Impact of strategy evaluation and control in gaining competitive advantage​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation: For the better part of a decade, strategy has been a business buzzword. Top executives ponder strategic objectives and missions. Managers down the line rough out product/market strategies. Functional chiefs lay out “strategies” for everything from R&D to raw-materials sourcing and distributor relations. Mere planning has lost its glamor; the planners have all turned into strategists.

Consider the following financial statement information for the Hop Corporation:
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Operating cycle = 59.29 days

Cash cycle = 26.1115 days

Explanation:

From the information given:

\text{Beginning Inventory \$16,284} \\ \\ \text{Beginning Accounts receivable 11,219} \\ \\ \text{Beginning Accounts payable 13,960} \\ \\ \text{Ending Inventory $19,108} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts receivable 13,973} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts payable 16,676} \\ \\ \text{Net sales \$219,320} \\ \\ \text{Cost of goods sold 168,420} \\ \\

\text{Ending Inventory \$19,108} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts receivable 13,973} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts payable 16,676} \\ \\ \text{Net sales \$219,320} \\ \\ \text{Cost of goods sold 168,420} \\ \\

To start with:

\text{Average inventory = } \dfrac{Beginning \ value +Ending \ value}{2} \\ \\ =\dfrac{ 16,284 + 19,108} {2} \\ \\ = \dfrac{35,392}{ 2} \\ \\ = \$17,696

\text{Average receivable }=\dfrac{ Beginning value + Ending value }{ 2} \\ \\ =\dfrac{ 11,219 + 13,973 }{2} \\ \\ =\dfrac{ 25,192 }{ 2} \\ \\= \$12,596 \\ \\

\text{Average payable }= \dfrac{Beginning \ value + Ending\  value}{  2} \\ \\ = \dfrac{13,960 + 16,676 }{2} \\ \\= \dfrac{30,636}{2} \\ \\ = \$15,313

\text{Days of inventory outstanding} = \dfrac{Average \  inventory }{ Cost  \ of  \ goods \  sold  } \times 365  \\ \\ \dfrac{= 17,686}{ 168,420} \times 365 \\ \\ = 0.105\times 365 \\ \\= 38.329 \ days

\text{Days  \ of  \ receivable \  outstanding }= \dfrac{Average  \ receivable }{ sales }\times 365 \\ \\ \dfrac{= 12,596 }{ 219,320} \times 365 \\ \\ = 0.0574 \times 365 \\ \\= 20.951 \  days

\text{Days of payable outstanding} = \dfrac{Average payable}{cost of goods sold} \times 365 \\ \\ = \dfrac{15,313 }{ 168,420} \times 365 \\ \\ = 0.0909 \times 365 \\ \\= 33.1785 days

\text{Operating Cycle = Days of inventory outstanding + Days of receivable outstanding} \\ \\ = 38.339 + 20.951 \\ \\ = 59.29 days

\text{Cash Conversion Cycle = Operating cycle - Days of payable outstanding} \\ \\ = 59.29 - 33.1785 \\ \\ = 26.1115 days \\ \\

Economics students often confuse (a) diminishing returns related to the variable factors of production and (b) diseconomies of s
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Marginal Product:

The marginal product of an input that is being used in the production process of a good or services is the extra output generated by using the extra unit of that input. Alternatively, the marginal product is the output generated by the last unit of the input added only.

Explanation:

  1. Diminishing marginal returns means that as you adds more units of that input, the marginal product declines. That is, each additional of extra unit of the input results in decreased and less additional output. For example, the marginal product of labor usually decreases as the amount of labor increases because there is a fixed amount of capital used in the short run, so when labor increases, the capital per unit of labor decreases, which results in each and every extra working being less productive than the previous one.
  2. Dis-economies of scale, whereas, results in an increase in the average cost of production as the number of units increases. That's why diminishing marginal returns refers to production, and dis-economies of scale refers to the average cost. Dis-economies of scale often happened because the production levels get high, there is less management on each employee, resulting in each employee having less motivation to work as hard due to lack of production making it hard to notice that change.So, it may results in the average worker's productivity decreasing, causing the per-unit cost to rise.
