Answer:
C. Process Innovation.
Explanation:
As Dr. Shetty is able to drive down the cost of complex medical procedures from $100,000 to $2,000 not by doing one big thing, but rather by doing a thousand small things. This approach focuses on driving down the cost of healthcare through process innovation. Process innovation is the mechanism when we implement a new or significantly improved manufacturing method with the help of a new technology in order to remain competitive and meet consumers demands at the same time. We try to solve an already existing issue or reforms an existed process in a different way to generate something with huge benefits, likewise, same is the case here with Dr. Shetty who has reduced the cost of healthcare quite significantly just by changing and improving his production methods.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
dirty price: 1,225.39
Explanation:
When we purchase the bond, we are paying the bond and the accrued interest
<em>bond price:</em> 1,000 x 120.59375/100 = 1,205.9375 = 1,205.94
accrued interest at purchase:
face value x bond coupon rate x time
1,000 par value x 6% x 59/(59+2+121) = 
1,000 x 0.06 x 59/182 = <em>19,45</em>
Total amount for the bonds: 1,205.94 + 19.45 = 1,225.39

Explanation:
On January we collect the 85,000 from revenues and the 12,00 form marketable securities.
Then, we add up each disbursement:
Materials 50000
Labor       30000
Overhead (net of depreciation) 19,500
Selling and administrative 15000
Total 114,500
Then we solve for the cash balance and get the blaance as it is higher than 20,000 we do not need financing
Then, this value is the beginning cash for February. As the ending balance is 14,000 we will take 6,000 financing to reach the bare minimum of 20,000
