It is important that marketers be able to identify which strategy a competitor is using so that they better understand how to position their own products and services. You will see a list of recent or potential strategic decisions made by large firms, and your job is to identify which type of strategy was used in each example.
While there are a variety of strategies across industries, most fall under four basic categories.
1. Market penetration strategies emphasize selling more existing products and services to existing customers.
2. Product development strategies involve creating new goods or services for existing markets.
3. Market development strategies focus on selling existing products or services to new customers. The targeted new customers could be a different gender, age group, or international market.
4. Finally, diversification strategies involve offering new products that are unrelated to the existing products produced by the organization.

Last month Dexter Company had a $11,780 loss on sales of $164,000. Fixed costs are $62,620 a month. By how much do sales have to increase for Dexter to break even
Answer:
$38,000
Explanation:
Calculation for how much do sales have to increase for Dexter to break even
First step is to find the contribution margin ratio
Contribution margin ratio = ($62,620 - $11,780)/$164,000 = 30%
Contribution margin ratio =$50,840/$164,000
Contribution margin ratio=31%
Second step is to find the Break even sales Break even sales=$62,620/0.31
Break even sales=$202,000
Last step is to find the increase in sales
Sales must increase =$202,000 - $164,000
Sales must increase = $38,000
Therefore the amount that sales have to increase for Dexter to break even will be $38,000
Your classmates from the University of Chicago are planning to go to Miami for spring break, and you are undecided about whether you should go with them. The round-trip airfare is $600, but you have a frequent-flyer coupon worth $500 that you could use to pay part of the airfare. All other costs for the vacation are exactly $900. The most you would be willing to pay for the trip is $1,400. Your only alternative use for your frequent-flyer coupon is for your trip to Atlanta two weeks after the break to attend your sister's graduation, which your parents are forcing you to attend. The Chicago-Atlanta round-trip airfare is $450. If the Chicago-Atlanta round-trip air fare were $350, should you use the coupon to go to Miami?
Answer:
You should use the discount coupon to pay for the Chicago-Miami trip. Not considering the personal motivations for the trip, the coupon is worth $500. The cost of flying is $600, so you will only pay $100 yourself. You will be spending $900 + $1000 = $1,000 in total.
The opportunity cost of using the coupon is $350 (the cost of the round trip to Atlanta). Even if you add the $350 to the $1,000 expense, the total is $1,350, less than your $1,400 maximum budget.

If bad debt expense for the year was $40,000, what was the amount of bad debts written off during the year?
Answer:
$32,000
Explanation:
The computation of the bad debt written off during the year is shown below:
= Opening balance of the allowance account + bad debt expense - required allowance
= $30,000 + $40,000 - $38,000
= $32,000
hence, the amount of bad debts written off during the year is $32,000
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct answer could come

Sheridan Company pays all salaried employees on a biweekly basis. Overtime pay, however, is paid in the next biweekly period. Sheridan accrues salaries expense only at its December 31 year end. Data relating to salaries earned in December 2020 are as follows: Last payroll was paid on 12/26/20, for the 2-week period ended 12/26/20. Overtime pay earned in the 2-week period ended 12/26/20 was $24000. Remaining work days in 2020 were December 29, 30, 31, on which days there was no overtime. The recurring biweekly salaries total $444000.
Assuming a five-day workweek, Sheridan should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries of:_________.
a. $266400
b. $290400
c. $133200
d. $157200
Answer:
d. $157,200
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Sheridan should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries
Liability for accrued salary=$24,000 + ($444,000 ÷ 10 days × 3)
Liability for accrued salary=$24,000+$133,200
Liability for accrued salary= $157,200
Therefore the amount that Sheridan should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries will be $157,200
Camille Sikorski was divorced last year. She currently provides a home for her 15-year-old daughter, Kaly, and 18-year-old son, Parker. Both children lived in Camille’s home, which she owns, for the entire year, and Camille paid for all the costs of maintaining the home. She received a salary of $55,000 and contributed $4,200 of it to a qualified retirement account (a for AGI deduction). She also received $6,000 of alimony from her former husband. Finally, Camille paid $2,700 of expenditures that qualified as itemized deductions.

