if the locations are far from each other

Explanation:

A company may decide to take up such measures if

  1. <u>the sites where the products are sold are very far from each other</u> and the expenditure of distribution hampers profit.
  2. <u>if it is viable to put up small manufacturing and distribution centers</u>
  3. if <u>the different products of a firm require different sort of manufacturing </u>which is viable in different places and not in a centralized unit.

All of these stem from the logistic concern of the locations of operations being far enough from each other for these measures to come into play.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The probability that the project will finish in 16 months is 0.7.

Explanation:

From the data the mean time is given as  \mu=15

The variance is given as \sigma^2=4\\

So the standard deviation is \sigma=2\\

Now the X is given as 16 so

Calculating the z score as

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\z=\dfrac{16-15}{2}\\z=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5

So for the z score of 0.5 the probability is given in Excel as

=NORMSDIST(0.5)

=0.69 ≈0.7

So the probability that the project will finish in 16 months is 0.7.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

E) standard deviation of the company's common stock

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is dependent on cost of equity and cost of debt. Cost of Equity depends on company's beta (CAPM Model), growth rate of dividends (constant growth dividend discount model), so option A and C are not the answer. Cost of debt depends on coupon rate (for yield) as well as marginal tax rate (for post tax cost of debt) so option B and D are incorrect. So, answer is E. Standard deviation is the least probable factor that may cause change in WACC.

Prior to recording adjusting entries, the Office Supplies account had a $379 debit balance. A physical count of the supplies sho
White raven [17]

Answer:

Debit Supplies expenses for $275

Office supplies for $275

Explanation:

Before the adjusting entry, the following adjustment has to be made first:

Ending balance of supplies that has not been adjusted = $379

Physical ending balance = $104

Amount of used supplies during the period = $379 - $104 = $275

This $275 will be recorded as supplies expense. Therefore, the adjusting entry will be as follows:

<u>Particulars                                      Dr ($)                Cr ($)  </u>

Supplies expenses                        275

Office supplies                                                         275

<em><u>(To record the supplies expense for the period.)              </u></em>

The above entries will then reduce enduing balance of supplies from $379 to $104.

Which economic system has economic roles that are passed from generation to generation?
mylen [45]
The best answer would be: traditional economy (specifically, it's definitely neither market economy nor command economy - in those economies the family does not necessarily play a role in the chose of roles).

An example of such strict economic roles is ancient India - and the roles are called castes.
