What is the Porter's 5 forces model?

Business
1 answer:
neonofarm [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Created by a Professor Michael E. Porter, from Harvard, this model explains the various forces applied to a business.

Competition in the industry : Are there competitors in the industry?  If so, are they numerous and weak or is the industry dominated by a few major players?

Potential of new entrants into the industry : What's the risk of having new competition?  If you are selling a product, can you protect it with a patent for example?

Power of suppliers : Can the suppliers of what you need easily affect the prices?  It's basically asking if there is competition in your suppliers' market.

Power of customers : That related to your customer base.  If your customer base is large, chances are no individual will be able to force your price down.  But if you are dealing with a limited number of customers, one of them might force you to lower your prices.

Threat of substitute products: Is there any comparable product/service offered at a lower cost that might bring your prices down?

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

C) Telecommuting

Explanation:

Telecommuting simply means working from your home. The internet changed our lives completely, and it is also how we work. Everyday more people are starting to work from distant locations to their "main office". This means that they can be working at their house using a computer which is connected to the company's intranet.

Some of the advantages of telecommuting is that it increases efficiency by decreasing costs (you don't have to spend time going to work and you can have your office at home), reducing employee churn rate, allowing older or disabled people to work, it is good for your health, and around 65% of telecommuters in the US have have increased their work efficiency vs. their normal office work.

Antonio and Barbara are partners who share income in the ratio of 1:2 and have capital balances of $40,000 and $70,000 at the ti
NikAS [45]

Answer: c. $20,000

Explanation:

The Loss on Realization is monies accrued after assets have been sold off at less than their original value and in Calculating it, the following formula is used,

Loss on realization = Total Capital Balances after payment of liabilities minus - balance

Slotting in the figures therefore we have,

Loss on realization = $40,000 + $70,000 - $80,000

= $30,000 was the total loss on Realization

Seeing as Antonio and Barbara are partners who share income in the ratio of 1:2 we allocate to Barbara as follows,

Barbara = $30,000 * 2/(1+2)

= $20,000

Therefore option C is correct.

Saturn Industries purchased and consumed 64,000 gallons of direct material that was used in the production of 17,000 finished un
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The actual price = $1.08

Explanation:

The standard material price can be worked out as follows:

<em>Step 1: Work out the standard price of material  using the material usage variance</em>

Standard price = Material usage variance/(standard quantity of material - actual quantity)

Standard quantity of material = standard qty per unit × actual production

                                              = 4 × 17,000 =68,000

Standard price =  2,800/(68,000-64,000)= $0.7

<em>Step 2 : Work out the Actual material price using the material price variance</em>

Material price variance = (Standard price - Actual price )× Actual quantity of material

6,400 =  (y - 0.7) ×  17,000

6400 = 17,000y  - 11,900

17,000 y = 6,400 + 11,900

y = 18,300/17,000= 1.08

The actual price = $1.08
