Answer:

b. When there is a lack of importance of the buyer to the supplier group

Explanation:

According to Porter there are five forces that can cause rivalry in a production industry. These are supplier power, threat of new entrants, buyer power, threat of substitutes, and degree of rivalry.

Supplier power is when suppliers are able to benefit from the producers by increasing prices of inputs and gaining some industry profit. Since suppliers supply input and labour to the producer they have a greater control of there is lack of importance of the buyer to the supplier group.

This means that the supplier group has more control on price and quality it supplies to the buyer with buyer having little choice but to buy.

If however buyer is more important to the supplier it means they can control price and quality of inputs

Answer: Planning reduces creativity

Explanation:

Under Planning reduces creativity, all team menbers are instructed or directed to work within the frame given by the management to them, working outside the frame of what was issued would go against the directives of the organization. This type of limitation of planning limits creativity, because members won't be able to introduce ideas to advance the growth of the team.

the journal entry to record warranty expense is:

Dr Warranty expense 30,000

Cr Warranty liability 30,000

the journal entry to record actual expenses related to product warranties:

Dr Warranty liability 10,000

Cr Cash (or inventory, or wages payable) 10,000

Depending on what type of costs are incurred by the company, the account credited will vary, e.g. if units are replaced, then inventory must be credited, or if units are repaired and only labor is used, then wages payable or cash should be credited. Since the question doesn't give us a lot of details, I credited cash.

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 7.3 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has three

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Sam change: -5.13%

Dave change -18.01%

Explanation:

If interest rate increase by 2%

then the YTM of the bond will be 9.3%

We need eto calcualte the present value of the coupon and maturity of the bond at this new rate:

For the coupon payment we use the formula for ordinary annuity

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Coupon payment: 1,000 x 7.3% / 2 payment per year: 36.50

time 6 (3 years x 2 payment per year)

YTM seiannual: 0.0465 (9.3% annual /2 = 4.65% semiannual)

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-6} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $187.3546

For the maturity we calculate usign the lump sum formula:

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity: $ 1,000.00

time: 6 payment

rate: 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{6} } = PV$

PV 761.32

Now, we add both together:

PV coupon $187.3546 + PV maturity $761.3154 = $948.6700

now we calcualte the change in percentage:

948.67/1,000 - 1 = -0.051330026 = -5.13

For Dave we do the same:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 36.50

time 40

rate 0.0465

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-40} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $657.5166

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 40.00

rate 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{40} } = PV$

PV 162.34

PV c $657.5166

PV m $162.3419

Total $819.8585

Change:

819.86 / 1,000 - 1 = -0.180141521 = -18.01%
