Answer:

c) understand the parts of the firm's operation that create value and those that do not.

Explanation:

Value chain analysis (VCA) is a process where a firm identifies its primary and support activities that add value to its final product and then analyze these activities to reduce costs or increase differentiation.

Value chain represents the internal activities a firm engages in when transforming inputs into outputs.

Value chain analysis is a strategy tool used to analyze internal firm activities. Its goal is to recognize, which activities are the most valuable (i.e. are the source of cost or differentiation advantage) to the firm and which ones could be improved to provide competitive advantage. In other words, by looking into internal activities, the analysis reveals where a firm’s competitive advantages or disadvantages are. The firm that competes through differentiation advantage will try to perform its activities better than competitors would do. If it competes through cost advantage, it will try to perform internal activities at lower costs than competitors would do. When a company is capable of producing goods at lower costs than the market price or to provide superior products, it earns profits.

Which of the following most accurately explains why even if you won $1 million in a lottery, you still would not escape the scar

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

All Individuals, whether rich or poor,are dissatisfied with their material well-being and would like more.

Explanation:

Individuals wanting more and not being satisfied with their material well being goes back to the fundamental problem of economics-unlimited human wants. Economists argue that human wants are unlimited and insatiable irrespective of their economic class. Whether rich or poor, no man is satisfied with his material well-being. Every man still feel something is lacking after acquiring so much or so little. He still has the scarcity problem.

This never-ending desire is embedded in the physiological make up of a man. When a man gets food, then he wants house. When he gets house, he wants car. When he gets a car, he wants to buy a private jet. In short, the more he gets, the more he wants more.

And that`s is the reason why you would win $1 million and stills not satisfied with having enough. You would still believe you lack something. You would still want to acquire more just to solve this scarcity problem.

Other options do not explain the problem ; they just points at microeconomics and macroeconomics issues.

Damm [24]

Answer:

1495 filters are considered as safety stock.

Explanation:

d = 80 filters, std devd= 5, L = 14 days, std dev L= 2 days

Std dev dL = Sq rt ( Lσ d2 + d 2σ L2 ) = sq rt ( 350 + 25600) = 161 filter

z= 2.33 at 99% SL

safety stock = 2.33 X 161 = 375 filter

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

An import quota is defined as the restriction on the imports from the other nations. It is the direct restriction on the quantity of goods imported from the other countries. This restriction takes place to protect the domestic producers of the home nation from the foreign competition.

For example: The united states wants to import 50,000 cars from Japan but there is an import quota of 40,000 cars. So, the consumers in the United States won't be able to import remaining 10,000 cars.
