Answer: C. Use buffer stocks to ensure speedy supply.

Explanation: All options except the use of buffer stocks to ensure speedy supply are included in the differentiation strategy decisions. A differentiation strategy is one of the ways a business distinguishes itself from competition and is defined as the approach in development of new products that a firm employs in order to offer unique products that customers will find superior to others in the market. It is important because it allows businesses not just to distinguish themselves from competition, but to also emphasize the unique aspects that make its product superior, accelerating visibility and perceived expertise, that results in better growth and profitability.

Answer: Using buffer stocks to ensure speedy supply.

Explanation:

Differentiation is a strategy that is used to differentiate a good or service from other products that are similar which are offered by competitors. It is the development of a good or service, that is unique and stands out for the customers, in terms of features, product design, quality, brand image, or customer service.

Modular design to differentiate a product, collating market research data and minimizing inventory are all product differentiation strategies.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Productivity is measured by the amount of output per unit of input.

In this case, the inputs will be the hours spent doing research and writing their essays. Output will equal the amount of pages written.

Marci spent 8 hours and wrote a 26 page long report, so her productivity = 26 pages / 8 hours = 3.25 pages per hour

Jack spent 20 hours and wrote a 26 page long report, so his productivity = 26 pages / 20 hours = 1.3 pages per hour

Marci is much more productive in terms of hours spent doing and writing, and how long the report is.

The problem with this type of analysis is that we do not know if Marci's report was good or bad, and the same applies to Jack's. Since we do not know what grade they got, we cannot be sure how effective their work was.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

The bonds were issued at $220,879,628.13

This is lower than the face value to compensate for the lower coupon payment.

cash               220,879,628.13   debit

discount on BP  39,120,371.87   debit

   bonds payable      260,000,000 credit

--to record the issuance of the bonds--

Interest expense 13,252,777.69 debit

Discoun on BP               252,777.69 credit

 cash          13,000,000      credit

--to record the first interest payment--

Interest expense 13,267,944.35 debit

        Discount on BP                267,944.35 credit

 Cash          13,000,000     credit

--to record second interest payment--

Interest expense 13,539,156.67 debit

Discount on BP              539,156.67 credit

cash                   13,000,000.00 credit

--to record Dec 31st, 2025 payment--

Explanation:

To determinate the price we will solve for the present value of the coupon payment and maturity at the market rate of %12

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

Coupon payment:

260,000,000 x 10% x 1/2 =13,000,000.000

time 20 years x 2 payment per year 40

yield to maturity  12% / 2 = 6%

13000000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-40} }{0.06} = PV\\

PV $195,601,859.3298

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   260,000,000.00

time   40.00

rate  0.06

\frac{260000000}{(1 + 0.06)^{40} } = PV  

PV   25,277,768.80

PV c $195,601,859.3298

PV m  $25,277,768.8042

Total $220,879,628.1340

For the journal entries, we will multiply this current market price of the bonds by the market rate (YTM) the difference between this and the actual cash obligation generate by the bond is the amortization of the discount.

<u>first interest payment </u>

$220,879,628.13 x 6% = 13,252,777.69

less actual cash outlay:  13,000,000

amortization                          252,777.69

<u>second interest payment</u>

($220,879,628.13- $252,777.69) x 6% = 13,267,944.35

less actual cash outlay:                      <u>     13,000,000.00</u>

amortization                                                   267,944.35
