Answer:

The correct answer is Cost Leadership .

Explanation:

The cost leadership strategy means that SouthWest has implemented a series of measures in order to offer its service at a much lower price than the competition, which means getting rid of certain "comforts" of current aviation to incentivize the purchase of tickets offering quality service. This strategy establishes a series of basic criteria that are offered to the client and, in case of requiring something additional, it is offered to him so that he can pay for those "Privileges". For its part, Delta offers its service to a market that seeks comfort, good service and speed on the journey.

The Yum and Yee food truck near the business school serves customers during lunch hour by taking orders and making fresh batches
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Setup time = 2.5 min. per order

Process capacity = 1.09 units/minute

Utilization = 7.5 minutes

Explanation:

The time to cook just one order = 3 minutes

Cooking two orders in a batch = 3.5 minutes

cooking three orders = 4 minutes

bagging and accepting payments = 0.80 minutes

a) Setup time:

Setup time = 3 - 0.5

= 2.5 min. per order

b) Process capacity:

Production = Setup time + ( Processing time * Batch size )

= 2.5 + (0.5 * 6)

= 5.5 minutes

Process capacity = Batch size / Production

= 6 / 5.5

= 1.09 units/minute

c) Utilization:

Batch size = 10

Production = Setup time + (Processing time * Batch size)

= 2.5 + (0.5 * 10)

= 7.5 minutes

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

$320,000

Explanation:

As we know that the

Comprehensive Income = Operating profits + Unrelated profits

The unrelated profits here is profit generated arising due to the sale of debt securities which is not the core operation of the company and hence is unrelated profits.

So by putting values we have:

Comprehensive Income =  ($800,000 - $600,000 + $90,000)  + $30,000

Comprehensive Income =  $320,000
