Answer:
Letter A. <u>Quality through constant innovation and quality assurance training.</u>
Explanation:
Alternative A is correct, as W. Edwards Deming was a pioneer scholar in the application of organizational quality management.
He was responsible for creating the 14 points, which are principles for management that will help the organization to achieve total quality. He was also responsible for popularizing the PDCA Cycle (PLAN, DO, CHECK, ACT), which is a strategic tool widely used worldwide to ensure continuous improvement and the quality of processes and products.
- PLAN: define objectives, methods and resources.
- DO: Perform, educate and train.
- CHECK: Measure and evaluate
- ACT: act correctly.
Continuous improvement can be achieved through the correct and targeted use of the PDCA cycle towards organizational objectives. For Deming, without continuous improvement, there is no survival of the organization in the market, so he argues that continuous improvement must be implemented in all phases of the project, to achieve the benefits of continuous improvement of processes, increased productivity and reduced costs.
Answer:
1. Sports Team Shirt - Excludable / Rivalrous
2. Air we breathe - Non - Excludable / Non - Rivalrous
3. Atlantic Bluefin Tuna - Non -Excludable / Rivalrous
4. A Toll Road - Excludable / Non - Rivalrous
Explanation:
A rivalrous good is one in which usage, by an individual limits the ability of another to use the same good. Rival goods are tangible. This means that they can be held or touched. Examples in this category are; A sports team shirt and, the Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna. Eating a Tuna would limit access to another person, who wants to eat Tuna at that point in time. The same would apply to wearing a sports shirt.
A Non - Rivalrous good is one in which usage by an individual does not limit consumption by another. Most non - tangible goods are non -
rivalrous. Examples in this category are; the air we breathe, and the Toll Road. Almost anyone can access these.
Excludable goods are only used after payment for them has been made. Examples are the Toll Road and the Sports Team Shirt.
Non - Excludable goods can be used even when payment has not been made. Examples are Air and The Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna which anyone can access.
Answer: $3.46
Explanation:
Given the following :
Current share price (P0) = $90 per share
Required return on stock= 8%
total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield ;
Therefore, Required return on stock= 8% ;
4% capital gain yield + 4% Dividend yield = 8%
Growth rate = 4% = 4/ 100 = 0.04
D1 = D0(1 + g)
D1 = value of next year's Dividend
D0 = current Dividend yield
g = Constant growth rate
D1 = current stock price * g
D1 = 90 * 0.04 = 3.6
D1 = D0(1 + g)
D0 = D1 / (1+g)
D0 = 3.6 / (1+ 0.04)
D0 = 3.6 / 1.04
D0 = $3.46