The following expenditures were incurred by Tamarisk, Inc. in purchasing land: cash price $74,000, accrued taxes $4,400, attorneys’ fees $4,300, real estate broker’s commission $1,500, and clearing and grading $3,600. What is the cost of the land?
Answer:
$87,800
Explanation:
The following expenditures were incurred by Tamerisk incorporation when purchasing a land
Cash price = $74,000
Accured taxes = $4,400
Attorneys fee= $4,300
Real estate brokers commission = $1,500
Clearing and grading = $3,600
Therefore the cost of the land can be calculated as follows
= $74,000 + $4,400 + $4,300 + $1,500 + $3,600
= $87,800
Hence the cost of the land is $87,800
A small country is collecting more money than it spends. What is MOST likely the fiscal policy stance that this government takes?
expansionary stance
contractionary stance
economic stance
neutral stance
Answer:
Contractionary stance
Explanation:
When the government collects more extra money than it is spending, it signals a robust and fast-growing economy. Contractionary fiscal policy measures are applied to slow down growth and reduce inflationary pressure.
The contractionary fiscal policy is the government's mechanism of reducing the money supply in the economy. The government may reduce its spending in the economy, increase business taxes, or both. These actions decrease the money supply in the economy, which reduces the amount that businesses can borrow to expand. The objective is to lower the aggregate demand, thereby slowing the country's rate of producing new goods and services.

Answer:
a. Current Ratio = current assets / current liabilities = 190,000 / 153,000 = 1.24
b. Acid-test ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities = (190,000 - 50,000) / 153,000 = 0.92
c. Times interest earned = EBIT / interest expense = 65,000 / 8,000 = 8.13
d. Inventory turnover = COGS / inventory = 90,000 / 50,000 = 1.8
e. Total asset turnover = net sales / total assets = 210,000 / 525,000 = 0.4
f. Operating profit margin = operating income / total sales = 65,000 / 210,000 = 0.31
g. Days in receivables = (accounts receivables / total sales) x 365 = (30,000 / 210,000) x 365 = 52.14 days
h. Operating return on assets = operating income / total assets = 65,000 / 525,000 = 0.12

k. Return on equity = net income / total equity = 45,030 / 252,000 = 0.18
During November, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 26,000 units that were in process at the beginning of November and 120,000 units that were started and completed in November. November's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 45% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of November, 33,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 65% complete with respect to conversion.
Required:
Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to materials for November using the weighted-average method.
Answer:
Equivalent Units = 179,000
Explanation:
Number of units completed and transferred out = Units in beginning + Units started and completed during the month
= 26,000 + 120,000
= 146,000 units
Equivalent Units = Number of units completed and transferred out + (Additional units in process *Percentage completed)
= 146,000 + 33,000*100%
= 146,000 + 33,000
= 179,000
Therefore, the number of equivalent units using the weighted-average method is 179,000

Consider the experiments. Experiment 1: A study is done to determine which of two fuel mixtures allows a rocket to travel farther over a period of time. Rocket A, which requires additional equipment to keep it stable, is used to test one fuel mixture, and rocket B is used to test the other. Both rockets are identical aside from their mass. The results indicate that rocket B traveled farther than rocket A over the same period of time. Experiment 2: A double-blind experiment is performed to test whether a new drug is effective in lowering blood pressure. A random sample of subjects with high blood pressure is assigned to two groups. One group receives the new drug and the other group does not. Neither group is permitted to take any other medications during the experiment or to change their lifestyles in any way. The results of the experiment show that the drug is effective in lowering blood pressure.
Identify the experiment in which confounding occurs and the reason for its occurrence.
a. Neither experiment has a confounding variable.
b. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the fuel mixtures. Varying the fuel mixture could skew the results of the study and should be kept constant.
c. Experiment 2 has a confounding variable related to the type of experiment. A double-blind experiment may increase the risk of the placebo effect and possibly skew the results.
d. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.
e. Experiment 2 has a confounding variable related to the subjects used. Choosing a sample of subjects with high blood pressure instead of individuals with different blood pressure levels may confuse the results.
Answer:
d. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.
Explanation:
Both experiments have confounding variables. But the reasons given for the occurrence of the confounder in experiment 2 do not justify (c) and (e) as correct answers. By definition, confounders are factors other than the independent variable that cause differences in outcome. For experiment 1, the different masses of the two rockets affect the independent variable (fuel mixture) being studied, and actually cause the discrepancy in the distance traveled as indicated in answer (d). Other examples of confounders are placebo, weather, age, and experimenter bias which a double-blind can eliminate.
If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of $250 a month, the on-campus housing market is
Answer: B. inefficient; the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented
Explanation:
If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of $250 a month, the on-campus housing market is inefficient because the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented.
An efficient market will see equilibrium supply meting equilibrium demand and this is not the case in this market because the supply seems to stay the same regardless of the demand.
This market is inefficient because supply does not react to the rent paid and is always the same. This is why a rent ceiling of $250 had no effect on the market in terms of supply. Efficient markets should see both supply and demand reacting to price so that a mutually beneficial equilibrium can be reached.

