This is the full question
Choose one of the Web sites listed in the previous question and identify three ways the company has reduced its transaction costs by using a Web site to provide information. List these three transaction cost-reduction elements and write a paragraph in which you discuss one transaction cost-reduction opportunity that you believe that company has missed.
Answer:
I visited the Netflix website. I do not own a netflix account. Netflix has the following cost-reduction opporunities on its webpage:
- Clear information about the costs of the streaming service.
- Clear Frequently Asked Question section explaining about the nature of the service, and the terms of the contract in case you decide to purchase the service.
- Very nice visual interface without clutter.
One transaction cost-reduction opportunity that Netflix is missing though is:
- Lack of a preview to see what shows and films are available.
The waiting time at which 10 percent of the people would continue to hold is given as 2.3
<h3>How to solve for the waiting time</h3>
We have to solve for X ~ Exponential(λ).
then E(X) = 1/λ = 3,
= 0.3333
Remember that the cumulative distribution function of X is F(x) = 1 - e^(-λx). ; x is equal to the time in over case
For 10 percent of the people we would have a probability of
10/100 = 0.1
we are to find
P(X ≤ t)
= 1 - e^(0.3333)(t) = 0.1
Our concern is the value of t
Then we take the like terms
1-0.1 = e^(0.3333)(t)
1/0.9 = e^(0.3333)(t)
t = 3 * ln(1/0.9)
= 0.3157
<span>This is a price cap regulation. Because the firm cannot go over a certain price, the price is said to be capped. Regulations like this prevent firms from overcharging their customers, and promote good business ethics. It may slow the growth of the firm, but the cost comes at the benefit of the customer.</span>
Hi!
That's a funny one xD
The correct answer is A
Tell them you are busy now and suggest an alternative time to talk.
The other options are not good because if you just tell them you are bus now, you will lost the client. They will think you are not care for them. You can't tell them to make an appointment with your assistant because they want to talk with you,not the assistance. OMG always keeping the door closed is the worst xD. It shows that you don't welcomed people so you wouldn't have enough client.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
The correct answer is option (d) $1.3 billion.
Explanation:
Given Data:
inventory value under FIFO costing = $2.1 billion
LIFO Reserve for year-end 2013 = $0.6 billion
LIFO Reserve for year-end 2014 = $0.8 billion
LIFO inventory is calculated using the formula;
LIFO inventory value at year-end 2014 = FIFO inventory - LIFO reserve
=$2.1 billion-$0.8 billion
= $1.3 billion
