Answer:

b. The key to mass customization is postponement.

Explanation:

In many mass markets, companies are facing a predicament. On the one hand, customers are demanding that their orders be fulfilled ever more quickly. On the other hand, they are demanding highly customized products and services. Even without trying to customize their products, most companies have found it difficult to fulfill orders swiftly and at an acceptable cost. Is it possible, then, to mass-customize products, deliver them rapidly, and at the same time reduce costs?

The KEY TO MASS CUSTOMIZING EFFECTIVELY IS POSTPONING the task of differentiating a product for a specific customer until the latest possible point in the supply network (a company’s supply, manufacturing, and distribution chain). Instead of taking a piecemeal approach, companies must rethink and integrate the designs of their products, the processes used to make and deliver those products, and the configuration of the entire supply network. By adopting such a comprehensive approach, companies can operate at maximum efficiency and quickly meet customers’ orders with a minimum amount of inventory.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": The key to mass customization is postponement.

Explanation:

Mass customization refers to manufacturing goods in large scales tailoring certain features to meet consumers' special demands. While engaging this type of production, companies prefer the postponement of orders because customization could take time to process. This opposes regular mass-scale production where firms worry only for manufacturing goods and delivering them to retailers as soon as they request it.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

D) The extra energy benefits Patrick gets from another can are no longer worth the cost. MB/MC (S)

Explanation:

The optimal quantity for Patrick to consume is 5 cans of GreenCow.

This is the quantity where MARGINAL BENEFIT EQUALS MARGINAL COST. For all quantities up to the 5th, the marginal benefit is higher than the marginal cost. This means that Patrick's net benefit is increasing, and consuming all units up to this point make him better off.

If Patrick were to consume any more than 5 cans of GreenCow, the cost of each additional can would be higher than the additional benefit (because the marginal cost curve is higher than the marginal benefit curve). Consuming any cans beyond the 5th, therefore, makes him worse off.

What will happen to the trade balance and the real exchange rate of a small open economy when government purchases increase, as

kkurt [141]

Answer: When a government purchase increases during a war, be it a local war or a world war. it means that it's savings has reduced, therefore the trade balance will fall. And if the purchase is done to import more goods into the country, the trade balance becomes negative, leading to a deficit.

The exchange rate of the currency will reduce because the country the government is making more currency to be available and surplus, by increasing it's purchase. When they is excess currency in the world market, the currency reduces it value. In a world war, or local war, the exchange rate may not actually reduce because, it will be difficult for the country to have enough money to make its currency to be available in the world market.
