Answer: D. All of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

Lean manufacturing occurs when an organisation produces goods using as little resources as they can, while still producing enough goods at the correct quality.

This includes all options (a-c) for the following reasons:

a. Supplier partnering - it is important to have a smooth operations in terms of the organisation's relationships with their partners. This leads to an efficient supply management because this leads to better control over the flow of material and production planning, especially when the aim is to use minimal resourses.

b. Employee involvement - in lean manufacturing, less human effort is required. However high quality goods at the right quanity still needs to be produced.Therefore it is important for the little employees needed, to work cohesively to produce these goods effectively and efficiently.

c. Product orientated production layout - Also known as assembly line, this is when employees perfom minimal functions at a time, to produce large quantities of a few types of products that are different.

So for lean manufacturing to be implemented and operate effectively, it requires all these options.

A company looking to expand internationally with little risk would choose?
leva [86]

Answer:

  • Licensing
  • Franchising

Explanation:

There are no options but Licensing as well as Franchising are some of the least riskiest ways to expand internationally.

With Licensing, the company looking to expand simply sells licenses to various companies in different countries giving them the right to use their image. Basically, the company the license is sold to gets access to the seller's intellectual property but then can run their business with a significant degree of autonomy.

Franchising represents another way to expand with little risk. It involves a company giving a license to another company to sell and sometimes produce their products as well as image rights. The company will give the franchisee (company that gets the license) the knowledge and training required to maintain the franchise and in exchange, franchisee pays a fee.

Both of these methods ensure that the name and brand of a company spread internationally whilst making money from it. Risk is minimized because the investment in other countries is low to nothing.

CAPM and Valuation. You are considering acquiring a firm that you believe can generate expected cash flows of $10,000 a year for
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The value of the firm or worth of the firm is $147058.82 rounded off to 2 decimal places

Explanation:

We first need to calculate the required rate of return for this firm that will be used as the discount rate in the valuation of the firm using the discounted cash flow methods.

Using the CAPM we can calculate the required rate of return as,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rM is the return on Market

So,

r = 0.04 + 0.4 * (0.11 - 0.04)

r = 0.068 or 6.8%

As the cash flows the firm can generate are expected to remain constant through out and they are generated after equal interval of time, this can be treated as a perpetuity.

The present value of a perpetuity is calculated as follows,

Present Value of perpetuity = Cash Flow / r

Present value of perpetuity = 10000 / 0.068

Present value of perpetuity = $147058.8235

So, the value of the firm or worth of the firm is $147058.82 rounded off to 2 decimal places

lord [1]
<span>The success of the glucose-averse cockroaches in their new environment depends on the future use of glucose-baited poison in the apartment. If glucose-baited poison is not used, it is likely that the resident cockroaches will outcompete the new cockroaches, as the resident cockroaches will not exclude glucose-containing foods from their diet. However, the use of glucose-containing poison in the apartment will provide the new cockroaches a distinct selective advantage, as they will survive to reproduce, whereas the majority of the resident cockroaches will die.</span>
