A young couple has $300,000 that they have used to aggressively trade growth stocks. They place their account with a Registered Investment Adviser and direct the adviser to continue the strategy.

Magic realm, inc., has developed a new fantasy board game. the company sold 15,000 games last year at a selling price of $20 per game. fixed expenses associated with the game total $182,000 per year, and variable expenses are $6 per game. production of the game is entrusted to a printing contractor. variable expenses consist mostly of payments to this contractor.required: 1-a. prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.1-b. compute the degree of operating leverage.2. management is confident that the company can sell 58,880 games next year (an increase of 12,880 games, or 28%, over last year). given this assumption: a. what is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year? b. what is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)

Read the overview below and complete the activities that follow.apartment complexes often look for ways to recruit new tenants and retain current tenants. although apartment complexes offer the tangible benefit of shelter to their tenants, many apartment complexes also offer additional services to tenants to encourage tenants to stay or to support the rent prices. the following scenario identifies the several service gaps of a company that runs an apartment complex as well as solutions for reducing these service gaps.concept review: customers have certain expectations about how a service should be delivered. a service gap occurs when the delivery of a service fails to meet customer expectations. there are four types of service gaps: knowledge gap, standards gap, delivery gap, and the communications gap. it is important for marketers to identify these gaps and develop strategies for minimizing them.match the example or solution to the appropriate service gap category.1. wait for repairs 5. train employees well2. understand expectations 6. incentives for tenants3. do not overpromise 7. family movie night4. empower employees 8. delayed lawn careservice gap example solutionknowledge gap standards gap delivery gap communication gap

Suppose life expectancy in years (l) is a function of two inputs, health expenditures (h) and nutrition expenditures (n) in hundreds of dollars per year. the production function is upper l equals ch superscript 0.40 baseline upper n superscript 0.60l=ch0.40n0.60. beginning with c = 1, a health input of $400400 per year (hequals=44) and a nutrition input of $400400 per year (nequals=44), show that the marginal product of health expenditures and the marginal product of nutrition expenditures are both decreasing. the marginal product of health expenditures when h goes from 44 to 55 is nothing, and the marginal product of health when h goes from 66 to 77 is nothing. (round your answers to three decimal places.)
