Answer:

The answer is: I would do a cost benefit analysis to try to determine which option is the best.

Explanation:

In a cost-benefit analysis you examine the pros and cons of taking an action. You estimate all the costs involved in taking that action and all the possible benefits (or profits) that you will receive by taking that action.

A company will usually perform cost benefit analysis to try to decide which investments to make. For instance, I have $1 million to invest in different projects, my cost benefit analysis should tell me in which projects I should invest that return the largest profit.

If you are trying to decide how can you lose weight more efficiently, you would first estimate the costs of each activity. How much time you are going to spend? How much you have to pay or are they free?

Then  you also estimate what benefits you might get form doing each activity. How much weight can I lose by doing each one? Can I save money by doing them? Will I enjoy doing it?

After you have estimated all possible outcomes, you will be able to decide which, if any, activity or activities you should do to lose some weight.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

a. $28.5

b. 12.28%

c.  $29.18

d. 13.09%

Explanation:

a. let current price = p

p*1.10 = 2(1-0.3)+30

= 1.4+30/1.10

= 31.4/1.10

= 28.5

the current price of the stock is approximately 28.5 dollars

b. (30+2 /28.5)-1

= 32/28.5 - 1

= 0.1228

= 12.28%

expected before tax rate is 12.28%

c. 3(1-0.3)+30 / 1.10

= 3*0.7+30/1.10

= $29.18

d. before tax rate of return

= (3$ + 30-29.18)/29.18

= 0.1309

= 13.09%

it is now higher here given that given that a greater dividend causes more tax burden.

Revenue  5000 multiply 6.6   33000            

Unit Level Variable Cost:        

Material Cost  5000 multiply 2.7   -13500    

Labor Cost  5000 multiply 1.2   -6000    

Manufacturing Cost  5000 multiply 1.2   -6000    

Shipping and Handling  5000 multiply 0.3   -1500    

Sales Commission    0

Part b1&b2:                                 Cost to Make  Cost to Buy          

Material Cost                40000*2.7  108000      

Labor Cost                40000*1.2  48000      

Manufacturing Cost  40000*1.2  48000      

Prod Supervisor Salary             72000      

Purchase Cost  40000*6.72               0  268800          

Total Cost                               276000  268800

Part b3:        

                                          Cost to Make  Cost to Buy            

Material Cost  60000 multiply 2.7     162000      

Labor Cost  60000 multiply1.2             72000      

Manufacturing Cost  60000*1.2  72000

Dimas [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is E. Conceptual skills .

Conceptual skills are highly valued from the management perspective. People with a certain degree of responsibility within an organization are frequently exposed to very complex dilemmas that are not easy to address.

We could define conceptual skills as the ability to think creatively, analyze and understand complicated and abstract ideas.

They are skills that are not taught or learned, but manifest in real situations as part of creative thinking.
