Answer:

unreasonable demands

Explanation:

This specific customer is making contradictory demands since he/she first complains that the breakfast is too cold and then that it is too hot.

The problem here is not the fault of the waiter or the kitchen, the customer is probably frustrated about something else (or has some type of internal conflict) and just decides to be rude or irrational with his/her meal. No matter what service is provided to the customer, he/she will complain about it just for the sake of complaining. This type of customer is classified as chronic complainer.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: The supply of vegetables has shifted to the left along an inelastic demand curve

Explanation: The quantity of vegetables sold has been reduced by 20 percent, which simply means the aggregate market supply curve has experienced a drop/decrease and that is usually indicated by a complete shift of the supply curve to the left.

Furthermore, we can determine easily if the demand is elastic or inelastic, since the question has stated the percentage change in quantity demanded as 20% and the percentage change in price as 30%.

The coefficient of elasticity is calculated as

E = %change in quantity demanded/%change in price

E = 20/30

E =0.66

Since the coefficient of elasticity is less than 1, then it means demand is inelastic.

Which parts of this passage illustrate a company’s vision? Michael, who started his computer business 20 years ago, has now attr
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The below statement marks the company's vision.

In a period of 10 years, he states that the foundation envisions a broad and impartial society that respects and encourages children and actively enables people’s participation.

Explanation:

Companies tend to summarize their goals and objectives in mission and vision statements. Both of these serve different purposes for a company but are often confused with each other.

<u>Vision of a company/organisation</u>

  • Vision statement outlines what a company wants to be in the future.
  • The Vision Statement focuses on the future
  • It is a statement that is a source of inspiration and motivation.  
  • It describes not just the future of the organization but the future of the industry or society in which the organization hopes to effect change.

Relevance to the given scenario is that in the identified statement, Micheal has clearly demonstrated, what he sees for the foundation and how it wants to impact the foundation's stakeholders.

The vision of the foundation is as follows:

<em>In a period of 10 years, he states that the foundation envisions a broad and impartial society that respects and encourages children and actively enables people’s participation.</em>

<em></em>

Vision is different from the mission:

<u>Mission statement:</u>

The Mission Statement concentrates on the present; it defines the customer(s), critical processes and it informs you about the desired level of performance.

The mission of the foundation is as follows:

<em>The purpose of the foundation is to maximize the effect of public participation and welcome the recognition for volunteering.</em>

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Cherry Jalopies, Inc.:

mean = (0.22 + 0.11 - 0.04 + 0.06 + 0.09) / 5 = 0.52 / 5 = 0.104

variance = [(0.22 - 0.104)² + (0.11 - 0.104)² + (-0.04 - 0.104)² + (0.06 - 0.104)² + (0.09 - 0.104)²] / 5 = (0.013456 + 0.000036 + 0.020736 + 0.001936 + 0.000196) / 5 = 0.007272

standard deviation = √0.007272 = 0.085276 = 8.53%

Straw Construction Company:

mean = (0.16 + 0.23 - 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.17) / 5 = 0.56 / 5 = 0.112

variance = [(0.16 - 0.112)² + (0.23 - 0.112)² + (-0.01 - 0.112)² + (0.01 - 0.112)² + (0.17 - 0.112)²] / 5 = (0.002304 + 0.013924 + 0.014884 + 0.010404 + 0.003364) / 5 = 0.008976

standard deviation = √0.008976 = 0.09474 = 9.47%

Companies using LIFO are required to disclose the amount at which inventory would have been reported had it used FIFO. Similarly
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

LIFO is in fact, only allowed to be used in the United States, because under the new IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), the used of LIFO has been prohibited.

The reason for this, is that LIFO inflates the value of inventory, because the (usually) lower cost of old inventory is what is reported.

This is why companies using LIFO are obliged to report the hypothetical value of the inventories had they used FIFO.
