Answer:
The answer is: Bargaining power of suppliers
Explanation:
Michael Porter developed his Five Forces Framework as a management tool for analyzing competition. It is divided into:
- Threat of new entrants
- Threat of substitutes
- Bargaining power of customers
- Bargaining power of suppliers
- Competitive rivalry
Bargaining power of suppliers: Pressure suppliers can exert on its costumers (individuals or organizations) by raising prices, lowering quality, or reducing availability of their products. When suppliers are strong enough to pressure their customers, usually the buyers will end up paying higher costs due to; higher prices, lower quality or reduced availability of the product.
In this case, since ABC Pharmaceutical is the leader in cancer fighting drugs, they will use their dominant supplier position to raise the price of their product affecting their customers (patients, insurance companies, other health care organizations).
Answer:
$71,340
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of inventory is shown below:
= Purchase value of inventory - discount charges + freight charges
where,
Purchase value of an inventory = $72,000
Discount charges = $72,000 × 3% = $2,160
Freight charges = $1,500
So, the cost of inventory is
= $72,000 - $2,160 + $1,500
= $71,340
The discount terms is 3% if payment is made within 10 days and total time of payment is 30 days instead of 33%
During pre-Civil War times in the United States, banks around the country issued bank notes as a form of currency. The large number of banks led to a large number of diverse bank notes that circulated around the country. Although many banks issued only enough bank notes that could be backed up by specie (gold and silver during the time), riskier banks gave into temptation and issued more than they could cover. This practice caused many people to doubt the exact worth of certain notes and in turn have little faith in some banks.
This is the concept of business mathematics. The question requires us to calculate the profit margin given the that the cost of production is $20, variable cost is $12 and marginal cost is $18. Also we are told that the price per product is $15.
Profit=Revenue-Cost
Revenue=100*15=$1500
Total cost=20+12+18=$50
Therefore the profit margin will be:
1500-50
=$1450
