To promote their greener practices, nearly 60 private-sector companies have partnered with the Tropical forest alliance which seeks to reduce the deforestation caused by the production of many consumer products that rely on palm oil, soy, tree pulp, and paper.

A public-private collaboration called the Tropical Forest Alliance 2020 (TFA 2020) works to address the factors that contribute to tropical deforestation by encouraging its members to adopt voluntary steps, both individually and collectively, to do so.

The World Economic Forum is the site of the Tropical Forest Alliance, a premier cooperation platform that unites parties with the aim of putting forward strategies to address deforestation caused by the production of agricultural products.

saul85 [17]

Answer:

The answer options to this question are as follows:

A. The resources of the company that are mobile

B. The capital raised by the company from its shareholders

C. The expertise acquired by the employees in the company

D. The headquarters owned by the company

The correct answer is C. The expertise acquired by the employees in the company

Explanation:

The resource-based vision of the company is useful in developing strategic for companies with a single business, but  also for diversified companies as it reveals how core competencies embedded in a company can help them exploit new product opportunities and  markets .

A competitive advantage is any characteristic of a company, country or person that differentiates it from others, placing it in a superior relative position to compete. That is, any attribute that makes it more competitive than the others.

The attributes that contribute to having a comparative advantage are innumerable. But we can cite as an example the advantageous access to natural resources (such as high-grade minerals or low-cost energy sources), highly skilled labor, geographic location or high barriers to entry, which can be enhanced if we have a product that is difficult to imitate or we have a great brand.

It has been considered that the main source of competitive advantage is derived from the experience effect which has its origin in the learning effect.

The experience effect causes the experience accumulated by the company to decrease in unit terms the real cost of the total added value of the company. The experience effect constitutes a strong barrier to entry for new competitors. The existence of this entry barrier represents a solid competitive advantage for the company that accumulates more experience effect.

1)Plantwide Overhead Rate = Total Estimated Overhead/ No of Machine Hours

Adding the Estimated Sub Totals we get

Total Estimated Overhead=$ 988,600  + $ 463,200  + $ 227,160

Total Estimated Overhead= $ 1678960

No of Machine Hours= 7860 (given)

A firm is deciding between two different sewing machines. Technology A has fixed costs of $500 and marginal costs of $50 whereas
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

A. 50 units

Explanation:

Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / (Selling price - Variable cost)

= $ 500 / ($ 60 - $ 50)

= $ 500/$10

= 50 units

The break-even point is derived by dividing the fixed costs of production by the price per unit - the variable costs of production. Break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the Income for the particular product
