Answer:
A. Laggards
Explanation:
Adopters Categories is the division of product consumers into various segments based on readiness or inclination to use a new product or innovation.
Laggards: This category of adopters are the slowest to try or use new products or innovations in the entire group. They are only forced to adopt when it seems like there are no other alternatives or every other person has adopted already.
Laggards who represent about 16% of consumers, only adopt new technologies when there are no traditional alternatives left. They are also very keen on ensuring reliability of product, practicality and low cost.
Laggards are conservative just like Malik in the question, while the industry is growing with laptops and tablets, he just got a desktop as his first personal computer, making him ways behind the trend in the society.
Other categories of Adopters:
Innovators: a group of consumers who are adventurous and are attracted to using new technologies because they are new.
Early adopters: this group of consumers are in charge of setting trends around a new product or innovation as they tend to create opinions about these products which others can now leverage on to adopt them.
Early majority: this group of consumers are attracted to products because of their benefits and how useful they are to their daily lives.
Late majority: Although they are like early majority, they are more skeptical to make purhcase, they prefer to test or a while before adoption

A recession tends to cause the federal budget deficit to ________ because tax revenues ________ and government spending on transfer payments ________. increase; rise; falls decrease; fall; rises increase; fall; rises decrease; rise; falls'
Answer:
increase; fall; rises
Explanation:
A recession is when there's a contraction in economic activities. It is when the GDP of a country is negative for two consecutive quarters.
When there's a recession, the government undertakes expansionary fiscal policy to stimulate the economy. Therefore, the government would increase its spending or reduce amount of tax paid. Therefore , government spending rises.
Also, during a recession, tax revenues falls because income of individuals, firms fall and therefore revenue from tax would fall.

By diversifying, the risk of holding stock
a. can be reduced but not eliminated. On average over the past two centuries stocks paid a lower average real return than bonds.
b. can be eliminated. On average over the past two centuries stocks paid a higher average real return than bonds.
c. can be reduced but not eliminated. On average over the past two centuries stocks paid a higher average real return than bond econ
Answer: Option C
Explanation: In simple words, diversification refers to the process in which the holder of a portfolio purchases and includes different types of securities with no or negative correlation between them. By doing so, the risk of the portfolio can be reduced but cannot be eliminated as the systematic risk due to the market inefficiencies cannot be eliminated.
It is evident that over the past two years stocks paid higher returns than bond due to the fact that globalization has increased the market for the companies leading to hoover share which further results in higher return for stock holders in comparison to bond holders who have a fixed return.
Ace company's inventory was destroyed by fire. Their records show net sales of $90,000, beginning inventory of $20,000, net purchases of $75,000 and a gross profit rate of 30%. What is the estimated value of the ending inventory?
Answer:
$32,000
Explanation:
Gross profit = (sales - cost of sales)/sales
30% = ($90000-Cost of sale)/$90000
cost of sale = $63000
Closing inventory = (opening inventory + purchases) - cost of sale
closing inventory = (20000 + 75000) - 63000
The Hackman's home is valued at $650,000. Properties in their area are assessed at 60% of the value, and the local tax rate is $2.85 per one hundred dollars of assessed value. How much are the Hackman's MONTHLY taxes?
Answer:
$926.25
Explanation:
First, we obtain the assessed value:
$650,000 * 60% = $390,000
Now, we obtain the benchmark for determining the yearly tax. We divide the assessed value by one hundred because the local tax rate is $2.85 per one hundred dollars of assessed value. In other words, one hundred dollars is the benchmark:
$390,000 / 100 = $3,900
Now, to find the total tax paid in a year we simply multiply the local tax rate by the benchmark:
$2.85 x 3,900 = $11,115
Finally, we divided the yearly value by twelve to obtain the monthly value:
$11,115 / 12 = $926.25
Final answer:
The Hackman's' monthly property taxes are $926.25.
Explanation:
To calculate the Hackman's' monthly property taxes, first determine the assessed value of the home by multiplying the home's value by the assessment rate. Then, calculate the annual taxes by applying the local tax rate to the assessed value. Finally, divide the annual taxes by 12 to find the monthly taxes.
The assessed value is 60% of the home's value:
$650,000 x 0.60 = $390,000.
The annual tax is then calculated by the tax rate per hundred dollars of assessed value:
$390,000 / 100 = 3,900 (hundreds of dollars);
3,900 x $2.85 = $11,115 (annual taxes).
To find the monthly taxes, divide by 12:
$11,115 / 12 = $926.25.
