Answer:

1. The need to specify "not necessarily" delay the project implies that the presence of positive slack or float enables a project to be completed without regard to the noncritical path activity.

2. A project necessarily possesses some form of deadline because deadlines help a project team to collaborate toward achieving the shared goal.  Another reason for a deadline is to keep complex projects on track. Deadlines also help to set project delivery expectations. Deadlines eliminate confusion in the execution of projects.  A project without a deadline looks meaningless and unimportant.

3. Task C's early finish time = 7 days.

4. The slack in task E = 2 days.

Explanation:

a) Task C's immediate predecessors = Tasks A and B

Task A's early finish time = 3 days

Task B's early finish time = 5 days

Task C's duration = 2 days

Therefore, task C's early finish time = 5 + 2 = 7 days

b) Task E's early start time = 3 days

Task E's early finish time = 5 days

Task E's late start time = 10 days

Task E's late finish time = 12 days

Slack in task E = 5 - 3 = 2 days

c) Task E can be finished in 3 days (e.g. from day 10 to day 12), but it was allocated an early completion time of 5 days.  This implies that there is a slack of 2 days.

How would the number of firms competing in a particular market affect the likelihood that an exporter to that market would be ac
professor190 [17]

Answer:

We can assume companies form country A export to country B. Country B's economy is very large and many domestic and foreign firms compete in it. High levels of competition will eventually lower the costs of products sold in a market, so the products sold in Country B have relatively low prices.

In order for foreign companies to compete in country B's market they must have low prices. So companies from country A will sell its products in country B at low prices, increasing the possibility that the price of their exports are lower than their domestic prices (prices for their own country). Therefore the chance for a dumping accusation increases.

Finger [1]

Answer:

a.

Date                     Account Title                                          Debit             Credit

Jan. 31                 Product Warranty Expense                 $15,160

                            Product Warranty Payable                                        $15,160

<u>Working:</u>

Product warranty expense = Amount of sales for January * Estimated product warranty

= 379,000 * 4%

= $15,160

b.

Date                     Account Title                                          Debit             Credit

Jan. 31                 Product Warranty Payable                     $355

                            Supplies                                                                     $250

                            Wages payable                                                          $105

The costs of the warranty will be taken from the liability account for warranties  because the warranty payable account represents that the company owes warranty repairs which the customer just came to collect.
