Explain the three system inhibitors of waste, variability and inflexibility and how they can be inefficient to corporations.
Answer and Explanation:
Waste occurs when a company uses inputs that do not add value to their customers. In other words, something customers are not willing to pay for is classified as waste to the company.
Variability is predictability or unpredictability as regards the products of the company. This is what customers expect the products of the company to be like everytime they buy, a certain standard. Example when a customer buys food from a restaurant and expects it to taste the same everytime.
Inflexibility or rigidity occurs when a company isn't flexible enough to adapt easily to customer's expectations such as product mix, changes in demand of their products etc.
These three inhibitors if not handled properly will lead to bad resource management causing customer and employee dissatisfaction.
For a particular maximization problem, the payoff for best decision alternative is $15.7 million while the payoff for one of the other alternatives is $12.9 million. The regret associated with the alternate decision would be

c. $ .129 million
d. $ 15.7 million
Answer:
a. $ 2.8 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The regret associated with the alternate decision would be
Using this formula
Regret associate=Payoff for best decision alternative - Payoff for one of the other alternatives
Let plug in the formula
Regret associate= $15.7million - $12.9million
Regret associate= $2.8million
Therefore The regret associated with the alternate decision is $2.8million.
A portfolio with a level of systematic risk that is the same as that of the market has a beta that is equal to one. less than zero. equal to zero. less than the beta of the
Answer:
equal to one.
Explanation:
Systemic risk are risk that are inherent in the economy. They cannot be diversified away. They are also known as market risk. examples of this risk include recession, inflation, and high interest rates. Investors should seek compensation for systemic risk. Systemic risk is measured by beta. The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors
The market has a beta of one. If a portfolio has the same level of systematic risk that is the same as that of the market, its beta would be equal to 1.
If the portfolio is less risky than the market, its beta would be less than one
If the portfolio is more risky than the market, its beta would be greater than one
Molly, a Customer Service Representative for an insurance company, was rude to one of her customers. The customer immediately contacted Molly's supervisor and lodged a complaint against Molly. Molly's supervisor then reprimanded her and recorded the incident in her file. Molly has made a conscious effort ever since not to repeat the same mistake. Which of the following instructional strategies is illustrated in this scenario?
a. Reinforcement
b. Passive learning
c. Behavioral modeling
d. Overlearning
Answer: a. Reinforcement
Explanation:
Reinforcement is a method of correcting behavior by either positive methods or negative. Positive methods involve using a reward and negative involves using punishment.
This falls under negative reinforcement as it is a punishment. Molly was punished by her supervisor by her being reprimanded and the incident being put on her file. It led to her being more conscious of the event in future which meant that the reinforcement corrected her behavior.
Your company expects to receive CAD 1,200,000 in 90 days. The 90 day forward rate for CAD is $0.80 and the current spot rate is $0.75. If you use a forward hedge, estimate the cost of hedging the receivable if, 90 days later, the spot rate for CAD 90 days later turns out to be $0.82.
a. $50,000
b. $50,000
c. $75,000
d. $75,000
Answer:
Cost of hedging = $24,000
Explanation:
cost of hedging = 1,200,000 * ($0.80 - $0.82) = 1,200,000 * $0.02 = -$24,000
Since the actual forward rate was higher than th eexpected forward rte, the coampny lost money by hedging the operation. The cost of hedging the operation was $24,000.

Suppose a company wants to structure its assets and liabilities such that its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk. To accomplish that objective, which of the following must the company do?
a. The duration of its liabilities must be longer than the duration of its assets.
b. The duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets.
c. The duration of its liabilities must be shorter than the duration of its assets.
Answer: b. The duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets
Explanation:
Since the company wants to structure its assets and liabilities such that its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk, then the duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets.
It should be noted that when the duration of its liabilities is shorter than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is positive and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of assets will be affected more.
When duration of its liabilities is longer than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is negative and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of liabilities will be affected more.
Finally, when the duration of its liabilities is equal the duration of its assets, its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk.

