A team of analysts at Amazon is researching the viability of producing a smart watch. How might they estimate potential demand for their smart watch?
a. Consider the four-step process that many companies follow to estimate the market demand curve for their product. Place the steps in order, with the first step in the highest position and the last step in the lowest position.
survey customers
plot the demand curve
scale up the quantities demanded by the survey respondents
add up the total quantity demanded by the customers at each price point
b. Select two factors that the analysts want to keep in mind to create the most accurate demand estimates.
cost of inputs to production
information about climate change
existing competition in the market
consumer demographic information

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. In order to estimate demand the analysts should;

Survey customersAdd up the total quantity demanded by the customers at each price pointScale up the quantities demanded by the survey respondents.Plot the demand curve

When the analysts go into the market to research, they should start by surveying a sample of customers. They can then add up the quantity that was demanded by the customers at each price point to find out the total demand.

They should then scale up these results to see what the total market demand is. Then finally they should then use the scaled up data to construct a demand curve.

b. Two important factors

existing competition in the market - when creating demand estimates the analysts should keep in mind that they may have competition who are already selling their product. Their demand analysis should take into account factors like the people who have already bought the product and might no longer needing it or the price that the other competitors are selling at.consumer demographic information - demand also depends on demographic factors such as age and economic class. Some products are not very well used by the older generation such as smart watches so the researchers need to ensure that they have the right age groups. The watch might also cost an amount that some people cannot afford so this must be taken into account as well.

If you cannot think of a better way to say what another author said, it is best to:_______.a. keep reading the passage until you can paraphrase.
b. quote the author, no matter how long or how often.
c. substitute a few words in the sentence for synonyms.
d. leave that source out of your paper.

Answers

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Quoting can be defined as taking exact phrase or sentence from other text and adding it into one's writing.

Quotes are incorporated into a text when it is difficult to paraphrase the text. Sometimes paraphrasing the text also takes away the essence of the text, in the case also, the writer include the quote.

The rule of quoting a text is always to cite the source, the author, etc to avoid plagiarism.

So, the correct way to say what another author is saying without hampering the true message would be to include the author's quote (using correct citation format). Even the long quotes can be included and everytime the quote is included remember to cite it.

Thus the correct option is B.

Answer:

B. Quote the author, no matter how long or how often

Explanation:

If there is not a better way to say what the author has said we should quote the text, reading the passage until you can paraphrase will not work if you cannot express the another author's ideas or text in your own words.

Substituting a few words won't be helpful either, as the other lines will be considered  plagiarized. You also cannot leave the source out of paper, if you do so for a number of sources then it may affect the quality of your work.

Billy Penny is trying to determine how many units of two types of cordless telephones to produce each day. One of these is the standard model, while the other is the deluxe model. The profit per unit on the standard model is $90, while the profit per unit on the deluxe model is $120. Each of these requires 30 minutes of assembly time, while the Deluxe model requires 35 minutes of assembly time. The Standard model requires 10 minutes of inspection time, while the Deluxe model requires 15 minutes of inspection time. The company must fill an order for 6 Deluxe models. There are 450 minutes of assembly time and 180 minutes of inspection time available each day.

Required:
Formulate as an LP, solve using QM, then interpret your output.

Answers

Answer:

The optimal solution is 3 standard telephones and 10 deluxe telephones for a maximum profit of $1,470.

Explanation:

we have to maximize profit following the equation 90s + 120d

the constraints are:

30s + 35d ≤ 450  

10s + 15d ≤ 180

d ≥ 6  

s ≥ 0

using solver, the optimal solution is 3 standard telephones and 10 deluxe telephones for a maximum profit of $1,470.

we can check our solution:

(90 x 3) + (120 x 10) = 1,470

(30 x 3) + (35 x 10) = 440 ≤ 450

(10 x 3) + (15 x 10) = 180 ≤ 180

10 ≥ 6

Answer:

Hope it helps

Before using a check as a method of payment for his new chair, Yuri must consider several factors to ensure a smooth transaction. Hence option D is correct.

What must he consider before using that method of payment?

First and foremost, he should verify that the merchant accepts checks as a form of payment. Additionally, he should confirm that he has enough money in his checking account to cover the cost of the chair and any other expenses or automatic payments that may come due soon.

It's also important for Yuri to ensure that he writes the check properly, including the correct date, payee name, and amount in both numerical and written form. Failure to do so could result in the check being rejected or delayed, which could cause problems for both Yuri and the merchant.

If Yuri has a history of bounced checks or insufficient funds in his account, he may want to consider alternative payment methods or take steps to improve his financial situation before attempting to pay with a check.

It's also a good idea for Yuri to keep track of his checkbook balance and reconcile it regularly to avoid any surprises or overdraft fees.

Overall, paying with a check can be a convenient and secure way to make purchases, but it's important for Yuri to be mindful of these considerations to ensure a successful transaction.

According to the law of supply, assuming other factors are held constant

b. as the supply for bread increases, the price of bread will also increase.
c. as the price of bread increases, the quantity of bread supplied will increase.

Answers

Answer:

c. as the price of bread increases, the quantity of bread supplied will increase.

Explanation:

According to the law of supply we find out that there is a direct relationship existing between price of a good and quantity no supplied of same good. The law states that holding all factors fixed an increase in price brings about a resultant increase in quantity supplied. With this in mind, as the price of bread soars or goes up, the quantity of bread supplied would also increase too.

