g Taraj is considering changing careers. She has heard about opportunities with supply chain, but is unsure what the industry really is. How would you describe a supply chain?
Answer:
A supply chain refers to a network that involves the production and delivery of goods or services from the manufacturer to the end user (consumer).
Explanation:
Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers. Generally, the supply chain management involves all the activities associated with planning, execution and supply of finished goods and services to the consumers.
The key principle of supply chain management can be best summed up as collaboration between multiple firms. These multiple firms include a company that is saddled with the responsibility of manufacturing, a wholesaler, and a retailer who typically sells the products to the customers or consumers.
Basically, these three (3) firms or individuals are required to collaborate with each other so as to meet the needs of the customers in a timely manner or fashion and at a fair price too.
Generally, the four (4) stages of a supply chain include the following;
I. Supply management.
II. Supply chain management.
III. Supply chain integration.
IV. Demand-supply collaboration.

Juanita makes $16 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her dress, so each hour away from work costs her $16 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling. Complete the following table by computing the opportunity cost of Juanita's time and the total cost of shopping at each location.
Store Opportunity Cost of Time (Dollars) Price of a Dress (Dollars per dress) Total Cost (Dollars)
Local Department Store 103
Across Town 85
Neighboring City 63
Answer:
Juanita makes $16 an hour at work so every hour away will cost her $16 in lost wages.
Local store
Opportunity costs would be the lost wages:
= ( Number of hours spent travelling * Wage per hour) + (Number of hours spent shopping * Wage per hour)
= ( 15/60 hours * 16 * 2 for the round trip) + (30/60 mins * 16)
= $16.00
Total cost = Opportunity cost + Price of dress
= 16 + 103
= $119
Across TownOpportunity cost
= ( 30/60 hours * 16 * 2 for the round trip) + (30/60 mins * 16)
= $24.00
Total cost:
= 24 + 85
= $109
Neighboring cityOpportunity cost:
= ( 60/60 hours * 16 * 2 for the round trip) + (30/60 mins * 16)
= $40.00
Total cost:
= 40 + 63
= $103
Mohave Corp. is considering outsourcing production of the umbrella tote bag included with some of its products. The company has received a bid from a supplier in Vietnam to produce 8,000 units per year for $7.50 each. Mohave has the following information about the cost of producing tote bags:
Direct materials $3
Direct labor 2
Variable manufacturing overhead 1
Fixed manufacturing overhead 2
Total cost per unit $8
Mohave has determined that all variable costs could be eliminated by outsourcing the tote bags, while 60 percent of the fixed overhead cost is unavoidable. At this time, Mohave has no specific use in mind for the space currently dedicated to producing the tote bags.
Required:
1. Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the umbrella tote bag.
2. Based strictly on the incremental analysis, should Mohave buy the tote bags or continue to make them?
3. Suppose that the space Mohave currently uses to make the bags could be utilized by a new product line that would generate $10,000 in annual profits. Recompute the difference in cost between making and buying the umbrella tote bag. Does this change your recommendation to Mohave? If so, how?
4. Assume Mohave has a sustainability goal to increase the percentage of spending from local suppliers. If Mohave’s managers are responsible for improving this metric, how might it impact their sourcing decisions?
5. What other strategic or sustainability-related goals should Mohave consider before making a final decision?
Answer:
Mohave Corp.

Preferred stock is a hybrid security because it has some characteristics typical of debt and others typical of equity. The following table lists various characteristics of preferred stock. Determine which of these characteristics is consistent with debt and which is consistent with equity.
Characteristics Debt Equity
Dividends are fixed.
Usually has no specified maturity date
At the present time, Tamin Co. does not have any preferred stock outstanding but is looking to include preferred stock un its capital structure in the future. Tamin has found some institutional investors that are willing to purchase its preferred stock issue provided that it pays a perpetual dividend of $13 per share. If the investors pay $130.45 per share, Taemin's cost of preferred stock will _____.
a. 11.5%
b. 10.0%
c. 9.5%
d. 9.0%
Answer:
Dividends are fixed. ⇒ Consistent with Debt
Fixed dividends makes preferred shares consistent with debt because debt repayments are made in equal payments as well.
Usually has no specified maturity date ⇒ Consistent with Equity.
Equity has no set maturity date unlike debt and preferred stock has no maturity date either so is much like equity in this regard.
Cost of preferred stock.
Preferred stock is like a perpetuity. The cost of preferred stock is therefore:
= Constant dividend / Price of stock
= 13 / 130.45
= 9.97%
= 10%

