Answer:
- Project completion time: 21 weeks
- Critical Path: B - E - G
- ES, EF, LS, LF are shown below
Explanation:
The earliest start is the latest of the earliest finish times of the predecessors. The earliest finish is the sum of earliest start and duration.
The latest finish is the earliest of the latest start times of the successors. The latest start is the difference of latest finish and duration.
The slack is the difference between earliest start (or finish) and latest start (or finish).
Project duration is the earliest start of the "Project Done" task. For purposes of computing slack, this (project duration) is taken to be the latest finish of the immediate predecessors.
The critical path is the sequence of tasks with 0 slack.
Answer:
New Trade Theory
Explanation:
New Trade Theory explains one reason why some countries specialize in specific industries for factors other than natural resources, quantity of labor force, or comparative advantage.
This reason is that some industries can only support a limited number of firms around the world. An example of this is the aeronautic industry, which only has a few players, with two giant firms dominating above all others: Boeing (US), and Airbus (Europe).
While the United States and the European Union can specialize in making planes through their respective giant companies, most other countries in the world cannot do so: they neither have the techology, nor the expertise, nor the capital to create a successful competitor for Aribus or Boeing. It is not even clear if the market needs or would support a third industry giant either.
The 4 P's:
Price - cost of the product
Product - the type of good being sold
Place - how the product will get to the consumer (store, internet, etc)
Promotion - what marketing activities will be used to communicate the product (advertising, sales, etc)
Solution :
We calculate the advances form the customer to be reported as the current liability as on Dec. 31, 2009 in the balance sheet as follows :
<u> Particulars </u> <u> Amount ($)</u>
Customer advances the balance Dec 31, 2008 110
Add : advances that is received with 2009 orders is 195
Less : advances applicable to the orders in 2009 -180
Less : advances from orders that are canceled in 2009 <u> -45 </u>
Advances from the customers liability Dec. 31, 2009 80
Therefore, the advance from the customer to be reported in the balance sheet as the current liability is $80.
