Answer:

Ship two-day using A ship

Explanation:

It is given that :

Total number of boxes to be shipped = 360 boxes

Cost of annual holding  = 31%

                                       = 0.31

Price for each box = $ 146

∴ Cost of total boxes = 146 x 360

                                    = $52,560

∴ Total holding cost = 0.31 x 52560

                                  = $ 16,293.60

Now the holding cost for one day = $\frac{16,293.60}{365}$ days

                                                       = 44.640  per day

For shipper A

Shipping cost + days x holding cost

Cost for 2 days = 514 + 2 x 44.640 = $ 603.28

Cost for 3 days = 472 + 3 x 44.640 = $ 605.92

Cost for 9 days = 407 + 9 x 44.640 = $ 808.76

Similarly for shipper B

Shipping cost + days x holding cost

Cost for 2 days = 527 + 2 x 44.640 = $ 616.28

Cost for 4 days = 458 + 4 x 44.640 = $ 636.56

Cost for 7 days = 424 + 7 x 44.640 = $ 736.48

Thus from above we can conclude that choosing Ship A for two days is the correct option.

Answer:

this would cause total costs to Increase and the break-even quantity to Increase.

Explanation:

Total Cost is the Sum of All Manufacturing and Non-Manufacturing  Cost of a product.

Advertising expense before adjustments are at $500. The cost of advertising does not vary with the sales quantities therefore this is a fixed cost.

Therefore an Increase in the advertising expense causes an increase in Total cost figure.

Break even quantity is a function of Fixed Costs divided by Contribution per unit.The break even quantity will definitely change. By increasing the fixed costs (<em>Advertising Expense</em>), the Break even quantity will increase.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

I should not accept the bet; the precise level of risk aversion does matter.

Explanation:

Risk averse person is the one who is not willing to take the risk even if he is given high returns. Risk averse person will always avoid the risks. In the given scenario the person is risk averse. If he rolls out the dice he has to pay $200 times the dice number which means he just have two chance (dice rolls 1 or dice rolls 2) for getting return otherwise he will loose the bet and he will have to pay money from the pocket.

Disappointed. "You can't win in this business. You give

Disappointed by airline industry and the services provided by airline industry is given below

Explanation:

1.Disappointed customerwill not only cost you money but will also create the possibility of bad word-of-mouth, which can affect future sales and money in your pocket.

2.In an airport environment, and in particular in a hub station with the high volume of connecting traffic and increased probability that you will experience some sort of service disruption, this is even more critical. When you get a sandwich you don’t like or your movie freezes or your bed is not made-up to your liking, you are upset and looking for someone to remedy the situation. Once you have established that you will not elevate your tone to match that of the irate customer, you need to do a few more things. You have to listen to the problem and try to see it through the eyes of the customer. He or she will tell you everything you need to know. The actual incident is never at the root of the behavior. The more you are able to convey your empathy for the situation the customer is in – “I was late coming in from New York and I missed the connecting flight to San Francisco, where my sister is getting married tomorrow morning.” – the greater the trust that will develop between you and the customer. More than anything, customers want someone from your company to understand the unfortunate circumstances they have been left in. They want to vent, they want to feel that you have understood and cared about their predicament, and they want a genuine apology. Lastly, they want a solution. They want to see you try to find a fix for their problems, and even if the result is not ideal, they will be brought back to a calm state by your efforts and communication. Maintain good eye contact, let them know what you’re doing, and try to deliver a solution that addresses their concerns. It is not always possible to do this, and companies generally employ a Customer Relations department to handle transactions such as refunds or compensation for situations where the employee and the customer were unable to reach an acceptable resolution at the first point of contact.

3.Essentially, an airline's hard product is the plane itself, and the airline's soft product is the service, food, and the drinks. Hard product can also be non-airplane constituents, such as lounge amenities. Consequently, the food and drinks in the lounge is soft product, while airline lounge showers are hard products.