Therefore, the Hackman's' monthly property taxes are $926.25.
In July 2007 The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that a growing shortage of skilled labor in Eastern European countries such as Slovakia was driving up wages in key industries and reducing business income. The reason for the shortages was a large migration of skilled Eastern European workers to Western European countries. According to the simple immigration model, the supply of workers will a. rise in both Western European and Eastern European countries until the wage rates fall in both countries.
b. fall in both Western European and Eastern European countries until the wage rates rise in both countries.
c. fall in Western European countries and rise in Eastern European countries until the wage rates become more equal.
d. rise in Western European countries and fall in Eastern European countries until the wage rates become more equal.
Answer:
D) rise in Western European countries and fall in Eastern European countries until the wage rates become more equal.
Explanation:
Two important factors must be considered:
wages in western European nations are still much higher than those in eastern European nationsworkers that come from member countries of the European Union may travel freely and work in any country that they can and that belongs to the European Union.As long as the wages in western European countries continue to be higher and European workers can establish themselves in those counties, the supply of workers will continue to flow from poorer eastern European countries to richer western European countries.
rise in Western European countries and fall in Eastern European countries until the wage rates become more equal.
Bulldog, Inc. has budgeted sales for the first quarter of the next year to be 35,000 units. The inventory on hand at the beginning of quarter is 5,000 units. The desired ending inventory is 3,000 units. Calculate the budgeted production for the first quarter.
A. 2,000 units
B. 42,000 units
C. 32,000 units
D. 30,000 units .
The budgeted production for the first quarter is 32,000 units. This is calculated by adding the budgeted sales (35,000 units) to the desired ending inventory (3,000 units) and subtracting the beginning inventory (5,000 units). Option C is correct.
To calculate the budgeted production for the first quarter, we need to consider the desired ending inventory.
[tex]\[ \text{Budgeted Production} = \text{Budgeted Sales} + \text{Desired Ending Inventory} - \text{Beginning Inventory} \][/tex]
- Budgeted Sales = 35,000 units
- Beginning Inventory = 5,000 units
- Desired Ending Inventory = 3,000 units
Substitute these values into the formula:
Budgeted Production = 35,000 + 3,000 - 5,000
Budgeted Production = 33,000
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. 32,000 units
Among the many factors that influence purchasing decisions are _____, who control the flow of information within an organization.
a. influencers
b. users
c. deciders
d. buyers
e. gatekeepers
Answer: gatekeepers
Explanation: Gatekeeper refers to a member of a judgment-making system or social circle acting to suppress or deter purchasing by restricting the flow of details and information exposure to the purchasing center's members.
A parent who does not permit her children in the store to choose from a sweetened cereal serves as just a gatekeeper. In a company, the gatekeeper is almost the same as the picture that the term brought to mind — anyone sitting right at an access point to avoid undesired traffic.
This is the individual tasked with keeping a judgment-maker from being distracted by what they or he find insignificant and distracting guests and interviewees to be.
The impact of inflation places ______________ and risk in the savings and borrowing relationships.
a) guacamole (the possibility that you may end up with green spots on your shirt)
b) mayonnaise (the possibility that you may end up with white spots on your chin)
c) uncertainty (the possibility that benefits may be less than expected)
d) none of the above
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: uncertainty (the possibility that benefits may be less than expected).
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of inflation refers to the sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services produced inside an economy and therefore consequently a reduction in the purchasing power per unit of money.
Secondly, it is understandable that the inflation causes that the uncertainess and riskness both take places in the saving and borrowing relationships due to the fact that the price that products and services will have in the future are not determinated and will probably increase in an unexpected way and therefore causing that benefits may be less than expected as well too.

The Virginia House of Burgesses:____________
A) Was dissolved by King James because he objected to all representative government.
B) Was created as part of the Virginia Company’s effort to encourage the colony’s survival.
C) Banned the importation of servants.
D) Had more power than the governor.
E) Was included in the original charter for the Jamestown Colony.
Answer:
B)
Explanation:
The Virginia House of Burgesses was created as part of the Virginia Company’s effort to encourage the colony’s survival. This house was created in 1642 as the elected representative element of the Virginia General Assembly which had been established in the year 1619. Which is known today only as the General Assembly.
Final answer:
The Virginia House of Burgesses was established by the Virginia Company in 1619 to provide a form of representative government in the American colonies, evolving into the lower house of the Virginia General Assembly.