Explanation:
Gayne Corporation's contribution margin ratio is 18% and its fixed monthly expenses are $53,500. If the company's sales for a month are $318,000, what is the best estimate of the company's net operating income? Assume that the fixed monthly expenses do not change.
Answer:
$3,740
Explanation:
The computation of net operating income is shown below:-
Contribution margin = Sales × CM ratio
= $318,000 × 18%
= $57,240
Net operating income = Contribution margin - fixed assets
= $57,240 - $53,300
= $3,740
So, we have applied the above formula.
Hence, the net operating income is $3,740 and the same is to be considered

d. Which company will report the highest book value on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet?
e. Calculate the retained earnings on the December 31, 2021, balance sheet?
f. Which company will report the highest amount of retained earnings on the December 31, 2021, balance sheet?
Answer:
a) 2021: Company A Company B Company C
Sales Revenue $65,000 $65,000 $65,000
Depreciation 17,500 3,500 19,880
Net Income $47,500 61,500 $45,120
b) Company C.
c) Book Value on December 31, 2020 Balance Sheet:
Company A Company B Company C
Truck $76,000 $76,000 $76,000
Accumulated Depreciation $52,500 $66,500 $50,960
Book value $23,500 $9,500 $25,040
d) Company reporting the highest book value on December 31, 2020:
Company C.
e) Retained Earnings:
Company A Company B Company C
2018:
Net Income $47,500 27,000 $42,320
2019:
Net Income $47,500 46,000 $49,600
2020:
Net Income $47,500 55,500 $52,120
2021:
Net Income $47,500 61,500 $45,120
Retained earnings $190,000 $190,000 $189,160
f) Companies A and B will report the highest amount of retained earnings because C's units of production did not tally to 250,000.
Explanation:
Cost of Truck = $76,000
Lifespan = 4 years or 250,000 miles
Salvage value = $6,000
Depreciable amount = $70,000 ($76,000 - $6,000)
Straight-line rate = $17,500 ($70,000/4) or 25% (100/4) per year
Double-declining balance rate = 50% (100/4 * 2) on the book balance
Units of production rate = $0.28 ($70,000/250,000) per unit

