The SG&A Expense/Sales is the tertiary ratio that drives profitability.

<h3>What is SG&A Expense/Sales?</h3>

This refers to the everyday operating expenses of running a business that are not included in the production of goods or delivery of services.

As the SG&A includes rent, salaries, advertising, marketing expenses etc., it is the tertiary ratio that drives profitability.

Therefore, E is correct.

Reil [10]

Answer:

a. self-interested paper producers will not consider the full cost of the dioxin pollution they create.

Explanation:

Externality basically causes the market to produce a large amount or little amount of goods and service, thereby causing an inefficient distribution or allocation of resources.

Therefore, when the manufacturing or consumption of a particular product by the consumers leads to an additional cost for a third party, it is known as negative externality.

Hence, Dioxin emission that results from the production of paper is a good example of a negative externality because self-interested paper producers will not consider the full cost of the dioxin pollution they create.

Answer:

B) Limited partnership

Explanation:

Limited partnership is one where the partners involved are liable only to the extent to which they contributed to the partnership.

Also some partners only contribute financially. That means they shielded to the extent of their contribution.

In this type of partnership there is least possible regulatory controls, faster decision making, and ease of organisation because partners actually involved in running the business are few or only one person.

It also has the advantage of being a business in which the active partner will not be forced to pay off any business debts from their personal assets.

Parts and materials for skis made by Company C are supplied by two suppliers. Supplier A's materials make up 27% of what is u

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Supplier B more likely supplied the defective materials.

Explanation:

This exercise is solved in four steps:

1. Statistical events are defined:

A = (provider A)

B = (provider B)

D = defective materials

From the problem statement, 27% of the materials used by Company C are provided by supplier A. Therefore:

P (A) = 0.27.

The remaining 73% is provided by supplier B. Therefore:

P (B) = 0.73.

2. Conditional probabilities are established. In other words, what is the probability that the materials are defective? Remember that the "defect" is the condition that most interests the manager.

According to the example, 22% of materials from supplier A are defective. We can formalize this as follows:

P (D / A) = 0.22

On the other hand, 9% of supplier B materials are defective:

P (D / B) = 0.09

3. It will be determined what is the probability that each supplier has provided defective products by applying Bayes´ theorem.

3.1 The probability of this event will be found for supplier A:

The Bayes´ Theorem for this case is:

$P (A / D) = \frac{P(A) P(D/A)}{P(A) P(D/A) + P(B) P(D/B)}$

We replace with the data obtained in the previous points (1 and 2):

$P (A/D) = \frac{(0.27)(0.22)}{(0.27)(0.22)+(0.73)(0.09)}$

$P (A/D)= \frac{0.0594}{0.0594+0.0657}$

$P (A/D) = \frac{0.0594}{0.1251}$

P (A / D) = 0.474

That means that approximately 47.4% of defective materials come from supplier A.

3.2 The probability of this event for provider B will be found.

The Bayes´ Theorem for this case is:

$P (B/D) = \frac{P(B) P(D/B)}{P(A) P(D/A) + P(B) P(D/B)}$

We replace with the data obtained in the previous points (1 and 2):

$P (B/D) = \frac{(0.73)(0.09)}{(0.27)(0.22)+(0.73)(0.09)}$

$P (B/D)= \frac{0.0657}{0.0594+0.0657}$

$P (B/D) = \frac{0.0657}{0.1251}$

P (B / D) = 0.525

That means that approximately 52.5% of the defective materials come from supplier B.

4. Compare the conditional probabilities.

If we compare P (A / D) and P (B / D), we can see that the largest is P (B / D) (47.4 < 52.5). Therefore, supplier B is more likely to have supplied defective materials.
