Answer:

B, distinctive competence

This characteristic gives the business the upper hand against other competitors in market and shows that the business is doing something better than all other businesses.

This gives Bob's assembly the upper hand in the hardware market and as such customers will most likely patronize him compared to the other businesses in the hardware market.

​A restaurant, which operates in a perfectly competitive market, is evaluating whether it should serve breakfast on a daily ba
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

In the short run, the firm would continue to operate if its revenue covers variable cost. if it doesn't it would shut down.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

The price of Android tablets will increase.

The demand for Android tablets will increase.

Explanation:

iPads and android Tablets are direct competition for one another.

So, when the average prices of an ipad goes up ,  some percentage of the <u><em>consumers will seek alternatives for similar product.</em></u> This is why the demand for android tablets will increase.

A gourmet coffee shop in downtown San Francisco is open 200 days a year and sells an average of 75 pounds of Kona coffee beans a
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

EOQ 400 units

inventory cost $1,200

 holding $600

 ordering $600

reorder point 369.9 pounds

Explanation:

EOQ

Q_{opt} = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}}

<u>Where:</u>

D = annual demand =  200 days x 75 pound per day =  15,000  

S= setup cost = ordering cost = $         16

H= Holding Cost =                       $          3

Q_{opt} = \sqrt{\frac{2(15,000)(16)}{3}}

EOQ 400

Inventory cost:

average inventory x holding cost

400/2 x $3 = $600 holding cost

order per year x order cost

15,000/400 x $16 = $600 order cost

<u>reorder point: demand x lead time + safety stock</u>

to get a confidence of 99% we need to look at the table for a Z value which is above 99% of the cases and then, move it to our ditribution.

In the talbe we got at a Z of 2.33 has a score of 0.99 which is the probability we want.

Now we calculate the safety stock

2.33 \sqrt{4\times 15^{2} }

safety stock: 69.9

This is the safety stock

Now the company will reorder at:

daily use x lead time + safety stock:

75 x 4 + 69.9 =

300 + 69.9 = 369.9
