Answer:

E- Business

Business to Business

Explanation:

As provided in the given instance the entire business is done online, all orders are processed online.

Further E- Business is the business that is solely or majorly done through internet, the orders are processed through internet and the customers get the product through internet.

Further, since ASI deals only with Amanda who takes the major goods from ASI and that is a old customer to ASI and uses the goods in her business.

Thus, she since does not consume the goods directly, like the chain of B2C. Also not like Business to Supplier as the supplier supplies goods further without any processing. But Amanda uses such goods as raw material for the goods she manufactures.

Thus, this is Business to Business.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

$71,000

Explanation:

The computation of operating income is shown below:-

Total costs if company bought = Cost of production × Outside supplier per unit) + (Fixed cost × Remaining percentage)

= (43,000 × $3.80) + ($68,000 × (100% - 30%))

= (43,000 × $3.80) + ($68,000 × 70%)

= $163,400 + $47,600

= $211,000

Loss in Income if part is bought = Total costs if company bought - Total costs originally

= $211,000 - $140,000

= $71,000

Therefore, Making profit will be more by $71,000 and for computing the Loss in Income if part is bought we simply applied the above formula.

The concept of risk and return is subjective for different people, as well as for corporations.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Risk and Return

1. Joe is an average investor. His financial advisor gave him options of investing in stock A, with a σ of 12%, and stock B, with a σ of 9%. Both stocks have the same expected return of 16%. Joe can pick only one stock and decides to invest in stock B.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

2. Marcie works for an educational technology firm that recently launched its employee stock option plan (ESOP). Marcie allocated all her investments in the ESOP.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

3. rin wants to invest in a hedge fund that has had a very strong performance track record. The hedge fund has given its investors a return of over 60% for the past five years. Although Erin is tempted to put her money in the fund, she decides to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund’s assets, because she is aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

Explanation:

1. Joe's decision to invest in stock B is a good financial decision.  Since both investments have the same returns, the decision on which investment to take shifts to the standard deviation of the returns, which specifies the variability of the returns.  Invariably, the investment with less standard deviation should win the vote.  Therefore, Joe's decision is a good financial decision because investment in B has a standard deviation of 9% unlike A's 12%.

2. Putting all eggs in one market as Marcie had done by allocating all her investments in the ESOP is not a good financial decision, theoretically.  It is always best to spread the risks, though higher-yielding investments (returns) bear higher risks.

3. The decision of Erin to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund's assets, despite its past performance is a good financial decision.  Due diligence reveals some behind-the-scene information that are instrumental in making sound business decisions.  Who are the present managers of the fund?  What systems are in place in the entity to guarantee similar future performance, all things being equal?  What market's sentiments and information are available for consideration?  These questions, and many others can be answered through a due diligence.  Surely, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."
