Answer:

2.49%

Explanation:

The period 't' between 2015 and 1885 is:

t = 2015 -1885 = 130\ years

The annual rate 'r' at which the original $0.02 value has been compounded over 130 years to reach a value of $0.49 is determined by:

0.49 = 0.02*(1+r)^{130}\\r=\sqrt[130]{24.5}-1\\ r=0.0249 = 2.49\%

The cost of​ first-class postage has experienced an annual increase of 2.49% over this period.

Answer:

(a)The implied cost of shortage per quart is = $4.75

(b) This could be viewed as reasonable figure, because is (approximately) equal to the loss per quart of strawberry.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Mean =μ = 40

Standard deviation =σ = 6

Excess cost= Ce =$0.35

The amount ordered =S₀= 49

Thus

Z =(49 -40)/6

=1.5

Now

From the Table Z, we have the service level which is,

P(X <49 ) = P(Z < 1.5)

= 0.9332

Since we know that,

Service level (SL) =Cs/Cs+Ce

So,

0,9332 =Cs/Cs+0.35

Thus

0.9332Cs + 0.35* 0.9332 =Cs

0.0668Cs =0.32662

Hence

Cs = $4.75

(a) The implied cost of shortage per quart is = $4.75

(b) Therefore,this could be regarded as reasonable figure, because is (approximately) equal to the loss per quart of strawberry.

How would you suggest that Alliant measure the effects of a diverse workforce?

Different background and more diversity can contribute for new strategies and innovation for the company. The effects of diversity can be directly quantified after hiring more diverse people into a determined sector and by comparing the profits before and after hiring. In other words, the UX of a product made by a company mostly with individuals from a social group A cannot easily design a product which a group B can identify themselves.

For example, the design of a woman intimate personal care products made exclusively by man might originate products which aren't that good as designed products made by a diverse group man and woman.

If a company ignored workforce diversity, how might it be affected?

The company can stuck into a non-creative solution and/or stays in sector without innovation. A company without innovation might be fragile to the competition companies.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The Sales will increase by $350,000 (2000,000 * 17.5%)

Explanation:

As we know that,

Self Supporting Growth Rate = Return on Equity * (1 - Payout Ratio) ...Eq1

Here

Payout ratio given is 50%

and

Return on Equity =  35% <u>(Step 1)</u>

By putting values in Eq1, we have:

Self Supporting Growth Rate = 35% * (1 - 50%)

Self Supporting Growth Rate = 17.5%

Which means that Sales will increase by $350,000 (2000,000 * 17.5%) which is 17.5%.

<u>Step 1: Find Return on Equity</u>

We know that:

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity ..............Eq2

As we are not given value of Net Income we can not calculate the value of return on equity. But there is another way that we can calculate by simply multiplying and dividing by sales on Left hand side of the Eq2 equation.

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity          * Sales / Sales

By rearranging, we have:

Return on Equity = Net Income / Sales  *   Sales / Equity

Now here,

Net Income / Sales  = Profit Margin

By putting this in the above equation, we have:

Return on Equity = Profit Margin  * Sales / Equity

Here

Profit Margin is 7% given in the question.

Sales were $2,000,000

And  

Equity is $400,000 <u>(Step 2)</u>

By putting values, we have:

Return on Equity = 7%  * $2,000,000 / $400,000

Return on Equity = <u>35%</u>

<u>Step 2. Find Equity</u>

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Here,

Assets are worth $1,400,000

Liabilities are standing at $1,000,000 which includes only current liabilities because company doesn't have any long term borrowings

By putting the values, we have:

Equity = $1,400,000 - $1,000,000 = <u>$400,000</u>

<u>Brother, don't forget to rate the answer.</u>
