Suppose that you are opening a new music store in your town. How would the government affect your business?

Operations managers have learned that quality control is not a never-ending process. Just before you add packaging to the finish

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Operations manager should ensure quality control is done at all stages in the production cycle to ensure highest standard. If quality check is carried out only at the final stage defects that should have been spotted earlier will cause product to be discarded.

So checking the product at the last stage is counter-productive.

Imagine that the U.S. economy has an initial unemployment rate equal to the natural rate of unemployment. Identify each event as

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Explanation:

Let’s explore one by one as proposed:

An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.

The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.

American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).

Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.

U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.

Incomplete question. Here's the remaining part that completes question;

<em>(Use the Table 15.1(a) and Table 15.1(b)). (Round intermediate calculations and your final answers to the nearest cent.)</em>

<em />

<em>Monthly payment </em>

<em>a. 25 Years, 10.5% </em>

<em>b. 25 Years, 11.5% </em>

<em>c. 25 Years, 12.5% </em>

<em>d. 25 Years, 14.0%</em>

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Monthly payment is $104 for each assumption</u>

<u>Total interest cost</u>

<u>a. $3,276</u>

<u>b. $3,588</u>

<u>c. $3,900</u>

<u>d. $4,368</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Total balance left = $39,000-$7800 (20% of Cost of cottage)=$31,200

a) For monthly payment

$31,200/300 months (equivalent For 25 years) = $104

Total cost of Interest= monthly Interest% x monthly payment x 300 months= 10.5% x $104 x 300 months = $3,276.

b) For monthly payment

$31,200/300 months (equivalent For 25 years) = $104

Total cost of Interest= monthly Interest% x monthly payment x 300 months= 11.5% x $104 x 300 months = $3,588.

c) For monthly payment

$31,200/300 months (equivalent For 25 years) = $104

Total cost of Interest= monthly Interest% x monthly payment x 300 months= 12.5% x $104 x 300 months = $3,900.

d) For monthly payment

$31,200/300 months (equivalent For 25 years) = $104

Total cost of Interest= monthly Interest% x monthly payment x 300 months= 14% x $104 x 300 months = $4,368.

xenn [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": short-term financing.

Explanation:

Short-term financing allows companies to obtain capital for their <em>day-to-day operations</em>. The funds obtained are typically used for the transactions companies require during one period -one year, but the term for payment tends to be within six (6) to twenty-four (24) months. Under this scenario, the main purpose of firms is to keep their businesses up and running and obtain profits enough for the payment of the loan and reinvestment in the company.

IRISSAK [1]

The net profit margin, or simply net margin, measures how much net income or profit is generated as a percentage of revenue.

It is the ratio of net profits to revenues for a company or business segment. Net profit margin is typically expressed as a percentage but can also be represented in decimal form.

<h3>How do we calculate net profit margin?</h3>

Net profit margin is calculated by dividing the net profits by net sales, or by dividing the net income by revenue realized over a given time period.

<h3>What is good net profit ratio?</h3>

For example, in the retail industry, a good net profit ratio might be between 0.5% and 3.5%.

Other industries might consider 0.5 and 3.5 to be extremely low, but this is common for retailers. In general, businesses should aim for profit ratios between 10% and 20% while paying attention to their industry's average.
