Answer:
The Bullwhip Effect
Explanation:
Bullwhip effect is a phenomenon that occurs in an organisation's channel of distribution due to swings or erratic demands for products by customers. This erratic nature of demands will usually lead to forecasting inefficiencies especially in meeting the demands through the supply chain.
A sudden increase in demand could lead to production planning problems because there might not be enough inventory of materials on ground to meet the demand. Also, a sudden decrease in demand can bring the challenge of excess inventory of materials which may not be needed for production for a while.
One of the measures taken to manage this erratic nature of demands is to ensure that whatever the forecasts for demands is, safety stock must be included to the forecast level of demand so as to ensure that production planning is adequate and the demands are met as well.
Answer:
The share is worth $5.68 today.
Explanation:
The current price of the stock can be calculated using the DDM or dividend discount model. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.
The following is the formula for the price of the stock today,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + Terminal value / (1+r)^n
The terminal value is the cumulative value of all the future dividends calculated when the dividend growth becomes zero or constant. In case the dividend growth becomes constant, like in this case, the terminal value is calculated as follows,
Terminal value = Dn * (1+g) / r - g
Where,
- g is the Constant growth rate in dividends
So, the price of this stock today is,
P0 = 0.65 / (1+0.145) + 0.70 / (1+0.145)^2 + 0.75 / (1+0.145)^3 +
((0.75 * (1+0.02) / (0.145 - 0.02)) / (1+0.145)^3
P0 = $5.678 rounded off to $5.68
Answer: d. leaves the sender's control.
Explanation:
Under the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act(UETA), there are three conditions that must be met for an e-record to be considered sent and the relevant one here is that the e-record leaves the control of the sender.
It does this by entering into an information processing system that the sender does not control of.
The other requirements demand that the e-record be properly addressed to a system specified by the recipient and this system must be able to process said e-record.
Answer:
a) 46.7, 80 b) 20, 60 c) yes
Explanation:
a) % utilization= utilization/design capacity × 100
= 7/15 × 100
= 46.7%
% efficiency= efficiency/design capacity × 100
= 12/15 × 100
=80%
b) Utilization= 2/10 × 100 = 20%
Efficiency= 6/10 × 100= 60%
c) A system with higher efficiency ratios will always have higher utilization as these systems will have lesses number of failures
Answer:
$118,860
Explanation:
Gross Margin:
= Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold
= $290,000 - $100,000
= $190,000
Profit before tax:
= Gross Margin - Salaries - Insurance payment - Interest
= $190,000 - $12,000 - $3,600 - $4,600
= $169,800
Insurance payment: Only half of 2-year payment of 7,200 is relevant for this year.
Net Income:
= Profit before tax - Tax at 30%
= $169,800 - (30% × $169,800)
= $169,800 - $50,940
= $118,860
