Answer:
reduces resistance.
Explanation:
The example above characterizes a statement of the benefits of the Hewlett-Packard printing system that helps to reduce resistance.
In the workplace, resistance to new systems, methods and processes can generate some resistance in employees, which can be caused by situations that seem negative or by insecurity of not knowing how to deal with new situations and methodologies. Resistance can culminate in a shift in focus, insecurity and conflicts, but it must be eliminated through communication, transparency, training and the explanation of the benefits of novelties that will occur in the organizational environment, as in the example above, which despite the HP printers cost a little more will produce superior quality documents, which is a reason for reduced resistance.
Which firm will have a higher level of economic performance: a) a firm with valuable, rare, and costly-to imitate resources and capabilities operating in a very attractive industry or b) a firm with valuable, rare, costly-to-imitate resources and capabilities operating in a very unattractive industry
Answer: a) a firm with valuable, rare, and costly-to imitate resources and capabilities operating in a very attractive industry.
Explanation:
Companies that have valuable, rare and costly to imitate resources and capabilities will see a better economic performance overall because they are offering the market something that not a lot of companies are offering which gives them the opportunity to increase profitability.
This would be even more effective if the company was in an attractive industry. An attractive industry means that there are a lot of buyers and sellers but because the company has costly to imitate resources, they will worry less about the sellers and gain more buyers thereby helping them to perform better.

Hudson Co. reports the contribution margin income statement for 2019. HUDSON CO. Contribution Margin Income Statement For Year Ended December 31, 2019 Sales (10,100 units at $300 each) $ 3,030,000 Variable costs (10,100 units at $240 each) 2,424,000 Contribution margin 606,000 Fixed costs 468,000 Pretax income $ 138,000 Exercise 18-17 Target income and margin of safety (in dollars) LO C2 1. Assume Hudson Co. has a target pretax income of $167,000 for 2020. What amount of sales (in dollars) is needed to produce this target income
Answer: $3,175,000
Explanation:
Sales in dollars needed to produce the target income is calculated by the formula:
= (Fixed assets + Target pretax income) / Contribution margin per unit * Selling price
Contribution margin per unit = Contribution margin / Units sold
= 606,000 / 10,100
= 60 units sold
Sales in dollars needed are:
= (468,000 + 167,000) /60 * 300
= $3,175,000

Consider a model in which two products, x and y, are produced. There are 30 pounds of material and 60 hours of labor available. It requires 9 pounds of material and 12 hours of labor to produce a unit of x, and 5 pounds of material and 15 hours of labor to produce a unit of y. The profit for x is $300 per unit, and the profit for y is $250 per unit.
Required:
How many units of x and y to produce to maximize profit, the model is
Answer:
2 units of x and 2 units of y
Explanation:
The model can be represented as:
[tex]\begin{array}{cccc} & {x} & {y} & {} & {Materials} & {9} & {5} & {30} & {Labor} & {12} & {15} & {60} & {} & {300} & {250} \ \end{array}[/tex]
So, we have:
Max [tex]z = 300x + 250y[/tex] --- the objective function
Subject to:
[tex]9x + 5y \le 30[/tex]
[tex]12x + 15y \le 60[/tex]
[tex]x,y > 0[/tex]
Multiply the first equation by 3
[tex]9x + 5y \le 30[/tex] becomes
[tex]27x + 15y \le 90[/tex]
Subtract [tex]12x + 15y \le 60[/tex] from [tex]27x + 15y \le 90[/tex]
[tex]27x - 12x + 15y - 15y \le 90 - 60[/tex]
[tex]15x \le 30[/tex]
Divide by 15
[tex]x \le 2[/tex]
Substitute 2 for x in [tex]9x + 5y \le 30[/tex]
[tex]9 * 2 + 5y \le 30[/tex]
[tex]18 + 5y \le 30[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]5y \le 30 - 18[/tex]
[tex]5y \le 12[/tex]
Divide by 5
[tex]y \le 2.4[/tex]
y must be an integer;
So:
[tex]y \le 2[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex](x,y) \le (2,2)[/tex]
Hence, the company must product 2 units of x and 2 units of y
Liz Chapa manages a portfolio of 250 common stocks. Her staff compiled the following rate of return performance statistics for two new stocks: Stock Mean Standard Deviation Salas Products, Inc. 15% 5% Hot Boards, Inc. 20% 5% What is the coefficient of variations for both stocks
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The coefficient of variations for both stocks will be calculated thus:
For Salas Product
Coefficient of Variation = Standard deviation / Mean × 100
= 5/15 × 100
= 1/3 × 100
= 33.33%
Hot boards:
Coefficient of Variation = Standard deviation / Mean × 100
= 5/20 × 100
= 1/4 × 100
= 25%
Carver Packing Company reports total contribution margin of $49,200 and pretax net income of $24,600 for the current month. In the next month, the company expects sales volume to increase by 8%. The degree of operating leverage and the expected percent change in income, respectively, are:
Answer: 2.0 and 16%
Explanation:
The degree of operating leverage and the expected percent change in income, will be calculated thus:
Operating leverage will be:
= Contribution margin / Net operating income
= 49200 / 24600
= 2
Then, percentage change in income will be:
= %change in sale × operating leverage
= 8% × 2
= 16%

