The said scenario is an example of one performing a Root Cause Analysis. And this analysis requires five steps:1. Determine what is the problem. This process involves you to know what is the problem and the symptoms that the problem causes.2. Data-gathering. The next process requires you to find evidence that a problem is present. You should also know how long the problem has started and what is the effect of the problem.3. Determine potential factors causing the problem. This is where you should determine which events caused the problem. Furthermore, you have to figure out the conditions where the problem tends to happen. And you also need to identify whether there are other problems that cause, worsen, and intensify the main problem you're dealing with.4. Determine the root cause/s. This step will require you to analyze the problem, and determine the reason why the problem occurred, and the reason why it occurred.5. Provide the solution to the problem. From all the observation and analysis and determining the real cause of the problem, you now have to implement a solution for the problem. Provide ways on how you can avoid facing the same problem in the future. And determine how you should solve the problem, and who will do it. Lastly, identify whether there are risks in solving the problem.
To answer the question, Alex is in the fourth step: determining the root cause why the paper-jam occurred.

Aikman Company paid dividends of $2,410, $0, $1,570 and $1,060 over the first four years of the company's existence, respectivel
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

C. $3,685

Explanation:

Total dividends paid in first 4 years

= $2,410 + $0 + $1,570 + $1,060

= $5,040

Retained Earnings ending balance is the net of the total income earned over the years less the total dividend paid through the years.

Retained Earnings ending balance = Total income -  total dividend paid

$9,700 = Total income - $5,040

Total Income = $9,700 + $5,040

= $14,740

Average annual amount of net income (loss) over the first four years for Aikman

= $14,740/4

= $3,685

Alistair Fashions, a clothing manufacturer, uses an assembly-line to manufacture clothes whereby different groups of workers spe
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: Division of labour

Explanation: Division of labour entails dividing various tasks of making a good amongst the workers in a system. This organizing system is normally used when there is a large work force. The reason why this system is used is because it allows workers to focus on the specific process they are tasked with, allowing them to perform this task more effectively and efficiently, as long as there is mass production of the specific good. This also allows workers to specialize in their specific task, because they have gotten used to executing it.

Because an assembly line apporach is used in Alistair Fashions, the existence of mass production is likely. Each worker, or group of workers, are tasked with specific tasks such as cutting fabric, finishing sleeves, making collars, etc, allowing them to focus on the element they are tasked with and perform their tasks efficiently.

A portfolio consists of 265 shares of Stock C that sells for $50 and 230 shares of Stock D that sells for $25. What is the portf
kakasveta [241]

Answer:Weight of Stock C=0.6974----- E

Explanation:

The Value of a stock  is given as  No. of Shares x Share Price

Therefore

Value of C = No. of Shares OF C x Share Price of Stock C= 265 x $50= $13,250

Value of D = No. of Shares of D x Share Price of Stock D= 230 x $25 = $5,750

Total value  of Portfolio= Value of C + Value of D = $13,250  +$5,750  =$19,000

Also,

Weight of stock = value of stock/Total value

Therefore

Weight of Stock C = Value of C / Total Portfolio Value =

$13,250 / $19,000=0.69736 = 0.6974

A country has two main products: hats and grapes. The country decides to start making more and more hats and fewer and fewer gra
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Because as more hats are produced less grapes can be produced.

Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

There are two commodities that can be produced by the country- hats and grapes.

If the country decides to increase production of hats, it has to reduce the quantity of hats that can be produced, therefore the opportunity cost increases.

Explanation:

For example, let assume a country can produce 30 grapes and 30 hats. If it decides to increase the amount of hats produced to 40, only 20 grapes can be produced. If it decides to increase to 50 hats only 10 grapes would be produced and if it decides to produce 60 hats, no grapes would be produced.

It can be seen that opportunity cost increases as more hats are produced

I hope my answer helps you
