Answer:

There are similarities in the way businesses are run, but the management and influencing capacity on both are completely different.

Though during the founding days both the organizations, IKEA and Walmart operated under direct influence of the founders.

Also, power and responsibility is more shared, though there would be some adaptation and conflict changes that is expected, but it is differently structured than Walmart and would not suffer much.

Explanation:

Solution:

Now,

There are similarities in the way businesses are run, but the management and influencing capacity on both are completely different.

Though during the founding days both the organizations, IKEA and Walmart operated under direct influence of the founders.

Where as Walmart still had a lot of key decisions directly made through the founders,

Key global expansion

Key local management

Everything was micro managed from the HQ through Sam.

But after the few years of success, the model of IKEA remained same but they went to several countries and became more regional.

Global decisions were made from The HQ under the direct supervision of Ingvar But all the key regional war was given to a CEO, who had all the decisions to make.

This way there was a lot of power sharing and responsibility distributed. In case of any problem, HQ has interruptions to make it correct.

This implies power and responsibility is more shared, though there would be some issues and adaptation changes that is expected, but it is differently structured than Walmart and would not suffer that much.

Therefore, No the effect would not be similar to that of Walmart leadership transition.

a boy is three years younger than his sister. two years ago he was two-thirds of his sister's age. what are their present ages

padilas [110]

Answer:

The boy: 8 years old

The sister: 11 years old

Explanation:

We assume that the age at present of the boy is x (years old).

As he is younger than his sister 3 years, so that his sister's present age is great than x 3 years

=> Her present age is: x + 3 (years old)

Two years ago, the boy is younger than present two years

=> The boy's age two years ago is: x - 2 (years old)

Similarly, the sister's age two years ago is: (x+3)-2 = x + 1 (years old)

As given, two years ago he was two-thirds of his sister's age, so that we have:

<em>The boy's age two years ago = </em> $\frac{2}{3}$ <em> × the sister's age two years ago</em>

⇒ $x - 2 = \frac{2}{3}(x+1)$

⇒ $x - 2 = \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{2}{3}$

⇒ $x - \frac{2}{3}x = \frac{2}{3} + 2$

⇒ $\frac{1}{3} x = \frac{8}{3}$

⇒ $x = \frac{8}{3}. 3 = 8$

=> x + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11

So the present age of the boy is 8 years old, of the sister is 11 years old

Grove Inc. is a publicly traded chemical company that reported the following financial statements for the most recent year. $1,0

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

FCFF = $335.50

Explanation:

Formula of Free Cash Flow to the firm ( FCFF) :

FCFF= Net Income+ Interest(1- tax rate)+ Depreciation+ working capital changes- capital investment

Now let us note some critical points and assumptions which are necessary to solve the question.

As the question says that the company will maintain its existing after tax return on capital invested next year, hence that means that the net income for the next year remains the same, which is $140.

It is also that the company expects it's Operating Income(EBIT) to increase by 6% every year, hence it's operating income(EBIT) for the next year will be $250*(1.06)= $265

Tax rate remains the same, that is, (60/200*100)= 30%

As there is no details with respect to working capital changes and any capital investment made, hence it is assumed to zero changes and no additional investment.

It is assumed that the depreciation method being followed is straight line method, hence depreciation value next year would be the same, that is, 150

Now let's finalise our income statement:

EBIT = $265 given in the question

Interest = ( $65) backward calculation

Taxable Income = $200

Taxes (30%) = ($60)

Net income = $140 given in question.

Hence our FCFF will be :

$ 140 + $65*(1-0.30) + $150 = $335.50

Lancelot Manufacturing is a small textile manufacturer using machinehours as the single indirectcost rate to allocate manufactur

zhenek [66]

Answer:

$3,927

Explanation:

For the computation of bid price first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

Manufacturing overhead rate = Overhead cost ÷ Machine hours

= 45,000 ÷ 100,000

= $0.45

Total manufacturing cost charged to the school

= 2,000 + 400 + (900 × 0.45)

= $2,805

Markup cost = $2,805 × 0.4

= $1,122

Bid price of job = Total manufacturing cost charged to school + Markup cost

= $2,805 + $1,122

= $3,927
