Answer:

$599

Explanation:

The maximum willingness to pay for the Gutter Snipe is the present value of annual payment made to the neighbor.

Annual Payment = $150  

Time = 5 Years

Rate = 0.08

Present Value of Annuity = P*[1 - (1 + r)^-n / r]

                                          = 150*[1 - (1 + 0.08)^-5 /0.08]

                                          = $599

Therefore, The most you would be willing to pay to buy GutterSnipe for your house is $599.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is B) Buyer Intentions Method also known as <em>Consumers' Buyer Plan.</em>

Explanation:

This plan involves approaching customers to elicit information from them about their likelihood to make purchases during a particular period. It is most effective when the number of customers is small relative to the ability of the business to reach out to them.

A sales forecast based on this method has several demerits such as:

  1. The customers may change their minds anytime without consultation with the business
  2. It is  an uneconomical way to do a forecast when the client base is large
  3. Predicting sales over the long-run using this method is statistically impossible

It has a few merits in that the information is obtained first hand from the consumers or buyer and the real intentions of the buyers at the time of collecting information is known.

Cheers!
