Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Lot size = 600

Average demand per week = 100 units

Lead time = 4 weeks

Cycle inventory is determined by dividing the lot size by 2. It is calculated as follows:

= Lot size ÷ 2

= 600 ÷ 2

= 300 units

Pipeline inventories is determined by the product of average demand and lead time from plant to wholesaler.

Pipeline inventories:

= Average demand × Lead time

= 100 × 4

= 400 units

Hence, Total cycle + Pipeline inventories = 300 units + 400 units

                                                        = 700 units

Now, if the plant reduces its lead time from 4 to 2 weeks and lot size remains the same, then

Cycle inventory:

= Lot size ÷ 2

= 600 ÷ 2

= 300 units

Pipeline inventories:

= Average demand × Lead time

= 100 × 2

= 200 units

Hence, New Total cycle + Pipeline inventories = 300 units + 200 units

                                                                             = 500 units

Answer: Perceptual barriers  

   

Explanation: As the name suggests perceptual barriers refers to the barriers that are created out from the perceptions. In such barriers the receiver did not even try to understand the message with all his efforts and behaves carelessly.

In the given case, the employees of Teresa did not understand the message and state that they do. Therefore, the employees might be acting carelessly or have some other perception about their boss.

They could have a perception that asking too much questions might affect their image in the eyes of boss.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B.

Which of the following statements about brand names is true?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Which of the following statements about brand names is true?

  • 1. Brand names give the seller an incentive to provide consistently high-quality products and services in order to protect the reputation of the brand.

Options 2 and 3 are wrong:

2. Brand names are always economically wasteful since they dupe consumers into buying more expensive goods and services that are no different from generic versions.  

⇒ FALSE, just because a product has a certain brand it doesn't make it better and therefore more expensive. There are brands that consumers associate with luxury and expensive products, while there are other brands that consumers recognize while not necessarily being more expensive than others, e.g Coke.  

3. It is always rational to prefer brand names over generic substitutes.

⇒ FALSE, it depends on the type of product. Generic medicines as just as effective as banded medicines.

  • This illustrates a common <u>CRITIQUE</u> of advertising. This ad targets young people that are susceptible to believing exaggerated or materialistic aspects of a product that cannot be proven correct or wrong.

Dan Demaar and Rob Runten are working on a class assignment on economic growth. Dan collects the GDP growth data for the country
ozzi

Answer:

A

Explanation:

If the growth rate of population in Fanez has consistently exceeded the real GDP growth, then the GDP per capita should be less than before. The GDP per capita is the division between the GDP (numerator) and the total population (denominator). If the denominator increases faster than the numerator then the GDP per capita decreases. Dan should measure the change in living standards in Fanez by looking the GDP per capita, because this measures how prosperous is the country by individual.
