Answer:

<u>Centralized decision making authority</u>

Explanation:

The concept of total quality management was proposed by Edwards Deming who laid immense emphasis upon improvement of product quality and providing highest value to the customers.

The concept aims at providing high quality goods, effective after sales services, driven by the objective of providing highest level of possible satisfaction to the customers.

TQM includes benchmarking which means creating standards or benchmarks against which actual performance shall be evaluated.

It includes continuous improvement in products and services as this being one of it's objectives.

The concept does not incorporate centralized decision making which refers to decisions being taken only by the top management with subordinates having negligible say. Such decision making would increase the time and hence reduce efficiency.

Problem 4-4 Calculation of Gain or Loss (LO 4.3) Jocasta owns an apartment complex that she purchased 6 years ago for $750,000.
NemiM [27]

Answer:

$671,300

Explanation:

The calculation of adjusted basis in the building is shown below:-

Adjusted basis = Original cost of the property + Cost of capital improvements - Depreciation claimed

= $750,000 + $50,000 - $128,700

= $800,000 - $128,700

= $671,300

Therefore for computing the adjusted basis we simply add original cost of the property with cost of capital improvements and deduct depreciation claimed.

You are a U.S.-based treasurer with $1,000,000 to invest. The dollar-euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.50 = €1.00 and the dolla
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is (B) Buy euro at $1.50/€, buy £ at €1.25/£, sell £ at $2/£

Explanation:

The dollar- euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.50 = €1.00

the dollar-pound exchange rate is quoted at $2.00 = £1.00

To calculate the actual cross rate we use; S(euro divided by pounds) =  S(dollar/pounds) ÷ S(dollar/euro).

Using symbols to denote this, we have S(€/£) = S($/£) / S($/€)

S(€/£) = S(2/1) ÷ S(1.50/1)

= (2 / 1.5)

= €1.33.

Consequently, from this result we now know that the euro is undervalued with respect to pounds under the cross rate being offered by the bank. This implies that you should first buy the euro, convert to pounds, and eventually convert back to dollars, this would enable you make money as an investor.

Consider the market for socks. The current price of a pair of plain white socks is $6.00. Two consumers, Jeff and Samir, are wil
muminat

Answer:

consumer surplus = $3.5

producer surplus = $2

Explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good

Jeff's consumer surplus = $7 - $6 = $1

Samir's  consumer surplus = $8.50 - $6 = $2.50

total consumer surplus = $1 + $2.50 = $3.50

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product

Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept

Manufacturer 1's producer surplus = $6 - $4.5 = $1.50

Manufacturer 2's producer surplus = $6 - $5.50 = $0.50

total producer surplus = $1.50 + 0.50 = $2

The nation of Aquilonia has decided to end its policy of not trading with the rest of the world. When it ends its trade restrict
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

higher in the steel market, lower in the rice market, and unchanged in the TV market

Explanation:

Producer surplus can be defined as the variance between the amount an individual or nation is willing to take for certain quantity of a product versus the amount they receive when the goods are sold at the market value. For the nation of Aquilonia to be importing rice that means producer surplus is higher because the variance is low, it will export rice because the producer variance is low, and hence it wants to give to other countries. But since it is neither exporting nor importing TV, that means that the producer surplus remained the same even after the change in policy.
