Business markets and consumer markets differ in several ways:
Buyers face more complex buying decisions: Business buyers typically need to consider multiple factors such as price, quality, reliability, and customer service when making purchasing decisions. Consumer buying decisions are often simpler and less complex.The buying decision involves more professionals: Business purchases often involve multiple individuals from different departments who are responsible for evaluating, approving, and making purchasing decisions. Consumer purchases are typically made by individuals or households.Business demand is a derived demand: Business demand is influenced by the demand for the final product or service that the business produces. Consumer demand is driven by individual needs and preferences.The buying process is more formalized: Business purchases often involve formal procurement processes, including requesting proposals, negotiating contracts, and conducting vendor evaluations. Consumer purchases are typically more informal and spontaneous.The new cereal product development team included a project manager located at headquarters in Chicago, a marketing specialist in the Los Angeles office, and a research and development (R&D) team in Kansas.A. Flattened management hierarchies.B. Self-directed work groups and virtual teams.C. Heightened global competition.
Answer:
The correct option is self-directed work groups and virtual teams
Explanation:
This question takes a look at post-bereaucratic organization(PBO),which is form of organization that differs from multi-divisional or multi-functional structure, where emphasis is laid on hierarchy and loyalty to superiors.
Self-directed work groups and virtual teams are a way to break the barriers that teams must be based in the same location and operate at the same time
With aid of advancement in information technology , far flung individuals can collaborate on issues of common interest, clear and mutual goals.
The team can only meetings via Skype for business and still ensure they deliver at the optimum level
Final answer:
New cereal product development teams involve diverse team members including product development and upper management, working towards a flattened management hierarchy and leveraging self-directed work groups for increased efficiency and productivity.
Explanation:
The development of new cereal products often involves collaboration between team members with various expertise including product development, engineering, production, purchasing, quality, regulatory, marketing, sales, and upper management. Teams may span multiple geographical locations and work in a manner that reduces hierarchical constraints, promoting a flattened management hierarchy. This encourages self-direction and empowers teams to be more proactive in their roles, thus benefiting from the collective intelligence and capabilities of its members.
As organizations strive for efficiency and productivity, the adoption of self-directed work groups and virtual teams has become increasingly prevalent. These teams can hire talent from a diverse pool, tap into different geographic regions, and measure success based on deliverables rather than traditional oversight methods. A reference to large companies such as the Miller Brewing Company and Texas Instruments Inc. highlights the significant improvements in productivity and quality that can be achieved with this team-based approach.

The total factory overhead for Rowland Company is budgeted for the year at $652,000 and divided into two departments: Fabrication $460,000 and Assembly $192,000. Rowland manufactures two products: treadmills and weight machines. Each treadmill requires 3 direct labor hours in Fabrication and 1 direct labor hour in Assembly. Each weight machine requires 2 direct labor hours in Fabrication and 5 direct labor hours in Assembly. Each product is budgeted for 4,000 units of production for the year.
Determine the factory overhead allocated per unit for each weight machine, using the department factory overhead allocation rates.
a. $77.00
b. $163.00
c. $86.00
d. $81.50
Answer:
$86
Explanation:
The total overhead for Rowland Co. = $652,000 per annum (p/a). broken down across two departments as follows:
Department/Item (Treadmill) || (Weight Machine)
(Direct labor hours in production) Total
Fabrication = $460,000 p/a 3 || 2
Assembly = $192,000 p/a 1 || 5
Nos of Units for production 4000 || 4000
To produce 4000 Weight Machines, would require 8000 fabrication hours and 20,000 assembly hours. while, 4000 treadmills will require 12,000 fabrication hours and 4,000 assembly hours.
Total number of Fabrication hours for the year is 12,000 + 8,000 = 20,000.
Total number of assembly hours for the year is 20,000 + 4,000 = 24,000
Unit cost per hour of fabrication (uF) = $460,000/20,000 = $23
Unit cost per hour of assembly (uA) = $192,000/24,000 = $8
Therefore, the allocated overhead per unit for each weight machine
= (2 * $23) + (5 * $8) = $46 + $40 = $86
As a person consumes more of a good or service, the person's _____ will increase. At the same time, this person's _____ will decrease with each additional unit.
Answer:
Total utility
Marginal utility
Explanation:
Total utility is the total satisfaction derived from a particular activity. As consumption increases, total utility increases at a decreasing rate.
Marginal utility is the utility derived from one more unit of consumption. As consumption increases, the satisfaction derived falls.
For example, the marginal utility a man who is extremely thirsty would derive from the first bottle of cold water would be the highest. The utility he derives from additional bottles of water would successively decrease.
The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as consumption increases, marginal utility falls.

