Answer: late in the supply chain
Explanation:
Assemble to order refers to a strategy whereby the products ordered by customers are manufactured quickly while they are customizable to an extent
Even though the basic parts of the product are manufactured already, they're not yet assembled until an order comes in.
If a process that has limited flexibility, shorter lead times, and cheaper products, customization most likely is occuring late in the supply chain.
You said that S = 2(lw + lh + wh)
Divide each side by 2 : S/2 = lw + lh + wh
Subtract 'lh' from each side: S/2 - lh = lw + wh
Factor the right side: S/2 - lh = w(l + h)
Divide each side by (l + h) : (S/2 - lh) / (l + h) = w
Answer:
The firm's unleveraged beta is 1.0251
Explanation:
Hamada's equation is used to separate the financial risk of a levered firm from its business risk.
The Hamada equation:
Bu= Bl/(1 + (1 − T)(D/E))
Bl = 1.4
wd = 0.36
Tax rate = 35%
D/E = wd / (1 – wd) = 0.5625 = 56.25%
= 1.4/ (1+(1-0.35)(0.5625))
=1.4/ 1 + (0.65)(0.5625)
=1.4/1.36
= 1.0251