You have been asked to create a synthetic short position in a forward contract that permits you to sell 10 units of the underlying one year from now at a price of $50 per unit. (1) Describe the positions you need to take in call and put options to achieve the synthetic short forward position. (2) If the underlying is selling for $48 today (i.e. So = 48), what is the cost of your synthetic short position?
Solution :
[tex]\text{Short forward = buy a put + short a call on the same stock}[/tex] with the same exercise price.
X = exercise price = 50
1). Position to be taken :
-- buy 10 numbers of Put options with strike price of $ 50 per unit.
--- short (sell) 10 numbers of Call option with strike price of $ 50 per unit.
2). Cost of synthetic short position = [tex]$10 \times (P-C)$[/tex],
where, P = price of 1 put ption
C = price of 1 call option
The Call - Put parity equation :
[tex]$\frac{C+X}{(1+r)^t}=S_0+P$[/tex]
Here, C = Call premium
X = strike price of call and Put
r = annual rate of interest
t = time in years
[tex]$S_0$[/tex] = initial price of underlying
P = Put premium
Therefore,
[tex]$P-C=PV(X)-S_0=\frac{X}{(1+r)^t}-S_0$[/tex]
Here, t = 1, [tex]S_0[/tex] = 48, X = 50
So the cost of the position is given as : [tex]$\frac{50}{(1+r)} -48$[/tex]
Why is keeping a journal about what is good and bad regarding your summer or part-time work a good idea to help you choose a career path
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Keeping a journal about what is good and bad regarding my summer or part-time work is a good idea to help me choose a career path because writing down what I like and what I dislike, I can get a pretty close idea of the things I enjoy and have more skills to perform, compared to the things I do not like or I have no abilities at all.
If a clearly identify my skills and abilities in the workplace during the summer, it will be easier for me to identify what could be the profession I love or at least, what I am attracted to.
As it is difficult to remember all the work experience by memory, writing the journal will help me to remember exact dates, specific activities that I enjoyed or were interesting, and what was not.

Diminishing returns are a reason that fixed costs remain constant. the marginal cost curve is upward sloping. the average fixed cost curve is downward sloping. the marginal cost curve is downward sloping.
Answer:
the marginal cost curve is upward sloping.
Explanation:
Utility can be defined as any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service.
This ultimately implies that, any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service is generally referred to as a utility.
Basically, the marginal utility of goods and services is the additional satisfaction that a consumer derives from consuming or buying an additional unit of a good or service.
For example, buying a candy stick and eating it may satisfy your cravings but eating another one (an additional or extra unit) wouldn't give you as much satisfaction as the first due to diminishing marginal utility.
In Economics, the law of diminishing marginal utility states that as the unit of a good or service consumed by an individual increases, the additional satisfaction he or she derives from consuming additional units would start decreasing or diminishing as the units of good or service consumed increases.
Marginal cost can be defined as the additional or extra cost that is being incurred by a company as a result of the production of an additional unit of a product or service.
Generally, marginal cost can be calculated by dividing the change in production costs by the change in level of output or quantity. A marginal cost curve is upward sloping because of the law of diminishing returns.
Based on an examination of the risk and return data for a variety of alternative investments during the period of 1926-2011, which of the following statements is correct? Over the period of 1926-2011, the general trend of increasing riskiness among the following five assets is: U.S. Treasury bills, U.S. government long-term government bonds, long-term corporate bonds, large-company stocks, and small-company stocks. Over the period of 1926-2011, the general trend of increasing return among the following five assets is: U.S. Treasury bills, long-term corporate bonds, U.S. government long-term bonds, large-company stocks, and small-company stocks. Large-company stocks, rather than small-company stocks, exhibit the greater risk and the greater return. Small-company stocks, rather than long-term corporate bonds, exhibit both the greater return and the greater standard deviation.
Answer:
Based on an examination of the risk and return data for a variety of alternative investments during the period of 1926-2011, the correct statement is:
Small-company stocks, rather than long-term corporate bonds, exhibit both the greater return and the greater standard deviation.
Explanation:
Small-company stocks are known to show the highest volatility of returns among these five assets. The reason is that investors in small company stocks always expect higher returns to pay for the higher risks involved in such unproven investments, unlike investing in other assets. In addition, small-company stocks are known to pose higher risks given their known failure to deliver on their promised performance and returns.
(f) Find the present value of an investment that will pay $3,000 at the end of Years 10, 11, and 12. Use a discount rate of 8%.
Answer:
PV= $3,867.67
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Find the present value of an investment that will pay $3,000 at the end of Years 10, 11, and 12. Use a discount rate of 8%.
First, we will determine the future value of the payments:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual payment
FV= {3,000*[(1.08^3) - 1]} / 0.08
FV= $9,732.2
Now, the present value:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 9,732.2 / (1.08^12)
PV= $3,867.67