You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: splishy splashies, frizzles, and cannies. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods.
Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of splishy splashies decreases by 5%, the quantity of frizzles sold increases by 4% and the quantity of cannies sold decreases by 5%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together.
Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and flopsicles, and then between splishy splashies and kipples. In the second column, determine if splishy splashies are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating which good you should recommend marketing with splishy splashies.
Relative to Splishy Splashies
Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand Complement or Substitute Recommend Marketing with Splishy Splashies
Flopsicles
Kipples
Answer:
cross-price elasticity formula = % change in quantity demanded of good X / % change in price of good Y
cross-price elasticity of demand between splishy splashies and frizzles (or is it flopsicles?) = 4% / -5% = -0.8, complement goods. When the cross price elasticity is negative, then the goods complement each other.
cross-price elasticity of demand between splishy splashies and cannies (or is it kippies?) = -5% / -5% = 1, substitute goods. When the cross price elasticity is positive, then the goods substitute each other.
If you are about to launch a marketing campaign for splishy splashies, then you should include frizzles in it.
If the amount of credit is 300,000 how much is the discount if the debtor is given a credit term of 2/10 N/30?show your
Answer:
6,000
Explanation:
In credit sales, 2/10 Net 30 means that the seller has offered the customer a trade discount. 2/10 net 30 is a conditional discount available if payment is made in 10 days. It's a 2% discount should the customer pay in 10 days, if not so, the full amount is due within 30 days.
The discount amount for 300,000 is 2 percent of 300,000.
=2/100 x 300,000
=0.02 x 300,000
=6,000
For a program to be successful, readiness for training should be assessed on two dimensions: employee characteristics and work environment. The employee characteristics that are relevant to training are the ability to learn the subject matter, attitudes toward training, and motivation to learn. Even if these are present, however, training will not be effective unless there is a positive work environment—an environment that encourages learning and eliminates obstacles for trainee success.
An important characteristic of employee readiness is having basic learning skills, especially cognitive ability that includes using written and spoken language, solving math problems, and using logic to solve problems. If employees lack certain basic skills, they may have to attend some remedial classes before participating in job-related training. Seeing potential benefits from training programs may increase employee motivation to participate. Readiness for training also depends on work environment characteristics called situational constraints and social support. Constraints can include the limits of training's effectiveness from within the organization, such as lack of money or lack of time for training and practicing. Social support refers to the ways that the organization encourages training by expressing positive attitudes toward its training programs. The goal of this activity is to evaluate employee readiness for training.
Read each statement, then select the appropriate category
1. When new employees arrive on the sales floor after training at Hamilton Department Store, experienced employees have a tendency. Forget what you learned. This is how we really do it.
2. Time and again, Brooke's employees complained that the statistical quality control training was too difficult to be useful.
3. As much as she would like to. Elizabeth really doesn't think top management is going to allocate enough money to train everyone on the new software this year.
4. Although Jane really wanted to participate in the diversity training program, she knew it was impossible to get away from the office for three days in order to participate.
5. Ed was excited to hear about the new technical training program, but disappointed when he heard his boss say that he really didn't think the training was the time and effort
a. Social Support
b. Situational Constraints
c. Employee Readiness
Answer:
1.
by asking new employees to unlearn the theories they have so that they can learn on the job, these experienced employees are getting the new ones ready to start applying concepts. this shows social support from the old employees to the new ones
2.
these complaints by Brooke's employees shows employee readiness because the complaints are basically about not being able to find their way around around the training since they say it is too difficult.
3.
this is situational constraints as the question implies a constraint in funds available to train all employees on the new software. and it is causing an issue In getting all employees trained.
4.
this is situational constraint and time is the constraint. elizabeth though ready does not have the time for the training.
5. this is social support. ed's manager has caused him to reevaluate on this training because in his opinion it would be like a waste of time and effort.

20. The consumer price index was 120 in 2013 and 126 in 2014. The nominal interest rate during this period was 8 percent. What was the real interest rate during this period? A) 3 percent B) 2 percent C) 3.3 percent D) 5.2 percent E) 12.8 percent
Answer: 3%
Explanation:
To calculate the real interest rate, it should be noted that the inflation rate is needed and this can be calculated using the consumer price index as:
= [(126-120)/120] × 100
= 6/120 × 100
= 5%
Real interest rate will now be:
= Nominal Rate - Inflation Rate
= 8% - 5%
= 3%

