Mega Moving Services (MMS) is a moving company serving the greater Philadelphia region. MMS has built extensive cash reserves an

d is well known in the area. Lately, high gas prices are eating into the company’s margins as they have a significant number of trucks in operation.

The market development team has identified rural, yet growing areas between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in Central Pennsylvania as good locations to expand. First, identify what SWOT stands for.

Answer:

SWOT stands for Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat.

A SWOT analysis is a tool to identify which factors are influencing an organization to take initiatives or strategic actions. Based on internal factors (strength and weakness) and external factors (opportunity and threat) analysis and MMS, the expansion is the appropriate strategic decision. Although MMS is a renowned company, the profit margin is decreasing, which is a weakness of the company, the company's decision is appropriate. Therefore, the company's weakness outweighs the strengths.

The opportunity of the company is to lower the gasoline price, but there is still a threat of losing the market share. However, the opportunity is to earn more profit means it edges out the threat as well. Therefore, the strategic decision is correct.

Answer the following question based on the article "The Mystery of Original Sin: We Don't Know Why God Permitted the Fall, but W
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

D) He wants us to learn that having Him at the center of our lives will always be the best for us no matter how big or small the decisions we must face.

Explanation:

The article exposes that dehumanization is part of the world we're living in today. Marguerite Shuster argues that the world we're living in today is Genesis 3 world.

What's wrong with this world? "As the story goes, Chesterton responded with just two words: "I am." His answer is unlikely to be popular with a generation schooled to cultivate self-esteem, to pursue its passions and chase self-fulfillment first and foremost."

Then Shuster's invitation is to recenter our lives at Him.

The Digby's workforce complement will grow by 20% (rounded to the nearest person) next year. Ignoring downsizing from automating
Lerok [7]

Complete Question:

Baldwin's workforce complement (number of employees) will grow by 10% next year. Baldwin spends the same amount extra above the $1,000 recruiting base, which is $694 per employee. Complement/work force was 434 and New Hires were 67 for last year. What will they spend this year on recruiting this year?

Answer: $84,700

<u>Explanation:</u>

Total employees = 434 + 67 = 501

As mentioned in the question that Baldwin's workforce will increase by 10%.

Hence, existing employees x 110% = 501 x 110% = 551 (Ignore the decimal as employees cannot be in decimal) Increase of 50 employees

Baldwin will spend $694 + $1,000 = $1,694

Therefore, for 50 employees he would spend $1,694

Baldwin would spend a total of (50 x $1,694) = $ 84,700

Consider the price of gas in France to be 1.3 euros per liter. If a visitor has 50 euros, how many gallons can be purchased (the
mariarad [96]

Answer:

10.16 gallons of gas

Explanation:

To be exact, a US gallon contains 3.78541 liters.

So a gallon of gasoline contains 3.78541 liters of gasoline, which means that one gallon of gasoline costs 1.30€ x 3.78541 = 4.92€

If the visitor has 50€, he/she can purchase 50€/4.92€ = 10.16 gallons of gas

*Only the US, Myanmar and Liberia use the imperial system of measurement (e.g. miles, yards, feet, gallons, quarts, etc.) while the rest of the world uses the metric system (e.g. meters, kilometers, liters, etc.). But the US was one of the first countries in the world to formally adopt the metric system (since the 19th century), but the change was not mandatory, so most people continued to use the imperial system as part of the culture.
