Answer:
b) Heightened global competition
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that working as a distributor of an automative part i.e. based on the Ohia diversifies its business operations in China. Also the employees and the management are working with this division and taking the classes on the chinese culture and their customs in order to feel comfortable
So this scenario represents that the global competition is on the peak
Therefore the option b is correct
Answer:
Time needed to complete the 4th unit = 57.80 hours
Explanation:
<u><em>The learning curve theory</em></u><em> states that as the cumulative output doubles the cumulative average time taken till date is reduced to a certain percentage of the previous time. This percentage is called learning rate</em>
Total time = Average time × cumulative number of units
The cumulative average time is determined using the formula below:
Y= aX^b
a - time taken for the first unit produced
b = log LR/Log 2
X- cumulative units till date
Y - cumulative average time taken for X units
LR- Learning rate
LR = 68/80 = 0.85 = 85%
<em>Time needed to complete the 4th unit</em>
= Learning rate × time take for the 2 unit
= 85% × 68
= 57.80 hours
Time needed to complete the 4th unit = 57.80 hours
Answer:
A) -0.55
B) The negativity in the estimated elasticity suggests that for every 1% increase in the price of transport there will be a corresponding 0.55% decrease in the number of Commuters
Explanation:
Given data:
current fare (P0) = $4
hiked fare (P1) = $6
change in fare = $2
number of rides before increase ( Q0 ) = 10000
number of rides after increase ( Q1 ) = 8000
change in rides = 2000
A) The estimated elasticity of demand for MRT rides using the midpoint /ARC method
Mid point method = [ ( Q1 - Q0 ) / ( Q1 + Q0 ) ] / [ (P1 - P0 ) / (P1 + P0 ) ]
= [ - 2000 / 18000 ] / [ 2 / 10 ]
= - 1000 / 1800 = - 5 / 9 ( estimated elasticity )
= - 0.55
B) The negativity in the estimated elasticity suggests that for every 1% increase in the price of transport there will be a corresponding 0.55% decrease in Commuters
Answer and Explanation:
Respected Sir,
Sub: Absorption costing to analyze product costs and subsequent cost-volume-profit decisions
As per your requirement please find the explanation below:
Absorption costing is a process by which we add part of the fixed overhead to the production expense of the goods. If we do on a per-unit basis. Here we will compute by dividing the fixed costs by the number of units that we built and sold over the era. Whereas Variable costing includes fixed overhead as a lump sum instead of a per-unit price.
Under this process, all your variable costs like equipment, raw materials, and shipping are included. We will add the maximum fixed overhead costs for the duration. Such costs are not calculated on a per-unit basis. Rather than we deduct them as a lump-sum expense from your income amount.
Variable costing is really useful as it reveals the earnings after all the expenses are paid for the accounting period. While you would not have earned revenue for the goods we purchased as some may be in the inventory, we are showing you have paid all of your expenses for the time. We have excess revenue when you actually sell the finished goods in the warehouse.
The absorption approach is not all that effective as absorption costing will inflate the income figures excessively in any given span of accounting. Since you're not going to subtract any of your fixed costs as we did not sell any of us produced goods, our profit and loss report doesn't reflect the maximum expenses you've had for the time. Therefore, these results may mislead us when our profitability is analyzed.

The full question is:
Karl's Sporting Goods started as a small shop catering to the fly-fishing crowd but as requests were made for different and varied goods, it branched out into an outdoor-sports store. Karl caters to his core customer base of hunters and fishermen, but stocks the latest outdoor gear for those who want to incorporate other sports such as backpacking into their hunting and fishing experience. Due to space limitations, he does not carry mountain bikes, but does carry gear for them. Since Karl's is not located near the ocean or a large body of water, he does not carry wetsuits or other watersports equipment, but he does carry gear that would be required for wading in cold mountain rivers and streams, and canoes and kayaks. His marketing is directed toward hunters and fishermen, but includes activities, events, and sales aimed at bringing outdoor enthusiasts with other interests into his store. Over the past month, he has received numerous request for rock climbing gear. As a result of these requests, Karl has entered into negotiations with three providers of high-quality rock climbing shoes and gear. What do Karl's activities show about his marketing for Karl's Sporting Goods?
Answer:
He has a marketing concept and is acting on it.
Explanation:
A marketing concept is the way by which businesses identify the needs of customers and come up with strategic ways of meeting those needs better than competing firms.
Different marketing concepts include: production concept, product concept, selling concept, marketing concept, and the societal marketing concept.
In the given scenario Karl's sporting goods only catered for fly fishers but as demand for other items increased they branched into other outdoor sport items.
He is stocking gear for swimming, rock climbing, and mountain bikers through partnership with suppliers even if they are not his primary market.
This is acting on marketing concept to be able to meet demand for the other outdoor sporting activities he does not normally supply
