Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": automating the tracking of inventory and information among business processes and across companies
.
Explanation:
Supply Chain Management (SCM) comprises all the steps companies take from gathering raw materials until the delivery of a final good to consumers. In the process, several resources are used such as Information Technology (IT) systems which allow measuring numerically materials, components, labor hand and hours, and the necessary resources for the manufacturing company given a period.
Besides, <em>IT systems are useful to keep track of the flow of the units being produced when they hit the warehouse shelves and when they leave the company for sale. This information is useful for the plant and its suppliers.</em>
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate (Meeting with clients)= $170 per hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Activity Cost Pool - Total Cost - Total Activity
Researching legal issues $ 22,130 and 750 research hours
Meeting with clients $ 1,270,410 and 7,473 meeting hours
Preparing documents $ 93,490 and 5,850 documents
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate (Meeting with clients)= 1,270,410/7,473= $170 per hour
Answer:
Because he is able to cover the variable cots, he should keep going in the short run. He must increase the number of walks to cover the fixed costs.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Kay walks dogs for $7.50 each. Her total cost each day is $45—she spends $35 a day on gas driving to different neighborhoods, and her liability insurance and other fixed costs average out to $10 per day.
Kay walks five dogs a day.
Income= 7.5*5= $37.5
Total cost= 45
Loss= (7.5)
Because he is able to cover the variable cots, he should keep going in the short run. He must increase the number of walks to cover the fixed costs.
Answer:
Quantity variance.
Explanation:
The difference between actual and standard cost caused by the difference between the actual quantity and the standard quantity is called the Quantity variance.
For instance, if Tony needs a standard quantity of 50 pounds of iron to construct a burglary, but only used 51 pounds, then the quantity variance is 1 pound of iron.
<em>Hence, the quantity variance is simply the difference between the actual quantity of materials that should be used and the quantity of materials that was used. </em>
Answer:
B. The demand is more elastic than supply .
Explanation:
Demand & supply are buyers & sellers ability , willingness to buy & sell respectively .
Elasticity means responsiveness of demand & supply to prices.
'Tax burden' can be forwarded / shared only in case of Indirect taxes , whose burden & incidence lie on different people.
The burden falls on the party (consumers / suppliers) whose market element (demand / supply) is inelastic i.e less responsive to prices.
So , if sellers are bearing larger burden : It means demand is relatively elastic & supply is relatively inelastic.
