Answer:

-The technology that is available for the market.

- The nature of the products

Explanation:

Latest technology often able to produce larger amount of products with significantly lower time. This will help reduce the overall cost of production in the long run. Business owner need to consider this and calculate whether the initial investment that needed to be made to install the technology will worth the value in the long run.

Nature of the products consisted of all the characteristics that our products process. For example food products tend to not have a long shelf life unlike fashion product. This difference in characteristics influence the type of production method that business owners could implement.

For example, It is impossible for business owners to mass produce produce food products with the expectation that it can maintain their quality in the warehouse, but producer of fashion products could make that expectation.

defon

Answer:

The answer is B. -97.7.

Explanation:

As the question gives us the spot rate, the interest rates of two countries, We can apply the covered interest parity to calculate the 90-day forward exchange rate JPY/AUD from which 90-day forward points can be derived.

F = S x ( 1+ Rjpy) / ( 1+ Raud); in which Rjpy denoted as JPY interest rate ( 0.15% per annum) while Raud is AUD interest rate ( 4.95% per annum).

F = 82.42 x (1+ 0.15% x 90/360) / ( 1 + 4.95% x 90/360) = 81.443

=> The 90-day forward points is : 100 x ( F-S) = 100 x ( 81.443 - 82.42) = -97.7

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

A. $36.55

B. 5116 units

C. 7114 units

Explanation:

Requirement 1: Weighted average contribution margin per unit

Lens A = $38 x 25% = $9.5

Lens B = $30 x 40% = $12

Lens C = $43 x 35% = $15.05

Total Contribution margin per unit = $36.55

Requirement 2: Breakeven if fixed cost is $187,000

Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / Contribution per unit

Break even point (units) = 187,000/36.55

Break even point (units) = 5116 units

Lens A = 5116 x 25% = 1279 units

Lens B = 5116 x 40% = 2046 units

Lens C = 5116 x 35% = 1791 units

Requirement 3: How many units to be sold to generate $73,000 profit

Required units = Fixed cost - required profit / contribution per unit

Required units = ($187,000-$73,000)/$36.55

Required units = 7114 units

Lens A = 7114 x 25% = 1779 units

Lens B = 7114 x 40% = 2846 units

Lens C = 7114 x 35% = 2489 units
