Which variable of the marketing mix is most affected by Dell’s decision to become a "make-to-stock" manufacturer?

Answer:

The Intrinsic value is calculated by multiplying the Earnings per share by the P/E ratio.

1. The lowest P/E ratio is 21.37 so the intrinsic value is;

Intrinsic value  = 2.1 * 21.37

= $44.88

2. Highest P/E ratio is 23.49

Intrinsic value = 2.1 * 23.49

= $49.33

3. The average P/E ratio is;

= (22.07 + 23.49 + 21.37)/3

= 22.31

Intrinsic value  = 2.1 * 22.31

= $46.85

Answer:

Year       Price        Dividend           Return

1             43.31               -                       -

2           48.29           0.51                   12.68%

3            57.21           0.54                  19.59%

4           45.29           0.60                 -19.89%

5           52.21            0.65                  16.71%

6           61.29            0.73                 18.79%

arithmetic returns basically refer to the mean (or average) of the returns = (12.68% + 19.59% - 19.89% + 16.71% + 18.79%) / 5 = 47.88% / 5 = 9.58%

geometric returns involves multiplying the returns and then squaring them = ⁵√(1.1268 x 1.1959 x 0.8011 x 1.1671 x 1.1879) - 1 = 1.0840 - 1 = 0.084 = 8.40%

Current Assets

Cash                                                                          $57.2

Receivables                                                              $0.5

Non Current Assets

Investment Assets                                                     $79.4

Other Assets                                                              $9.3    

Total Assets                                                              $148    

Current Liabilities                                                      $2.9

Non Current Liabilities                                             $102.6

Total Liabilities                                                         $105.5

EQUITY

Common Stock                                                           $39.2

Closing Retained Earnings (Step1)                            $3.3  

Total Equity                                                                 $42.5

Step 1: Find Closing Retained Earnings

As we know that:

Closing Retained Earnings = Total Assets - Total Liabilities - Common Stock

Here

Total Assets is $148 million

Total liabilities is $105.5 million

Common Stock is $39.2 million

By putting these values in the above equation, we have:

Closing Retained Earnings = $148 million  -  $105.5 million  -  $39.2 million

Closing Retained Earnings = $3.3 million

Cash flow from operating activities on the basis of the given income statement is $164,400.

[tex]= \text{Net income} + \text{Depreciation} + \text{Decrease in receivables} - \text{Increase in inventory} + \text{Increase in accounts payable}[/tex]

[tex]= $136,000 + $33,600 + $11,300 - $21,800 + $5,300[/tex]

[tex]= $164,400[/tex]

Because depreciation is not a cash item, net cash flow supplied or consumed by operational activities equals net income plus depreciation, plus the reduction in accounts receivable minus the rise in product inventory plus the increase in accounts payable.

The given options do not match the calculated option. I believe $164,400 is the net cash.

Answer:

Aurora should reject the offer because it would lead to a loss of (-$11,025)

Explanation:

Given the information above, we can sum up the variable costs to be;

Variable costs = $38 + $1.15

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The four phases of a product's lifestyle are:

1.  Introduction: this is the early stage of a product when a particular product is introduced into the market. At this stage, the market is relatively unknown, the sales are generally low, and no established customer base.

2.  Growth: this is a stage characterized by by-products' rise in sales and identification, and the product is beginning to have a customer base that is building up gradually at a relative pace.

3.  Maturity: this is a phase in which a product has reached or closer to the peak in terms of sales and identity. Here the many consumers have been converted to customers fully.

4.  Decline: This is a stage characterized by its saturation level in terms of sales and identity. At this point, the sales tend to reduce and there is little or no new consumer capture.

The three common reasons that new products fail are:

1.  Product has no originality: over time, it has been observed that products that no special purpose or have distinct benefits have a higher tendency to fail.

2.  Timing of production: for a new product that is released when the demand for such products is generally lower, has a higher tendency to fail.

3.  Product weakness: if a new product has an obvious weakness, it quickly fails. This weakness can be as a result of low-quality materials in production.

Answer:

2.64%

Explanation:

It requires application of basic time value of money function

n = 17

FV = $308,700

PV = $198,300

FV = PV * (1 + r)n  

$308,700 = $198,300 * (1 + r)^17

$308,700 / $198,300 = ($198,300 * (1 + r)^17) / $198,300  

1.556732 = (1 + r)^17

Taking 17th root of equation

1.0264 = 1 + r

r = 2.64%

Available Options Are:

A. Create an owner-based sharing rule to grant access to account records that have the same segment to all sales manager roles.

B. Change the role hierarchy and put all of the sales managers in the US and Canada in the same role.

C. Create criteria-based sharing rules to grant access to account records that have the same segment to all sales manager roles.

D. Create a public group and include all accounts of the same segment and grant access through a permission set.

Answer:

Option A. Create an owner-based sharing rule to grant access to account records that have the same segment to all sales manager roles

Explanation:

This owner based sharing will allow the sales manager to access information but he will not be able to alter information which gives a right to access information only. This sharing of information will resolve the sales manager concern and will also him and other sales manager to use this information to make informed decisions. Hence Option A is correct.

Putting in the same role would manipulate the data because the data entered by each sales manager will not be distinguished easily and thus the system will not produce meaningful results. Hence Option B is also incorrect.

Option C is also incorrect because allowing access on meeting certain criteria would result in restriction of data. Thus it is not the solution.

Option D allowing access to all the data would not be necessary as some of the data might require protection and also that it might be meaningless to have private accounts. Thus the option D is incorrect.

Answer:

Exchange rate appreciation

Explanation:

Exchange rate appreciation is when there is an increase in the value of country 'A's currency when compared with county 'B' s currency. A country's exchange rate would appreciate if it is experiencing higher economic growth, fewer or lower rate of inflation etc.

The effect of exchange rate appreciation is that the value of the currency for a country whose exchange rate appreciate against the other country will be higher hence makes import cheaper for them whereas export becomes more expensive. There could also be a reduction in inflation for a country whose currency appreciate because most firms would usually cost costs and also because import prices are falling.

Note: This is an incomplete question as the concluding parts are gotten from the internet.

Accumulated depreciation - equipment

year 2 $476,000, year 1, $560,000

To get cash received from the sale of the equipment, we will calculate it as

= Change in accumulated depreciation - loss on sale of equipment,

Where;

Change in accumulated depreciation = Year 1 balance - Year 2 balance

= $560,000 - $476,000

= $84,000

Whereas the loss on sale of equipment is $11,200

Therefore;

Cash received = $84,000 - $11,200

= $72,800

Answer: c. to Q in the long run.

Explanation:

A decrease in money supply will mean a decrease in the amount that households have for consumption. This will decrease Aggregate demand and force it to the left where it will then intersect with the SRAS at point R.

This will mean that the economy is in a recessionary gap as they are producing less than they can.

In the long run, the reduced economic activity will mean that some costs of factors of production like wages will be lower so more companies will hire labor and produce more which will increase the production in the economy.

This will move the SRAS curve to the right where it will intersect with the AD curve and the LRAS curve at point Q.
