Answer:
$299,280
Explanation:
If the Tolstoys purchased the house they would pay on average $120 per sq ft x 2,900 sq ft = $348,000
If Mr. installs the plumbing and Mrs. Tolstoy decorates the house, they can save 10% (plumbing and installing plumbing fixtures) and 4% (interior decorating) = 14% of the cost
So the Tolstoys can save = $348,000 x 14% = $48,720
the cost of the house = $348,000 - $48,720 = $299,280
Answer:
Explanation:
I will split this answer into two options...
Fiber Optic communications work by sending data through beams of light through a series of fiber cables. This allows for data transfer at incredibly high speeds and with an almost non-existent probability of data loss. Since cables need to be connected from one end-point to another this form of communication becomes more expensive and the capability of reconfiguration becomes incredibly difficult. The likelihood of failure is also very low due to the nature of the technology.
Satellite communication sends data wirelessly by beaming the data to satellites and then back down to the destination. This allows for data to be transferred worldwide but runs into the risk of interference, data loss, signal loss etc. Costs are much cheaper than Fiber Optics due to the lack of wiring. Multipoint capabilities are high since endpoints can be placed anywhere with a clear line of sight to the sky, which also means that reconfiguration capabilities are high as well.
To limit the impact of equilibrium pricing
Answer:
c. Division 1 should continue to do business with Division 2 because Division 1's variable cost per part is only $18.
Explanation:
Since the variable cost per part is only $18 and Division 1 sells to Division 2 at $25, it is in the company's overall interest that business should continue between the two divisions.
The cost of getting the part from outside is $26. This will incur more cost to the company and create excess capacity for Division 1.
Fixed costs are not relevant in making a decision of this nature. The costs would be incurred irrespective of the decision made. They are therefore irrelevant. The relevant cost is the variable cost of $18 per unit. It should be the focus of the decision, including the possibility of excess capacity for Division 1.
Answer: Sustainability
Explanation: Sustainability simply means continual existence regardless of domain or pillar. It explains the maintenance of economic, social and environmental resources to meet the demand and needs of the present industry or generation without jeopardizing or compromising the needs of future generation. The concept of sustainability looks beyond the present, it focuses on harmonizing the needs of present and future generation by encouraging decisions and policies that focuses beyond the present, rather considering the effects of present policies in decades to come. Common sustainability goals include reduction of carbon emission, shift to the use of renewable energy resources such as wind, hydro and solar, All in a bid to maintain a healthy ecosystem for present and more importantly future generation.