Explanation:
The Virginia House of Burgesses is significant for being the first legislative assembly in the American colonies, established by the Virginia Company in 1619. Initially meeting in Jamestown's church, it included property-owning white men as members who were selected to vote on matters such as taxation and local laws, reflecting the influence of the British Parliament. Over time, the House of Burgesses expanded and evolved, becoming the lower house of the Virginia General Assembly, with the Governor's Council acting as the upper house. The council members were appointed by the Crown and served for life, indicating a level of governance separate from the governor's immediate control.
Regarding the options provided in the student's question, Option B is the most accurate: The Virginia House of Burgesses was created as part of the Virginia Company’s effort to encourage the colony’s survival. It was not included in the original charter for Jamestown Colony, it did not ban the importation of servants, and it did not have more power than the governor. King James did not dissolve it specifically because he objected to all representative government, rather it was part of the company's efforts to ensure the colony thrived economically and politically.

Veterinarians generally derive some of their income from selling several manufacturers' lines of pet-care products. Knowing that pet owners rarely throw away mail from their pet's veterinarian unread, one manufacturer of pet-care products offered free promotional materials on its products to veterinarians for mailing to their clients. Very few veterinarians accepted the offer, however, even though the manufacturer's products are of high quality.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the veterinarian's reaction to the manufacturer's promotional scheme?
(A) Most of the veterinarians to whom the free promotional materials were offered were already selling the manufacturer's pet-care products to their clients.
(B) The special promotional materials were intended as a supplement to the manufacturer's usual promotional activities rather than as a replacement for them.
(C) The manufacturer's products, unlike most equally good competing products sold by veterinarians, are also available in pet stores and in supermarkets.
(D) Many pet owners have begun demanding quality in products they buy for their pets that is as high as that in products they buy for themselves.
(E) Veterinarians sometimes recommend that pet owners use products formulated for people when no suitable product specially formulated for animals is available.
Answer:
(C) The manufacturer's products, unlike most equally good competing products sold by veterinarians, are also available in pet stores and in supermarkets.
Explanation:
Only option (C) explains why very few veterinarians accepted the offer. If the manufacturer offers free promotional materials to all veterinarians clients and all this material is available at other supermarkets and malls their will be good probability that clients will go directly to supermarkets and malls reducing income of veterinarians.
Ceteris paribus, if the price of Pepsi increases, the equilibrium price of Coca-Cola will ________ and the equilibrium quantity of Coca-Cola will ________.
Answer:
Rise
Rise
Explanation:
Pepsi and Coca cola are considered substitutes. If the price of Pepsi increases, consumers would begin to consume more coca cola and the demand for coca cola would increase. This would lead to an excess of demand for coca cola over supply and prices would rise.
I hope my answer helps you
Final answer:
Ceteris paribus, if the price of Pepsi increases the equilibrium price of Coca-Cola will increase, and the equilibrium quantity of Coca-Cola will increase as well.
Explanation:
Ceteris paribus, if the price of Pepsi increases, we can expect a substitution effect where consumers switch their preference to a similar but cheaper alternative like Coca-Cola. Assuming Pepsi and Coca-Cola are close substitutes, the equilibrium price of Coca-Cola will increase, and the equilibrium quantity of Coca-Cola will increase as well.
This is because the demand for Coca-Cola will rise as consumers look for a substitute for the more expensive Pepsi. The market for Coca-Cola adjusts to this higher demand by increasing the price and the quantity supplied to reach a new equilibrium.
Assume the current equilibrium level of income is $200 billion as compared to the full-employment income level of $240 billion. If the MPC is 0.625, what change in aggregate expenditures is needed to achieve full employment?
Answer:
increase the aggregate expenditure to $15 billion ($40-$25)
to achieve full employment.
Explanation:
Note:
If change in aggregate expenditures is equal to change in aggregate income then MPC=1.
Formula for MPC:
MPC=Change in Consumption or expenditure/ Change in Income
Given MPC=0.62
0.625=Change in Consumption or expenditure/ (240-200)
Change in Consumption or expenditure=[tex]0.625 * 40\\[/tex]
Change in Consumption or expenditure=$ 25 billion
Since the change in income is $40 billion($240-$200) and Change in aggregate expenditure we calculated above is $25 billion so we need to increase the aggregate expenditure to $15 billion ($40-$25)
to achieve full employment i.e to make MPC to 1.
