Since the first one is apparently easy and other is patented which means both are common else not so common idea will not need patent as people would not be able to create such formula.

Identify the risks exist in the conversion cycle of Central Production Limited.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Authorization of transactions:- Because of unclear subjugation, there is a potential risk of entering a money transfer again and again. To minimize this, all workers should adopt the rules for specific purchases, such as maintaining a set pricing list and guarantee a limited error distance.

Explanation:

The following are the risks which currently exist in the Central Production Limited conversion cycle:-

Lack of a "Maker and Checker" concept:- It is important because it executes the role of a sort account executive to check that the instructions and demands presented are correct and are not replicated. It would be extremely effective that someone in a position of power and authority might supervise certain rates and with certain operations.

Use of Hard-copies:- The production center supervisor will temporarily suspend the use of such hard copies for each production process. It is not only a resource loss, but risks being lost or duplicated as well. It really would give them a better chance if all online requests could be collected which would be far more effective and could be seen by all stakeholders. It will also lead to better leadership and faster distribution of information.

Wastage:- Tests should be in place to determine why additional material is needed above the normal volume, and it should be approved by a senior authority to the superintendent of the production line.

Supply Chain Management:- Interactions between a variety of agencies are too many. Use an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) device to help in streamlining the entire process flow will serve them well.

You are given the following information about equipment that is required for your business. Assume that the equipment will be re

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Machine B EAC is $17,705.78 more than Machine A EAC.

Explanation:

First find the present values of the cost of both machines.

Machine A:

= 200,000 + (15,000 * Present value of annuity interest factor, 15%, 8 years)

= 200,000 + ( 15,000 * 4.4873)

= $‭267,309.5‬0

Machine B

= 300,000 + (17,500 * Present value of annuity interest factor, 15%, 10 years)

= 300,000 + 17,500 * 5.0188

= $‭387,829‬

Equivalent Annual cost Machine A:

= [(NPV * Required return) / 1 - (1 + Required return) ^–Number of Periods

=[(267,309.50 * 15%) / 1 - 1.15⁻⁸

= $59,569.95

Equivalent Annual cost Machine B:

= (387,829 * 15%) / (1 - 1.15⁻¹⁰)

= $77,275.73

Difference:

= 77,275.73 - 59,569.95

= $‭17,705.78‬

You are an economic advisor to the president. You observe a decrease in gross investment. Assume the economy was operating at th

melomori [17]

Answer:

a. Increase in Net Exports, Increase in AD, real GDP will stay same

b. Excess Demand

c. Appropriate Contractionary Fiscal Policy : decrease tax & or increase government expenditure

d. Actions smooth business cycle by brining actual real GDP towards full employment

Explanation:

Aggregate Demand is the total value of goods & services all the sectors of an economy are planning to buy during a given period of time

Aggregate Demand [AD] = Consumption [C] + Investment [I] + Government Expenditure [G] + Net Exports [NX = Exports (X) - Imports (M)]

Aggregate Demand > Aggregate Supply at full employment level is Excess Demand. Aggregate Demand < Aggregate Supply at full employment level is Deficit Demand

Decrease in Investment leads to fall in Aggregate Demand. It creates Deficit Demand & decreases real GDP. It can be corrected through demand expansionary fiscal policy of decreasing taxes & increasing govt. expenditure.

Increase in exports leads to increase in net exports & in turn increase in aggregate demand. This causes Excess demand problem & real GDP will remain same (economy already at full equilibrium, GDP cant be increased more). Appropriate Fiscal Policy [Contractionary Fiscal Policy] includes decreasing taxes & or increasing govt. purchase.

These actions will smooth out business cycle by bringing actual real GDP back to full employment level.
