Question Completion:

Since the options are not provided, it is assumed that ACME requires 2,000 units of Component X monthly.  Which supplier should the company choose?

Answer:

ACME Manufacturing Company

The supplier that should be chosen is:

Supplier A.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Quantity of component X required monthly = 2,000 units

Cost of buying from supplier A = $3,000 + ($2.50 * 2,000) = $8,000

Cost of buying from supplier B = $6 * 2,000 = $12,000

Cost of buying from supplier C = $5 * 2,000 = $10,000

b) This cost decision depends on the quantity of component X required by ACME manufacturing.  If the quantity were to be less than or equal to 1,100 units, another supplier other than supplier A might be preferred.  Again, if there are other considerations apart from cost, supplier A might not be chosen.  The implication is that the choice of a supplier for a component depend on many factors.

You plan to make a series of deposits in an interest-bearing account. You will deposit $1,000 today, $2,000 in 2 years, and $8,0
solniwko [45]

Answer:

$5,641

Explanation:

DEPOSIT NOW  

$1000 * FVIF 9%,8 PERIODS

= $1000 * 1.9926

= $1992.6

IN 2 YEARS

= $2000 * FVIF 9%,6 PERIODS

= $2000 * 1.6771

= $3354.20

IN 5 YEARS

= $8000 * FVIF 9%, 3 PERIODS

= $8000*1.2950

= $10360

WITHDRAWAL: IN 3 YEARS

= ($3000) * FVIF 9%, 5 PERIODS

= ($3000) * 1.5386

= ($4615.80)

IN 7 YEARS

= ($5000) * FVIF 9%, 1 PERIOD

= ($5000) * 1.0900

= ($5450)

Total value = $1992.6  + $3354.20 + $10360  - $4615.80 - $5450

Total value = $5,641

So, the total future value after eight years is $5,641

What elements of the marketplace in which megatech operates led the firm to believe that project management would improve its op
Mariana [72]

   International competitors suddenly appear in greater numbers as a result of the mentioned changes in trade agreements, Megatech now needs to contend with more and new competitors.

<h3>In terms of the marketplace there are three primary types of companies?</h3>

There are three main categories of businesses in the market

international businesses, multinational businesses, and transnational businesses.

International businesses only import and export; they do not have any investments abroad.

        Although multinational corporations have offices or facilities in several different nations, each one operates independently, basically as a separate legal entity.

Organizationally, multinational corporations are far more complex. It is a commercial enterprise that runs big facilities, conducts business internationally, and does not identify with any particular nation as its national home. A multinational company's ability to maintain a higher level of responsiveness to the local market is one of its key advantages.

People want information communicated quickly and clearly. To make your writing more concise and understandable, avoid flabby exp
mash [69]

Answer:

The best revision for the following sentence is:

B) We have identified a problem with our expense sheet, but we will solve it.

Explanation:

In e-mail, letters, messages, memos, and other business documents intended for a busy audience who appreciates getting the information they need quickly and easily, replacing a phrases with a word  in a formal tone, detracting from adding meaning: "we have identified" instead of: "I am sending" or "we need to inform you", keeping the sentence just as it is with certain rhythm and concise.

Otherwise in option 1. I am sending you this letter to inform you that we have experienced an unexpected surprise within our expense sheet, but we are positively certain we will solve it.

The sentence has a redundant pair:  "send" and "inform", it is “wordy,” and includes irrelevant “fillers” as "unexpected" that makes it lack of conciseness in the substantive information, not getting to the point promptly. I also includes passive voice which is not a grammatical error, but it often leads to using more words than necessary frustrating or confusing the audience; and it has prepositional phrases overuse: "that", within", "but" making this sentence clunky and unclear.

In option A) We need to inform you that we have experienced an unexpected surprise with our expense sheet, but we are midway to an end result.

The sentence has unnecessary modifiers: "unexpected" and "end", and passive voice again.

In option C) I am sending you this letter to inform you that we have a problem with our expense sheet, but we are positively certain we have a solution.

The sentence has unnecessary modifier: "positively".
