Answer:

Take note that you used X and Y as the name of the two products but the options provided was changed to product A and B. Not withstanding, it doesn't affect the answer.

The correct answer is option (A) Product A, because it has less certain demand

Explanation:

A. Product A, because it has less certain demand.

Explanation:

Product X and Y both have the same critical ratio and both are normally distributed. Although, the demand for product X is uncertain but due to it's  large standard deviation of demand, the optimal order quantity is greater.

When a product has uncertain demand, it means that the seller can not predict the rate of demand of that product by the consumers.

Uncertain demands helps sellers to maximize profit or minimize cost.

In order to maximize profit, uncertain demand is put into consideration by the news vendor.

Answer:

A. Product A, because it has less certain demand.

Explanation:

According to the statement, the product X (A) is the one with the highest proportion of standard deviation, that is, it has a more uncertain demand. Taking into account this condition, it is expected that the number of optimal products will be greater because it has an average and critical relationship. For this reason, it is expected that the news seller will lean towards the first product, since it will generate higher income as explained at the beginning.

Answer: State Law.

Explanation:

This dispute falls under the jurisdiction of state law and so that is what the court will use. This is unless the company established a profit-sharing agreement as per the Uniform Limited Liability Company Act (ULLCA) and the state that they are in is one of the 19 states and District that enacted the UCCLA.

As the company never established a profit agreement principle, this falls under State law which normally calls for the division of profits equally amongst partners.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A strategy to be a low-cost provider of branded footwear is unlikely to result in the company being one of the best-performers in the industry if the company's management team fails to:_______.

5. establish production facilities in all 4 geographic regions, produce and market branded footwear with a 5-star or higher S/Q rating, and achieve global market share leadership in both private-label and branded footwear.

Explanation:

The U.S. market is an important market with global reach and image which a U.S. based company cannot neglect.  So, establishing production facilities in all 4 geographic regions will help the company to achieve higher U.S. market share and enhance its domestic and global image.  

Market branded footwear companies like Nike, Adidas, Jordan, Reebok, etc., are already competing with about 5 others in the global market for footwear.  For a company to belong to their class, it must achieve what they have already achieved, especially 5-star or higher S/Q rating.

The Business Strategy Gaming (BSG) is a rating consumer group that "rates the styling and quality of the footwear of all competitors and assigns a styling-quality or S/Q rating of 0 to 10 stars to each company's branded footwear offerings."  According to medium.com, to improve BSG rating, "it is important for each to aim for at least 20% market share in each and every segment. This is because when the business is evenly represented across the geographical regions, it will do well to the overall image of the company."
