Answer:

The correct answer are A and E.

Explanation:

Cost leadership is where the company intends to be the lowest cost producer in its industrial sector. The company has a broad picture and serves many segments of the industrial sector, and can still operate in related industrial sectors. The breadth of the company is often important for its cost advantage. The sources of cost advantages are varied and depend on the structure of the industrial sector. They can include the persecution of economies of scale of own technology, preferential access to raw materials.

A successful cost leadership strategy is disseminated throughout the company, as evidenced by high efficiency, low overhead, limited benefits, waste intolerance, thorough review of budget requests, extensive control elements, rewards linked to cost concentration and extensive employee participation in attempts to control costs.

Some risks of following cost leadership is that competitors could mimic the strategy, decreasing the profits of the industry in general; that technological advances in the industry could make the strategy ineffective or that the interest of the buyers could be diverted towards other characteristics of differentiation besides the price.

jeyben [28]

Answer:

Annual Savings will be ;

Ordering Cost = $2,993.88

Holding Cost = $661.78

Explanation:

First Calculate the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)

EOQ = √ 2 × Annual Demand × Ordering Cost per Order / Holding Cost per unit

        = √ ((2 × 783× 12 × $31) / ($11 × 32%))

        = 407

Note : Currently the firm orders at 783 crates per month

Savings in Ordering Cost will be :

Savings = Ordering Cost at Current Quantity - Ordering Cost at EOQ

             = (Total Demand / Current Quantity × Ordering Costs) - (Total Demand / Current Quantity × Ordering Costs)

             = (9396/783 × $31) - (9396/407 × $31)

             = $2,993.88

Savings in Holding Cost will be :

Savings = (Current Quantity - Economic Order Quantity) / 2 × Holding Cost per unit

             = (783 - 407) / 2 × ($11 × 32%)

             = $661.78

Which of the following statements is correct? ACars typically lose the most value in the first year after purchase. BHouses will
VashaNatasha [74]

I believe the answer is: A. Cars typically lose the most value in the first year after purchase

As the miles usage in cars increase, the quality of the machine tend to deteriorate, which would lead to the decrease in the cars' value. On top of that, the new model that given by car companies tend to possess better technology/design. On average, cars tend to lose 15 - 25 % in value during the first year.

Inez has a specific set of plans to build a sailboat. the plans are detailed in nature, and any boat builder can build the boat.
navik [9.2K]
<span>Inez is still obligated to accept delivery of the boat because it is still the boat that she contracted out and built to the specifications that she requested. Just because it was contracted out to another company doesn't mean that she didn't get what she wanted for the price she wanted. If she didn't have a specific design then she might have an argument, however she did and it was built to that design specs.</span>

On March 1, 2022, Cullumber Company acquired real estate, on which it planned to construct a small office building, by paying $8
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

$101,200

Explanation:

the cost of land = purchase price of the land + razing expenses - sales of salvaged materials + attorney's fees + broker's fees = $86,000 + $9,700 - $4,400 + $1,500 + $8,400 = $101,200

The cost of the driveways and parking lot are recorded separately (as land improvements), not under cost of land because they can be depreciated.

Architect's fees are generally included in the construction costs of the building, not in the land cost. The architect's fees are covered before the construction starts because you need the blueprints in order to start the construction.
