Answer:

A transformational process is a process by which we achieve lower costs, increased efficiency or level of output, higher quality of product, anything that brings competitive advantages over rivals.

So this means that Transformational process doesn't includes lowering product quality and efficiency or output.

Option 1 is incorrect because it talks about increasing production by decreasing product quality.

Option 3 is also incorrect because it talks about increasing inefficiency. Remember: Efficiency is increasing output at a set level of input.

Option 4 is also incorrect because transformational process doesn't includes the selling of inputs. Inputs are raw material, labor hours, overhead cost, etc these are not sold by any companies. However their is a possibility that semi finished goods are sold to other companies like Apple purchased Mobile displays from Samsung to meet its customer demand.

But its impossible to sell its labor, raw material which is readily available in the market.

Option 5 is also incorrect because corrective actions are taken when there is something going wrong. When the level of output is increasing from the desired output level it means its an achievement. So this is not correct option.

Option 2 is correct because conversion of inputs into ideas or products will result in competitive advantage. For example, Mercedes first time in the history introduced two door car. This helped Mercedes to lower its material cost sufficiently and Price of the car as well. As a result this increased its sales due to lower prices charged.

Transformational Processes includes activities of converting your resources into more efficient assets which is reflected in this option.

Answer:

It describes the problem of transaction costs and negotiation.

Explanation:

Externalities are situations that arise when the activities of an organization affects another for good or bad, but with the first organization that caused the change, receiving no benefits (if it was a positive change), or bearing no costs (if it as a negative change).

Ronald Coase proposed some theories about the possible solutions to externalities. One of them is negotiation between the two parties involved. The problem with this solution is the high costs of transaction that could be spent before an agreement is reached. The number of people involved in the negotiation could also be a problem.

The sea wharf restaurant would like to determine the best way to allocate a monthly advertising budget of $1000 between newspape

Andreas93 [3]

From what I understood in the problem, the total budget that covers all types of media is only $1,000 per month. For the allocation, each type of media would get at least 25% of the budget. If we infer on this information, there should only be 4 types of media, at least. This is because four 25% portions would equal to 100%. If it exceeds 25% for each of the four types, it would be over the $1000 budget. With that being said, it is also possible that there will be 3 or 2 types of media. Nevertheless, let's just stick to the least assumption of 25% for each of the 4 types.

If local newspaper advertising is one of the four types, then:

$1000(25%) = $250

It would get $250 from the overall budget.

Explain the role of cognitive shortcomings in the WorldCom fraud and how social and organizational pressures influenced Betty Vi

Answer: Ethical Obligations and Decision-Making in Accounting-The Heading is devoted to helping students cultivate the ethical commitment needed to ensure that their work meets the highest standards of integrity, independence, and objectivity.

* This program is designed to provide instructors with the flexibility and pedagogical effectiveness, and includes numerous features designed to make both learning and teaching easier.

Explanation: The first, addressed in Part I, is the administrative cost of deregulation, which has grown substantially under the Telecommunications Act of 1996.Part II addresses the consequences of the FCC's use of a competitor-welfare standard when formulating its policies for local competition, rather than a consumer-welfare standard. I evaluate the reported features of the FCC's decision in its Triennial Review. Press releases and statements concerning that decision suggest that the FCC may have finally embraced a consumer-welfare approach to mandatory unbundling at TELRIC prices. The haphazard administrative process surrounding the FCC's decision, however, increases the likelihood of reversal on appeal.Beginning in Part III, I address at greater length the WorldCom fraud and bankruptcy. I offer an early assessment of the harm to the telecommunications industry from WorldCom's fraud and bankruptcy. I explain how WorldCom's misconduct caused collateral damage to other telecommunications firms, government, workers, and the capital markets. WorldCom's false Internet traffic reports and accounting fraud encouraged overinvestment in long-distance capacity and Internet backbone capacity. Because Internet traffic data are proprietary and WorldCom dominated Internet backbone services, and because WorldCom was subject to regulatory oversight, it was reasonable for rival carriers to believe WorldCom's misrepresentation of Internet traffic growth. Event study analysis suggests that the harm to rival carriers and telecommunications equipment manufacturers from WorldCom's restatement of earnings was $7.8 billion. WorldCom's false or fraudulent statements also supplied state and federal governments with incorrect information essential to the formulation of telecommunication policy. State and federal governments, courts, and regulatory commissions would thus be justified in applying extreme skepticism to future representations made by WorldCom.Part IV explains how WorldCom's fraud and bankruptcy may have been intended to harm competition, and in the future may do so, by inducing exit (or forfeiture of market share) by the company's rivals. WorldCom repeatedly deceived investors, competitors, and regulators with false statements about its Internet traffic projections and financial performance. At a minimum, WorldCom's fraudulent or false
