Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": We request a brief extension to complete the report.

Explanation:

In business writing, it is important to provide messages with objectivity and clarity avoiding hidden verbs, redundancy, and exuberance which could distract the readers making them difficult to understand what is intended to be expressed.  

Besides, positive and courteous messages are necessary to avoid confusing readers while being polite. These messages do not use words such as <em>complaints, failed </em>or <em>criticism</em>. Thus, the segment:

<em>We request a brief extension to complete the report;</em>

is the most straight-forward sentence reflecting positive and courteous messages.

Block Island TV currently sells large televisions for $ 380. It has costs of $ 310. A competitor is bringing a new large televis
Fofino [41]

Answer:

$281.67

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Current selling price of large TV = $380

Cost of Large TV = $310

Selling price of new TV = $340

Increase in sales = 20% = 0.20

Current sales = $150,000

Now,

Expected sales after reducing the price = Current sales + Increase in sales

= 150,000 + ( 0.20 × 150,000 )

= 150,000 + 30,000

= 180,000

Target Operating income = ( $380 - $310 ) × current sales

= $70 × 150,000

= $10,500,000

New operating cost per unit

= Target Operating income ÷ Expected sales after reducing the price

= $10,500,000 ÷  180,000

or

New operating cost per unit = $58.33

Target Cost

= Price after reduction - New operating cost per unit

= $340 - $58.33

= $281.67

In 1 to 2 paragraphs, analyze how a person's ethics or values might affect his performance on the job.
defon

Answer:

Explanation:

This question puts together two different perspectives based on different goals and metrics: economics and ethics. In economics, self interest is the driving force and productivity is one of the metrics used by managers and shareholders in measuring their profit making. In ethics, doing good for people and creating social value is the goal. The results cannot be measured anymore in units of productivity.

Peter Drucker in his famous book "Management: tasks, responsibilities, practices" says : "To know what a business is we have to start with its purpose. Its purpose must lie outside of the business itself. In fact, it must lie in society since business enterprise is an organ of society. There is only one valid definition of business purpose: to create a customer." That means to create value for society and not to maximize the profit.

I shall add a recent message sent by Richard Branson - the creator of Virgin Group - in his book "Screw business as usual" : Doing good can help improve your prospects, your profits and your business; and it can change the world." But with a condition: in that firm to exist an organizational culture based on positive values and not on profit maximization. In conclusion, ethics may impact positively on performance if and only if there is a managerial philosophy based on ethics and not on profit maximization, and on value creation. In this well-defined context profit and profitability are consequences and not driving forces of the whole business.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

CPI in 2020 =142.7

CPI in 2019 = 100

Inflation rate = 42.7%

Explanation:

Inflation is the increase in the general price level. Inflation erodes the value of money.

Consumer Price Index(CPI ): This is the weighted average price of a basket of goods and services consumed by a typical consumer. It is used to measure the rate of inflation.

The increase in the CPI is taken to be the rate of inflation. For example, the CPI rose to 1.09 from 1.00, this implies an inflation rate of 9% within the time period in focus.

The CPI =

The price of a basket of goods in a current  year ÷ Divided by the price of a basket of goods in  a base year

The consumer price

Value of basket of goods in 2019 = (1000× $2)  + (100× $50) + ( 500× $0.10)= 7050

Value of basket of goods in 2020= (1000× $2.50)  + (100× $75) + ( 500× $$0.12)=10,060

CPI in 2020 = 10,060/7050× 100 =142.7

CPI in 2019 = 100

CPI in 2020 =142.7

CPI in 2019 = 100

The inflation rate =(142.7/100-1 ) × 100 = 42.7%

Note , we assume the CPI for 2019 is 100, since we were not provided with data to compute the price of a basket of good in 2018

CPI in 2020 =142.7

CPI in 2019 = 100

Inflation rate = 42.7%
