Answer:

b) overall low-cost leadership

Explanation:

By Michael Porter, this is one of the <em>generic strategies</em>. This strategy implies that the company is dominating the market by securing a low-cost approach across all channels (supplier side, customers, rivals). This is generally achieved by low operating costs and by the factors listed out in the example itself (influencing rivals and suppliers). This type of strategy puts a company ahead of most of its competitors.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

These two statements are correct:

A. Businesses and jobs rely most strongly on consumer demand.

B.Government regulation is necessary to stabilize the economy.

Explanation:

The first statement is correct because John Maynard Keynes that demand was the most important side of the economy, not supply. This is why his policies are sometimes referred to as "demand-side economics", while the policies of many of his detractors, such as Milton Friedman, are referred to as "supply-side economics".

The second statement is also correct because Keynes believed that a market economy was naturally subject to business cycles: cycles of boom and bust that could either benefit millions, or harm millions. Keynes thought that the government should regulate the economy in order to lessen the effect of those cycles.

Gnesinka [82]
The hotel's quick action in response to a serious situation was likely due to CYBER SECURITY BREACH. It is a threat not only to the customers but to the hotel business as well because with this breach, customers will find it hard to trust said hotel again. 

Because confidential data like credit card information were stolen, they need to immediately inform their customers to ensure that the customers will take the necessary steps in protecting themselves from having their identity stolen and from having their credit cards used in purchasing items they are not aware off.

ASHA 777 [7]

The adjustment for noncollectable accounts on December 31, 2018:

Debit Bad Debts Expense $13,800

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Account $13,800

Explanation:

In Pave Construction, 2018 is the first year of operations. The company provides services on account of $152,000.

By the end of 2018, cash collections on these accounts total $106,000.

At the end of 2018, Accounts Receivable (the uncollected accounts) has debit balance of $46,000 ($152,000 - $106,000 = $46,000)

Pave estimates that 30% of the uncollected accounts will be bad debts

Bad Debts Expense = 30% x $46,000 = $13,800

The adjusting entry to record the bad debts expense will be:

Debit Bad Debts Expense $13,800

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Account $13,800
