Answer:

Three popular forms are; Franchising, Management Contracts & Vacation Ownership. They are explained below

Explanation:

Three popular forms are; Franchising, Management Contracts & Vacation Ownership.

1) Franchising: This is a well-known marketing strategy that's used for business expansion and it's simply an arrangement whereby one party named the "franchisor" will grant or license some of it's rights and authorities to another party named the "franchisee".

It works such that a contractual agreement would be in place between Franchisor and Franchisee. In this agreement, the Franchisor will authorize the franchisee to sell their goods, products & services and give them rights to use their brand name & trademark.

2) Management contracts: This is simply an arrangement whereby the operational control of an entire enterprise will be vested by contract in a separate enterprise that will perform the necessary managerial functions in exchange for a specific fee. Now, management contracts are not just about selling a method of doing things but also about actually doing them.

3) Vacation ownership: This is a term used to refer to owning a timeshare.

Now, the mode of operation is usually a deeded ownership where we purchase a fraction of our favorite resort. The fraction is usually sold in weekly increments but then is also converted into points that can be used all around the world.

Factors of production

Explanation:

The general name is factors of production. They are also the 'inputs' in the production process.

The factors of production are combined or put together for the productions of goods and services to happen.  The four factors include land, which represents the natural resources in this case.

Land refers to the space used to set up a business, and fertile lands used for agriculture, minerals, oil and gas, forest, and other natural resources.

Labor is the human input in production. It involves workers' knowledge, skills, strength, and time spent on the production process.

Capital is the money and assets used to start and maintain the business operation. It includes plant and machinery, equipment, building, factories used in making products for sale.

Know-how refers to entrepreneurship. It is the skills, willingness, and ability to put together and manage the other factors to produce goods.

Answer:

A historic credit score of 300

Explanation:

A credit score is a numeric record that expresses the reliability of a borrower to repay loans. The credit score or credit rating is determined by, among other things, credit history, income level, and the individual's income to debt ratio.

Credit scores range between 300 and 850. 300 is the lowest and the poorest score. A score of 300 indicates that the borrower has a bad history of debt repayment. They are always late on repayments,  miss on installments, or have defaulted on loans. Lenders consider such persons as high-risk borrowers and are likely to deny them credit facilities.

Answer: b. $200

Explanation:

A person's willingness-to-pay refers to the maximum price they would be want to pay for a good or service. For instance, if you refused to pay more than $25 for a jar of honey, your willingness-to-pay for the jar of honey is $25.

In this scenario, MusicLover will buy the headset if they are $195 but not if they are $210. His willingness to pay is therefore between $195 and $210. From the options, the only figure in that range is option B with $200.

The Blue Division's break-even sales are closest to  $276,212

Explanation:

Break even point is the level at which a firm makes neither profit nor loss.

Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin

Where,

Contribution Margin = Contribution ÷ Sales

                                 = $276,190 ÷ $431,000

                                 = 0.64

Therefore,

Break-even sales (dollars) = $177,000 ÷ 0.64

                                            = $276,212

Calculation for What is the company’s sustainable growth rate

Sustainable growth rate=ROE*b/1-ROE*b

Let plug in the formula

Sustainable growth rate=14.4%*(100%-30%)/1-=14.4%*(100%-30%)

Sustainable growth rate=14.4%*70%/1-14.4%*70%

Sustainable growth rate=0.1008/0.8992

Sustainable growth rate=0.11209*100

Sustainable growth rate=11.21% approximately

Therefore the Sustainable growth rate will be 11.21%

Answer:Sustainable growth rate =0.19305=19.305%

Explanation:

Sustainable growth rate is calculated as

Return on equity X (1 - dividend payout ratio)

But

Return on equity = profit margin X total asset turnover X equity multiplier

= 6.6% X 2.6 X 1.5

= 0.2574 X 100

=25.74%

The dividend payout ratio is 25% or 0.25

Sustainable growth rate =25.74% X (1-0.25)

=0.2574 X 0.75

=0.19305 X 100

=19.305%

Answer: 6.77%

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the following can be deduced:

Initial amount (PV) = $120000

Annual payment (PMT) = $25000

Number of payment period (NPER) = 6

Annual rate = Rate(nper, pmt, -pv)

= Rate(6, 25000, -120000)

= 6.77%

= 5,000 / 1,000

= 5

The multiplier is also calculated as:

Multiplier = 1 / Marginal propensity to save

5 = 1 /  MPS

5. FALSE

The country has opened up to trade which means that the good they export now has a larger market to sell to. This will be beneficial to the people in the exporting industry as they will sell more and thus make more money.

Answer

Hello, the question seems to be asking for one to justify why cloud-based B2B  solutions should be adopted rather than another kind of solution. However, the background leading up to this comparison, and the reason why we are justifying one of the solutions above another is not clearly indicated.

