Question Completion with Options:

O sticking closely with the existing business lineup and pursuing opportunities that those businesses present.

O Divesting certain businesses and retrenching to a narrower base of business operations.

O Widening the company's business scope by making new acquisitions in new industries.

Answer:

The broad categories of action for crafting strategic moves to improve a diversified company's overall performance are:

O sticking closely with the existing business lineup and pursuing opportunities that those businesses present.

O Divesting certain businesses and retrenching to a narrower base of business operations.

O Widening the company's business scope by making new acquisitions in new industries.

Explanation:

In addition to pursuing existing business opportunities, a diversified company can increase its performance indexes by divesting itself of certain unprofitable lines of business or slow-growth businesses and focusing its resources on cash cows and stars.  The pursuit of stars will lead it to make new acquisitions in relatively new industries in order to remain attractive to investors, otherwise, it runs the risk of growing into extinction like the historical dinosaur.

Sarah’s Organic Soap Company makes organic liquid soap. One of the raw materials for her soaps is organic palm oil. She needs 90
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

$1905

Explanation:

Here we will have to calculate Economic Order Quantity to lower the ordering ordering and holding cost as much as we can. So here we will use the following formula to calculate the best number of units that we should order, which is as under:

Economic Order Quantity = SquareRoot (2 * Annual Demand * ordering cost per order / Holding cost per unit per year)

Here

Annual Demand = 900kg of palm oil per day  * 52 weeks *  5 day a week / 7

Annual Demand = 900 * 52 * 5 / 7 = 33,429

And

Ordering cost per order = $57 per order

Annual holding cost per unit per year is 20% of $5.25 per kg which is $1.05.

So by putting values, we have:

Economic Order Quantity = Square Root (2 * 33,429 * 57 / 1.05)

Economic Order Quantity = 1905 kgs