Lifeworks is a nongovernment not-for-profit organization that recently received a large gift from a donor in the amount of $3,000,000 in cash. The donor wishes to leave a legacy and therefore specified that Lifeworks cannot spend the $3,000,000 but can invest the $3,000,000 and use any earnings from the investments to support the organization. In the first year, $100,000 was earned but has not yet been spent. How would the $3,000,000 gift and the $100,000 in earnings impact the net assets of Lifeworks?
Answer:
Explanation:
The net assets would increase. This is because the $100,000 earnings from investments are additional cash inflows hence an increase in current assets. For the $3,000,000 if invested, it will be considered an asset. It is a cash donation invested to generate earnings for the non-profit organization. Thus, these two instances add onto the net asset value of Lifeworks.
suppose american winemakers convince the federal government to issue a directive to serve only domestically produced wine at governement functions. This would be an example of.
a) principle agent problem
b) rent seeking behavior
c) moral hazard
d) logrolling
Answer:
B) rent seeking behavior
Explanation:
Rent seeking behavior refers to actions carried out by businesses that try to seek benefits through government policies. In other words, the businesses will try to make the government give them some type of special treatment or special benefit at the expense of the general population.
In this case, the American winemakers were able to convince government officials to only serve domestic wine at government events. The problem is that the general population (taxpayers) are the ones that pay for that wine. American winemakers will benefit at the expense of the taxpayers.
Which of the following is a way to recognize potentially disruptive innovations?
A. Pay attention to slow-expensive advancements in technology.
B. Seeking the opinions of venture capitalists, research academics, and passionate internal engineering staff.
C. Become more consumer-focused. Indulge in bottom-line obsession.
D. Increase conversation within same product groups.
Answer:
B. Seeking the opinions of venture capitalists, research academics, and passionate internal engineering staff.
Explanation:
Seeking the opinions of venture capitalists, research academics, and passionate internal engineering staff is a way to recognize potentially disruptive innovations.
B. Seeking the opinions of venture capitalists, research academics, and passionate internal engineering staff.
Recognizing potentially disruptive innovations involves identifying unique, transformative ideas that could alter the market landscape. One effective approach is to consult with venture capitalists, who often have insights into emerging technologies and market trends.
Additionally, research academics provide valuable theoretical knowledge and empirical data on technological advancements, while passionate internal engineering staff can offer practical perspectives on the feasibility and implementation of these innovations.
By combining these diverse viewpoints, businesses can better identify innovations that might seem unimportant initially but could eventually transform industries. This collaborative evaluation process helps in spotting technologies that have the potential to disrupt existing markets effectively.
Ignoring the conventional approach of focusing solely on current consumer needs or internal product discussions enables companies to foresee future trends and invest in groundbreaking innovations earlier, ensuring competitiveness in a rapidly evolving market.
Which of the following happens when there are market failures? A) Firms compete more leading to more efficiency. B) The invisible hand automatically lowers prices and increases quality of products. C) The private sector promotes competition D) The public sector steps in to help allocate resources E) Firms temporarily seek society’s goals rather than maximize profit.
Answer:
The correct answer is option D.
Explanation:
A market failure refers to the situaion where the market forces fail to efficiently allocate resources. It happens because of a number of reasons such as externalities, monopoly, asymmetrical information, tragedy of commons etc.
In case of market failure, the government has to intervene to efficiently allocate resources. The failure of price mechanism to produce goods efficiemtly results in government to intervene.
"Securitization" is used to pool contractual debt together and resell this debt in the form of securities to investors. Which of the following debt can be "securitized"?
I. Residential Mortgages
II. Commercial Mortgages
III. Student Loans
IV. FHA Mortgages
Answer:
the correct answer is ALL OF THEM
Explanation:
Most forms of contractual debt can be securitized. This includes all of the choices listed here, as well as auto loans, personal loans, credit card debt, etc. CMOs are one of the most common "securitizations" that exist
GOOD LUCK
Securitization can apply to a range of debts, including residential and commercial mortgages, student loans, and FHA mortgages. It allows banks to sell loans as securities to investors, providing advantages like risk diversification and balance sheet improvements, although it can also lead to credit assessment issues.
Securitization is a financial technique that pools various types of contractual debts such as residential mortgages, commercial mortgages, student loans, and FHA mortgages and sells consolidated debt as securities to investors. The debt that can be securitized includes:
I. Residential Mortgages
II. Commercial Mortgages
III. Student Loans
IV. FHA Mortgages
This process has been made easier and more cost-effective due to technological improvements, especially the use of computers. These securitized loans offer diversification against default risk and are attractive to institutional investors seeking large, round sums. Through securitization, banks can specialize in originating loans and improve their balance sheets by selling off loans, which in turn enables them to fund new loans. Investors are drawn to these securities for their assumed steady stream of income. However, the reliance on credit rating agencies during the rise of mortgage-backed securities sometimes led to overly lenient credit assessments, presenting significant risk exposure.

