<u>efficiency</u>, <u>flexibility.</u>
Explanation:
For the predictable demand, Zara strives for <u>efficiency</u>, and for the unpredictable demand, Zara hopes to achieve <u>flexibility</u><u>.</u>
Zara seeks efficiency for the predictable demand because this type of demand can be programmed and controlled internally, that is, the items of this demand will be used for the production of other items, therefore it is necessary to have an estimate of the future demand, so that can forecast resources to supply demand efficiently.

Answer:
7.31%
Explanation:
The question is pointing at the bond's yield to maturity.
The yield to maturity can be computed using the rate formula in excel as provided below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of times the bond would pay annual coupons which is 31
pmt is the annual coupon payment i.e $1000*8.0%=$80.00
pv is the current price of the bond which is $1,084
fv is the face value of the bond which is $1,000
=rate(31,80,-1084,1000)=7.31%
The yield to maturity is 7.31%
That is the annual rate of return for an investor that holds the bond till maturity.
Answer:
d. Project X
Explanation:
For Project X
Year Net cash outflow Net cash inflow Balance
0 -$77,000 -$77,000
1 $28,000 -$49,000
2 $28,000 -$21,000
3 $28,000 $7,000
4 0 $7,000
Payback period = 2 + $21,000 ÷ $28,000
= 2 + 0.75
= 2.75 years
For Project Y
Year Net cash outflow Net cash inflow Balance
0 -$55,000 -$55,000
1 $2,000 -$53,000
2 $25,000 -$28000
3 $25,000 -$3,000
4 $20,000 $17,000
Payback period = 3 +3,000 ÷ 20,000
= 3 + 0.15
= 3.15 years
Project X has a lesser than 3 year payback period. So, the correct option is D
