Tommy Baker is an account representative from the United States for an automotive parts supplier and is meeting with a client te

am in Japan. This is Tommy's first trip to Japan, and unfortunately, he wasn't able to review any information about "doing business in Japan" before he left the States. His first meeting with representatives from the prospective client's firm is a dinner, and he is immediately surprised at the formality of the event. All of his counterparts are dressed very formally, and no one is addressing him by his first name but is referring to him as Mr. Baker. In addition, the members of the client team seem to be waiting on their supervisor to make the first move, and Tommy is beginning to realize that age and seniority are very important to the team members. Tommy is
growing a little concerned that he may not be successful in business since he feels like a fish out of water. Which environmental force has the sales representative encountered?
A. Sociocultural
B. Economic
C. Technological
D. Competitive
Business

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

308 minutes

Explanation:

The average waiting time = \frac{42*5^2+4(540)^2}{2*(480-(42*5)-540*4))}

At the beginning of the month, you owned $8,000 of General Dynamics, $7,000 of Starbucks, and $5,000 of Nike. The monthly return
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

= $406.6

Explanation:

To calculate return of portfolio we first calculate weight of each asset

this can be done by finding total investment and then dividing each asset by total investment.

Total investment = 8000 + 7000 + 5000 = $20,000

General Dynamics     8000/20000 = 0.4 = W1

Starbucks                    7000/20000 = 0.35 = W2

Nike                             5000/20000 = 0.25 = W3

Now for portfolio return we can use the formula

P(r) = W1 * (Return on W1 asset) + W2 * (Return on W2 asset) + W3 * (Return on W3 asset)

So,

P(r) = 0.4 * (0.0680) + 0.35 * (-0.0152) + 0.25 * (-0.0062)

This gives us

Total Return % = 0.02033 or 2.033%

Simply multiply this cumulative weight to total portfolio worth

Total Return in $ = 0.02033 * 20000  = $406.6

Hope that helps.

Disadvantages of gap maps with example
Ganezh [65]

One of the most significant disadvantages of conducting a gap analysis or map is the loss of time and money. Typically, an organization will hire a consultant to conduct the assessment; however, participation takes valuable time away from project participants.

<h3>What is a gap analysis or map?</h3>

A gap analysis is a method of evaluating a business unit's performance to determine whether or not business requirements or targets are being met and, if not, what steps should be taken to meet them.

A gap analysis is also known as a needs analysis, a needs assessment or a need-gap analysis. Performing a skills gap analysis may increase your costs. This is due to the fact that employees frequently stop or interrupt their productivity while participating.
