Answer: 27.28 units

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that a company wants to determine its reorder point (R) and that demand is variable and they want to build a safety stock into R. We have also been given the information that the company wants to have a service level of 95 percent and that average daily demand is 8, lead time is 3 days and the standard deviation of demand during lead time is 2.

It should be noted that a service level of 95% will have a desired z score of 1.64. To get the desired value of R, we multiply the average daily demand by the number of the days in lead time and then add to the multiplication between the standard deviation during the lead time and the desired z score. Mathematically, this will be expressed as:

= (8 × 3) + (2 × 1.64)

= 24 + 3.28

= 27.28

Therefore, the desired value of R = 27.28 units

Answer: Option B

   

Explanation: An organisation can earn sustainable competitive advantage in the market only if they have some special assets or rights that they can use to attract the customer and maintain their base for a period of time.

Although, globalization has made the world a single market and every entity is now focusing on maximizing their consumer satisfaction by doing researches and setting benchmarks.

Hence as every second entity operating at a global level is doing the given activities therefore none of them can get competitive advantage.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

2-  A. Establish ground rules

3-  D. Top management’s requirements.

Explanation:

2- An effective team is a well-integrated team, where the flow of information occurs effectively and where each member feels equally respected and an important part of the team, being able to contribute with ideas and feedback.

Why is there an inherent conflict between planning and control uses of budgets?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The main conflict that results between planning and control use of budgets is that managers might place their own personal interests before the interests of the company. This might result in budgets that are easily achievable (resulting in bonuses) or shifting income from one period to another in order to achieve certain budgets that will result in bonuses.

I will use a real life example that happened to me to explain this. I worked as a B2B sales representative for a large corporation (we were only 2 B2B salespeople + 1 manager) and when sales were slowing down, upper management would set up bonuses for achieving certain sales goals. The problem was that intentionally certain large sales that required management's approval were delayed and total sales would fall. Then suddenly the bonus show sup and all the large sales were approved and in two weeks the sales goals were achieved. Since B2B sales are not about selling to a lot of customers, but instead selling to the right customers a lot of products, a couple of delayed big sales made a huge difference and a 1% bonus meant changing your old car for a new one.
