Answer:
From the given variables, an outsider might be able to understand roughly 35% of the organization's culture.
Explanation:
Culture is ultimately a state of mind, a mode of perception and a collective conscious.
Symbols, Ceremonies, dress and other observable aspects of culture reflects a certain degree of the internal culture, yet to understand it full, it is vital to observe the human behavior and the inter relationships within the organization.
Moreover, the power distance between ranks, distribution of authority and responsibilities, reward systems, means of communication and organizational goals also influences the culture within a company. These aspects are difficult for an outsider to see as they do not stay inside and get exposed to the internal environment of the organization.
Answer:
If Blue ridge decides to purchase the parts instead of manufacturing them, their total costs will increase by $21,300
Explanation:
currently Blue Ridge's costs are:
variable costs = $69,000
fixed costs = $69,000
total $138,000
total cost per unit = $138,000 / 45,000 units = $3.0667 per unit
if Blue Ridge decide to outsource the production of the parts:
variable costs = 45,000 x $4 = $180,000
decrease in fixed costs = $69,000 x -30% = -$20,700
total costs = $159,300
If Blue ridge decides to purchase the parts instead of manufacturing them, their total costs will increase by ⇒ $159,300 - $138,000 = $21,300
Answer:
O'Hara Marine Co.
Depreciation Expense is:
$13,903
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
sales = $75,500;
costs = $35,200;
addition to retained earnings = $9,580;
dividends paid = $8,420;
interest expense = $2,620;
tax rate = 23 percent
Net Income:
addition to retained earnings = $9,580;
dividends paid = $8,420
Total net income = $18,000
Pre-tax Income = $18,000/0.77 = $23,377
Income tax (23%) of $23,377 = $5,377
After Tax Income = $18,000 ($23,377 - 5,377)
Depreciation:
sales = $75,500
costs = $35,200
Gross profit = $40,300
Less interest (2,620)
Less net income (23,777)
Depreciation = $13,903
The Seven Dream concept of the Seven Eleven convenience store is a good supply chain concept that targets e-commerce customer. While most of the e-commerce portal are successful these days, 7 Dream comes as an unique inception. This allows customer to order via online and collect from the store deliveries at their convenience as well. The concept is seem to be more preferred in Japan, where customers have preference towards store delivery of the shipped goods. In fact, the 7- eleven in Japan is more successful than any other countries where the franchise has its stores open.
From the supply chain perspective, I think 7dream concept will be more successful in Japan than in USA. The reason being the urban customer of Japanese market and convenient access for them to store and pick up. For place like USA, where population is sparsely distributed to large area, this supply chain concept will not be very effective. For Suburban population, this model will be very inconvenience as they have to drive a long way to store to collect their deliveries, which they could have easily got home delivered via other such services.
Answer:
B) the other firm does not view the announcement as credible
Explanation:
The reason is that the other firm thinks that the announcing firm will make losses as it will not be able to sell the products in an imperfect market where both the firms have identical cost functions and knew all about the cost. So increasing the production when the demand is the same will decrease the price of the product and result in increased losses to the announcing company.
