In the early 1990s, Dean & Summers Inc. marketed three brands of car fresheners,Coral, White Springs, and Autumn Breeze. The car freshener industry is typically described as a low-growth industry. In 1993, Dean & Summers spent $5.1 million to advertise Coral and was rewarded with sales of over $112 million. In the same year, it spent nearly $5 million marketing White Springs, but the car freshener had disappointing sales of less than $23 million. Autumn Breeze, with hardly any promotion at all, had $1.2 million in sales. According to the BCG Portfolio Model, which of the following statements about these three products best describes them? A. Coral is a star, White Springs is a cash cow, and Autumn Breeze is a dog.
B. Coral is a cash cow while White Springs and Autumn Breeze are both question marks.
C. Coral and White Springs are cash cows and Autumn Breeze is a dog.
D.Coral is a cash cow while White Springs and Autumn Breeze are both dogs.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

C: Coral and White Springs are cash cows and Autumn Breeze is a dog.

Explanation: Coral and White Springs both made a lot of money, meaning the profit far exceeded the amount of money spent on advertisements. Even though White springs didn't make as much as Coral in terms of profit, it's profit margin still exceeded the money spent on it.

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

According to the BCG Portfolio Model, 'Coral' can be classified as a 'cash cow' due to its high market share in a low-growth industry; 'White Springs' and 'Autumn Breeze' can be regarded as 'dogs' due to their low market share.

Explanation:

The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Portfolio Model categorizes products into four categories based on their market growth and market share: stars, cash cows, question marks, and dogs. Stars are products with high market share in high growth markets, cash cows products with high market share in low growth markets, question marks products with low market share in high growth markets, and dogs, products with low market share in low growth markets.

In the context of this question, 'Coral' with high advertising spend resulting in high sales in a low-growth industry could be considered a cash cow. Despite substantial marketing effort, 'White Springs' underperformed in sales, making it a dog. 'Autumn Breeze', with minimal promotion but sales nonetheless, could also be classified as a dog. Therefore, option D. 'Coral is a cash cow while White Springs and Autumn Breeze are both dogs', best describes their status according to the BCG Portfolio Model.

breakfast, expecting to find her favorite chocolate chip pancakes. Instead, all she got was a note from her
mother. The note said that her mother had to leave for an early morning meeting. Lexie grumpily poured herself
a bowl of cereal. This was not how she'd expected her birthday to begin.
Still, Lexie was looking forward to going to school. She was sure her friends had planned something special for
her. They always did! But Lexie's heart dropped when she got to school. None of her friends even wished her a
happy birthday. They just rushed off to their classes as soon as she approached them in the hallway. She thought
to herself sarcastically, "Happy birthday, Lex. Best birthday ever." Then she sighed and vont off to her algebra
class.
The algebra teacher, Mrs. Fields, was one of Lexie's favorite teachers. She thought, "Surely, Mrs. Fields will
remember my birthday. She has the entire class sing for everyone's birthday." As luck would have it, Mrs. Fields
didn't remember her birthday either. Lexie did all she could to control her emotions, but she felt like crying. She
was relieved when school ended for the day. Usually Lexie hung out with her friends after school, but today she
couldn't find any of them. "Great," she thought. "They've ditched me on my birthday. This day can't get any
worse."
Lexie couldn't wait to just go home and take a nap. She was surprised to find some strange noises coming from
her house as she approached it. As she slowly opened the front door, her mother and Mrs. Fields jumped up

Which excerpt from A Black Hole Is NOT a Hole is meant to help readers understand what a black hole looks like?If you could somehow take a close-up picture of a black hole, it wouldn't be one for the scrapbook. It would just be blank . . . and black.

As the light continues traveling in its new direction, it gets even closer to the center of the black hole, where gravity is even stronger.

Just as you rely on the rise and fall of a melody's tune and volume to recognize a particular song, scientists look for a unique pattern in the rise and fall of the X-rays to identify a black hole.”

explain how Boo Radley is viewed under the different definitions of “trash” in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Answers

I hated reading how too kill a mockingbird,  Atticus and his sister have completely different meanings of trash. In chapter 23, Atticus and Jem are discussing the outcome of the Tom Robinson trial, and Atticus talks about racial injustice. Atticus then tells his son this,

. . . whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash (Lee, 224).

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

First, let’s define trash and then we’ll get to Boo. Atticus’s definition of trash is someone with no integrity or regard for another race. Alexandra on the other hand, defies trash as anyone born to lower class families. While Atticus thinks that prejudice is bad, Alexandra encourages it. In the context of Boo Radley, this means that Boo is viewed as trash by Alexandra and not by Atticus.

What circumstances does Kevin experience that show he is probably not growing up in the contemporary United States? Font Sizes

Answers

"The Exercise", by Bernard MacLaverty, is the story of Kevin, a boy that starts Grammar School and feels closer to his father when doing his Latin homework.  

The author uses common words spelled differently to give insight that the story is not taking place in the contemporary United States. For example, the use of sixpence instead of dollars, and pyjama instead of pajama when Kevin referring to his father by saying "loved to smell his pyjama jacket and the shirts."

Your answer might include this information:One clue that this story is taking place outside of the United States is the author uses common words that are spelled differently such as pyjamas instead of pajamas. Also, the author mentions items that are not used in the United States such as sixpence for money instead of cent or dollar.-Plato Answer
