign currency.
The statement describing the foreign exchange market for the Mexican peso is correct in option A) There is a shortage of pesos and the peso will appreciate.
In the given case the exchange rate is 0.18 real per peso this shows that the present or the current exchange rate is selling at a higher rate as compared to the indicated equilibrium exchange rate.
It can be concluded that the peso which is the base currency is buying more units at the current exchange rate of foreign currency. This shows the shortage of Pesos.
The shortage occurred due to excess demand over the supply of Pesos that will raise the exchange rate.

Answer:
When a firm shifts from transactional to value-added and relationship approach of selling the following changes takes place in the way the salesperson approaches he customer and their job:
Whilst the objective the transactional approach is to make a sale, the relational approach is to build trust. When a customer trusts their sales person, it means they hold the sales person to put their interests first or at least take care of their interests whilst taking care of their too. The relational approach is more focused on retaining existing customers than making new ones. This is the obverse of a transactional relationship. It is said that it costs about 5 times extra to get a new client than what it takes to keep one. Thus the smart company focuses on honing this skill until they are better off for it. in a transactional approach, the nature of the relationship is relatively short, whilst it is stronger and longer in a relational approach. A Relational approach to selling can sometimes occur in the grey line between personal and official relationships.In a relationship-based approach to selling, the firm focuses on adding value in the primary areas of concern for the client as well as other areas. For example, a client - the CEO of a start-up requires recruitment, onboarding, and standard operating procedure as services from a HR firm. As a relational HR person, the best way to proceed would be to give him exactly what he wants and stil go ahead to add more value in other areas by giving templates of letter of appointment to the client.Cheers!

13.) An investor is in a 30% combined federal plus state tax bracket. If corporate bonds offer 6% yields, what yield must municipals offer for the investor to prefer them to corporate bonds
Answer:
the yield that must offer for the investor in order to prefer them is 4.2%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The after tax yield is
= Corporate bond yield × (1 - tax rate)
= 6% × (1 - 0.30)
= 6% × 0.70
= 4.2%
hence, the yield that must offer for the investor in order to prefer them is 4.2%

a. Group decision
b. Group dynamic
c. Group cohesiveness measure

1. It is an unwritten rule
2. It is majorly to ensure that order is maintained so that the purpose of the group remains undefeated.

What is the Total expected equity financing for Amazon’s purchase of Walmart, at the assumed 50-50% equity and debt financing deal mix provided
Answer:
The correct solution is "$241,356".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Share price,
P0 = 140.50
Acquisition premium,
p = 20%
Diluted shares outstanding,
N = 2,863 MM
Now,
For Amazon, the purchase price every share will be:
⇒ [tex]P=P0\times (1 + p)[/tex]
On putting the values, we get
⇒ [tex]=140.50\times (1 + 20 \ percent)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=168.60[/tex]
The purchase consideration will be:
= [tex]P\times N[/tex]
= [tex]168.60\times 2,863[/tex]
= [tex]482,702 \ MM[/tex]
So that,
The total equity financing expected will be:
= [tex]Purchase \ consideration\times Percentage \ of \ equity \ financing[/tex]
= [tex]482,702\times 50 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]241,351 \ MM[/tex] ($)
Thus the above is the correct answer.

Pre-Fab purchased some machinery two years ago for $337,600. These assets are classified as five-year property for MACRS. The MACRS rates are .2, .32, .192, .1152, .1152, .0576, for years 1 to 6, respectively. The company is currently replacing this equipment with newer models at a cost of $528,000. The old equipment is being sold for $149,000. What is the aftertax salvage value from this sale if the tax rate is 35 percent
Answer:
$153,566.80
Explanation:
Book value of old machine = Machinery Cost*(1 - Accumulated depreciation)
Book value of old machine = $337,600*(1 - 0.20 - 0.32)
Book value of old machine = $337,600*0.48
Book value of old machine = $162,048
Loss on sale = Sale value - Book value
Loss on sale = $149,000 - $162,048
Loss on sale = -$13,048
Tax saving due to loss (cash inflow) = $13,048 * 0.35
Tax saving due to loss (cash inflow) = $4,566.80
Total cash inflow = $4,566.8 + $149,000
Total cash inflow = $153,566.80
Therefore, the after-tax salvage value from this sale is $153,566.80.
