Which of the following marketing variables is concerned with hiring and training of an organization's sales force?

ikadub [295]

Answer:

D) consume more of Good X or less of Good Y until the marginal utility per dollar for Good X and Good Y is equal.

Explanation:

Since Joanna's marginal utility per dollar is higher for good X than per good Y, then she must consume a combination of both goods until their marginal utility per dollar is equal.

Since marginal utility is diminishing, if she reduces her consumption of good Y, maybe it will increase and match X's. Or she can choose to consume more X until its marginal utility diminishes and matches Y's.

In 3-4 sentences describe how economic liberty helps water the "money tree" in a free enterprise.

Answer:

It helps giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business

Explanation:

Vic, using the money tree metaphor is awesome in order to explain. Think about your free enterprise (let’s say… a store that sells trees!).

What you need in order to start and run a business? A place to sell those trees, employees, products, infrastructure, etc., and capital to fund all that. All that business plans and models that you will develop in order to have a successful business will require that you make economic decisions, actions. And, in order to make those decisions, you need economic liberty, which is exactly the ability one has to make economic decisions without political, economic or social blocks.

Imagine that in your region you can only sell trees with red leaves, or your trees are taxed much more than trees coming from overseas, or that employment law requires that no employee gets near a plant (who knows, it could be to prevent allergic season!). That would make super hard to develop your business right?

That’s how economic liberty could help you grow your money tree; into giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business.

Ted is installing lighting in a new block of 12 apartments. He will need 60 metres of cable for each apartment. Each new spool h

lina2011 [118]

The total length of cable that is needed for the installation of the lighting in the new apartments is calculated by multiplying the number of apartments and the length of cable needed for each apartment. The calculation is shown below.
L = (12 apartments)(60 m/apartment) = 720 meters of cable

As given in the problem, each spool holds 100 meters of cable. The number of spools needed is therefore calculated by dividing the total length by the length of cable per spool as shown below.
S = (720 meters of cable) / (100 meters/spool)
S = 7.20 spools

Hence, the smallest number of new spools that Ted will need for this job is equal to 8 spools.

Imagine that you are holding 7,000 shares of stock, currently selling at $70 per share. You are ready to sell the shares but wou

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

Number of Shares held = 7000

Current Price = $ 70

Portfolio Value = 7000 * 70 = 490,000

If continued to hold the shares

Portfolio value at $ 57 = 7000 * 57 = 399,000

Portfolio Value at $ 77 = 7000 * 77 = 539,000

If implemented collar strategy - Selling a call option and buying a put option

Call option

Strike Price = 75

Price of the option = $ 2

Put Option

Strike Price = 65

Price of the option = $ 4

Amount received on sale of Call option = 7000 * 2 = 14,000

Amount paid on buying a put option = 7000 * 4 = 28,000

Value of the Portfolio = 7000 * 70 + 14000 – 28000 = 490,000 +14000 – 28000 = 476,000

If the stock price in January is 57

As the strike price 75 is higher than the current market price of 57, the call option buyer will allow the option to expire

As the strike price of 65 is higher than the current price of 57, the investor will utilise the put option

Profit from Put option can be obtained by buying shares from market and selling the same under the put option

Profit from put option =7000 * (65-57) = 7000 * 8 = 56000

Value of the portfolio = Holding Value at current price + premium received – premium paid+ profit from put option

= 7000 * 57 + 14000 – 28000 + 56000

= 399000 + 14000 – 28000 + 56000

= 441,000

If the stock price in January is 70

As the strike price 75 is higher than the market price of 70, the call option buyer will allow the option to expire

As the strike price of 65 is lower than market price of 70, the invest will allow the put option to expire

Portfolio Value = Holding value at current market price + premium received – premium paid

= 7000 * 70 + 14000 – 28000

= 490000 + 14000 – 28000 = 476,000

If the market price in January is 77

As the strike price of 75 is lower than market price of 77, the buyer of call option will enforce the call option

Loss from call option = 7000 * (77-75) = 7000 * 2 = 14000

As the strike price of 65 is lower than market price of 77, the investor will allow the put option to expire

Portfolio Value = Holding value at current market price + premium received – premium paid – loss on call option

Portfolio value = 7000 * 77 + 14000 – 28000 – 14000

= 539000 + 14000 – 28000 – 14000

= 511,000