We can however make certain assumptions.

Assuming there was a loss of revenue by your company resulting from poor communication between the company and its supply chain, it could potentially lead up to the conversation where a solution is being contemplated.

Explanation

So if a cloud-based Business to Business solution is under consideration, here are possible reasons why the company can opt for the same.

A) Ease of Communication: It will give direct communication and access between your firm and its supply chain. Thus making for faster and real-time decision making. It will make the connection and collaboration between partner firms easier. It will also make building, and managing your partner business ecosystems easier.  

B) Cheaper Solutions: Cloud-based business to business solutions are more robust yet cheaper than having an inbuilt inhouse business solution.

C) Flexibility and Scalability: With a cloud-based solution, your company does not need to invest money in the acquisition and maintenance of permanent servers, systems, and storage capacity which all increase as the business expands. Instead, you can opt for more or less space or computing power with the service provider based on your organization's needs.  

Unlike owned B2B solutions, you cannot descale because that would mean selling off some of your hardware. But this is totally possible with cloud-based solutions.

D) Competitive Agility: It is important to note that many successful enterprises use cloud-based Business to Business solutions such as Asada, IBM, Basecamp, Descartes, etc. So to remain relevant within its industry, your company should consider the use of cloud-based B2B solutions.

E) Risk Reduction: When your company owns it's own IT infrastructure, there will always be the risk of having to deal with downtimes. This can happen due to Natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, etc. There are also power outages or equipment failures etc. By outsourcing this component of your company's operation, the risks are also outsourced.

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

Entrepreneurs usually get to be too optimistic in their sales and also cash flow forecasts.

Now, venture capitalists and other seasoned external investors know that the ability to forecast sales, and even cash flows, accurately, tend to be inversely related to the firms position in its life cycle.

Generally speaking, the more difficult it is to accurately forecast sales, the greater the riskiness of the venture. Due to that, the venture capitalists and other seasoned external investors normally adjust for this added difficulty by making sure the expected value of the entrepreneur's sales forecasts is adjusted downwards or by use of higher discount rates in order to value the cash flows of the venture.

Answer:

Alpha and Beta

The amount of loss on realization that should be allocated to Alpha is:

$14,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                Alpha    Beta         Total

Sharing ratio =                           1          :   2

Capital balances               $34,200   $88,500   $122,700

Cash balance =                                                     $80,700

Loss on realization = $42,000 ($122,700 - 80,700)

Loss sharing:

Alpha = $42,000 * 1/3 =  ($14,000)

Beta = $42,000 * 2/3 =                    ($28,000)

Cash refund                    $20,200   $60,500    ($80,700)

b) After sharing the loss (reduction in their capital balances against the available cash) in their profit and loss sharing ratios, their capital balances will be reduced by their respective amounts of loss.  Therefore, the cash each partner is entitled to will become equal to the cash available, as depicted above.

Answer:

Equivalent units of production for materials = 5960

Explanation:

Given:

Units transferred out = 5800

Units in ending inventory = 400

%age of completion for conversion = 40%

To calculate the equivalent units of production by using the formula:

Equivalent units of production for materials = units transferred out + ( units in ending inventory × %age of completion for conversion)

= 5800 + ( 400 × 40/100)

= 5800 + ( 400 × 0.4)

= 5800 + 160

= 5960

Answer:

$0.70 per stock

Explanation:

before tax corporate income = $2.50 per stock

after tax corporate income = $2.50 x (1 - 30%) = $1.75 per stock

distributed dividends = $1.75 x 50% = $0.875 per stock

since the tax rate on dividends is 20%, then the after tax gain earned by stockholders is $0.875 x (1 - 20%) = $0.70 per stock

Some dividends are taxed as long term capital gains (like these), which decreases the tax rate paid by stockholders. If they were taxed at the normal income rate, the tax rate would have been 8% higher.

Answer:

I also think it is A

Explanation:

They should consult a transportation salesman in the Sales and Services career pathway. Thus, option A is correct.

The organization of a supply chain as it relates to a business is known as logistic planning. It entails a company's evaluation of order quantities, transportation, and storage. Before getting to the final customer, products go through a number of phases after manufacturing. The likelihood of product damage is decreased, order fulfilment is made more efficient, and profits can be increased by lowering shipping and storage costs.

Because it involves tracking commodities, logistics stretch back as far as trade. The old ways entailed keeping analogue records and certifying goods with trade seals. The Internet of Things (IoT) and radio-frequency technology are two examples of modern techniques that rely on technology. A crucial element of most logistics is the capacity to keep track of products across the supply chain.

Therefore, we can conclude that option A is correct.
