Porter’s competitive strategies that are appropriate responses respectively

1) Differentiation 2) Focused-differentiation

3) Cost-leadership  4) Cost

<h3>What is porter’s competitive strategies ?</h3>

Using the constraints of its preferred market scope, a company attempts to gain a competitive edge according to Porter's generic tactics. There are three types of generic strategies: focused , differentiating, or lower cost.

One of two strategies for gaining a competitive edge is available to businesses: either decreasing costs in comparison to its rivals or differentiating along consumer dimensions in order to charge a higher price.

Additionally, a business chooses between two possibilities for its scope: focused (supplying its products to certain market segments) or industry-wide.

The decisions made in light of the kind and extent of competitive advantage are represented by the generic strategy. The concept was first presented by Michael Porter in 1980.

Georgia [21]

Prevention cost: This cost incurred so that the faults, or defects could be minimized as compare to before. It includes the machine maintenance expense i.e $3,000

Appraisal cost: This cost incurred specially to meet the quality of the customer expectations. It is a quality control cost. It includes the inspection cost of $15,000

Internal failure: This cost is occurred before delivery the product from the factory. It includes  Scrap and rework of $8,600 and Machine breakdown cost of $4,000  

External failure: This cost is occurred after delivery the product. It includes the warranty expense of $21,000, product return due to defects of $6,000 and Estimated lost sales due to poor quality of $5,000

b. Now the percentage is

= (Prevention and appraisal cost) ÷ (Sales revenue) × 100

= ($3,000 + $15,000) ÷ ($250,000) × 100

= 7.2%

c. The percentage is

= (Internal and external failures) ÷ (Sales revenue) × 100

= ($8,600 + $4,000 + $21,000 + $6,000 + $5,000) ÷ ($250,000) × 100

= 17.84%

melomori [17]

Answer:

Gain reported in 2019 is $200,000

Explanation:

The amount gained on Diamond's shares in 2017= (60-50)* 10,000= $100,000

Amount gained on Diamond's shares in 2018= (65-60)* 10,000= $50,000

Amount gained in 2019= (70-65)* 10,000= $50,000

So total gain reported in 2019= 100,000+ 50,000+ 50,000= $200,000

Zhang Industries sells a product for $700 per unit. Unit sales for May were 700 and each month's unit sales are expected to grow
ratelena [41]

Answer: $14594

Explanation:

The budgeted selling expense for the manager for the month ended June 30 will be calculated thus:

The unit sales for June will be:

= [700 × (1 + 3%)]

= 700 × (1 + 0.03)

= 700 × 1.03

= 721 units

Commission will be:

= 2% × (721 × 700)

= $10,094

Therefore, the selling expenses to be reported will be:

= $10,094 + $4500

= $14594

Accounts receivable  17,500     Interest payable             4,000

Total Assets             249,500    Liabilities + Equity    249,500

Explanation:

For the income statement we list the revenue and then, we subtract all the expenses account.

Retained Earnings will be beginning + income - dividends. This value will go into the balance sheet.

For the balance sheet, we display assets into both categories:

current: who are going to be converted into cash within a year.

and non-current like the truck and the land which are going to be in the company's book for more than a year before converting into cash.

Liabilities and equity will be in the other side and their sum should match the total assets.

borishaifa [10]

The expected quoted annual rate of return when the bonds are bought and being held until maturity will be calculated thus:

Coupon payment = 1000 × 13% = 130

The Yield to Maturity formula will be:

= Rate(maturity period, coupon payment, -price, fave value)

= Rate(16, 130, -1176, 1000)

Yield to Maturity = 10.66%

Therefore, the expected quoted annual rate of return is 10.66%.
