False. cutting cost will move the business closer to having a competitive advantage but it is more involved then that. they also need something that sets them apart from the competition, something that the competition doesn't offer such as personalized service. a different product, or even a better atmosphere. they also need to stay focused on their costumer. can the costumer find a employee when they need help? is the layout of the store organized in a manner that makes sense? all of these factors go into competitive advantage

On November 1, 2016, Love Company places a new asset into service. The cost of the asset is $90,000 with an estimated 5-year lif
Alla [95]

Answer:

$16,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($90,000 - $10,000) ÷ (5 years)

= ($80,000) ÷ ( 5 years)  

= $16,000

We simply deduct the salvage value from the original cost and then divide it by its useful life. So, that the depreciation expense would come for the particular year

Now consider the case in which the manufacturer offers a marginal unit quantity discount for the plywood. The first 20,000 squar
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can use the following method to solve the given problem

We are given following

Annual demand,

D = 20000*12

D = 240,000 sqft

Fixed order cost, is given as

S = $ 400

Considering the unit cost, is given as

C = $ 1

Holding cost, H = 1*20% = $ 0.2

EOQ = sqrt(2DS/H)

= √(2*240000*400/0.2)

= 30,984 sq ft

This is higher than 20,000 and less than 40,000 sq ft. For this reason, the applicable price for this quantity is $ 0.98

For C = $ 0.98, holding cost, H = 0.98*20% = $ 0.196

Revised EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.196) = 31,298 sq ft

Total annual cost of EOQ policy = D*C + H*Q/2 + S*D/Q

= 240000*0.98 + 0.196*31298/2 + 400*240000/31298

= $ 241,334.5

Now consider the next level of price, C = $ 0.96

Holding cost, H = 0.96*20% = $ 0.192

EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.192)

= 31633 sqft

This amount is will not be feasible for this price, because it requires a minimum order of 40000 sqft.

Therefore, Q = 40,000

Total annual cost = 240000*0.96 + 0.192*40000/2 + 400*240000/40000

Total annual cost = $ 236,640

Total annual cost is lowest for order quantity of 40,000 sq ft.

1) Optimal lot size = 40,000 sq ft.

2) the annual cost of this policy

= $ 236,640

3) the cycle inventory of plywood at Prefab = Q/2 = 40000/2

At prefeb= 20,000 sq ft

4) let's assume the manufacturer sells all plywood at $ 0.96, then

Holding cost, H = 0.96*20%

H= $ 0.192

EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.192)

EOQ = 31633 sqft

Total annual cost = 240000*0.96 + 0.192*31633/2 + 400*240000/31633

Total annual cost = $ 236,471.6

Difference in total annual cost = 236640 - 236471.6 = $ 168.4

Which estimating technique uses a statistical relationship to calculate cost or duration based on historical data and other proj
VashaNatasha [74]

Parametric estimation is a  techniques that uses a statistical relationship to calculate cost or duration based on historical data and other project parameters

Parametric estimation is a quantitative method (statisitical relationship) used to estimate the project cost, resources, and duration based on historical data and other project parameters.

Parametric estimation models are used when:

  1. There is precedent
  2. The model is a unit hence can be scaled up
  3. The parameters required are easily quantifiable

While the other options of this question is incorrect because:

b. grass roots estimating

Cost estimation done by the individuals who will be performing the task being estimated.

c. empirical estimating

Estimation method in which the data is obtained using empirical formulas. It is usually based on an amalgamation of historical data, assumptions, guesses, and personal experience.  

d. analogous estimating

Also called top-down estimating, this is a technique that involves comparing previous projects, personal experiences and cursory cross-referencing observed costs to estimate time resources required. This technique is most useful in the absence of quantifiable data.
