Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.

Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.

Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of trademarks, copyright and patents.

In this scenario, Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company.

Since Gidgit is patented it cannot be sold to the government because it is a registered intellectual property that cannot be used or sold without the approval or consent of the owner.

Which has a higher flow rate? 10 customers arriving over two hours or 10 customers arriving over three hours?
Tcecarenko [31]

The one that gives a higher flow rate is: 10 customers over 2 hours. The flow rate is 5 customers per hour.

Flow rate is defined as the number of flow units that pass through the business process per unit time.

The flow unit can be money, customers, products, parts, services, etc.

Example of flow rate is number of customers serviced per hour, number of parts produced per minute, etc.

From the definition, the flow rate can be expressed as:

             Flow rate = number of flow unit / time interval

There are 2 scenarios in the given problem.

  • Scenario 1:

Flow unit = 10 customers

Time interval = 2 hours

Hence, the flow rate in scenario 1 = 10/2 = 5 customers per hour

  • Scenario 2:

Flow unit = 10 customers

Time interval = 3 hours

Hence, the flow rate in scenario 2 = 10/3 = 3.33 customers per hour

By comparing the above scenarios, the one that gives higher flow rate is scenario 1, 10 customers over 2 hours.

A produce distributor uses 783 packing crates a month, which it purchases at a cost of $11 each. The manager has assigned an ann
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Annual Savings will be ;

Ordering Cost = $2,993.88

Holding Cost = $661.78

Explanation:

First Calculate the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)

EOQ = √ 2 × Annual Demand × Ordering Cost per Order / Holding Cost per unit

        = √ ((2 × 783× 12 × $31) / ($11 × 32%))

        = 407

Note : Currently the firm orders at 783 crates per month

Savings in Ordering Cost will be :

Savings = Ordering Cost at Current Quantity - Ordering Cost at EOQ

             = (Total Demand / Current Quantity × Ordering Costs) - (Total Demand / Current Quantity × Ordering Costs)

             = (9396/783 × $31) - (9396/407 × $31)

             = $2,993.88

Savings in Holding Cost will be :

Savings = (Current Quantity - Economic Order Quantity) / 2 × Holding Cost per unit

             = (783 - 407) / 2 × ($11 × 32%)

             = $661.78

maria [59]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the options for this question. However, we can answer the following.

This scenario best illustrates forward integration.

This is a case of forward integration because BlockWood Inc., which was facing similar difficulties with other buyers too, eventually stopped supplying raw materials and took to manufacturing furniture instead. SO they decided to fabricate their own furniture.

Companies make this decision as a process of vertical integration to expand and grow their business. In this case to produce and control their own products, eliminating the retailer that had decided to pay less money for the raw materials.

So now, Blockwood Inc. has the challenge to design and sell the products it is fabricating.
