Answer:

b. evaluating alternatives

Explanation:

Decision making process involves identifying a problem, defining the decision criteria, determining the decision type, generating alternatives, evaluating and selecting the best possible alternative,

A problem is defined when a gap exists between actual and desired state. Next step is to identify the organizational criteria upon which decisions would be based.

Third step is to weigh pros and cons of the criteria in light of the situation. Next step is to generate alternatives and options which are available.

In the next step, all the available options are weighed w.r.t organizational criteria, which is the evaluation stage.

The last step is the selection of the most feasible alternative and it's implementation.

Mkey [24]

Answer: If Creative Analysis, Inc. decides to maintain a constant debt-equity ratio, what rate of growth can they maintain? 4.82percent

Explanation:

Sustainable growth = {[$540 / ($3,000 + $1,700)] [$216 / $540]} / {1 {[$540 / ($3,000 + $1,700)] [$216 / $540]}} = .04817 = 4.82 percent

When the local grocery store puts cereal on sale, reducing its price from $4.40 per item to $3.40 per item, the quantity sold in
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

1. Price elasticity of demand

2 & 3. 4.55%

4 & 5. 22.73%

6. 0.2

8. 15.79%

9. 0.56  

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial quantity demanded = 220

New quantity demanded = 230

Initial price = $4.40

New price = $3.40

1. This illustrates the price elasticity of demand.  Price elasticity of demand is defined as the responsiveness of quantity demanded to any change in the price of the commodity.

2 & 3. Percentage change in quantity demanded:

= [(New quantity demanded - Initial quantity demanded) ÷ Initial quantity demanded] × 100

= [(230 - 220) ÷ 220] × 100

= 0.04545 × 100

= 4.55%

4 & 5. Percentage change in price:

= [(New price - Initial price) ÷ Initial price] × 100

= [($3.40 - $4.40) ÷ $4.40] × 100

= 0.2273 × 100

= 22.73%

6. Price elasticity of demand for cereal:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price

= 4.55 ÷ 22.73

= 0.2

7. The price elasticity of demand is comes out to be 0.2 which is less than 1, indicates that quantity demanded is less responsive to changes in the price level.

8 & 9. Given that,

Initial quantity demanded = 210

New quantity demanded = 230

Initial price = $4.10

New price = $3.50

Using the mid point method,

Average price:

= (Initial price + New price ) ÷ 2

= ($4.10 + $3.50 ) ÷ 2

= $3.8

Percentage change in price:

= (New price - Initial price) ÷ Average price

= ($3.50 - $4.10) ÷ $3.8

= 0.1579 or 15.79%

Average quantity demanded:

= (Initial quantity demanded + New quantity demanded ) ÷ 2

= (210 + 230) ÷ 2

= 220

Percentage change in quantity demanded:

= (New quantity demanded - Initial quantity demanded) ÷ Average quantity demanded

= (230 - 210) ÷ 220

= 0.0909 or 9.09%

Price elasticity of demand:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price

= 9.09 ÷ 15.79

= 0.56

A North Face retail store in Chicago sells 500 jackets each month. Each jacket costs the store $100 and the company has an annua
algol13

Answer:

1) What is the annual holding and ordering cost?

annual ordering cost = $100 x 12 = $1,200

annual holding cost = ($100 x 25%) x [500 x 1/2(average inventory)] = $6,250

total $7,450

2) On average, how long does a jacket spend in inventory?

= 30 days / 2 = 15 days

3) If the retail store wants to minimize ordering and holding cost, what order size do you recommend?

economic order quantity (EOQ) = √[(2 x annual demand x order cost) / annual holding cost per unit]

EOQ = √[(2 x 6,000 x 100) / 25] = √48,000 = 219.09 units ≈ 219 units

4) How much would the optimal order reduce holding and ordering cost relative to the current policy?

EOQ = 219

total number of orders = 6,000 / 219 = 27.4 per year

average inventory = 219 / 2 = 109.5 units

annual ordering cost = $100 x 27.4 = $2,740

annual holding cost = ($100 x 25%) x 109.5 = $2,737.50

total $5,477.50

annual savings = $7,450 - $5,477.50 = $1,972.50

Ben is assigned by his employer to improve an ultrasonic range-finding device. While working on the improvement, he recognizes t
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

1. He has not developed the idea yet

2. His employer knows he his a pacifist so he has the delima is he ethically correct to not develop a product that can be used for warfare.

Explanation:

In this scenario Ben signed an agreement with his employer that all ideas he has developed on the job and while working with the company is a property of the company.

This is a common agreement that gives a company property rights over work developed by their employees.

However since Ben is a pacifist he has an ethical dilemma when he has an idea that can weaponize an ultrasonic range-finding device.

He is justifying his decision by saying the idea has not been developed yet and his employer will not expect him to develop such technology since he is a pacifist.

Desired consumption is Cd = 100 + 0.8Y - 500r - 0.5G, and desired investment is Id = 100 - 500r. Real money demand is Md/P = Y -
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Under a) r=0.1;Id=50;Cd=750;P=7 b) P only changes and is now 9.33

Explanation:

a)  In a closed economy national savings are equal to investments or:

S d = I d = Y - Cd - G

Id = Y - 100 - 0.8*Y + 500*r - 0.5*G

100 - 500*r = 0.2*Y -100 + 500*r -0.5*G

200 - 1000*r = 0.2*1000 - 0.5*200=100

-1000*r=-100

r= 0.1

i = 0.15

Id = 100 -50 =50

Cd= 100 + 800 - 50 - 100=750

P = Md/Y-2000 i

P= 2100/1000 -300=7

b) If money supply increases to 2800, the price level would be:

P = 2800/Y - 2000*i = 2800/Y- 2000*(i-inflation)

However, since the variables determining real interest rate remained the same, r is also the same or 0.1 and i is 0.15. Consumption and investment remain the same, only price level changes or:

P=9.33
