Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment= $270,000

Cash flow= $60,000

Number of years= 5

Discount rate= 12%

<u>To calculate the net present value (NPV), we need to use the following formula:</u>

NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]:

Cf1= 60,000/1.12= 53,571.43

Cf2= 60,000/1.12^2= 47,831.63

.....

Cf5= 60,000/1.12^5= 34,045.61

∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]= 216,286.57

<u>Now, the NPV:</u>

NPV= -270,000 + 216,286.57

NPV= -53,713.43

Dunstreet's department store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

219 sheets

Explanation:

D = 5000 per year,

d = daily demand = 5000/365 = 13.70 sheets

T = time between orders (review) = 14 days

L = Lead time = 10 days

σd= Standard deviation of daily demand = 5 per day

I = Current Inventory = 150 sheets Service Level

P = 95% (Probability of not stocking out) q=d(L+D)z σ T+L-1

σ T+L-1= square root (T+L)=5 square root 14+10= 24.495

From Standard normal distribution, z = 1.64 for 95% Service Level (or 5% Stock out)

q=13.70*(14+10)+1.64(24.495)-150

= 218.97 →219 sheets

In response to threats from such companies as Amazon, established manufacturers and retailers became "brick-and-click" oriented
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Re-intermediation

Explanation:

Re-intermediation is the method applied by most businesses in using the internet to bring together new customers for a business. The advent of technology can afford business owners the possibility of eliminating physical intermediaries in a business. For example, house agents help people who are seeking for new places to live in, find houses easily. Through the internet, however, landlords can directly advertise their vacant houses, thus eliminating the agent relationship which would have served as an intermediary.

So, when established manufacturers by-pass Amazon (which is an intermediary between buyers and sellers) by adding online services to their existing offerings, they have done a re-intermediation.
