Answer:

The average inventory which HG should carry during the year is 5,000 units.

Explanation:

Economic Order Quantity is the ideal inventory procurement which minimizes holding and ordering cost. The EOQ is used by businesses in order to determine the best possible inventory holding.

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2*Annual Demand * Ordering Cost}{Annual Holding Cost} }

EOQ = \sqrt\frac{2*7,500*5,000}{10*0.3}

EOQ = 5,000 units

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cost of equity = required rate of return + flotation cost

The Capital assets pricing model would be used to determined  the required rate of return

<em>The capital asset pricing model (CAPM): relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c  </em>

Using the CAPM , the required rate of return is given as follows:  

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r) - required return

β- Beta

Rm- Return on market

Rf- Risk-free rate

DATA

E(r) =? , Rf- 3%, Rm-14% , β- 1.1, flotation cost - 4%

E(r) = 3% + 1.1× (14% - 3%) = 15.1 %

Cost of equity = required rate of return + flotation cost

                        = 15.1 % + 4% = 19.1 %

Cost of equity = 19.1 %

shtirl [24]

John Kotter’s theory for leading can help business staffs to improve their performance especially in completing assignments and improving teamwork.  His theory centers on eight steps:

1.       Creating urgency to spur change.

2.       Forming a powerful coalition from people of diverse talents.

3.       Make a vision of change that would inspire and rally your group.

4.       Communicate that vision so that all of you understand what needs to be done.

5.       Remove obstacles that would impede your goals.

6.       Create short-term wins that would help in the short run but will contribute in the long run.

7.       Build on change while the momentum is there.

8.       Anchor that change as a model for others to follow.

aalyn [17]

Hey There!:

Sample Mean = 4.4823

SD = 0.1859

Sample Size (n) = 7

Standard Error (SE) = SD/root(n) = 0.0703

alpha (a) = 1-0.99 = 0.01

t(a/2, n-1 ) =  3.7074

Margin of Error (ME) =  t(a/2,n-1)x SE = 0.2606

99% confidence interval is given by:

Sample Mean +/- (Margin of Error)

4.4823 +/- 0.2606 = (4.222 , 4.743)

Hope this helps!

When John first starts his job, he rides the bus wherever he goes. However, after one year, John receives a promotion and a pay
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

<em>An inferior good</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>An inferior good is a good whose demand decreases with consumer's increase in income</em>. John's increase in pay, that came with his promotion, triggered John to switch to driving everywhere he goes instead of riding the bus. This is because John feels that riding the bus is no longer fit for him, now that he could readily afford driving around in the stead of taking the cheaper bus ride.