PH produces many electronics products for the USA, Europe, and the UK. The plugs required for each of these geographical areas are different, so originally PH had produced three different versions of each product. Recently, they decided to create one version, and then ship these with three different plugs (i.e., of which two are redundant for the customer). The demands for a particular item for each market are normally distributed with the following parameters: USA – average of 10,000 with a standard deviation of 1,000, Europe – average of 5,000 with a standard deviation of 1,000, and the UK – average of 5,000 with a standard deviation of 500. If PH wants a 90% service level, then how much should their safety stock be according to the new system with one version?
A: Approximately 1,900
B: Approximately 2,500
C: Approximately 3,200
D: Approximately 5,750
Answer:
safety stock=1900
Explanation:
Formula used:
Safety stock= Normsinv(service level) x standard deviation of demand
Solution:
On calculating standard deviation of combined demand using high school maths
standard deviation =[tex]\sqrt{1000^2+1000^2+500^2}[/tex]
Here on calculating the safety stock
Safety stock = Normsinv(0.90)x [tex]\sqrt{1000^2+1000^2+500^2}[/tex]
On simplifying,
Safety stock = 1922
Therefore,
The answer is 1900 units
Option is the correct answer
A. approximately 1900
The difference in the answer may be due to the rounding of standard normal deviation

Song, Inc., uses the high-low method to analyze cost behavior. The company observed that at 22,000 machine hours of activity, total maintenance costs averaged $33.40 per hour. When activity jumped to 25,000 machine hours, which was still within the relevant range, the average total cost per machine hour was $30.40. On the basis of this information, the fixed cost was:
Answer:
$550,000
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost is shown below:
But before that the variable cost per hour is
= (25,000 ×$30.40 - 22,000 × $33.40) ÷ (25,000 - 22,000)
= ($760,000 - $734,800) ÷ (3,000)
= $8.4
Now the fixed cost is
= $760,000 - (25,000 × $8.4)
= $550,000

Brit wants to sell throw blankets for the holiday season at a local flea market. Brit purchases the throws for $15, and sells them to his customers for $35. The rental space is fixed fee of $1500 for the season. Assume there is no leftover value for unsold units. The payoff, if he orders 200 and Demand is 150, is:__________a. 2800. b. 1050. c. 50. d. 800.
Answer:
Correct option is b. 1050.
Explanation:
Note: There is an error in this question as the number of unit of order is 180 NOT 200 erroneously included in the question. The question is therefore fixed and the complete correct question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Brit wants to sell throw blankets for the holiday season at a local flea market. Brit purchases the throws for $15, and sells them to his customers for $35. The rental space is fixed fee of $1500 for the season. Assume there is no leftover value for unsold units. The payoff, if he orders 180 and Demand is 150, is:__________a. 2800. b. 1050. c. 50. d. 800.
The explanation of the order is now provided as follows:
Total revenue = Demand * Selling price = 150 * $35 = $5,250
Cost of purchases = Order * Cost per unit = 180 * $15 = $2,700
Since it is assumed that there is no leftover value for unsold units, this implies that:
Payoff = Total revenue - Cost of purchases - Fixed fee for rental space = $5,250 - $2,700 - $1,500 = $1,050
This implies that the payoff is $1,050. Therefore, correct option is b. 1050.

Gabbe Industries is a division of a major corporation. Last year the division had total sales of $32,948,550, net operating income of $4,069,146, and average operating assets of $9,027,000. The company's minimum required rate of return is 22%.
Required:
a. What is the division's margin? (Round your percentage answer to 2 decimal places.)
b. What is the division's turnover? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. What is the division's return on investment (ROI)? (Round percentage your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. Division's margin = Net operating income / Total sales
Division's margin = $4,069,146 / $32,948,550
Division's margin = 0.1235000
Division's margin = 12.35%
b. Division's turnover = Total sales / Average operating assets
Division's turnover = $32,948,550 / $9,027,000
Division's turnover = 3.65 times
c. Division's return on investment = Division margin * Division turnover
Division's return on investment = 12.35% * 3.65 times
Division's return on investment = 45.08%
January 400 $ 31,000 February 800 $ 37,000 March 1,600 $ 49,000 April 2,400 $ 61,000 Using the high-low method, the estimated total fixed cost is
Answer:
$25,000
Explanation:
The computation of the estimated total fixed cost is shown below:
But before that the variable cost per unit is
= ($61,000 - $31,000) ÷ (2,400 - 400)
= $30,000 ÷ 2,000
= $15
Now the estimated fixed cost is
= $61,000 - $15 × 2,400
= $61,000 - $36,000
= $25,000

