Answer:

C, distributed product development

Explanation:

Distributed product development can simply be defined as the distribution of the different parts/components of a product to different firms. Distributed product development is usually done when the best of partners are being consulted over a product. Te other firms usually are the best in the production of the components of the product and as such might not be based in the home country of the product's parent company.

From the above question, it is seen that Donavan is speaking to different companies all of the world as regards his product's components. The companies are the best in what they do and he has to have each of them contribute their best ideas to his product.

Cheers.

What is the difference between a direct distribution channel and an indirect
AveGali [126]

The use of intermediaries is the primary difference between the two.

Explanation:

Direct distribution channel is one in which the consumer is directly connected to the manufacturer and there is no use of a distribution system that is separate from them and there are no intermediaries.

The contact between the two is direct.

To the contrary in an indirect  distribution channel there is no direct connection between the manufacturer and the person who is actually buying the product and the business is being mediated by the middlemen.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

Days in Inventory = 63 days

Explanation:

We know,

Days in Inventory = 365 days ÷ Inventory Turnover

Given,

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average Inventory

Inventory turnover = 16,936 ÷ [( $2,410 + 3,430) ÷ 2]

Inventory turnover = 16,936 ÷ (5,840 ÷ 2)

Inventory turnover = 16,936 ÷ 2,920

Inventory turnover = 5.8

Putting the values into the formula, we can get

Days in Inventory = 365 days ÷ Inventory Turnover

Days in Inventory = 365 days ÷ 5.8

Days in Inventory = 63 days

Winston Clinic is evaluating a project that costs $61,500 and has expected net cash inflows of $15,000 per year for eight years.
iragen [17]

Answer:

Payback Period = 4 Years

Net Present value = $15692

Internal Rate of Return = 17.82%

Modified Internal Rate of Return = 14.20%

Explanation:

Payback Period = (Initial Investment / Net Cash inflows)

Payback Period = $61500/15000 = 4 Years

Net Present value using PVIF table value at 11% over the period and discount them given cash flows gives us discounted cash flows.

Year  CF       PVIF 11%,n   Discounted CF

0 -61500  1.000   (61,500)

1 15000  0.901   13,514  

2 15000  0.812   12,174  

3 15000  0.731   10,968  

4 15000  0.659   9,881  

5 15000  0.593   8,902  

6 15000  0.535   8,020  

7 15000  0.482   7,225  

8 15000  0.434   6,509  

Summing up the discounted Cash flows gives us the Net Present value of $15692

Internal Rate of Return:

Using Excel Function IRR @ 17.82% applying it on cash flows gives the rate where Present value of Cash flows is Zero.

Modified Internal Rate of Return:

Modified internal rate of return is at the level of 14.20% as it lower than IRR because it assume positive cash flows invested at cost of capital.
