Explanation:
Blame shifting or differences in departments that are linked in the project might arise where specific resources are assigned tasks in tight time frames. Since resources are specified, this might also lead to professional jealousies, if one resource is working well than the other. This can also hamper team building ideology in the organization, where the fast pacers will feel better than those who didnt perform well in that specific project and negate working with them in future
Given:
Original cost of contributed equipment : 125,000
Accumulated depreciation of contributed : 100,000
Value of similar equipment : 150,000
Agreed upon valuation of contributed equipment : 29,000
The amount that should be debited to the equipment account is 29,000.
It is the current value of the contributed equipment as agreed upon by the partners.
All economic systems must answer the 3 basic questions:
1. What goods and services will be produced
2. How will the goods and services be produced?
3. Who will consume the goods and services?
Answer:
The correct answer is it makes price higher so demand falls, creating excess supply.
Explanation:
In a price floor, their is a floor limit on price. The price level cannot go below this limit. At high price the consumers will demand less, following the law of demand. While the suppliers will supply more, following the law of supply.
So, the supply will be greater than demand creating surplus quantity in the market.
Answer:
a. VRIN test, which asks if a resource is valuable, rare, inimitable, and non-substitutable.
Explanation:
Applying Barney's (1991) VRIN framework can determine if a resource is a source of competitive power. To serve as a basis for sustainable competitive advantage, resources must be:
valuable: meaning that they must be a source of greater value, in terms of relative costs and benefits, than similar resources in competing firms. When resources are able to bring value to the firm they can be a source of competitive power.
rare: rareness implies that the resource must be rare in the sense that it is scarce relative to demand for its use or what it produces. Resources have to deliver a unique strategy to provide a competitive advantage to the firm as compared to the competing firms. Consider the case where a resource is valuable but it exists in the competitor firms as well. Such a resource is not rare to provide competitive power.
inimitable: it is difficult to imitate. Resources can be sources of sustained competitive power if competing firms cannot obtain them. Consider the case where a resource is valuable and rare but the competing organizations can copy them easily. Such resources also cannot be sources of competitive power.
non-substitutable: other different types of resources cannot be functional substitutes. Resources should not be able to be replaced by any other strategically equivalent valuable resources. If two resources can be utilized separately to implement the same strategy then they are strategically equivalent. Such resources are substitutable and so are not sources of sustained competitive power.
The criteria of the VRIN Framework clearly rules out best practices as a source of competitive advantage. If other firms can easily understand and copy a capability, it is not a source of competitive power.
