Answer:
<u>Vertical Linkages </u>
Explanation:
A linkage refers to a connect between two parts. In the organizational context, it refers to communication and coherence between different departments and levels.
Vertical linkage refers to the chain of command and assignment of responsibilities by top level management, vertically downwards to the lower level or operational level management.
Such a chain serves as a mode of communication and as means coordination within an organization.
Activities are performed and tasks are executed by the lower level management, which are consistent and in alignment with the top level management goals. The employees at lower level update their progress to the top level w.r.t the extent goals and targets have been met.
An organization may create such linkages via rules of hierarchy, creation of levels or establishment of formal system of management.
So during adverse times, such a linkage helps since, everybody is aware in advance what they are supposed to do and there is no ambiguity.
Answer:
A. 5.56%
B. 13.55%
Explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the equity cost using the DCF method and the SML method
A. DCF approach
cost of equity =[ D0(1+growth )/ current price] +growth
= [.40 (1+.05) / 70 ] + .05
= [ .42 / 75] + .05
= .0056 +.05
= 0.0556 same as 5.56%
B)SML approach
Cost of equity = Rf +Beta (Rm-Rf)
= 5.8+ 1.25 (12 -5.8 )
= 5.8+ 1.25 *6.2
= 5.8 + 7.75
= 13.55%
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales in units:
January= 3,000
February= 2,000
March= 2,500
April= 2,700
May= 2,900
The required ending inventory is 20% of the next month's sales, and the beginning inventory on January 1 was 600 units.
The production budget for each month is calculated using the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production budget:
January:
Sales= 3,000
Ending inventory= (2,000*0.2)= 400
Beginning inventory= (600)
Total= 2,800
February:
Sales= 2,000
Ending inventory= (2,500*0.2)= 500
Beginning inventory= (400)
Total= 2,100
March:
Sales= 2,500
Ending inventory= (2,700*0.2)= 540
Beginning inventory= (500)
Total= 2,540
April:
Sales= 2,700
Ending inventory= (2,900*0.2)= 580
Beginning inventory= (540)
Total= 2,740
Answer:
B) The Supply of corn will decrease and the price of corn will rise.
Explanation:
Option B is correct because the drought has damaged the corn crops. Therefore, this will affect the supply of corn in the market. Moreover, the damage of corn crops will shift the supply curve leftwards and this shift in the supply curve will push the prices upwards. Thus, the damage of corn crops will increase the prices due to a decrease in its supply.
Business wise you’d keep covering it up, morally you’d expose the truth and stop it. Although you could anonymously release it to the press without any traces it came from you.
