Answer:

The strength of FGD relies on allowing the participants to agree or disagree with each other so that it provides an insight into how a group thinks about an issue, about the range of opinion and ideas, and the inconsistencies and variation that exists in a particular community in terms of beliefs and their experiences ...

Lower taxes, import export tariffs, laws of international business, exemption for shipping from different countries, labor cost differences, financial regulations.

Explanation:

Businesses use many loopholes and rule relaxations to drive up their profits. Lower taxes allow for more investors to find interest and lower import export tariffs make a place a good market.

<u>If the labor is cheap in a different countries the companies ship their product to their and make all the preliminaries for cheap then assemble in the parent country to get a certification.</u>

Companies also use international law loopholes to evade taxes and work around tariffs imposed.

A paint manufacturing company has three factories located in France, Germany, and Spain. The productivity data of the factories

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

France:

Production cost per unit:

= Amount of paint produced ÷ Total input cost

= 4,000,000,000 ÷ $3,500,000

= 1142.85714286

Productivity:

= Production cost per unit ÷ Amount of paint produced

= 1142.85714286 ÷ 4,000,000,000

= 0.0000028571

Germany:

Production cost per unit:

= Amount of paint produced ÷ Total input cost

= 5,500,000,000 ÷ $5,250,000

= 1047.61904762

Productivity:

= Production cost per unit ÷ Amount of paint produced

= 1047.61904762 ÷ 5,500,000,000

= 0.00000019048

Spain:

Production cost per unit:

= Amount of paint produced ÷ Total input cost

= 4,600,000,000 ÷ $5,250,000

= 876.19047619

Productivity:

= Production cost per unit ÷ Amount of paint produced

= 876.19047619 ÷ 4,600,000,000

= 0.00000019048

France is higher than that of the factory in Spain.

Mila [183]

Answer:

Assume that a context switch takes T time. Suggest an upper bound (in terms of T) for holding a spinlock. If the spinlock is held for any longer, a mutex lock (where waiting threads are put to sleep) is a better alternative.

Explanation:

The top limit is to be twice the value of (2xT). Holding the spinlock for a longer time, it will be necessary to put the thread to sleep and get a context switch, so one process awakes the sleeping thread without the need of a second context switch.

In process synchronization, cooperating process can affect or be affected by other processes executing in the system, either directly share a logical address space, both code and data, or be allowed to share data only through files or messages, although concurrent access to shared data may result in data inconsistency. But there are several mechanisms to help the orderly execution of cooperating processes that share a logical address space, so that data consistency is kept.

Answer:

BPR

Explanation:

In this scenario, Chevron identified their desired outputs and then worked backward by examining the supporting processes. They used a holistic approach that led the company to examine the interdependencies among processes used in different business units. This is a Business Process Reengineering (BPR) approach. It is a radical approach and process to redefining a business entity so as to enhance productivity.

The Nite Lite Factory produces two products - small lamps and desk lamps. It has two separate departments - finishing and produc

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

$11.1

Explanation:

We can calculate the factory overhead allocated to a unit using multiple department factory overhead rate methods with an allocation base of direct labor hours. In this method, we will divide the te total overhead cost in direct labor hours consumed in that department.

Solution

Direct Labor Overhead rate for Finishing = $550,000/500,000

Direct Labor Overhead rate for Finishing = $1.10 per hour

Direct Labor Overhead rate for Production = $400,000/80,000

Direct Labor Overhead rate for Production = $5

Overhead for DeskLamps = (Direct labor hours in Finishing x Direct Labor Overhead rate for Finishing + Direct Labor hours in Production x Direct Labor Overhead rate for Production)

Overhead for DeskLamps= (1x$1.10 + 2x$5)

Overhead for DeskLamps= $11.1
