Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": top management's attitude toward decentralized operating structures.

Explanation:

Sales forecasts have the purpose of providing companies with an idea of how their sales environment is going to be within a specific period. By forecasting, firms obtain objective information from inside and outside the company that allows them to maximize the distribution of their resources to cover the customers' demands in the future.

Thus, an executive's attitude over decentralized operating structures is not relevant for sales forecasting.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Letter A. Quality through constant innovation and quality assurance training.

Explanation:

Alternative A is correct, as W. Edwards Deming was a pioneer scholar in the application of organizational quality management.

He was responsible for creating the 14 points, which are principles for management that will help the organization to achieve total quality. He was also responsible for popularizing the PDCA Cycle (PLAN, DO, CHECK, ACT), which is a strategic tool widely used worldwide to ensure continuous improvement and the quality of processes and products.

PLAN: define objectives, methods and resources.
DO: Perform, educate and train.
CHECK: Measure and evaluate
ACT: act correctly.

Continuous improvement can be achieved through the correct and targeted use of the PDCA cycle towards organizational objectives. For Deming, without continuous improvement, there is no survival of the organization in the market, so he argues that continuous improvement must be implemented in all phases of the project, to achieve the benefits of continuous improvement of processes, increased productivity and reduced costs.

Use the information below to answer the following questions. Currency per U.S. $ Australia dollar 1.2377 6-months forward 1.2356

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Missing word "a. What must the six-month risk-free rate be in Japan"

a. Spot rate = 1 US $ = 1.2377 Aus.dollar

Forward rate = 1 US $ = 1.2356 Aus.dollar

1.2356 = (1 + i Ad)

1.2377 (1 + 0.05)

0.9983 * (1.05) = 1 + i.Ad

1.048215 = 1 + i.Ad

i.Ad = 1.048215 - 1

i.Ad = 0.048215

i.Ad = 4.82%

b. Spot rate = 1 US $ = 100.3300 Japan Yen

Forward rate = 1 US $ = 100.0500 Japan Yen

100.0500 = (1 + i Ad)

100.3300 (1 + 0.05)

0.9972 * (1.05) = 1 + i.Ad

1.04706 = 1 + i.Ad

i.Ad = 1.04706 - 1

i.Ad = 0.04706

i.Ad = 4.71%

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Having a low credit score can make it more difficult to obtain a car loan, open a new credit card and secure an apartment lease. A credit score is a numerical expression based on a level analysis of a person's credit files, to represent the creditworthiness of the person. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
