Answer:
C. An auction market
Explanation:
Option A is wrong because merchant wholesalers purchase any products directly from the manufacturers and sell those to the retailers, or consumers. In that case, buyers and sellers do not need to come together to complete a transaction.
Option B is incorrect as the warehouse club is recognized as a retail store where customers can purchase bulk products to reduce the expenses. In that case, only sell is the motive.
Option D is wrong because drop shippers cannot hold the inventory to their stocks. Therefore, customers and manufacturers will not come together.
<u><em>Option C</em></u> is correct because, in an auction market, the buyer and the seller have to come at the same time to complete a transaction. In that market, the buyer will directly negotiate with the seller to purchase a product or something else.
Answer:
Break-even sales = $800,000.
Explanation:
<em>The beak-even point is the units of products to be sold or number of customers to be served to enable a business to cover exactly its total cost from the revenue. At the break-even point, the business makes no profit or no loss because the contribution from sales exactly equals the total fixed cost</em>
<em>Break-even in sales revenue = Total fixed cost/Contribution margin</em>
<em>Contribution margin (%) = Contribution/ sales × 100</em>
= 160,000/640,000
= 0.25 × 100
= 25%
<em>Fixed cost = Contribution - operating income</em>
= 160,000- -( 40,000)
= 160,000 + 40,000
= 200,000
<em>Break-even point sales = 200,000/25%</em>
= $800,000.
Answer:
a. What are the maximum and minimum cycle times?
The maximum cycle time is 60 minutes and the minimum cycle time is 2.4 minutes.
b. How much daily output will be achieved by each of those cycle times?
Daily output = CT = A/R
For max CT = 480/60 = 8 units per day
For min CT = 480/2.4 = 200 units per day.
2. In problem 1, suppose the line is balanced using 14 workstations and a finished product can be produced every 4.5 minutes.
a. What is the production rate in units per day?
CT = A/R or 4.5 = 480/R or R = 106.66 units/day
b. What is the assembly-line efficiency?
Efficiency = 60/[4.5(14)] =0.95 or 95.2% percent efficiency.
I I’m not sure but I think B
Could you be more specific on what you mean by automotive? Thanks!
