Answer:Environmental Scanning
Explanation: Environmental Scanning is the process of acquiring information about trends, patterns, occasions and relationships related to a business' internal and external surroundings. The function of doing this is to confirm forecasts of internal and external elements that will affect a business' success. It also helps managers, such as Maureen, to identify threats and opportunities that are present in the environment. And in doing so Maureen is then able to decide the future path of her business.
Answer:
Note: The full question is attached as picture below
a. Let X is denoted as company’s monthly demand, P(X=x) is denoted as the probability of the company’s monthly demand.
The expected value is obtained below:
E(X) = (300*0.20) + (400*0.30) + (500*0.35) + (600*0.15)
E(X) = 60+120+175+90
E(X) = 445
b. The expected value of the monthly demand is 445. The each unit demands the revenue to generate is $70 and their cost is $50.
The gain/loss of the company = (300*(70−50)) - (145*50)
The gain/loss of the company = (300*20) - (145*50)
The gain/loss of the company = 6,000 - 7,250
The gain/loss of the company =−$1,250(Loss)
Answer:
$101,269.5
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the weighted-average accumulated expenditures
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures=$202,539* (3/12 + 2/12 + 1/12)
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures=$202,539*0.5
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures=$101,269.5
Therefore In determining the amount of interest cost to be capitalized, the weighted-average accumulated expenditures are $101,269.5
Answer:
Option 2 should be selected
Explanation:
Using a rational approach which option most benefit and have a minimum cost. We will use the break-even level here to decide which option should be selected.
Option 1
Price per call = $30
Variable cost per call = $18
Contribution = Sales - Variable cost = $30 - $18 = $12
Fixed Cost = $15,000
Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution per call = $15,000 / $12 = 1,250 calls
Option 2
Price per call = $30
Variable cost per call = $18 + ( $30 x 10% ) = $18 + $3 = $21
Contribution = Sales - Variable cost = $30 - $21 = $9
Fixed Cost = $9,000
Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution per call = $9,000 / $9 = 1,000 calls
Difference = 1,250 calls - 1,000 calls = 250 calls
Option 2 is better option because it take 250 less calls to reach at break-even in the month. It should be selected.
Answer:
D. Physiological.
Explanation:
Physiological Needs are the establishment of Maslow's hierarchy of needs and incorporate survival needs such as the requirement for sleep, nourishment, air, and proliferation. Physiological needs are the requirements we as a whole need separately for human survival.
