Devonshire Ventures is a large snack-food conglomerate that operates in more than 50 countries and employs more than 80,000 peop

le across the world. It operates through multiple regional product divisions, which tend to function as autonomous profit-and-loss centers. This allows the company to reap significant economies of scale. Though each division acts as an autonomous firm with its individual regional leaders, frequent sharing of knowledge between the divisions allows for global learning. These factors help the company reconcile product and service differentiations at low cost. Which of the following strategies does Devonshire most likely use?
A) an international strategy
B) a focused-differentiation strategy
C) a multidomestic strategy
D) a transnational strategy

Answer:

D) a transnational strategy

Explanation:

From the description, Devonshire Ventures seems to be seeking a balance between local responsiveness and global integration hence said to use a transnational strategy. Another reason is because their operations and communication are between borders and beyond geographical boundaries so that each division can learn from each other globally.

Why would a free market never operate at a quantity greater than the equilibrium quantity? Hint: What would be required for a tr
Volgvan

Answer:

This is because in a free market, the prices of goods and services are determined by market forces, and the price mechanism will always keep the market at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The free market is a market without government intervention, equilibrium price and quantity are determined by the interaction of the market forces, also called price mechanism , which Adams Smith referred to as the invisible hands in the market.

The free market cannot operate outside the equilibrium because, the market forces will always keep the market towards equilibrium. Even if equilibrium is distorted, as a result of any shock, the market forces will bring the market towards equilibrium all things being equal, except there is market failure.

a free market is a market in which prices of goods and services are set by demand and supply and are allowed to reach their point of equilibrium without government intervention

Re-write the Question for Easier Understanding

Purchasing   Maintenance   Fabrication  Assembly

$32,000        $18,0000         $96,000       $62,0000

 (No of Purchase Orders)     16                     4

 (Sq Foot of Space)                  3,300               2,700

Find:

Amount of Purchasing Department Expense to be allocated to Assembly.

  • The Question clearly states that Purchasing Department's expenses are allocaated based on the Operating Department's Purchase Order
  • Since total Purchase Order is 20 and Assembly's purchase order is 4
  • Assembly's allocation of Purchasing Expense= Assembly's Purchase Order/ Total Purchase Order × Purchase Department Expense

=Total Purchase Order= Fabrication (16) + Assembly (4)= 20

=Purchase Order for Assemby= 4

=Purchasing Department Expense= $32,000

  • =(4/20)× $32,000
  • =0.2 × $32,000
  • = $6,400
