Answer:

The correct answer is the option B: Activity B.

Explanation:

First of all, the term <em>''bottleneck''</em> in the management area refers to the activity or process in a chain of processes that its limited capacity reduces the capacity of the chain in its whole.

Once said that, in the case presented, where there are four workers and two of them have to do two differents tasks then the activity consider the bottleneck of the process will be the one in where one person does an activity after another and that reason makes that person delates more in working. That is the case of the activity B, where Aaron has to work again after the first activity and that takes him and Betty five minutes full, while in the other case where Betty works with David they only take four minutes, so therefore that the activity B is the bottleneck of the process.

The operating revenues of the three largest business segments for Time Warner, Inc., for a recent year follow. Each segment incl
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Time Warner, Inc.

a.

                                     Turner      Home Box Office  Warner Bros.   Total

Segment Revenues

(in millions)                  $21,700            $22,200         $80,600      $124,500

Variable costs                 4,774                10,434           25,792           41,000

Contribution margin  $16,926               $11,766        $54,808        $83,500

Contribution ratio     78% (100 - 22)    53% (100 -47) 68% (100 -32)   67%

b. Certainly, Turnover and Warner Bros. are more profitable businesses than Home Box Office in terms of total contribution margin (dollars) and contribution margin ratio.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Segment Revenues

(in millions)

Turner (cable networks and digital media) $21,700

Home Box Office (pay television) 22,200

Warner Bros. (films, television, and videos) 80,600

Assume that the variable costs as a percent of sales for each segment are as follows:

Turner 22%

Home Box Office 47%

Warner Bros. 32%

b) The contribution margin ratio for the three segments can easily be determined by subtracting the variable costs percentages from 100 for each segment instead of doing more computations (Contribution margin/Sales Revenue * 100).  But the results are the same for either method.

Kay &amp; Maggie's, a beauty salon, is conducting a survey to find out how satisfied its customers are with the service provided
SashulF [63]

Answer:

It is both qualitative data and primary data.

Explanation:

Qualitative data is data that is not expressed in numerical values. Kay & Maggie are asking for opinons in the survey and interviews. These opinons are not numbers, they are words, language, therefore, they are qualitative.

It is primary data because Kay & Maggie are collecting the information directly from the desired source, the customers, instead of collecting the data from a third party.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

GANTT refers to a chart that was developed by Henry L. Gantt, who was an american engineer and a social scientist, and is thus named after him. This chart is used to describe and illustrate various scheduled activities and the duration that each activity might take to complete. There is no full form for this word "GANTT". Therefore, the statement is false.