COST OF PRODUCTION (5 pts each for a total of 25 pts) a. What is the relationship between the marginal cost of production and average total cost of production? b. What is efficient scale of production? c. Why is the average total cost curve (ATC) U-shaped in the short run? d. Why is the average total cost curve (ATC) U-shaped in the long run? e. What are the shapes of the average variable cost curve (AVC) and the average fixed cost curve (AFC)?
Answer:
a. When marginal cost is above average cost, average cost is rising; but when marginal cost is below average cost, average cost is falling.
b. The lowest point at which a plant or firm can produce such that the long-run average cost of the plant or firm is at the minimum.
c. The average total cost curve (ATC) U-shaped in the short run because of diminishing returns.
d. The average total cost curve (ATC) is U-shaped in the long run because economies of scale and diseconomies of scale.
e. The shape of the average variable cost curve (AVC) is usually U-shaped or upward-sloping; while the shape of the average fixed cost curve (AFC) is a Rectangular Hyperbola.
Explanation:
a. What is the relationship between the marginal cost of production and average total cost of production?
Marginal cost refers to the change in total cost when extra unit of output is produced, while average cost is the total cost divided by the number of units produced.
The relationship between the two is that when marginal cost is above average cost, average cost is rising; but when marginal cost is below average cost, average cost is falling.
b. What is efficient scale of production?
Efficient scale of production can be described as the lowest point at which a plant or firm can produce such that the long-run average cost of the plant or firm is at the minimum.
c. Why is the average total cost curve (ATC) U-shaped in the short run?
The average total cost curve (ATC) U-shaped in the short run because of diminishing returns.
Diminishing returns occur when the amount of a single factor of production is incrementally increased while holding all other factors of production constant, the marginal output of a production process decreases.
d. Why is the average total cost curve (ATC) U-shaped in the long run?
The average total cost curve (ATC) is U-shaped in the long run because economies of scale and diseconomies of scale.
Economies of scale can be described as a situation whereby increasing output leads to lower long-run average total costs.
But, after a given level of output, scale diseconomies may be encountered by a firm.
Diseconomies of scale can be described as a situation whereby increasing output leads to higher long-run average total costs.
e. What are the shapes of the average variable cost curve (AVC) and the average fixed cost curve (AFC)?
Note: See the attached photo for the curves of the AVC and AFC showing their shapes.
The shape of the average variable cost curve (AVC) is usually U-shaped or upward-sloping.
The shape of the average fixed cost curve (AFC) is a Rectangular Hyperbola. This occurs because the same amount of fixed cost is split by increasing output. Therefore, the AFC curve slopes downwards and is a rectangular hyperbola, meaning that the area under the curve is constant at all places.
The following units of an inventory item were available for sale during the year. Beginning inventory 10 units at $55 First purchase 25 units at $60 Second purchase 30 units at $65 Third purchase 15 units at $70 The firm uses the periodic inventory system. During the year, 60 units of the item were sold. The ending inventory cost using FIFO is
Answer:
$1,375
Explanation:
Given the information above, the Ending inventory = Units available - Units sold
Units available = 10 + 25 + 30 + 70 = 80
Units sold = 60
Ending inventory = 80 - 60
Ending inventory = 20
Cost of ending inventory under FIFO
= (15 × $70) + (20 - 15) × $65
= $1,050 + $325
= $1,375
Therefore, the ending inventory cost using FIFO is $1,375

A young investment manager tells his client that the probability of making a positive return with his suggested portfolio is 80%. If it is known that returns are normally distributed with a mean of 8%, what is the risk, measured by standard deviation, that this investment manager assumes in his calculation
Answer:
9.5%
Explanation:
we solve for the z value using
z = barX - μ/σ
= 0-0.08/σ
= p(x>0) = 0.80
1-0.80 = 0.20
0-0.08/σ = 0.20
using the z calculator we find the z score using a p value of 0.20
= -0.842
0-0.08/σ = -0.842
-0.08 = -0.842σ
Divide through by -0.842
0.08/0.842 = σ
0.095 = σ
The risk measured by the standard deviation at 80%= 9.5%

Advertising expendituresFuelShipping chargesPayments for raw materialsWage paymentsSales taxesAll costs are variable in the long run because all costs can be changed by investment and planning. For instance, over the long term, the company could buy the leased office machinery and not have to pay rent on it thereby stopping that fixed cost.
Bond J has a coupon rate of 3 percent and Bond K has a coupon rate of 9 percent. Both bonds have 13 years to maturity, make semiannual payments, and have a YTM of 6 percent. a. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage price change of these bonds
Solution :
Given :
Coupon rate for Bond J = 3%
Coupon rate for Bond K = 9%
YTM = 6 %
Therefore,
The current price for Bond J = $ 718.54 =PV(6%/2,13x2,30/2,1000)x -1
The current price for Bond K = $ 1281.46 =PV(6%/2,13x2,90/2,1000)x -1
If the interest rate by 2%,
Bond J = $ 583.42 = -18.80% (change in bond price)
Bond K = $ 1083.32 = -15.46% (change in bond price)
Bonds A, B, and C all have a maturity of 15 years and a yield to maturity of 9%. Bond A's price exceeds its par value, Bond B's price equals its par value, and Bond C's price is less than its par value. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a) Bond A has the most interest rate risk.
b) If the yield to maturity on the three bonds remains constant, the prices of the three bonds will remain the same over the next year.
c) If the yield to maturity on each bond increases to 8%, the prices of all three bonds will decline.
d) Bond C sells at a premium over its par value.

Explanation:
Tyron is saving up money for a down payment on a motorcycle. He currently has $2979, but knows he can get a loan at a lower interest rate if he can put down $3830. If he invests the $2979 in an account that earns 3.8% annually, compounded continuously, how long will it take Tyrion to accumulate the $3830
Answer:
6.6 Years
Explanation:
Number of years = [tex]\frac{In(\frac{FV}{PV}) }{r}[/tex]
FV = future value
PV = present value
r = interest rate
[tex]\frac{In(\frac{3830}{2979}) }{0.038}[/tex] = 6.6 years