The voting paradox suggests that the "voting market," as represented by elections,
A) Leads to a superior outcome in representing consumer preferences compared to the private market for goods and services.
B) May often lead to an inefficient outcome in representing consumer preferences compared to the private market for goods and services.
C) Is no different from the private market for goods and services in terms of representing consumer preferences.
D) May not lead to an efficient outcome but certainly leads to a more equitable outcome in terms of distributing goods and services.
Answer:
B) May often lead to an inefficient outcome in representing consumer preferences compared to the private market for goods and services.
Explanation:
By definition the "Condorcet paradox (or th voting paradox) in social is a situation noted by the Marquis de Condorcet in the late 18th century, in which collective preferences can be cyclic, even if the preferences of individual voters are not cyclic". And that can be extrapolated to Business since the people tend to change their preferences in a cyclic process.
A) Leads to a superior outcome in representing consumer preferences compared to the private market for goods and services.
False the paradox is not about the comparison between consumer and private market.
B) May often lead to an inefficient outcome in representing consumer preferences compared to the private market for goods and services.
Correct duee to the cyclic change we will have an inefficient outcome in order to describe the consumer preferences in all the markets.
C) Is no different from the private market for goods and services in terms of representing consumer preferences.
That's FALSE the private market have own characteristics and typical patterns associated to the consumer preferences.
D) May not lead to an efficient outcome but certainly leads to a more equitable outcome in terms of distributing goods and services.
We can't ensure that we will have more equitable outcome since the the paradox not ansure this, but we can say that we will have an ineffcient outcome since the preferences will change.
Each bank must report its legal reserves as well as its deposit liabilities (depositors’ funds) to the __________________ in order to show compliance with the required reserves policy ..
Answer: Federal Reserve
Explanation: The Federal Reserve is USA's central banking system. The Federal Reserve is responsible for issuing money to banks in the US, and setting the policy on monetary affairs in America. In essence every bank operates under the Federal Reserve and because of this, must report their financial status, which includes their legal reserves and deposit liabilities to the Federal Reserve. This ensures that the banks comply with the reserves policy.
Answer:
The Federal Reserve
Explanation:
Also known as the Fed represents United State's Central Bank. Like every other Central Bank around the world, it is responsible for ensuring the stability, safety and flexibility of the United State's monetary system.
Basically, there are four functions of the Federal Reserve:
1. Monitoring national monetary policies to ensure the stability of the financial system
2. Supervision of banks and protection of the right of citizens
3. Ensuring the stability of the financial market by containing any risk that may occur
4. Providing specific monetary or financial services to the government of the United States.
The need for banks to report their legal reserves and depositors' funds to the Federal Reserve is apparently a part of the supervisioning responsibility of the Federal Reserve.
Texarkana Company exchanged equipment that cost $85,000 and has accumulated depreciation of $29,800 and a fair value of $60,000. It receives in exchange an equipment with a fair value of $48,000 and received $12,000 cash. The exchange lacks commercial substance. The gain to be recognized from the exchange is __________.
Final answer:
The gain to be recognized from the exchange of equipment lacking commercial substance is $960. This is calculated by determining the book value of the old equipment, the total gain on disposal, and then recognizing the proportion of cash received as part of the gain.
Explanation:
The question relates to the accounting treatment of non-monetary exchanges, specifically when an exchange lacks commercial substance. To calculate the gain to be recognized on the exchange of equipment, we first need to determine the book value of the old equipment and then the gain on disposal.
The book value of the old equipment is the original cost minus the accumulated depreciation. In this case, the book value is $85,000 cost - $29,800 accumulated depreciation = $55,200 book value.
The next step is to calculate the total gain on disposal, which is the difference between the fair value and the book value of the old equipment. This gives us a total gain of $60,000 fair value - $55,200 book value = $4,800.
However, because the exchange lacks commercial substance and cash is received, the gain to be recognized is the proportion of cash to total consideration received. We calculate this as $12,000 cash received / ($48,000 fair value of new equipment + $12,000 cash) total consideration = 20%.
The gain that is recognized is then 20% of the total gain, which is 0.20 × $4,800 = $960.
