Answer:

C. Ascertaining the extent to which sister business units are making maximum use of the parent company's competitive advantages.

Explanation:

For a diversified company that has many business units, it is important for the sister units to provide opportunities that make more profit for the business.

These opportunities are generated by the ability of each sister unit to have a unique competitive edge not shared by other business units.

In analysing cross business competitive advantage among sister units, we don't consider which sister business units are making maximum use of the parent company's competitive advantages.

This is because the company's competitive advantage is a trait shared by all the business units. It does not show a unique competitive edge of sister units.

mojhsa [17]

Answer: 0.1282

Explanation:

Total number of possible outcome( total candidates) = 13

Total number of men = 13 - 8 = 5

Total number of women = 8

Number of candidates to be selected = 2

Find the probability that both are men :

Probability of 1st candidate being a male = required outcome ÷ total possible outcome = 5/13

Probability of second candidate being a male, means we now have 4 men left and a total of 12 = 4/12

Therefore, P = (5/13) × (4/12)

P = (5/13) ×(1/3) = 5/39 = 0.1282

VikaD [51]

Answer:

3.10; 1.53

Explanation:

Total  Current Assets:

= Cash + Receivables + Inventory + Other Current Assets

= $99 + $91 + $179 + $15

= $384 million

Total Current Liabilities:

= Accounts Payable + current portion of long-term debt

= $92 + $32

= $124 million

Current Ratio:

= Total Current Assets ÷ Total Current Liabilities

= $ 384 ÷ $ 124

= 3.10

Acid Test Ratio:

= (Cash + Accounts Receivables ) ÷ Current Liabilities

= $(99 + 91) ÷ $124

= 1.53

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

$8150

Explanation:

As the perpetual inventory system used for determining the Cost of Goods Sold is LIFO (lastminus-in, firstminus-out), we should consider that the first goods sold are the ones purchased last. So, from the total of 175 units sold, 115 are the ones purchased later (at a $50 cost) and 60 belong to the units purchased first (at $40 cost).

So to determine the total Cost of Goods Sold is 50*115+60*40= $8150
