Answer:

c. Buyers have strong bargaining power and entry barriers are low.

Explanation:

In markets where buyers have stron bargaining power because options are abundant, and entry barriers are low (the reason why options are abundant), focused strategies that attempt at attracting customers with lower prices or product differentiation can be very important in maintaining a firm's market share, or improving it.

A lower cost can attract most types of customers because almost everyone is interested in saving as much as possible when they buy goods and services. However, product differentiation is another good strategy because if suppliers are many, people often need something special about the good to finally take the decision to purchase it.

In this case the perfect tender rule

b. does not apply.

Explanation:

The perfect tender rule has certain exceptions where it cannot be applied to the tender parties and the probates of the tender.

If there is a government ruling against the use of certain products that are necessary for the tender to be completed and the outlaw happens after the tender is signed but before it is completed as a consignment then it cannot be done.

This would come under the ambit of an emergency where the governed ruling makes such deals null and void.

If the fixed costs for a product decrease and the variable costs (as a percentage of sales dollars) decrease, what will be the e
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Contribution margin ratio is the difference between the selling price of the product and the variable cost of the product.

Contribution margin ratio = Selling price - Variable cost

Now, if there is a decrease in the fixed costs and variable costs of the product then as a result contribution margin ratio increases because of the fall in variable cost.

Break even point = (Fixed expense ÷ Contribution margin ratio)

If there is an increase in the contribution margin ration and a reduction in the fixed expense then as a result break even point decreases.

Increased; Decreased

D. debit Spice Expense and credit Spice Inventory 240

Explanation:

Roland Richard purchased 200 ounces off of an expensive spice for $400.

Cost per ounce = $400/200 = $2

By December, 12/31/09, there were 80 ounces on hand. Roland Richard used 120 ounces of expensive spice with the amount of expense: $2 x 120 = $240

A company estimates that the revenue (in dollars) from the sale of x doghouses is given by R(x)=14,000ln(0.01x+1). Use the diffe
melamori03 [73]

Answer: The change in revenue for the sale of 1 more doghouse $ 66.67 dollars

Explanation: Differential is a function that can be used to approximate function value with a great degree of accuracy. This is done by the following.

Mathematical definition of derivative: f'(x) = lim f(x+Δx) - f(x)/Δx.

If Δx is very small:

f'(x) . Δx ≅ f(x+Δx) - f(x)

Knowing that Δy ≅ f(x+Δx) - f(x) and the diferential of variable x can be written by dx as the variable y can be dy:

dy = f'(x) dx

which means that the differential dy is approximately equal to the change Δy, if Δx is very small.

For the question, R(x) = y(x) = 14,000ln(0.01x+1)

f'(x) = \frac{d[14,000.ln(0.01x+1)]}{dx}

Using the chain rule, the derivative will be:

f'(x) = 14,000.\frac{0.01}{0.01x+1}

dy = 14,000.\frac{0.01}{0.01x+1}.dx

dx is the change in x. For the question, the change is 1 (1 more doghouse) and x is 110:

dy = 14,000\frac{0.01}{0.01.110+1}.1

dy = \frac{140}{2.1}

dy = 66.67

The change in revenue is $66.67 dollars.

Dell Computer's primary consumer business takes orders from customers for specific configurations of desktop and laptop computer
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Assemble to order

Explanation:

The reason is that the customer places the order and all Dell does is just assemble the product and deliver it to its customers. Dell is using just in time mechanism and has all of its chips manufacturing, LED manufacturing, etc production facilities interconnected. Even its suppliers are close to its production sites. This enables Dell to produce products that the customer is desiring. So assembling products by just after taking the customer orders is "assemble to order mechanism".
