Coca-Cola acquired its bottlers and created a national vertically integrated business operation in 2010. After spending 12.3 billion USD to acquire Coca-Cola Enterprises, its largest bottling partner, it reversed course in 2015 and sold off all its bottling operations. This is an example of a <u>failed diversification effort</u>.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Diversification efforts are taken by the organizations to achieve desired outcomes but sometimes they fail in it. The following are the reason for failure of diversification effort:
- failing to integrate acquisitions
- unable to understand how the acquired organization’s assets would fit with their own lines of business
- paying high premium for the target's common stock
- not acting in best interest of shareholders
The diversification strategy is adopted by many organizations to develop its business. In the above scenario, Coca-Cola Enterprises adopted diversification effort but failed in it.
Answer: yes
Explanation:this is so because When a union wants to unionize a new group of employees, it must first convince at least 30% of the employees to sign authorization cards. If the union successfully does so, the union then submits the cards to the NLRB for certification. If the NLRB certifies that the union has secured cards from 30% of the employees, it orders that a secret ballot election be held where the employees vote on whether to unionize. Typically, about two months pass between the time the NLRB certifies the cards and the time that the election actually takes place. During these two months, the union and the employer actively campaign for or against unionization. At the election, if a majority of employees vote to unionize, then the NLRB recognizes the union as the sole bargaining representative of the employees. The employer is then required by statute to bargain in good faith with the union to negotiate the “first contract” between the employees and the employer. This employment contract determines the terms and conditions for all employees represented by the union.
Answer:
It is preferable to further process Product A.
Explanation:
Product should be processed further before sale if the net incremental benefits from further processing is positive.
The net incremental benefits from further processing is increase in revenue when further processed less further costs of processing.
Increase in revenue=$58,000-$40,000
=$18,000
Further processing costs=$15,000
Net incremental benefits=$18,000-$15,000
Net incremental benefits=$3,000
Since processing further brings a net benefit of $3,000, Product A should be further processed before being sold.
If the government spends more money, but doesn't increase taxes, they have to borrow money from other countries in order to spend it. If we borrow money from other countries, then our country owes their country. When we owe something, that is called debt.

Explanation:
Run A Duration B Duration C Duration 1 51 48 17 2 60 48 19 3 30 39 19 4 31 48 22 5 30 31 14 6 41 16 17 7 44 12 6 8 44 12 10 9 45 43 9 10 60 41 10 Based on the simulated numbers given above, what is the average completion time of the whole project?
Since B is the predecessor of C.
Project completion time for each run will be calculated as Maximum (Duration of A, Duration of B +Duration of C).
Represent
Run = R
Duration of A = DA
Duration of B = DB
Duration of C = DC
Project Completion time = PT
<u>R DA DB DC PT</u>
1 51 48 17 48 + 17 = 65
2 60 48 19 48 + 19 = 67
4 31 48 22 48 + 22 = 70
5 30 31 14 31 + 14 = 45
6 41 16 17 41
7 44 12 6 44
8 44 12 10 44
9 45 43 9 43 + 9 = 52
10 60 41 10 60
<u> Total = 546</u>
Total Project completion time in 10 Stimulations = 546
Average project Completion time = 546/10 = 54.6
Therefore, average Project completion time is between 53 and 56 days.
