Answer:

The integration or growth of a company can occur horizontally or vertically, depending on whether it acquires competing companies that develop their business in parallel (horizontal integration), or it acquires companies or businesses that are in a different stage of the production process (companies that generate raw materials, transport, marketing, etc.).

Thus, if Electrolux expands its business by acquiring a competitor such as Whirlpool, it will be a case of horizontal integration. In contrast, if Electrolux acquires a company dedicated to the marketing of products, such as Best Buy, it will be a case of vertical integration.

From the set $\{1, 2, 3, \dots, 20\},$ ten numbers are chosen at random, forming a subset. Let $M$ be the largest element among

Marysya12 [62]

The largest element can be as small as 10, which happens when the subset is {1, 2, ..., 10}. The probability of choosing this subset is (1/2)^10 = 1/1024. (Every element from 1 to 10 can either be in the subset, or not.)

The largest element can also be 11. All the numbers in the subset must be from 1 to 10, and we must choose 1 to leave out, so the probability that the largest element is 11 is C(10,1)*1/1024.

The largest element can also be 12. All the numbers in the subset must be from 1 to 11, and we must choose 2 to leave out, so the probability that the largest element is 12 is C(11,2)*1/1024.

We can do the other cases similarly:

Largest element is 13 -> C(12,3)*1/1024

Largest element is 14 -> C(13,4)*1/1024

Largest element is 15 -> C(14,5)*1/1024

Largest element is 16 -> C(15,6)*1/1024

Largest element is 17 -> C(16,7)*1/1024

Largest element is 18 -> C(17,8)*1/1024

Largest element is 19 -> C(18,9)*1/1024

Largest element is 20 -> C(19,10)*1/1024

Adding these up, we get (1 + C(10,1) + C(11,2) + ... + C(19,10))*1/1024. Since 1 = C(9,0), we also get (C(9,0) + C(10,1) + C(11,2) + ... + C(19,10))*1/1024.

By the Hockey Stick Identity, C(9,0) + C(10,1) + C(11,2) + ... + C(19,10) = C(20,10), so the expected value of the largest element is 1/11*C(20,10)*1/1024 = 4199/256.

A company has the choice of either selling 1,000 unfinished units as is or completing them. The company could sell the unfinishe

professor190 [17]

Answer:

It is more convenient to sell the units unfinished by $500.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units= 1,000

Unfinished:

Selling price= $4.00 per unit.

Complete:

Incremental costs= $1.00 per unit for direct materials, $2.00 per unit for direct labor, and $1.50 per unit for overhead

Selling price= $8.00 each.

We need to calculate the gross profit of each option and choose the more convenient:

Unfinished:

Gross profit= 1,000*4= $4,000

Complete:

Gross profit= 1,000*(8 - 4.5)= $3,500

It is more convenient to sell the units unfinished by $500.

An appliance dealer must decide how many (if any) new microwave ovens to order for next month. The ovens cost $220 and sell for

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

Order 0: we have unsold items for which the return is -25

return is -25*(.4*1+.2*2+.1*3) = -25*1.1 = $-27.50

Order 1: we have to sell at a discount if no orders, otherwise sell 1, and unsold items if demand 2 or 3

return is .3*(1/2*300-220) + (1-.3)*(300-220) + -.25*(.2*1+.1*2) = .3*-70+.7*80+-25*(.4) =

-21 + 56 - 10 = $25

Order 2: we have to sell at a discount if 0 or 1 orders, sell 1 or 2, and unsold items if demand 3

return is (.3*2+.4*1)*(1/2*300-220)+(.4*1+(.2+.1)*2)*(300-220)+-25*.1 =1*-70+1*80-25*.1 =

-70 + 80 - 2.5 = $7.50

Order 3:

return is (.3*3+.4*2+.2*1)*(1/2*300-220)+(.4*1+.2*2+.1*3)*(300-220) = 1.9*-70 + 1.1*80 =

-133 + 88 = -$45

Order 1, with a return of $25, as this is the highest return.

b) If we had a perfect information, we would never pay a penalty for underordering or suffer a discounted return from over-ordering

(.4*1+.2*2+.1*3)*(300-220) = 1.1*80 = $88

Then, the value of perfect information is $88 - $25 = $63

If the result of the survey is an F, we have

P(D=1|F) = 4/13

P(D=2|F) = 3/13

P(D=3|F) = 9/26

If the order is 0, the return is -25*(1*4/13+2*3/13+3*9/26) = -25*47/26 = -1175/26 = -$45.19

If the order is 1, the return is 3/26*-70+(1-3/26)*80+-25*(1*3/13+2*9/26) = 515/13 = $39.62

If the order is 2, the return is (3/26*2+4/13)*-70+(1*4/13+2*(3/13+9/26))*80 + -25*9/26 =

1835/26 = $70.58

If the order is 3, the return is (3/26*3+4/13*2+3/13)*-70+(1*4/13+2*3/13+3*9/26)*80 =

795/13 = $61.15

We should order 2.

P(D=0|U) = 8/13

P(D=1|U) = 4/13

P(D=2|U) = 2/39

P(D=3|U) = 1/39

If we order 0, the return is (4/13*1+2/39*2+1/39*3)*-25 = -475/39 = -$12.18

If the order is 1, the return is 8/13*-70+(1-8/13)*80+-25*(1*2/39+2*1/39) =-580/39= -14.87

If the order is 2, the return is (8/13*2+4/13)*-70+(1*4/13+2*(2/39+1/39))*80 + -25*1/39 =

-2785/39= -$71.41

If the order is 3, the return is (8/13*3+4/13*2+2/39*1)*-70+(1*4/13+2*2/39+3*1/39)*80 =

-1780/13 = -$136.92

Order 0

P(D=0|N) = 3/35

P(D=1|N) = 4/7

P(D=2|N) = 12/35

P(D=3|N) = 0

If we order 0, the return is (4/7*1+12/35*2)*-25 = -220/7 = -$31.43

If the order is 1, the return is 3/35*-70+(1-3/35)*80+-25*(1*12/35) = 410/7 = $58.57

If the order is 2, the return is (3/35*2+4/7)*-70+(1*4/7+2*12/35)*80 = 340/7 = $48.57

We don't order 3, as the probability of 3 is 0

we order 1

We order 2 if there is an F, 0 if there is an N, and 1 if there is a U.

d) P(F) = .26

P(N) = .39

P(U) = .35

Then, the expected return is .26*1835/26 +-475/39*.39 + 410/7*.35 = $34.10

Since we make $25 if we just take 1, we should pay up to $34.10-$25 = $9.10 for the survey.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Limited Supply of lawyers will lead to increase in Lawyer Wages / Salaries

Explanation:

Labour Markets are at equilibrium where : Labour Demand (by firms) = Labour Supply (by employees).

Analysing the labour market for Lawyers : Previous anticipations finally leading to small graduating classes & limited supply of lawyers. This limited supply creates excess demand of lawyers. The mismatched excess demand (by firms) creates competition among buyer firms, which leads to increase in price (wages or salaries) of lawyers.
