Explanation:
Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers.
Generally, the supply chain management involves all the activities associated with planning, execution and supply of finished goods and services to the consumers.
Some of the service providers in the supply and logistics chain management are;
1. Common (public) carrier: a transportation service provider that handles shipments on a case-by-case basis i.e based on the type of shipment, without entering into long-term agreements or contracts.
2. Third-party logistic provider (3PL): a service firm that is saddled with the responsibility of handling all of the logistics requirements for other companies.
3. Contract carriers: a transportation service provider that handles shipments for other firms based on long-term agreements or contracts. It is simply the opposite of common (public) carriers. Shipments from different local businesses may be combined by a contract carrier through the use of a consolidation warehouse.
4. Freight forwarder: an agent who serves as an intermediary between an organization shipping a product and the actual carrier, typically on international shipments. Thus, he or she is a middleman between the organization whose product is being shipped and the carrier company, especially for international freights.
How long must one wait (to the nearest year) for an initial investment of $1,000 to triple in value if the investment earns 8% compounded annually
Answer:
t = 14 years
Explanation:
The computation of the time period is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value ×(1 + rate of interest)^time period
$3,000 = $1,000 × (1 + 0.08)^time period
3 = 1.08^time period
Now multiply log to both sides
So,
lof(3) ÷ log(1.08) = t
t = 14 years
____ is a customer's subjective assessment of benefits relative to costs in determining the worth of a product.

The office supplies on Jan 1 was $7900
Supplies purchased during January was $3000
The supplies at hand in January Is $2500
$7900+$3000
= $10,900
= 10,900-2500
= 8,400
Hence the appropriate adjusting entry is $8400
Broker A is involved in an exclusive right to sell listing with his seller client, Seller S. After receiving the property condition disclosure form from Seller S, Mark hosts an open house to promote his new listing. At the open house a customer expresses concerns about radon levels in the area. Seller S did not indicate a radon problem on the property disclosure. What is Broker A's best course of action in this situation
Answer:
In such a scenario, it is recommended that Broker A should acknowledge the concerns of the customer because this is a material concern. They should then remind the customer that there exists a Property Disclosure Form which is made by the Seller that the customer is allowed to view to see if there is anything wrong with the house.
You as the broker, are acting on behalf of the seller so should not disclose any information than what is on the Property Disclosure Form.
If however, you know of a radon problem in the property in your personal capacity, the law requires that in the interest of safety, you reveal this to the customer if the seller did not disclose this in the form.

A lease agreement contains a clause that gives the tenant the right to purchase the property at a specified price. This type of agreement is called a
Answer: Finance Lease
Explanation:
There are two main types of leases which are operating leases and finance leases. Operating leases work much like an asset being rented so no ownership is passed from the person leasing to the leasee.
When it comes to finance leases however, the person leasing treats the asset as if it is their own. They record depreciation and list it as an asset in their balance sheets. At the end of the lease term, the leasee then has the option to purchase the asset.
A low-cost leader can translate its low-cost advantage over its rivals into superior profit performance by
Answer:
either using its low-cost edge to underprice competitors and attract price sensitive buyers in large enough numbers to increase total profits or refraining from price-cutting and using the low-cost advantage to earn a bigger profit margin on each unit sold.
Explanation:
Competitive advantage is the edge that a firm has over others in the same industry that results in higher profit margins for them.
One of the importance competitive advantages is price advantage.
This results from the firm being a low cost leader. Their cost of production is low enough for them to attract customers that are price sensitive leading to increased profits.
Also they can underprice their competitors or earn profit margins on the reduced cost of production per unit
Answer:
The low-cost leader can try to underprice the rest of the competition in order to attract more customers. Lower prices should increase total sales volume which will help to increase profits by offsetting fixed costs and increasing the total contribution margin. This strategy can be used as long as the firm is able to produce under economies of scale.
Explanation:
Maben Company was started on January 1, Year 1, and experienced the following events during its first year of operation: Acquired $30,000 cash from the issue of common stock. Borrowed $40,000 cash from National Bank. Earned cash revenues of $48,000 for performing services. Paid cash expenses of $25,000. Paid a $1,000 cash dividend to the stockholders. Acquired an additional $20,000 cash from the issue of common stock. Paid $10,000 cash to reduce the principal balance of the bank note. Paid $53,000 cash to purchase land.

