Answer:
The operation manager would want the inventory in front of process A based on the lean system.
Explanation:
To fully understand the basis on which we chose the answer, we need to define what a lean system is.
A Lean system refers to a business process plan. More a of business model canvass that meticulously deal with business process plan and development for the purpose of achieving maximum value in production, client and customer satisfaction while still at a reduced cost of running business. It should also be noted that the lean system is mostly a continuum of existing process and subsequent process progress are mostly determined by the level of integrity attained by the primary design stage.
With the understanding gotten from the definition above, it then obvious from the narrative of the question that the process is consecutive. As such, follows a pattern of A to B to C and thus the level of integrity of process design achieved at A will be passed down to B and C.
This is the more reason why the operation manager will prefer to to want an inventory at A which is the primary point of start.
Answer:
The answer is option (C). The firm's required rate of return=11.95%
Explanation:
The required rate of return can be expressed using the formula below;
RRR=RFR+B(MRR)
where;
RRR=required rate of return
RFR=risk free return
B=beta
MRR=market rate of return
In our case;
RRR=unknown
RFR=4.25%
B=1.4
MRR=5.5%
This can be written as;
Required rate of return=risk free return+(beta×market rate of return)
replacing;
RRR=4.25%+(1.4×5.5)
RRR=(4.25%+7.7)=11.95%
The firm's required rate of return=11.95%

Answer:
Decrease by 50.
Explanation:
Estimated regression equation was:
Crime = 428 + 0.050 Income
Above regression equation says that if there is an increase in the income level by $1 then as a result crime increases by 5% which shows that there is a direct relationship between the income level and crime level.
Hence, if Income decreases by 1000, then we would expect that Crime will decreases by:
= 0.050 × 1,000
= 50
Decrease by 50.