Uncollectible accounts; allowance method estimating bad debts as percentage of net sales vs. direct write-off method [LO7-5, 7-6) Ervin Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is established as a percentage of credit sales. For 2021, net credit sales totaled $6,500,000, and the estimated bad debt percentage is 1.50%. No previously written-off accounts receivable were reinstated during 2021. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $62,000 at the beginning of 2021 and $50,000, after adjusting entries, at the end of 2021. Required: 1. What is bad debt expense for 2021 as a percent of net credit sales? 2. Assume Ervin makes no other adjustment of bad debt expense during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021. 3. If the company uses the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021? 1. Bad debt expense $97,5002. Accounts receivable written off $15,0003. Bad debt expense $98,430

Answers

Answer:

1. Bad debt expense = $97,500

2. Accounts receivable written off = $109,500

3. Bad debt expense for 2021 = $109,500

Explanation:

Bad debts expense refers to an uncollectible accounts expense that occurs because goods or services are delivered on credit a company to a customer who did not paid the amount owed.

The questions can be answered as follows:

1. What is bad debt expense for 2021 as a percent of net credit sales?

Under this, bad debt can be calculated using the following formula:

Bad expense = Net credit sales * Estimated bad debt percentage ....... (1)

Where;

Net credit sales = $6,500,000

Estimated bad debt percentage = 1.50%

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Bad debt expense = $6,500,000 * 1.50% = $97,500

2. Assume Ervin makes no other adjustment of bad debt expense during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Accounts receivable written off = Beginning uncollectible balance + Bad debt expenses - Ending uncollectible balance ............ (2)

Where;

Beginning uncollectible balance = $62,000

Bad debt expenses = $97,500

Ending uncollectible balance = $50,000

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

Accounts receivable written off during 2021 = $62,000 + $97,500 - $50,000 = $109,500

3. If the company uses the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021?

Under the direct write-off method, the exact amount of uncollectible accounts as they are specifically identified are recorded.

Based on this explanation, bad debt expense for 2021 is equal to the accounts receivable written off during 2021 calculated in part 2 above. Therefore, we have:

Bad debt expense for 2021 = $109,500

Currently, the dividend-payout ratio (DIE) for the aggregate market is 60 percent, the required return (k) is 11 percent, and the expected growth rate for dividends (g) is 5 percent.
a. Compute the current earnings multiplier.
b. You expect the DIE payout ratio to decline to 50 percent, but you assume there will be no other changes. What will be the P/E? c. Starting with the initial conditions, you expect the dividend-payout ratio to be constant, the rate of inflation to increase by 3 percent, and the growth rate to increase by 2 percent. Compute the expected P/E.
d. Starting with the initial conditions, you expect the dividend-payout ratio to be constant, the rate of inflation to decline by 3 percent, and the growth rate to decline by 1 percent. Compute the expected PIE.

Answer:

A. 10x

B.8.33x

C.8.57x

D.15x

Explanation:

a. Computation of current earnings multiplier

Using this formula

Current earnings multiplier=Dividend-payout ratio/(Required return-Expected growth rate for dividends)

Where,

Dividend-payout ratio(D/E)= 0.60

Required return (k) = 0.11

Expected growth rate for dividend (g)= 0.05

Let plug in the formula

Current Earning multiplier =0.60/(0.11−0.05)

Current Earning multiplier=0.60/0.06

Current Earning multiplier=10x

Therefore the Current Earning multiplier will be 10x

b. Calculation for the what will be the P/E

Using this formula

P/E=Expected decline D/E payout ratio /(Required return-Expected growth rate for dividends)

Where,

Expected decline D/E payout ratio=0.50

Required return (k) = 0.11

Expected growth rate for dividend (g)= 0.05

Let plug in the formula

P/E=0.50/(0.11-0.05)

P/E=0.50/0.60

P/E=8.33x

Therefore the P/E will be 8.33x

c. Computation for increase in expected P/E

Using this formula

Increase in Expected P/E=Dividend-payout ratio(D/E)/(Increase in rate of inflation - Increase in growth rate )

Let plug in the formula

Where,

Dividend-payout ratio(D/E)=0.60

Increase in rate of inflation =(0.11+0.03=0.14)

Increase in growth rate=(0.05+0.02=0.07)

Let plug in the formula

Increase in Expected P/E=0.60/[(0.11+0.03)-(0.05+0.02)]

Increase in Expected P/E=0.60/(0.14-0.07)

Increase in Expected P/E=0.60/0.07

Increase in Expected P/E=8.57x

Therefore the increase in expected P/E will be 8.57x

d .Computation for decline in the expected P/E

Using this formula

Decline in the expected P/E=Dividend-payout ratio(D/E)/(Decline in rate of inflation - Decline in growth rate )

Let plug in the formula

Where,

Dividend-payout ratio(D/E)=0.60

Decline in rate of inflation =(0.11-0.03=0.08)

Decline in growth rate=(0.05-0.01=0.04)

Let plug in the formula

Decline in the expected P/E=0.60/[(0.11-0.03) -(0.05-0.01)

Decline in the expected P/E=0.60/(0.08-0.04)

Decline in the expected P/E=0.60/0.04

Decline in the expected P/E=15x

Therefore the Decline in the expected P/E will be 15x.
