Robbie roberts, owner of cupamoe's coffee, is trying to determine where to locate his newest distribution warehouse. robbie wo
uld like to locate the warehouse to minimize transportation costs and provide the best overall delivery speed to his three markets. consider the warehouse location decision facing cupamoe's.
1a) We need to find the total population as well as the population in each town. First, Capital City's population is going to increase by 5% and its population now is 400000. 5%*400000=20000 people and that is the increase in people. Thus, in total there are 420000 people in Capital City. Springfield also has an increase by 50000 people, so its new population is 250000 people.
Now, the total of all the people in the 3 towns is: 420k+250k+170k=840k people. The weight of each city is the fraction of its people over the total population. Hence, we get for the weights: Capital City: Wc=420/840=1/2 Springfield: Ws=250/840=0.30 Shelbyville: Wb=170/840=0.20 All weights add up to 1, as they should.
Now, in order to calculate the new position, we need to take the sum of the coordinates, by applying the weights. The formula is: Wc*(Xc, Yc)+Ws*(Xs,Ys)+Wb*(Xb, Yb) where the x and y denote the corresponding coordinates. Substituting: 0.5*(1,5)+0.3(4.5, 3)+0.2(4,1)=(0.5,2.5)+(1.35, 0.9)+(0.8, 0.2)=(2.65,3.6) by adding coordinate-wise.
1b) We now have to do weights given the sales. Using the same methodology, the total sales are: 800000+150000+150000=1100000$. Hence, calculating the weights we get: Wc=800000/1100000=0.727 Ws=150000/1100000=0.136 Wb=150000/1100000=0.136 The weights do not add up to 1, due to some rounding errors but that is ok.
Applying the same formula as above: 0.727(1,5)+0.136(4.5,3)+0.136(4,1)= (0.727, 3.635) + ( 0.612,0.408)+(0.544,0.136)=(1.883, 4.179). With rounding this yields that our point is (1.88, 4.18). It is important to note that since the weight for Capital City is larger, the end-point is closer to it; hence we have that the y-value is higher than our previous calculation and the x-value is lower.
c) Population is not always a good indicator of sales; it might be that the population does not have a good buying power or regional features might make your product less appealing to a large part of the population (for example Muslim people do not eat pork). On the other hand, sales correlate with products sold since the unit price of the product is relatively constant, so one can estimate the approximate amount of units sold in each town. Hence, the correct response is A.
Answer:rise for union jobs and fall for nonunion jobs
Explanation:
Union jobs are the jobs where there is an organization that act as an intermediary between its members and the employer who hires them in order to negotiate for better working environment , better wages and other benefits through collectively bargain.
Due to this collective bargaining usually the wages are high for Union jobs.
Nonunion jobs each worker represent themselves without any collective voice to bargain for better situations at their respective working environment which usually fails.
c. is the social glue that binds members of the organization together.
e. helps employees understand why the organization does what it does.
d. is passed on to new employees through socialization and mentoring.
b. significantly affects work outcomes at all levels of the organization.
f. represents beliefs and values shared among workers.
Explanation:
The organization culture is the set of the values and the beliefs that makes an organization unique and their expectations, philosophies.
And the experiences that guide the behavior and the inner working and the interactions of the with the outside world and helps the employees to understand and socialize the values in the organization.
