approach, what price should mountaintop charge for a round ofgolf?

b.$78.50
c. $ 0.21
d. $71.00

The correct option is B

Explanation:

The return on assets would be:

Return on assets (ROA)= Assets × Return

                                      = $45,000,000 × 12%

                                     = $5,400,000

Return per customer = ROA / Number of golfers

                                  = $5,400,000 / 400,000

                                  = $13.50

Fixed Cost per Customer = Fixed Cost / Number of golfers

                                          = $20,000,000 / 400,000

                                         = $50

Cost to be charged per customer = Profit + Fixed Cost + Variable Cost

                                                        = $13.50 + $50 + $15

                                                        = $78.50

answer; (a) searching for information can be done quickly;

1) the stages a new product goes through from beginning to end, i.e., the stages that a product passes through from introduction through growth, maturity, and decline. 2) the time from initial research and development to the time at which sales and support of the product to customers are withdrawn. 3) the period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably.
