C. It provides complete visibility of product location
D. Provides access to global markets, suppliers and distribution channels
E. It enables exchange of documents in a standard format
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a software used to organise a business core processes
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is used to exchange business documents in a standardised format electronically 
Types of EDI

- EDI via value added networks (VANs)
- Web EDI 
- Mobile EDI
Advantages of EDI 
- It increases business efficiency 
- It reduces operating costs
Disadvantages of EDI 
- Initial setup cost is usually quite high
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is used to identify and track tags that are attached to items
Barcodes are used as a means of identification of a product. They can identify the country a product is manufactured.
Electronic business (E-business) has accelerated the rate of global integration. It has increased the access to global markets, suppliers and distribution channels. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
5,409 books
Explanation:
to calculate break even point in units we can use the following formula:
break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin per unit
- total fixed costs = $53,000
- contribution margin per unit = sales price - variable costs = $12 - $2.20 = $9.80
break even point in units = $53,000 / $9,80 = 5,408.16 ≈ 5,409 books
in $, that would equal = 5,409 books x $12 per book = $64,908
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a. $880.74
b. 13 years
Explanation:
a.  Conversion ratio = Current Value of bond / Conversion price  = 1,000 / 93.4 = 10.71
Conversion price of bond = 10.71 × 28.60  = $306.31
Coupon = Par value of bond * Coupon rate  = $1,000 * 6.4% = $64
Present value of straight debt is calculated below:
Present Value = $64 × [1-(1+7.4%)^-30 / 7.4%] + [$1,000 / (1+7.4%)^30]
= $64*11.93 + $117.46
= $763.28 + $117.46
= $880.74
.
Therefore, the minimum value of bond is $880.74
b. Conversion ratio = 10.71
Current stock price = $28.6
Suppose number of year the stock will take to reach above $1,140 is t.
Conversion value = Current stock price * Conversion ratio*(1+10.8%)^t
$1,140 = $28.6 * 10.71 * (1.108)^t
(1.108)^t = 3.7218
t = 12.8145 year.
t = 13 years
