Answer:C. Simultaneous production and consumption.
Explanation:
Production and consumption occuring at the same time will not make products to differ.
Heterogenity which refers to different qualities in firms will lead to different products. Time perishable capacity which means idle time during low patronage will still allowed products differences, Abilities to limit the discretionary input of personnel will not debar product differences and Customer provides significant input into the process will allowed products differences.
Answer: 4%
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Pension plan assets were $1,200 million at the beginning of the year and $1,252 million at the end of the year and that at the end of the year, retiree benefits paid by the trustee were $28 million and cash invested in the pension fund was $32 million.
Based on the above scenario, the percentage rate of return on plan assets goes thus:
Opening balance of plan assets 1200
Add:- Actual return = 48
Add:- contributions = 32
Less :- retiree benefits = -28
Closing balance of plan assets = 1252
It should be noted that the actual return is the balancing figure which is calculated as:
= 1252 + 28 - 1200 - 32
= 48
The percentage rate of return on plan assets will now be:
= 48/1200
=0.04
= 4%
Answer: B. 1023, 1500, 2000}
Explanation:
The Optimal solution should contain the set of quantities that would require the lowest no. of orders to achieve a discount in a class.
1,023 is quite close to the lowest amount required of 1,000 in the 1,000 to 1,499 range.
So are 1,500 and 2,000.
Option D can also work but it has too many order quantities and will inflate the price.
The Optimal Solution therefore has to be from this option.
