Answer:

Yes, I agree

Explanation:

As managers in an organization, proper attention must be paid to the forces in the external environment because these forces are dynamic and business cannot exist without them hence must align with these changes inorder to be successful.

Some of theses forces have direct impact with an organization such as customer's reaction to a company's product, how well the company stays ahead of it's competitors , suppliers and creditors. External forces in the environment that have indirect impact to a company are compliance with local laws, socio cultural forces, religion etc.

Practical examples

• Customer's reaction to a product speaks to what measures are taken by a company to improving the quality of products produced and sold. Favourable reaction would make the company succeed while unfavourable reaction could mar the company's performance.

• Level of compliance with local laws is also an important force in the external environment that must be adhered to. If a company must succeed, it must comply with local laws and order, failure to do so could result to fine or expulsion from the community.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

B) the sale of goods to a customer.

Explanation:

When goods are sold to a customer, the cost of goods sold account is debited by the same value that the finished goods inventory is credited.

For example, suppose a company sells $1,000 worth of goods to a customer, and the sales price is $1,200. The customer pays by cash the full value of the goods. The journal entry would be:

Account                                    Debit           Credit

Cash                                         $1,200

Sales Revenue                                             $1,200

Cost of Goods Sold                $1,000

Finished Goods Inventory                           $1,000

A quality inspector for Alpha-Beta Co. is concerned about the quality of the batch of several thousand blank DVD disks which his
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

b. 16% defectives

Explanation:

Let the number of units shipped be N

Let the defect rate be y%

Cost of replacing defectives once shipped = (y/100)×N× 2.5  ........equation (1)

Cost of 100% inspection = N × 0.4 .........equation (2)

At the indifference point, both costs, that is the replacement cost and inspection cost are equal. Therefore, we make both equations (1) and (2) equal.

N × 0.4 = (y/100)×N× 2.5

100 × 0.4 = y ×2.5

y = 40/2.5 = 16

She is indifferent at 16% defectives

sergejj [24]

Answer:

These statements are correct:

  • It makes it easier to compare prices across Europe - the Euro is the common curriency across 19 countries, but prices in those countries are far from being the same. For example, Germany is a lot more expensive than Greece (although a lot wealthier too), and Greek people can easily find out that the same product in Germany costs more euros than in Greece.
  • It makes Europe an optimal currency area - in the Eurozone, economic efficiency is now higher because resources can be allocated across different countries thanks to the fact that prices can be compared in the region.