Record the preceding transactions in the horizontal statements model. Also, in the Cash Flows column, classify the cash flows as operating activities (OA), investing activities (IA), or financing activities (FA).
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Note: See the attached excel file for the the horizontal statements in which the transactions are recorded.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Assets = Cash + Land = $49,000 + $53,000 = $102,000
Liabilities = Notes Payable = $30,000
Shareholders' Equity = Common Stock + Retained Earnings = $50,000 + $22,000 = $72,000
Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity = $30,000 + $72,000 = $102,000
Therefore, the accounting equation holds as follows:
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity = $102,000
Also note that no figure is recorded for "Determined that the market value of the land is $75,000" because it does affect the horizontal statement since an asset must be recorded at the historical cost.

Suppose the government decides that every family should own its own home. To bring this about, the government decides to subsidize the home-construction industry by giving the home-construction companies $10,000 for every house that they build. As a result of this,
Answer: the supply curve of new houses would shift rightward, since builders would be willing to produce and sell more houses at each given price.
Explanation:
Since the government decides to subsidize the home-construction industry by giving the home-construction companies $10,000 for every house that they build, then the supply curve of new houses would shift rightward, since builders would be willing to produce and sell more houses at each given price.
Builders will be willing to produce more houses because they'll intend to get the $10000 given by the government and this will be a source of motivation. Therefore, the supply curve will shift to the right.

A train traveling from State A to State B went off the tracks in State C, causing the death of 90 passengers on the train. The relatives of many of the deceased passengers filed a wrongful death action against the train company in the federal district court for State C seeking $100,000,000 in damages. The relatives currently are citizens of 15 states, including one who is a citizen of State D. Approximately 35 percent of all the relatives of deceased passengers are citizens of State A, more than any other state. The train company is incorporated and has its principal place of business in State D. The company operates trains in 46 states. Does the court have diversity jurisdiction to hear this claim
Answer: Yes, because more than 75 individuals died in a single accident, at least one plaintiff is not a citizen of State D, and the defendant resides in a state other than State C.
Explanation:
It should be noted that according to the Multiparty, Multiforum Trial Jurisdiction Act of 2002, in.a case whereby there's a civil action from a single accident, such that at least 75 people died in an accident, only one plaintiff is required to be of diverse citizenship in order for the court to have diversity jurisdiction.

Skipper’s Pet Products was started by Steve to sell a range of dog food and treats made from fish. Due to fish being a very perishable product, different methods are used to preserve the life and quality of the product. Arguably, the best method, albeit the most labour intensive and time-consuming, is to dry the fish over several days. This process maintains the nutritional content of the fish, which is often lost using other methods, and it is this that enables Skipper’s to offer a product with a clear USP.
The company is based in Steve’s hometown of Grimsby and he is proud of the local fishing heritage. The fish used in Skipper’s products is sourced from the docks in Grimsby or nearby Hull. Steve says the location of the business means that raw materials and qualified labour are easy to source.
Skipper’s Pet Products have lots of competition, but the competitors buy low quality fish
in China and cook the treats at high temperatures which removes some nutrients so they
are not high quality, healthy dog treats like Skipper’s treats.
The company website allows Skipper’s to sell their dog treats to customers all over the UK. The website sales are increasing each month and generate a larger profit margin than Skipper’s sales to pet shops.
question: Evaluate whether locating Skipper’s close to raw materials was the most important
factor Steve should have considered when choosing a location for his business.
You should use your knowledge of the business as well as the information provided
Answer: Yes it was
Explanation:
When considering where you should set up location, it is best to look at the cost of locating your business from various perspectives such as raw material acquisition, transport to suppliers, transport to customers and accessibility.
Depending on the business, some factors would have to be given more weight. In the above scenario, raw material acquisition and transport from suppliers should be given a higher weight because the goods are perishable and so costs would be high if the location is too far from the source of the fish.
Given that technology has made it easier to sell from many places, transport to customers is not as major a factor as transport to suppliers. The most important factor to focus on for this business therefore is raw material acquisition and by locating the company so close to the source, the cost to acquire the raw material from suppliers was heavily reduced so this was the best option.

Answer: excess supply of money that will result in an increase in spending
Explanation:
The money market refers to the total amount of money that's in circulation in an economy at a particular time.
If the money supply increases, this implies that there'll be more money available for the people in the economy to spend. This ultimately leads to the increase in the demand for goods and services in an economy.
Therefore, the correct option will be "excess supply of money that will result in an increase in spending".
