NetonBe makes sweaters, which traditionally involved the following steps: dyeing (i.e., into six different colors), knitting of

the dyed fabric into three sizes each (small, medium, and large) and then distributing to the stores. As such, there were 18 different sweater color & size combinations in the end, each with a demand that is normally distributed with a mean of 1,000 and a standard deviation of 100. NetonBe has just developed a new system that allows them to knit a generic color sweater first, and then dyeing this generic sweater. As such, they only need to hold safety inventory for the three sizes, each with an average demand of 6,000. What would be the standard deviation in demand for each of these three generic sweaters?
a) Approximately 600
b) Approximately 300
c) Approximately 245
d) Approximately 60

Answer:

NetonBe

The standard deviation in demand for each of these three generic sweaters is:

a) Approximately 600

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Different sweater color & size combinations in the end = 18

Normally distributed demand mean of size = 1,000

Total demand of sizes = 18,000

Standard deviation of each size = 100

Standard deviation = 10% of mean (100/1,000 * 100)

Standard deviation for the total sizes = 1,800 (18,000 * 10%)

Average demand of new three sizes = 6,000

Total demand for the three new sizes = 18,000 (6,000 * 3)

Therefore, the standard deviation in demand for each of these three generic sweaters will be = 600 (6,000 * 10%)

Overzealous pursuit of wealth, pressure to exceed performance standards, and a culture that values profits more than ethical beh
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

are the primary causes of the majority of unethical business behaviors.

Explanation:

An ethic can be defined as a set of both written and unwritten principles, values or rules of moral conduct that guides (governs) human behaviors. It's a reflection that is typically based on identifying what is good or bad, right or wrong and just or unjust with respect to human behaviors.

Ethical issues are mostly complicated for businesses that operate in the global economy because different cultures have different norms and values.

Generally, some of the fundamental cause of unethical business behaviors across the world are;

I. Overzealous pursuit of wealth

II. Undue pressure on employees or the management to exceed performance standards.

III. A culture that values profits more than ethical behavior.

An ethical climate can be defined as a collection of behaviors that are considered to be acceptable and correct within an organization or business firm. Also, an ethical climate provides the human resources management of an organization with a framework or benchmark on how employee behavioral issues or ethical problems are to be managed or handled within the organization.

Thus, an organization with a strong ethical climate is generally considered to have an effective, conducive, just and optimum working standards for its employees and as such would significantly increase employee trust and commitment.

Reil [10]

Note:

I wasn't able to access the Chester Income Statement but I successfully accessed a similar question Digby.

The Complete Question is as under:

Refer to the HR Reports in the Inquirer. Through past investments in recruiting and training Digby has obtained a productivity index of 109.6%. This means that Digby's labor costs would be increased by 9.6% if it did not have these productivity improvements. This is a competitive advantage that Digby can sustain or even widen further if its competitors have no HR initiatives. Now, refer to the Income Statement in Digby's Annual Report. How much did Digby's productivity improvements save it in direct labor costs (in thousands) last year?

A. $766

B. $29818

C. $3137

D. $3211

Answer:

Option D. $3,137

Explanation:

The Productivity Index of 9.6% shows that if the improvement plan is implemented then the efficiency gains would result in saving of 9.6% of total direct cost. So if we total the direct cost for the year for all of the four products then we have an amount of $32,680 which is given at the second last column.

The amount saved last year would be:

Savings = $32,680 * 9.6% = $3,137

Hence the option C is correct here.

hoa [83]

Answer:

The estimate value of the subject property is $8,269,200

The other information that would be desirable in reaching a conclusion:

The closeness of the property to central business districts as the closer it is the higher the asking price.

The estimate was solely based on revenue, the applicable costs have been ignored.

The average taken might not be a good indication for the subject property because the property might have unique features

Explanation:

The formula for Gross Rent Multiplier is given  Property Price / Gross Monthly Rental Income.

In determining the estimate value of the subject property ,we calculate the gross rent multiplier of the new property,then multiply it  with the annual rental income.

In ascertaining the GRM of the new property we take the average GRM of the two similar properties in the same area.This is because the new property judging from number of units, lies in-between the other two properties.

GRM for Oaks

GRM=$9000000/($550*140)

GRM =116.88

GRM for Palms

GRM=$6,600,000/($650*90)

GRM =112.82

The average GRM=(116.88+112.82)/2

                               =114.85

Subject property price=114.85*(120*$600)

                                     =$8,269,200