Agreement and disagreement among economists
Suppose that Yakov, an economist from a business school in Georgia, and Ana, an economist from a public television program, are arguing over budget deficits. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Ana: Most people recognize that the budget deficit has been rising considerably over the last century. We need to find the best course of action to remedy this situation.
Yakov: I believe that a cut in income tax rates would boost economic growth and raise tax revenue enough to reduce budget deficits.
Ana: I actually feel that raising the top income tax rate would reduce the budget deficit more effectively.
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to ___.
Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
A. Rent cellings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
B. Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.
C. Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.
Answer:
differing opinions on the point we are on the Laffer Curve
A
Explanation:
The Laffer Curve is a supply side economic theory developed by Arthur Laffer in 1974.
The curve depicts the relationship between tax rates and tax revenue
According to this theory, higher income tax rate reduces the incentive of labour to work and invest due to the fact that labour would have to pay higher tax. This means that at some point, increase in the tax rate would decrease government revenue rather than increase it.
The theory submits that there is an optimal tax rate at which tax income is maximised. Once this point is surpassed, increase in tax rate would reduce government revenue
Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.
Effects of a binding price ceiling
1. It leads to shortages
2. it leads to the development of black markets
3. it prevents producers from raising price beyond a certain price
4. It lowers the price consumers pay for a product. This increases consumer surplus
A rent ceiling would lead to shortage of houses and a reduction of the quality of available housing.

Explanation:
Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department:
Units: Beginning Inventory: 25,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion.
Units started and completed: 110,000.
Units completed and transferred out: 135,000.
Ending Inventory: 30,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion.
Costs:
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $43,000.
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $48,850.
Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $287,000.
Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $599,150.

A firm is evaluating the performance of two managers running a summer training program. One manager is in a large division with over 100 trainees, while the other is in a small division with only 15 trainees. What is one principle the firm should use in its evaluation
Answer:
Principle of equitable assessment
Explanation:
In simple words, the principle of equitable assessment refers to the concept which states that while comparing two subjects, the evaluation will be in such a way that the assessment will be fair to both the topics.
Hence, it should be made in such a way or should be made on those dimensions which consdier the differences between the two population.
E Corporation produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 54,000 units per month is as follows: Per Unit Direct materials $ 49.60 Direct labor $ 9.50 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 2.50 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 20.10 Variable selling & administrative expense $ 4.60 Fixed selling & administrative expense $ 22.00 The normal selling price of the product is $114.10 per unit. An order has been received from an overseas customer for 3,400 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $2.60 less per unit on this order than on normal sales. Suppose there is ample idle capacity to produce the units required by the overseas customer and the special discounted price on the special order is $90.40 per unit. The monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:
Answer: $91120
Explanation:
The The monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company will be calculated thus:
Incremental revenue = (3400 × $90.40) = $307360
Less: Incremental Cost
Direct material (3400 × $49.60) = $168640
Direct labor (3400 × $9.5) = $32300
Variable manufacturing overhead = (3400 × $2.5) = $8500
Variable selling & administrative expense = (3400 × $2) = $6800
Total incremental Cost = $216240
Therefore, the monthly financial advantage will be:
= $$307360 - $216240
= $91120
Calculate real rate if you have nominal rate is 12% and inflation rate is 7% Enter the answer in percentage format to two decimal place without the % sign -> 9.30 and not 9.3% or .093)
Answer: 5.00
Explanation:
The real interest rate is the difference between the nominal interest and the inflation rate.
Real interest rate will be:
= Nominal interest rate − Inflation rate.
= 12% - 7%
= 5.00
Therefore, the real Interest rate is 5.00.
HR can foster a triple bottom approach through incentive plans that focus on achieving comprehensive results rather than solely on profit incentives.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
Human resources management (HRM) can be defined as an art of managing, controlling and improving the number of people (employees or workers), functions, activities which are being used effectively and efficiently by an organization.
Thus, human resources managers are saddled with the responsibility of recruiting, managing and improving the welfare and working conditions of the employees working in an organization.
A triple bottom line (TBL) is a business management framework or model that comprises three (3) main components, which are; financial, environmental and social.
Human resources (HR) can enhance a triple bottom approach within an organization by establishing incentive plans that is typically focused on achieving comprehensive results rather than solely on profit incentives. Thus, it would foster the growth and development of an organization with respect to finance, environmental and social factors.
