Incomplete question. The Options;

a. Candidates for elected office

b. Early majority

c. Technology diffusers

d. Innovators

Answer:

<u>b. Early majority</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Recall we are told that Nigel loves trying new tech and is <em>"financially well-off",</em> so he falls under the category of those who are termed early majority who quickly try/adopt new technologies.

Also, the early majority are usually<em> "comfortable with the risks and uncertainties associated with" </em>new tech products, thus they are less worried about not deriving value for their money.

Genna Raiter, the president and CEO of Car Keepers Garage, has asked several of her managers and employees to help establish a s
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The options for this question are the following:

A. payoff matrix.

B. mission statement.

C. tactical plan.

D. organization chart.

The correct answer is B. Mission statement.

Explanation:

A good mission statement is a useful tool for well-managed businesses. It is the "why" of business strategy.

A mission statement defines the objectives of what a company does by:

Your clients

The employees

Their owners

Some of the best mission statements also extend to include the fourth and fifth dimensions: what the company does for its community and for the world.

In terms of marketing, a mission statement is a brief paragraph that describes what your business does and why it exists. If that sounds like useless marketing that could be labeled as a long list of the most important things to do, you're not alone.

The reality is that many mission statements are ineffective. Usually, they are the ones written in minutes with very little thought from their creators.

Hybrid cars are touted as a "green" alternative; however,the financial aspects of hybrid ownership are not as clear. Consider th
lord [1]

Answer:

a)

the hybrid model initially costs $5,200 more than the regular model, plus you have another $330 in extra ownership costs per year. If you plan to own the hybrid car for 6 years, then you must recoup $5,200 / 6 = $866.67 + $330 = $1,196.67 per year.

the cost of driving 1 mile with the hybrid car = $3.60 / 27 = $0.1333

the cost of driving 1 mile with the regular model = $3.60 / 19 = $0.1895

you will save = $0.0562 per mile driven

you would need to drive $1,196.67 / $0.0562 = 21,293 miles per year to make the decision worth it

b)

if you only drive 15,500 miles per year, then you would need to save $0.0772 per mile

that would only result if gasoline's price was:

x/19 - x/27 = 0.0772

0.0526x - 0.037x = 0.0772

0.0156x = 0.0772

x = 0.0772 / 0.0156 = $4.95 per gallon

c)

you must first determine the present value of all additional expenses related to purchasing a hybrid:

year         cash flow

0                -5,200

1                 -330

2                -330

3                -330

4                -330

5                -330

6                -330

Using a financial calculator, the PV = -$6,637.24

now we must use an annuity formula to determine the annual savings required using a 10% discount rate and 6 periods:

annual savings = $6,637.24 / 4.3553 (PV annuity factor, 10%,  6 periods) = $1,523.95

so you must save $1,523.95 per year and that is equivalent to $1,523.95 / $0.0562 = 27,116.47 = 27,116 miles

d)

you also need to save $1,523.95, but you only drive 15,500 miles, so the savings per mile = $0.0983

x/19 - x/27 = 0.0983

0.0526x - 0.037x = 0.0983

0.0156x = 0.0983

x = 0.0983 / 0.0156 = $6.30 per gallon

Contact [7]

Answer:

The amount of deposit is 369.77 dollars

Explanation:

We can calculate the amount of deposit using present value and the number of payment periods, which is 17. It tells us about the value of our future income as measured in today's dollars. Future value for all four years is 1600 dollars. Formula for present value is future value/(1+interest rate)^number of periods. In this case it will be 1600/1.09^17 or 1600/4.327 equals 369.77.
