Answer:
Kanban container size = 73
Number of kanbans needed = 5
Explanation:
Kanban container size (Q):
Q = SQRT [(2 x D x S) / H x (1 - d/p)]
where,
D = Annual demand
S = Setup cost
H = Holding cost
d = Daily usage
p = Daily production
Putting the given values in the above formula,
CONTAINER SIZE = SQRT ((2 * ANNUAL DEMAND * SETUP COST) / (HOLDING COST * (1 - (DAILY USAGE / DAILY PRODUCTION))))
Q = SQRT [(2 x 4,000 x $30) / $125 x (1 - 16/25)]
Kanbans container size = 73 units (Rounding off to the nearest whole number)
NUMBER OF KANBANS = DEMAND DURING LEAD TIME + SAFETY STOCK / SIZE OF CONTAINER
K = ((16 * 16) + (4 * 25) / 73 = 5
<span>The most recent study was done on June 1, 2017, and all information is from that date. There are 673 US District court judgeships and four territorial ones. At the time of this study, there were 160 active circuit court judges and 19 vacant positions, while there were 570 district court judges and a whopping 103 vacant positions.
There are 59 female circuit court judges, 37%. Men, therefore, are in 63% of positions. Intesretingly, this number has actually improved, with only one woman serving in 1977.
Disregarding race, 75% of circuit court judges are white, 13% African American, 9% Hispanic, and only 3% Asian American. 12 courts have African American judges, nine have Hispanic, and five have Asian American. Overall, all three percentages have risen since 1977 (with some variability), but interestingly, Asian Americans have only recently begun to rise in presence., starting in about 2010.
Combining gender and race, white men make up 45.6% of all circuit court judges, while Asian American women only make up 0.6%. In all races, men overpower women in numbers by a large amount.
Looking at age, the average is 64.7 years old, with over 50% over 65 and only 2% under 45. The vast majority were appointed between 45 and 54, though many came slightly before or after.
It is worth noting that the first openly gay circuit court judge was Todd M. Hughes, appointed by Obama in 2013.
If we are considering race, Asian Americans are the lowest represented. If we are considering gender, women are less represented. Overall in race and gender, Asian American women are least represented. Looking at age, people under 40 are underrepresented. Overall, though, the least common demographic would be open members of the LGBT+ community.
As you can see, this is not a straightforward question! It is a hugely interesting topic and one I plan to explore further.</span>
Answer:
c) merchant wholesaler
Explanation:
A merchant wholesaler is a business unit that buys merchandise in bulk from manufacturers and resells to retailers in smaller quantities. The wholesale business has profit motives. It forms a link between manufacturers and retailers.
Unlike agents and brokers, merchant wholesalers take ownership of the goods they buy. Carolyne should avoid becoming a merchant wholesaler. As a wholesaler, she will own all the merchandise she purchases. She can choose to be either an agent or broker as these do not take title to the merchandise.
Answer:
IBM could either diversify by the strategy of market penetration, which consists in increasing the market share in a particular sector (in this case, cloud computing) through more marketing efforts.
Or it could integrate horizontally, acquiring a possible competitor that is more advanced in the cloud-computing business. Or even a start-up with good prospects, because with the amount of capital that IBM has, it could more easily expand the start-up operation as a new internal business division.
