Answer:
Risk Control
Explanation:
The statement, "You are more likely to control risks when they are identified earlier rather than later" is associated with the Risk Control Management principle.
Risk control is more effective when risk identification is undertaken early enough so that control measures are put in place to mitigate such risks, otherwise there will be a shift from 'risk control' to 'damage control' once any of those risks materializes.
Answer:
80000 unit of Alpha
Explanation:
This is a Limiting factor/resource constraint question. In certain situations entities suffer from shortage of necessary resources (e.g: shortage of material, labor hours, machine hours), in such circumstances entities strive to allocate the constraint resources to the production of those products which generate the highest contribution per limiting factor and help maximize total contribution. In this case the limiting factor for Cane is Raw material.
Lets suppose that each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta sell for $120 and $80</em> respectively and variable cost per unit of <em>Alpha and Beta is $69 and $20 </em>respectively. Each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta require 2 and 5 pounds</em> of raw material for production respectively.
Now that we have supposed the data we have to compute contribution per unit and then contribution per limiting factor and based on the ranking (i.e highest first) of contribution per limiting factor we decide which product should be given priority for resource allocation.
<em>Lets calculate contribution per unit.</em>
Alpha:
Contribution per unit= SP-VC
Where, SP stands for selling price and VC stands for variable cost.
CPU= 120-69
CPU=$51
Beta:
Contribution per unit= 80-40
CPU=$40
<em />
<em />
<em>Now, lets calculate contribution per limiting factor.</em>
Alpha:
CLF: $51÷2
CLF: $25.5 1st Rank
Beta:
CLF: $40÷5
CLF: $8 2nd Rank
So clearly Alpha has a greater contribution per limiting factor and it implies that Alpha will earn the highest contribution margin therefore Cane should produce and allocate resources to Alpha first and then Beta if there remains any?
Profit maximizing output:
It requires 2 pounds of raw material to produce one unit of Alpha (i.e 80000×2=160000) Therefore Cane should produce 80000 units of Alpha only in order to maximize its profits.
The answer is: a quality control manager who works in a busy restaurant
To be considered as a producer, we need to create some sorts of goods or services and exchange it with the customers in order to obtain some sort of financial gain. Quality control manager fall into this category because the manager created services in form of expertise in managing restaurants business in exchange for salaries.
Answer:
Katherine was lying and/or hiding something
Explanation:
Alisa most likely decoded Katherine's explanation in such a way that she believed Katherine was lying and/or hiding something. This is because based on psychological studies, individuals tend to state that they are "telling the truth" and yet still provide no actual proof when they are lying. In this scenario, Katherine simply states that she is "telling the truth" but has not shown Alisa any financial reports or other valuable data that proves that there was not enough funding, which would be easy to provide if they actually existed.