Explanation:
Jason's Outdoors manufactures two products: snow skis and water skis. Jason's managerial accountant suspects that product cost distortion through factory overhead allocation is occurring where snow skis are underpriced and water skis are overpriced. As a result, all of the following statements are true except
a.Jason's accountant should consider a single plantwide rate to correct the problem.
b.Snow skis likely consumed a larger proportion of factory overhead than was allocated.
c.Jason may incorrectly decide to expand production of snow skis.
d.Jason will likely lose sales of water skis.
Answer:
Jason's accountant should consider a single plantwide rate to correct the problem.
Explanation:
In this scenario where there are two products being produced, they will consume different amounts of resources during production. Allocation of resources uniformly by using single plantwide rate will cause cost distortion when allocating factory overhead, so this is the incorrect option.
Jason's accountant should rather allocate overhead cost to the products on the basis of how much resources were used for their production this will reduce cost distortion.
The tiny South Pacific island country of Maroji produces a lot of milk and milk-based products. To protect this industry, Maroji mandates that only designated trading companies can import cheese, each of which is allocated the right to import a maximum number of pounds of cheese each year. By doing this, Maroji controls the amount of imported cheese. This is an example of a(n) _________

Since the 1980s, many "developing" countries have liberalized trade and investment, often because they have had to accept IMF Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) and open their economies. Many, however, still have considerable barriers. For example, "International Shipments Logistics" is defined as "Ease of arranging competitively priced shipments. " What are the three biggest outliers in the histogram above, with the poorest international shipping logistics? Do you know anything about the challenges these countries face?
Answer:Please Refer to the explanation section
Explanation:
The question has insufficient information, we are supposed to be studying the diagram to determine outlier countries with poorest international shipping logistics. i have consulted the International Shipping Logistic performance index 2018 to find poorest countries in terms of international shipping logistics. according to the world bank countries like Zimbabwe, Lesotho , Syrian Arab Leon , Sierra Leon and Niger are some of the poorest countries when incomes to international shipping
Challenges Faced by these countries.
Challenge of being land locked.Countries like Zimbabwe , Niger and Lesotho face great challenges in international shipping logistics because they are land locked. any Political instabilities in the neighbouring countries affect they logistics businesses directly because the need entry to other countries to transport goods
Political InstabilityCountries like Syrian Arab Republic, Somalia and Sierra Leon suffer from Political instability which makes it difficult for the to trade with other countries.
World trade has expanded greatly due to the advancements in transportation, like shipping containerization that reduces costs, and lowered trade barriers.
Explanation:The rise in world trade since the 1980s can be attributed to two main factors. The first one is the advances in transportation and communication, which significantly brought down the costs of moving goods globally. This growth began when the development of shipping containerization in 1956 led to a dramatic reduction in shipment costs, streamlining the transfer of cargo from land to sea transport.
The second factor behind the rise of trade is the reduction of government-imposed trade barriers, like tariffs and quotas, along with the advent of technology in communication, and information management. These factors have collectively enhanced the ease of long-distance economic connections, lowered costs, and driven globalization. It's also been facilitated by international agreements and treaties which have promoted increasingly liberalized trade across nations.
Although the exact countries that are outliers in terms of poor international shipping logistics were not provided, challenges these countries face can include inadequate infrastructure, inefficient customs operations, and political instability, which can all hinder the ability to take part in global trade efficiently.
A car rental agency rents 200 cars per day at a rate of 29 dollars per day. For each 1 dollar increase in the daily rate, 5 fewer cars are rented. At what rate should the cars be rented to produce the maximum income, and what is the maximum income? R
Answer and Explanation:
Given:
Total car = 200
Rate = $29
Computation:
Total increase in rate = a
So , Total decrees in car = 5a
Total income (y) = [200-5a][29+a]
y = 5,800 + 200a - 145a - 5a²
y = 5,800 + 55a - 5a²
y' = dy / da [5,800 + 55a - 5a²]
y' = -10a + 55
in which , y' = 0
0 = -10a + 55
a = 5.5
So , Maximum rate = $ [29+5.5]
Maximum rate = $34.5
maximum income = 5,800 + 55(5.5)- 5(5.5)²
maximum income = 5,800 + 302.5 - 151.25
maximum income = $5951.25

