Answer:

Duffin House

The lowest total shipping cost for which Duffin House can fill the orders is:

= $16,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Orders received from OHaganBooks, Texas = 500 packages

Orders received from FantasyBooks, California = 150 packages

No. of packages in stock at New York Warehouse = 500

No. of packages in stock at Illinois Warehouse = 250

Shipping cost:

New York to Texas: $20;

New York to California: $50;

Illinois to Texas: $30;

Illinois to California: $40

Lowest shipping cost arrangement:

500 packages from New York to Texas at $20 = $10,000

150 packages from Illinois to California at $40 = $6,000

Total shipping cost = $16,000

Other shipping cost arrangement:

150 packages from New York to California at $50 = $7,500

350 packages from New York to Texas at $20 = $7,000

150 packages from Illinois to Texas at $30 = $4,500

Total shipping cost under this arrangement = $19,000

b) The key in making this shipping arrangement is to identify the lowest shipping cost per package.  The order that attracts this shipping cost is taken first.  Then identify the next lowest shipping cost that is feasible and have the order fulfilled accordingly.

The only answer that seems to make sense is to reduce tariffs on imports but this only makes sense if it doesn't adversely affect local producers ie that it is on items which are not locally produced so as  not to compete with the former items but to encourage cheaper goods for sale to assist consumers.

Businesses commonly rely upon groups to make decisions because of the many advantages to group decision making.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The correct answers are letters "A" and "D": More acceptance of the final decision is likely; More information and knowledge are available.

Explanation:

By making decisions in groups, all the members have an opportunity to share their ideas on what and how things should be done. Group decision-making will allow <em>obtaining as much information and knowledge</em> a group can provide. Besides, as the eventual decision will be the result of the mixture of the different ideas proposed, it is more likely than <em>most members of the group will accept the course the group will take</em>.