Explanation:
a) 111 millions shares x $0.50 = $55.5 millions
c)
111 millions x $18 per share x 6% = 119.88 millions
660,000 x $18 = 11.88 millions
net: 119.88 - 11.88 = 108 millons on shares
$108 millons / $18 per share = 6,000,000 shares
d)
111 + 6 new shares = 117 shares
$117 x $0.50 = $58.5 millons
f) 3-2 split gives 3 shares for every 2 shares
117 x 3/2 = 175.5 millons
175.5 millions x 0.35 per share = 61.425 million cash dividends
Your boss would like your help on a marketing research project he is conducting on the relationship between the price of soup and the quantity of soup supplied. He hands you the following document:
Price of Soup Quantity of Soup Supplied
0.50 750
0.75 1,000
1.00 1,500
1.25 2,000
Your task is to take this blank and construct a graphical representation of the data. In doing so, you determine that as the price of soup rises, the quantity of soup supplied increases. This confirms the blank.
For both blanks, the choices are supply curve, quantity of soup supplied, supply schedule, and law of supply. I got law of supply for the first blank, and supply curve for the second blank and I wanted to make sure if I was correct.
Answer:
Your task is to take this supply schedule and construct a graphical representation of the data. In doing so, you determine that as the price of soup rises, the quantity of soup supplied increases. This confirms the law of supply.
Explanation:
We draw the supply curve being X-axis the quantity and Y-axis the Price.
The date to construct this representation is in the supply schedule.
This confirms the "law of supply" which states that as the price of a good icnrases the willingess to produce more units of that good increases as there is higher revenue.
Mattola Company is giving each of its employees a holiday bonus of $200 on December 13, 20-- (a nonpayday). The company wants each employee's check to be $200. The supplemental tax percent is used.
Nobody has capped for OASDI prior to the bonus check.
a. What will be the gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% (besides the other payroll taxes)? You may need to add one penny to the gross so that net bonus exactly equals $200. Round your calculations and final answers to the nearest cent.
b. What would the net amount of each bonus check be if the company did not gross-up the bonus? Round your intermediary calculations to the nearest cent.
Answer:
a. Gross amount of each bonus = $309.84
b. Net amount of each bonus = $129.10
Explanation:
Since the supplemental tax percent is used, the following are the relevant tax rates to be applied in the calculations:
STP = Supplemental tax percent = 25%
FICASO = Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) social security tax = 6.2%
FICAM = Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) Medicare tax = 1.45%.
SIT = State income tax = 2.8%
We therefore proceed as follows:
a. What will be the gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% (besides the other payroll taxes)? You may need to add one penny to the gross so that net bonus exactly equals $200. Round your calculations and final answers to the nearest cent.
Given the tax rates above, the following formula is used to calculate the gross amount of each bonus:
Gross amount of each bonus = Holiday bonus amount / (100% - STP - FICASO - FICAM - SIT) …… (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
Gross amount of each bonus = $200/ (100% - 25% - 6.20% - 1.45% - 2.8%)
Gross amount of each bonus = $200 / 64.55%
Gross amount of each bonus = $309.837335398916
To the nearest cent which implies to two decimal places, we have:
Gross amount of each bonus = $309.84
b. What would the net amount of each bonus check be if the company did not gross-up the bonus? Round your intermediary calculations to the nearest cent.
The net amount of each bonus can be calculated using the following formula:
Net amount of each bonus = Holiday bonus amount * (100% - STP - FICASO - FICAM - SIT) …… (2)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (2), we have:
Net amount of each bonus = $200 * (100% - 25% - 6.20% - 1.45% - 2.8%)
Net amount of each bonus = $200 * 64.55%
Net amount of each bonus = $129.10
O’Hara Associates sells golf clubs, and with each sale of a full set of clubs provides complementary club-fitting services. A full set of clubs with the fitting services sells for $1,400. O’Hara estimates that it incurs $50 of staff compensation and other costs to provide the fitting services, and normally earns 20% over cost on similar services. Assuming that the golf clubs and the club-fitting services are separate performance obligations, estimate the stand-alone selling price of the club-fitting services using the expected cost plus margin approach.
Answer:
$60.00
Explanation:
Calculation to estimate the stand-alone selling price
Hara Amount $ Note
Staff compensation $50.00
Mark up % 20%
Mark up amount $10.00
(20%*$50)
Standalone selling price of club fitting services $60.00
($50.00+$10.00)
Therefore the estimated stand-alone selling price will be $60.00
On January 20, 2017, Tamira Nelson, the accountant for Picton Enterprises, is feeling pressure to complete the annual financial statements. The company president has said he needs up-to-date financial statements to share with the bank on January 21 at a dinner meeting that has been called to discuss Picton's obtaining loan financing for a special building project. Tamira knows that she will not be able to gather all the needed information in the next 24 hours to prepare the entire set of adjusting entries. Those entries must be posted before the financial statements accurately portray the company's performance and financial position for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2016. Tamira ultimately decides to estimate several expense accruals at the last minute. When deciding on estimates for the expenses, she uses low estimates because she does not want to make the financial statements look worse than they are. Tamira finishes the financial statements before the deadline and gives them to the president without mentioning that several account balances are estimates that she provided.
Required:
1. Identify several courses of action that Tamira could have taken instead of the one she took.
2. If you were in Tamira's situation, what would you have done?
Answer:
the question says she used low estimates to make the statement look good.
Explanation:
here are the answers:
1. Identify several courses of action that Tamira could have taken instead of the one she took
Tamira was wrong for providing low estimates. She should have been truthful in her estimation. If some items were not estimated she should have made it known that those items were still under review. Using low estimates on purpose is not ethical and unacceptable by GAAP standards.
She would have been straight with the president and let him know the time frame was not enough for the finalization of the statements. She would have instead given a time frame when the internal draft would be ready.
2. If you were in Tamira's situation, what would you have done?
If I were tamira, I will not raise or reduce figures on purpose just to make the statements look presentable. I will be truthful on figures and estimates I used and why I did. If the president would pressurize me to do the wrong thing, I will have no option than to leave the organization to avoid going against ethical standards since such actions have legal implications.
