Answer:
D. dispersing its activities among various countries in a manner that lowers costs or else helps achieve greater product differentiation and transferring competitively valuable competencies and capabilities from its domestic operations to its operations in foreign markets
Explanation:
A key condition that makes a firm achieve competitive advantage or a favourable business position is it's costs and product design.
If a firm can lower it's cost in a foreign market while also maintaining quality just as it is has done in it's domestic market then it stands a better chance of success.
For example, if a firm in the clothing line industry decides to expand its operations to a foreign market eg Africa.
A key factor in determining its success is its ability to lower its cost in the foreign market as compared to competitors, while also achieving the same quality standards of products.
Answer:
Difference= $60,000 in favor of buying
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 12,000
Make in-house:
Direct material, $15
direct labor, $27
variable overhead, $15
applied fixed overhead, $32
Buy:
Buying price= $60
If Fischer buys the part, 75 percent of the applied fixed overhead would continue.
<u>First, we will calculate the avoidable fixed overhead per unit:</u>
Avoidable fixed overhead= 32*0.25= $8
<u>Now, the total differential cost of making in-house:</u>
<u></u>
Total cost of production= 12,000*(15 + 27 + 15 + 8)
Total cost of production= 12,000*65
Total cost of production= $780,000
Total cost of buying= 60*12,000= $720,000
Difference= $60,000 in favor of buying
Answer:
Option C, SAME WEIGHTS
Explanation:
A hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on something or someone.
Risk assessment is a framework that uses hazard category as a starting point for evaluating risks. Risk assessment can be used in any situation where death, system loss, or property, equipment or environmental damage is a concern.
Experts use different risk assessment methods and approaches. Technical experts assign same weights to different ways of dying so they assign equal weights to hazards that take many lives at one time and to hazards that many lives at once.
Therefore, the answer that best suits the question is option C. Experts tend to assign the SAME WEIGHTS to hazards that take many lives at once as they do to hazards that take many lives one at a time.
Answer:
Charles is classified in the adopter category called "Latecomers"
Explanation:
Latecomers are traditional consumers. For them, buying a new product brings a feeling of extreme psychological discomfort. They do not like news, even flee from it, and consider it immature to buy an innovative article in the market.
Latecomers represent 16% of consumers, are insecure to adopt new things, do not like to try new things and do not follow fads. Being traditionalists, they always perform the same way and only adopt innovation when there is no other alternative. Like Charles, who only bought the color TV because his old tv stopped working.
