Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": resource immobility.

Explanation:

The concept of Resource Immobility states that if a resource is easy to obtain competitors are likely to imitate the firm's activities. Thus, those sources will not generate a competitive advantage. On the other hand, difficult to obtain resources make it hard for rival firms to replicate a company's operations providing them a long-lasting competitive advantage.

White raven [17]
<h2>Answer : Option A) 1 foot/second</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

If we consider that the plates are placed 2 ft apart and there has to be 1800 meals that needs to be delivered in an hour.

so if we multiply 2 ft and 1800 meals that is delivered in 1 hour,we get 2 X 1800 = 3600 meals in an hour.

If we try to accommodate the plates at each ft then there will be 3600 meals delivered in 1 hour.

we know that 1 hour has 3600 seconds in it.

So, here the distance is 1 ft, and speed has to be determined time is 1 hour = 3600 seconds

3600 meals / 3600  seconds = 1 foot per second.

OR 1800 meals set at 2 ft apart in 3600 seconds will give the speed of the belt as 1 foot per second.

(1 ft = speed X 1 hour)

<h2>so, the speed also will be 1 foot per second. </h2>

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

(a) $61.11

(b) $54.44

Explanation:

1)

Value of Stock = Benchmark price-sales ratio × Stock's sales

                          =  5.5 × 1,500,000

                         = $8,250,000

Thus,

Price of stock = Value of Stock ÷ shares outstanding

                       = 8,250,000 ÷ 135,000

                       = $61.11

Thus, I would pay $61.11 for the stock.

2)

Value of Stock = Benchmark price-sales ratio × Stock's sales

                          =  4.9 × 1,500,000

                         = $7,350,000

Thus,

Price of stock = Value of Stock ÷ shares outstanding

                       = $7,350,000 ÷ 135,000

                       = $54.44

Thus, I would pay $54.44 for the stock.

Assume a division of Hewlett-Packard currently makes 12,000 circuit boards per year used in producing diagnostic electronic inst
madam [21]

Answer:

The net benefit is -$26,000

Explanation:

Given the above information,

The total cost of manufacturing 12,000 circuit boards

= 12,000 × $34

= $408,000

Total purchase price

= 12,000 × $34

= $408,000

Fixed overhead cost applied

= 12,000 × $6

= $72,000

The rental income = $46,000

Outsourcing cost

= Total purchase price + Fixed overhead cost applied - Rental income

= $408,000 + $72,000 - $46,000

= $434,000

Therefore, Net benefit

= Total cost of manufacturing - Outsourcing cost

=$408,000 - $434,000

= -$26,000
