a. Mutually exclusive alternatives imply alternatives that cannot occur together. In relation to this question, since the manager must purchase a new dump truck and does not have a need for a second dump truck, that means that two trucks are mutually exclusive. Therefore, mutually exclusive alternatives are

No.    Description          Cost ($)

2       Dump Truck         170,000

3       Dump Truck        265,000

b. Alternative are not acceptable if they do not meet the conditioned specified. In relation to this question, since the dumping trailer can only be purchased along with a dump truck it means that Dumping Trailer for the Dump Truck is not acceptable. Also, since Loader is not a trcuk, that means it is not also acceptable. Therefore, the alternatives that are not acceptable are:

No.    Description                                              Cost ($)

1         Loader                                                     125,000

REITs pay dividends in order to retain their favorable tax status. As the next chapter on stock explains, corporate dividends are made from earnings. REIT dividends often are not made from earnings but the distributions are made from funds from operations (FFO). REIT accounting earnings are adjusted for noncash expenses such as deprecia-tion to determine funds from operations. In addition, a REIT may sell a property and distribute the proceeds. For these reasons, financial analysts often use FFO instead of earnings to analyze a REIT. Distributions are often more highly correlated with per-share funds from operation than they are with earnings per share (EPS). Consider the following FFO and EPS for Washington Real Estate Trust:
Year 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
Distributions $1.16 1.23 1.31 1.39 1.47 1.55 1.60 1.64 1.68 1.72 1.73 1.74 1.74 1.47 1.20 1.20
FFO

To verify that the dividend distribution is more strongly correlated with FFO than with EPS, compute the correlation coefficients relating the distributions to FFO and to EPS.

Firm Aay operates a pool hall in Boom Town. Business has been very profitable. However, there are dark clouds on the horizon. Firm Bee is considering entering the pool hall market in Boom Town.

Erik Cartman just took a new position with Colorado Research, Inc. Erik’s first customer, the president of a local bank, wanted a bank image study to be conducted measuring not only the client’s banks’ image, but that of his competitors as well. In designing the research project, Erik talked to several of his friends one night about how they viewed their banks. Erik charged the client for this and billed it as "Exploratory Research NFocus Group." The next day Erik tried to remember most of what his friends had told him. Some of the issues were "closeness to home" of branch locations, "cool online banking," and "friendly tellers." Erik took these issues, made up some of his own and put them into a semantic differential scale format. After the research study, Erik wrote a report and referred to the semantic differential scale he devised as a "Standard Marketing Research Scale to Measure the Construct of Bank Image." What Erik did was:___________
A) correct; he used exploratory research to generate most of the items for his
measurement of bank image
B) correct; although he used some of his own opinions, they were based upon experience and he did make use of a focus group
C) incorrect; the measurement of bank image was incorrect as bank image should be measured only by using Likert scales
D) incorrect; we do not know if the scale Mr. Cartman devised was valid or reliable, but he was unethical in presenting the measurement as"standard marketing research"
E) correct; Erik saved considerable time and money by creating his own measurement of the construct
