Answer:
2.64 minutes per cycle
Explanation:
Total work time = 367 minutes per day
Break time = 17 min*3 = 51 min
Lunch time = 60 min
Total time left = 367 - 51 - 60 = 256 min
Demand = 97 jobs a day
Takt time = Total production time available/Demand
Takt time = 256 / 97
Takt time = 2.639175257731959
Takt time = 2.64 minutes per cycle
Answer:
a. Weighted average flotation cost
= FCE(E/V) + FCD(D/V)
= 7(100/170) + 4(70/170)
= 4.12 + 1.65
= 5.77%
V = E + D
V = 100 + 70 = 170
b. Flotation cost of debt financing
= 4% x $18 million
= $0.72 million
True cost of the building after taking flotation cost into account
= $18 million + $0.72
= $18.72
Explanation:
The weighted average flotation cost is the flotation cost of equity multiplied by the proportion of equity in the capital structure plus flotation cost of debt multiplied by proportion of debt in the capital structure. The total market value is 100 + 70 = 170. Since the debt-equity ratio is 0.7. Debt takes 70 while equity takes 100. The proportion of equity in the capital structure is 100/170 while the proportion of debt in the capital structure is 70/170.
Answer:
lead users.
Explanation:
Remember products are made for customers, and when customers provide helpful feedback that leads to new products or applications of products it's even better.
Lead users provide a lead to product success. They are good at providing feedback for free, like what needs to added or removed etc.
It is important to note that most big companies rely on customer feedbacks for new product launches.
The answer is: D. Increasing the capacity of the bottleneck increases capacity for the whole system
Companies who use bottleneck management would stock large number of their products in their disposal before eventually release them to the consumers on a large scale.
Increasing the capacity of the bottle neck does not necessarily increase the capacity of the whole system because there are limits on how much the employees (specifically the sales department) could sell. There is always a huger risk of overstock that could resulted in a huge loss for the company.
Answer:
The short answer to that is No, Starbucks will not change its foreign market entry strategy.
Explanation:
The reasons are as follows:
- did Howard Schultz lose his shares when he stepped down? This is highly unlikely and according to the rules of corporate governance may depend on his contract. So stepping down as the chairman does not necessarily translate to losing control.
- Corporations such as Starbucks: don't just up and change direction. Strategies are usually vetted by the board of directors. Whoever the majority shareholder is (corporate person or individual) will always have a say regarding the expansion of the business.
- Howard Schultz has stepped down in 2018. At that time, Starbucks had a total of 28,000 stores in 77 countries. Currently, there are 15,000 in 50 countries. This reduction didn't happen because Howard stepped down but because of the recent pandemic which hit the globe in 2020.
