Answer:

Re-intermediation

Explanation:

Re-intermediation is the method applied by most businesses in using the internet to bring together new customers for a business. The advent of technology can afford business owners the possibility of eliminating physical intermediaries in a business. For example, house agents help people who are seeking for new places to live in, find houses easily. Through the internet, however, landlords can directly advertise their vacant houses, thus eliminating the agent relationship which would have served as an intermediary.

So, when established manufacturers by-pass Amazon (which is an intermediary between buyers and sellers) by adding online services to their existing offerings, they have done a re-intermediation.

An analyst needs to adjust the nominal GDP for the years 2000 and 2010 into real terms to conclude his comparison analysis. The

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The answer is: the real gain in real GDP between 2010 and 2000 is 18.34%

Explanation:

First we have to determine the real GDP using the GDP deflator.

GDP deflator = (nominal GDP / real GDP) x 100

For year 2000:

24 = ($672 billion / real GDP ) x 100

2,400 = $672 billion / real GDP

real GDP = $0.28 billion

For year 2010:

51 = ($1,690 billion / real GDP ) x 100

5,100 = $1,690 billion / real GDP

real GDP = $0.331 billion

To calculate the real gain between real GDP from year 2000 to year 2010, we divide real GDP 2010 over real GDP 2000 and subtract 1:

($0.331 billion / $0.28 billion) -1 = 0.1834 x 100% = 18.34%

We are add the previous month +10% to get that month's amounts

Sales Budget

January February March

Cash sales $50,000 $55,000 $60,500

Credit sales $120,000 $132,000 $145,200

Total sales $170,000 $187,000 $205,700

Workings:

February

Cash sales = 50,000+(50,000*10%) = $55,000

Credit sales= 120,000+(120,000*10%) = $132,000

March

Cash sales = 55,000+(55,000*10%) = $60,500

Credit sales= 132,000+(132,000*10%) = $145,200

A manager is trying to decide whether to purchase a certain part or to have it produced internally. Internal production could us

Sergio [31]

Answer:

For both 10,000 units and 20,000 units, the best alternative is Vendor B

Explanation:

Using the information provided in the question, we can write the following:

Annual Volume of 10,000 units

Internal Alternative 1

Variable costs = 170,000 (we multiply the variable cost per unit by total units)

Fixed costs = 20,000

Total costs = 370,000

Internal Alternative 2

Variable costs = 140,000

Fixed costs = 240,000

Total costs = 380,000

Vendor A

Total cost = 200,000 (we simply multiply the price by the quantity)

Vendor B

Total cost = 180,000

Vendor C

Total cost = 190,000

The cheapest option is Vendor B

Now for the 20,000 units:

Internal Alternative 1

Variable costs = 340,000

Fixed costs = 200,000

Total costs = 540,000

Internal Alternative 2

Variable costs = 280,000

Fixed costs = 240,000

Total costs = 520,000

Vendor A

Total cost = 400,000

Vendor B

Total cost = 360,000

Vendor C

Total cost = 380,000

Therefore, Vendor B is once again, the cheapest alternative.
