Answer:

The benefits of Inventory Pooling includes:

  • centralizing inventory into fewer locations thus reducing safety stocks and the amount of inventory needed in the supply chain.
  • Pulling back inventory when firms have too much at retail level.

Explanation:

inventory pooling is an operational strategy used to increase efficiency in stock management and analysis.

It is a supply chain tool that consolidates multiple inventory locations into a single one.

It is a centralized system that helps with stock keeping. It makes projections easier and helps manage shortfalls that may arise due to demand uncertainty.

It is cost effective by reducing cost of employing more staff and reduces the percentage error due to the centralized portal.

By reducing operational costs, profit is maximized.

As long as a market is contestable, then even if it has only a few sellers, the Group of answer choices threat of new entrants w
Irina18 [472]

Answer: threat of new entrants will prevent the prices from rising above the competitive level.

Explanation:

A contestable market has competition such that sellers cannot unilaterally decide to sell at a certain price. They have to sell at a competitive price that is set by the market to ensure that goods are allocated efficiently.

If the prices attempt to rise above this competitive level, new sellers will enter the market so as to make a profit which would have the effect of driving the price back down to where it was and even lower if even more sellers come in. The price is therefore maintained to ensure that this does not happen.

A subsidy is when the government pays an individual or a firm directly or indirectly. It could be in the form of direct cash payment, tax breaks or grants. Subsidies are usually given to encourage the production of goods and services.

Subsidy on agricultural goods reduces the price paid for agricultural goods and increases supply of goods. It would increase the price earned by producers.

What is the intersection of the assessed probability and severity of a hazard called in the RM process?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

(1) Assessment

Explanation:

The intersection of the assessed probability and severity of a hazard in the risk management process is called 'risk assessment'

Risks are usually assessed in two broad areas namely: Probability of occurrence and Impact.

Probability of occurrence has to do with the degree of likelihood that a risk will materialize while 'impact' tries to access how much damage the risk is likely to cause, in the event that it materializes.

In summary, risk management usually views risk as a function of probability and impact.
