For those brave enough to act effectively now to stabilise and protect your

Answer:

One important financial reporting instrument for measuring and assessing an organisations liquidity risk is the Cash Flows statement. It speaks to the availability of cash in the short term, and or assets that can be readily converted to cash.

In other words, when a business has immediate financial obligations, cash refers to those resources that can be used to satisfy them.

An understanding of cash flows is crucial to business success because it:

provides a clear picture of an organisations cash status or liquidity;

helps business owners plan for how much cash expected in the future and when it is likely to come;

when organisations want to benchmark their performance against one another, it becomes very handy and useful. Banks, for instance, measure the ability of a business to meet it's liquidity requirements as a measure of eligibility to receive additional finance.

One way companies can maintain liquidity during this pandemic is to control overhead expenses. Necessity is the mother of invention. Companies can have their team brainstorm on creative ways to cut down on operational, administrative and production costs. Some costs which can be considered for downward revision are rent, labor costs (such as business performance incentives), professional fees, marketing costs, advertising costs, public relations etc.

Cheers!

How are jobs affected by supply and demand ?Explain how changes in supply and demand couple impact employment and jobs?

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Please see explanation below

Explanation:

a. Just as supply and demand affects any other market, so does it affects jobs too. Take for instance if additional workers are added to the existing workforce while the demand for jobs remains the same; it means that employers would likely pay less which will bring about drop in income to employees hence causes less job stability. On the other hand, if there is an increase in demand for jobs while supply remains the same; then employers will be willing to pay more thereby resulting in higher income for few who are employed hence bring about job stability.

b. Change in demand refers to either an increase or decrease in demand for a particular good or service due to changes in consumer tastes, income level, population, price of substitutes etc; while change in supply is when suppliers decided to either increase or decrease their production or output due to changes in technology, process automation, change in the number of competitors in the market, taxes, production costs etc.

An increase in demand for certain goods or services would necessitate an increase in supply for such goods hence create avenue for producers or manufacturers to employ more people to produce them. Also, a decrease in demand for certain goods or services would result in less goods being produced hence lesser people getting employed to produce such goods.

On the other hand, when producers embraces new technology or process automation , the possibility of producing more goods will be higher while such would result in job losses.

What are the main strengths and weaknesses of each of the competitive strategies: home replication, multidomestic, regional, glo

balu736 [363]

One of the strengths of a home replication strategy is related to the local infrastructure, while its weak point is the need to respond to the local market.

The multidomestic strategy, on the other hand, has as a strong point the relationship with local customers and the possibility of expanding the business. The weak point is related to costs and ethnocentrism.

In a regional strategy, the advantages are related to infrastructure costs and weaknesses in business expansion, unlike global and transnational strategies, where strengths relate to business growth, and weaknesses to costs and local bureaucracy.

<h3 /><h3>What is a competitive strategy?</h3>