A company purchased factory equipment for $350,000. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $35,000 salvage value at the end of its estimated 5-year useful life. If the company uses the double-declining-balance method of depreciation, the amount of annual depreciation recorded for the second year after purchase would be:_________ a. $140,000 b. $84,000. c. $126,000 d. $75,600
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $126,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $350,000
Useful life= 5 years
Salvage value= $35,000
To calculate the annual depreciation under the double-declining balance, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Annual depreciation= 2*[(350,000 - 35,000) / 5]
Annual depreciation= $126,000

Warren Enterprises expects 20,000 unit sales, has ordering costs of $20 per order, carrying costs of $1.00 per unit, and desires to keep 100 units in safety stock. Assuming level production, what should be their average inventory? a. 200-300 b. 301-400 c. 401-500 d. 501-600
Answer:
Option d (501-600) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Given:
Unit sales,
= 20,000
Ordering costs,
= $20
Carrying costs,
= $1
Safety stocks,
= 100
Now,
The EOQ will be:
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times Unit \ sales\times Ordering costs}{Carrying \ costs} }[/tex]
By putting the values, we get
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times 20000\times 20}{1} }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{800000}[/tex]
= [tex]894.43 \ units[/tex]
hence,
The average inventory will be:
= [tex][Safety \ stock +(\frac{EOQ}{2} )][/tex]
= [tex][100+(\frac{894.43}{2} )][/tex]
= [tex][100+447.21][/tex]
= [tex]547.21[/tex] (lies between 501-600)
Thus the above is the correct response.
Networked organizations are so closely linked online that each can find out what the others are doing instantaneously, as an event takes place. These organizations operate
Answer: b. in real time
Explanation:
When something is said to operate in real time, it means that is is happening instantaneously. Networked organizations that are so closely linked that their actions are seen instantaneously are therefore operating in real time.
These organizations can be in multiple countries but doing work on a similar platform. For instance, people around the world could be working on a single Go-0gle Sheets file and seeing the changes they all make in real time.
Networked organizations are so closely linked online that each can find out what the others are doing instantaneously, as an event takes place. These organizations operate in real-time. Hence option B is correct.
The key characteristic of networked organizations is their ability to access and exchange information rapidly, allowing them to respond quickly to changes and make informed decisions.
In networked organizations, individuals, teams, departments, or even entire organizations are connected through digital networks and communication platforms.
This enables them to share data, knowledge, and resources in real-time, fostering collaboration, coordination, and synergy among different entities.

ROI=[ ( $2.40 - $1.30) * 21,400 - $7,400]/100,000
ROI=($1.1 * 14,000)/100,000
ROI=$15,400/100,000
ROI=0.154*100
ROI=15.4%
Therefore the ROI would be 15.4%
You are considering a stock that is expected to pay dividends during the next five years of $0.50, $0,52, $0,54, $0,56 and $0.58. You estimate that you can sell the stock for $100 at the end of five years. Your required rate of return is 15% and the stock is currently selling for $65. If you purchase the stock, what rate of return do you expect to earn
Answer:
9.7%
Explanation:
The rate of return can be determined using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = -65
Cash flow in year 1 = $0.50
Cash flow in year 2 = $0.52
Cash flow in year 3 = $0.54
Cash flow in year 4 = $0.56
Cash flow in year 5 = $0.58 + $100
Rate of return = 9.7%
To find the rate of return using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
