The export business in China is growing. Uncle George, who has just returned from a trade expo in Shanghai, has informed you tha

t the port authority of Ningbo expects the demand to reach the same level as Shanghai. The port authority of Ningbo is now deciding how to change its system to accommodate this surge in demand. They have two options, (a) to retire their existing x-ray machine and buy an x-ray machine similar to the one used by the Shanghai port, or (b) to buy another x-ray machine similar to the one they already own and therefore operate the system with two similar machines. Both the options will cost the port authority of Ningbo the same. Purely from the perspective of reducing lead-time, is (a) or (b) better for you? Please show your detailed analysis.

Answer:

Assuming that the capacity of the new X-ray machine is the same as the capacity of two older machines, the difference results from the number of units waiting in line (queue). You would need two different groups of workers to move the containers into the correct position if you use the two older machines, while you need only one group to move them to the new machine. This decreases lead time since coordinating work also requires time, it might be a short time, but it is more time at the end of the day.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Explanation:

Given:

The current spot rate = ¥120.00​/$

in US $/¥ = \frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{120.00}}

or

in US $/¥ = 0.0083

Maturity time = 90 days

                                     Put on Yen                  Call on Yen

Strike Price                     125/$                           125/$

Strike Price in $/¥        0.008                            0.008

Premium                      0.00003/$                0.00046/$

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. ​Regressive coping.

Explanation:

Coping. This concept has been important in the field of psychology for more than 40 years. During the years 1940 and 1950 it meant an organizational concept in the description and clinical evaluation and, at present, it constitutes the center of a whole series of psychotherapies and educational programs that aim to develop adaptive resources. The issue of coping has also received a lot of attention in the media, as can be seen by flipping through the index of any magazine, book sales lists or programming guides. Actually, the word coping is both a colloquial and scientific term. Despite its prolific history and its current popularity, there is still a lack of coherence regarding theories, research and understanding of the subject. Even the most superficial review of what is written by both scholars and laymen, already reveals confusion regarding the meaning of coping and its role in the adaptation process.
