What strategy of modern manufacturing is Adam Smith referring to in this statement? "To take an example, therefore, from a very

trifling manufacture . . . the trade of the pin-maker. . . . One man draws out the wire, another straights it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top for receiving the head; to make the head requires two or three distinct operations; to put it on is a peculiar business, to whiten the pins is another; . . . the important business of making a pin is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations."—Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations

What do you think about the 7dream concept for seven- eleven japan? from a supply chain perspective, is it likely to be more suc
VashaNatasha [74]
The Seven Dream concept of the Seven Eleven convenience store is a good supply chain concept that targets e-commerce customer. While most of the e-commerce portal are successful these days, 7 Dream comes as an unique inception. This allows customer to order via online and collect from the store deliveries at their convenience as well. The concept is seem to be more preferred in Japan, where customers have preference towards store delivery of the shipped goods. In fact, the 7- eleven in Japan is more successful than any other countries where the franchise has its stores open.

From the supply chain perspective, I think 7dream concept will be more successful in Japan than in USA. The reason being the urban customer of Japanese market and convenient access  for them to store and pick up. For place like USA, where population is sparsely distributed to large area, this supply chain concept will not be very effective. For Suburban population, this model will be very inconvenience as they have to drive a long way to store to collect their deliveries, which they could have easily got home delivered via other such services.

Board members are part of the governing body of the organization. Committed to the long-term interests of the organization, they meet regularly to oversee and direct operations, set policy, approve business decisions, evaluate operating performance, and carry out fiduciary responsibilities.

The board membership application process includes several steps. In most corporate boards, a nominating committee interviews candidates and decides who should join the board. Board members then vote on whether to elect the candidate selected by the nominating committee.

As of December 31, 2020, Gill Co. reported accounts receivable of $236,000 and an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $8,400
maksim [4K]

Answer:

$1,583

Explanation:

Accounts receivables as at 31/12/2021 = $236,000

A/R as at 31/12/2022 :

= Accounts receivables as at 31/12/2021 + increase in AR

= $236,000 + $22,300

= $258,300

Uncollectible accounts = 1% of accounts receivables

= 1% × $258,300

= $2,583

Allowance 31/12/2021 = $8,400

Writes off = $7,400

Therefore,

Allowance = Allowance 31/12/2021 - writes ofd

= $8,400 - $7,400

= $1,000

Hence,

Bad debt expense for 2021 = Uncollectible accounts - Allowance

= $2,583 - $1,000

= $1,583