This process must evaluate external and internal problems in order to make it as expeditious as possible and the times are met in order to avoid product shortages.
A woman making $1500 per month has her salary reduced by 20% because of sluggish sales. One year later, after a dramatic improvement in sales, she is given a 30% raise over her reduced salary. Find her salary after the raise. $ 1560 Correct: Your answer is correct. per month What percent change is this from the $1500 per month? 13 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. %
Answer:
A) Her salary after the raise is $1560 /month
B) 4% a month
Explanation:
(a)
A woman was making salary / month = $1500
Reduced % in salary = 20%
Reduced amount in salary/month = $1500 x 20% = $300 /month
Salary after reduced amount = $1500 - $300 = $1200 /month
A year later after a dramatic improvement in sales, increment % in salary
= 30% over reduced salary
= 1200 x (30/100) ==> $360 /month
Salary after increment = $1200 + $360 ==> $1560 /month
∴ the salary after raise is $1560 /month
(b)
starting salary = $1500 /month
Salary increment = $1560 - $1500 =$60 /month
%change = (Salary Increment / starting salary) x 100
= (60/1500) x 100
= 4% a month
After a 20% salary reduction and a subsequent 30% raise, the woman's new salary is $1560 per month, which is a 4% increment from original salary of $1500.
Explanation:The woman's salary after the 20% reduction would be $1200 per month (this being 80% of her initial salary). A 30% increment on the reduced $1200 salary would result in a new salary of $1200 + 30% of $1200 = $1560 per month. To find the percentage change from original salary of $1500, we calculate the difference between the new and original salaries, divide by the original, then multiply by 100. This equals to ($1560-$1500)/$1500 x 100 = 4%. So, the salary after raise has a 4% increment from the original salary.

A purchasing agent directing her company's orders to a firm which she received a valuable gift, is an example of: Conflict of interest. Moral development. Ethical relativism. Egotism.
Answer:
Conflict of Interest
Explanation:
The reason is that if the person starts valuing its personal interests more than the company's interest then the person is acting in his personal interest and this is not a professional behavior. A professional person always eliminates his personal interest and always act in the best interest of the professional. So here, purchasing agent is acting in her own personal interest and this is because of the conflict of interest with the company's values and interest.
Final answer:
A purchasing agent accepting a gift and directing company orders to that source is an example of a conflict of interest, which undermines the impartiality needed to fulfill her fiduciary duties toward her employer.
Explanation:
A purchasing agent directing her company's orders to a firm from which she received a valuable gift is an example of a conflict of interest. This situation represents a principal-agent problem where the agent (the purchasing agent) should act in the best interests of the principal (her employer) but is influenced by personal gain. Unlike ethical egoism, which promotes individual interest potentially at the expense of others, a conflict of interest compromises the impartiality required to act in the principal's benefit. The core issue is the agent's duty to be a fiduciary to her principal, which means she is legally and ethically required to act in the principal's best interest and not let personal interests interfere with this duty.

Employees arrive at a cafeteria according to a poisson process at an average rate of 30 employees per hour. the probability that, after one employee arrives, the next one will arrive at least three minutes later is _________.
Answer:
0.223
Explanation:
This means no shows up in 3mins=3/60=1/20hour.
Therefore the probability is
e^-λt = e^-30/20 = 0.223
There is a 0.223 percent chance that the next employee will show up at least three minutes after the first.
What is probability?Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with numerical representations of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true.
The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, generally speaking, 0 indicates the event's impossibility and 1 indicates its certainty. The more likely an event is to happen, the more likely it is to happen.
A simple demonstration is tossing a fair (unbiased) coin. The coin is fair, hence the outcomes "heads" and "tails" are equally likely; as a result, the probability of "heads" is equal to the probability of "tails." Additionally, as no other possible outcomes are conceivable, the probability of either event is 1/2 (also written as 0.5 or 50%).

Q 1.25: If total liabilities increased by $95,000 and stockholders' equity increased by $45,000 during a period of time, then total assets must change by what amount and direction during that same period?
Answer:
The total asset are increased by $140,000
Explanation:

Assets = Equity + Liabilities
So if Equity is increased by $45,000 and liabilities are increase by $95,000, then by putting the values in the above equation we have:
Assets = $45,000 + $95,000 = $140,000
The total assets are increased by $140,000 due to the changes in the liabilities and equity changes.
