Ksju [112]

Answer:

$i =0.050713..$ or

$approximately \ 5.0713..\%$

Explanation:

Assume an investment of $1.00

First Simple Bank:

Amount after 6 years = 1 + PRT

= 1 + 1(0.064)(10)

= 1.64

Complex Bank:

$1*(1+i)^{10} = 1.64$

Take 10th root of both sides

$( (1+i)^ {10})*(\frac{1}{10} ) = 1.64^{\frac{1}{10}}$

$1+i = 1.050713..$

$i =0.050713..$

or

$approximately \ 5.0713..\%$

Answer:

1. What environmental, social, and political risks might arise in supply chain operations in Haiti?

An enviromental risk is another earthquake. Haiti is a very seismic country, and infraestructure quality is low: it can easily crumble down in the even of a strong earthquake (unlike other highly seismic countries with high quality infraestructure, for example: Japan).

A social risk is the possiblity of workers' revolts. The workers may feel exploited, or not at ease within the company, and decided to revolt. Haiti is a violent country, and the revolt could easily become a full-scale conflict that would result in the closing of most, of all of the firms associated with the supply chain.

A political risk is the possibility of property seizure by the government. Haiti does not rank high in government stability, judicial independence, or property rights protections. A new government could become authoritarian, and decide to seize the firms associated with the supply chain.

2. What are the foreseeable costs and benefits from supply chain operations in Haiti?

Low labor costs: the average per capita income in Haiti is $450, and the poverty rate is over 50%, while the underemployment rate is over 60%. This means that people are willing to work, and will work for very low wages, meaning lower costs accross the supply chain.

Untapped market: Even if Haiti is a very poor country, for the same reason it has a great potential to grow, since poor, developing countries tend to grow faster than advanced nations. If the economy of Haitin turns upwards, the firms along the supply chain will likely benefit from being the first in the new market.

3. How could you ensure that your company’s involvement would play a beneficial role in Haiti’s economic recovery?

Paying fair wages, following the country's laws, avoiding illegal practices such as bribing, and putting aside some of the company's income for social contributions such as donations to schools and hospitals (corporate social responsability).

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola producers a tax. Before the tax, 50 billion cases of cola were sold ever

Georgia [21]

Answer:

U.S. Tax Burden on Cola:

The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $4 per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ___$3______ per case.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.

a. True

b. False

Explanation:

The tax burden on consumers, which is represented by the difference in the price of cola from $5 to $6 per unit is $1 ($6 - $5). However, the cash received by producers reduced by $3 from $5 to $2. This shows that the total tax burden on both consumers and producers is $4 ($1 + $3).

This represents a total tax burden of $4 or about 67% based on the new selling price of cola or 80% based on the old selling price of cola.

"The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers alone. This because the price of cola would have increased to $9 per unit. Since the demand for cola in this instance is elastic, this change in price would have caused a more than 80% change in the quantity demanded.

The continuing cycle of erratic demand causing forecasts to include safety stock which in turn magnify supplier forecasts and ca

balandron [24]

Answer:

The Bullwhip Effect

Explanation:

Bullwhip effect is a phenomenon that occurs in an organisation's channel of distribution due to swings or erratic demands for products by customers. This erratic nature of demands will usually lead to forecasting inefficiencies especially in meeting the demands through the supply chain.

A sudden increase in demand could lead to production planning problems because there might not be enough inventory of materials on ground to meet the demand. Also, a sudden decrease in demand can bring the challenge of excess inventory of materials which may not be needed for production for a while.

One of the measures taken to manage this erratic nature of demands is to ensure that whatever the forecasts for demands is, safety stock must be included to the forecast level of demand so as to ensure that production planning is adequate and the demands are met as well.
