Answer: 45 containers
Explanation:
The number of containers needed is calculated by:
= (Expected demand during Lead time + Safety Stock) / Container Capacity
Expected demand during Lead time = Daily demand * Lead time
= 2,500 * 3
= 7,500 units
Safety stock = 1.5 days * 2,500
= 3,750 units
Number of containers needed:
= (7,500 + 3,750) / 250
= 45 containers
Answer: b. The duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets
Explanation:
Since the company wants to structure its assets and liabilities such that its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk, then the duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets.
It should be noted that when the duration of its liabilities is shorter than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is positive and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of assets will be affected more.
When duration of its liabilities is longer than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is negative and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of liabilities will be affected more.
Finally, when the duration of its liabilities is equal the duration of its assets, its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk.
Answer:
D. Economic value created.
Explanation:
The reason is that the economic value created is the difference between the price the customer is willing to pay and the cost that the product actually costs to the firm.
Following is the formula for calculation of economic value created:
Economic Value Created = Value customer willing to pay - Cost of product
Here the television costs $400 to the firm and the customer is willing to pay $600 for the television. So by putting the values we have:
Economic Value Created = $600 - $400 = $200
So the correct option is option D.
Transitional epithelium
<span>Transitional epithelium is a tissue made of many layers of epithelial cells that can expand when filled with fluid or contract when there's a lack of fluid. It is thus 'transitional' since it does not have a fixed shape of form. When the bladder is full, the t</span>ransitional epithelium lining it expands to contain urine. Whereas, when the bladder is empty, the transitional epithelium lining contracts and flattens in shape.
