As firms build databases that contain customer ______, marketing researchers must be careful not to abuse this collection, which may contain sensitive personal details.
Answer:
The correct answer is information
Explanation:
Database Marketing is a form of direct marketing using databases of customers or potential customers to generate personalized communications in order to promote a product or service for marketing purposes. The communication method can be any addressable medium, as in direct marketing.
The difference between direct and database marketing is mainly due to the attention given to data analysis. Database Marketing emphasizes the use of statistical techniques to develop consumer behavior models, which are then used to select clients for communications. As a result, database marketers are also large users of Database Stores, since they have large amounts of consumer data which increases the chances that a more accurate product can be built.
There are two main types of database marketing: 1) Consumer databases and 2) Business databases. Consumer databases are primarily aimed at companies that sell to consumers, commonly abbreviated as "from business to customer" (B2C) or BtoC. Business databases are much more advanced in terms of the information they provide, this is mainly because business databases do not have the same privacy laws as consumer databases.
Some highways have commuter or express pass lanes. During rush hour lanes on the highway move slowly or often are stop and go, but the express lanes continue to move at a faster pace.

b. more important than drivers waiting in the longer commute lines on the freeway.
c. drivers who value speed and convenience more than those in the stop and go lanes and are willing to pay additional express pass fees for the option of avoiding traffic jams.
d. experienced drivers that know that the best way to avoid commuter lines on the freeway is to leave home earlier to get to work.
Answer:
Drivers who value speed and convenice more than hose in the stop and go lanes and are willing to pay additional express pass fees for the option of avoiding traffic jams.
Explanation:
In this scenario the driver's Choi's to buy the express pass expresses their preference for fast and convinient commute. They are willing to pay for access to the express way to get it.
Those that still use the highway and endure the the stop and go traffic value the money they will pay for a pass above the speed and convinience of using the express way.
The price of a stock is:_______.a) the future value of all expected future dividends, discounted at the dividend growth rate. b) the present value of all expected future dividends, discounted at the dividend growth rate. c) the future value of all expected future dividends, discounted at the investors required return. d) the present value of all expected future dividends, discounted at the investors required return.
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
The price of a stock is also known as price of equity. This is the price the equity of a company is presently worth. The price the potential investors will be able to purchase it. One of the ways of calculating price of a stock is the Dividend Discount Model which can be calculated by:
Ke = (D1÷Po) - g
Ke is the Cost of equity(i.e the required rate of return for investors)
D1 is the next year dividend payments
Po is the price of the stock
g is the expected dividend growth rate
To get Po, we can rewrite the formula as:
Po = D1÷Ke - g÷Ke
We can see now that the expected future dividends will be discounted at the ''Ke'' which is the investors'required rate of return
The price of a stock is the present value of all its expected future dividends, discounted at the investor's required return, according to the discounted cash flow model used in finance.
Explanation:The price of a stock is d) the present value of all expected future dividends, discounted at the investor's required return. This concept is rooted in the discounted cash flow (DCF) model often used in finance to determine the valuation of an investment based on its expected future cash flows. To calculate the price of a stock, one would estimate the dividends the stock is expected to pay in the future and then discount those dividends back to their present value using a discount rate, which reflects the investor's required rate of return on the investment. This is because a dollar received in the future is worth less than a dollar today, due to the time value of money and opportunity costs. Therefore, the sum of these present values of future dividends represents the stock's current intrinsic value.

The money supply equals Group of answer choices a. monetary base plus money multiplier. b. monetary base divided by money multiplier. c. money multiplier divided by monetary base. d. money multiplier multiplied by monetary base.
Answer:
money multiplier multiplied by monetary base
Explanation:
The money supply equals money multiplier multiplied by monetary base
Money supply is the quantity of money available in an economy for immediate use. It equals the currency held by public plus demand deposits at banks and
Monetary base is the sum of total currency in circulation and the amount held by banks as reserves.
A one-dollar increase in the monetary base causes the money supply to increase by more than one dollar. The increase in the money supply is the money multiplier.
Therefore Money supply is the monetary base multiplied by the money multiplier.

Which situation indicates a net loss within the Income Statement section of the worksheet? A. Total debits exceed total credits B. Total credits exceed total debits C. Total debits equal total credits D. None of the above
Answer:
A. Total debits exceed total credits
Explanation:
The income statement shows the revenue/income generated and expenses incurred by a business over a given period of time.

Where the total expenses is higher than the total sales, the company is said to have made a loss, otherwise, a profit.
Hence a net loss is when Total debits exceed total credits.

Answer:
The correct answer is ethnicity bias.
Explanation:
Ethnicity bias is the wrong tendency to perceive members of the same race different from ours as similar or equal. For example, a Westerner would perceive Asians very similar, without being able to distinguish facial features, while on the contrary the same would happen, an Asian tends to see Western faces as all the same.
From social psychology this bias is interpreted as an endogroup advantage, so that we favor our ethnic group and differentiate ourselves from other exogroups. This bias is also interpreted as a rapid formation of stereotypes.
The marketing manager would like to introduce sales commissions as an incentive for the sales staff. The marketing manager has proposed a commission of $13 per unit. In exchange, the sales staff would accept an overall decrease in their salaries of $107,000 per month. The marketing manager predicts that introducing this sales incentive would increase monthly sales by 360 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?
Answer:
$17,760 increase
Explanation:
current sales = 9,800 units ⇒ projected sales = 10,160 units
current fixed expenses = $1,052,000 ⇒ projected fixed expenses = $945,000
current variable expenses = $51 per unit ⇒ projected variable expenses = $64 per unit
current income projected income
statement statement
total revenue $1,666,000 $1,727,200
variable expenses $499,800 $650,240
fixed expenses $1,052,000 $945,000
operating income $114,200 $131,960
change in operating income = $131,960 - $114,200 = $17,760
Final answer:
Introducing a sales commission incentive plan while reducing salaries by $107,000 and increasing sales by 360 units will result in a decrease in net operating income of $102,320 per month.
Explanation:
The question asks for the calculation of the overall effect on a company's monthly net operating income due to the proposed change in the sales staff's compensation structure. To calculate this, we consider the sales commission of $13 per unit and the decrease in salaries totaling $107,000 monthly. The sales are anticipated to increase by 360 units monthly due to the new incentive plan.
To compute the net impact, we take the product of the commission per unit and the increased number of units sold: $13 * 360 units = $4,680.
Then, we subtract the decrease in salaries from the increased revenue due to commissions:
$4,680 - $107,000 = -$102,320.
Therefore, the change would result in a decrease in monthly net operating income of $102,320.

Good products that are sold under the brand will make it stronger, but those products that are not very good or are simply bad products will weaken the brand. When the brand is weakened by overusing it, we call it brand dilution since the brand good reputation is diluted.
