Answer:

resource allocation

Explanation:

Based on my findings on various business strategies, I can conclude that this scenario exemplifies the resource allocation aspect of a strategy. It represents how a company optimally uses its resources throughout the organization by identifying new opportunities for resources that have not been fully utilized. This is occurring here as funds that are currently underutilized are being redirected into the shoe business.

Answer:

Cost of the new machine:

= Price of new machine - Trade allowance + Market value of old machine

= $16,000 - $9,000 + $6,000

= $13,000

Consequently, the journal entry would be recorded as follows:

New Machine Cost A/c                               Dr. $13,000

Accumulated Depreciation (Book Value) A/c Dr. $4,000

Loss from machine exchange A/c                    Dr. $2,000

         To Old Machine (Book Value)                    $12,000

         To Cash (16,000 - 9,000)                        $7,000

Answer:

(a)

(b)

(c) X=4.975 percent

Explanation:

(a) Identify the z-value that represents 5.40 percent

.

Thus, a net interest margin of 5.40 percent stands at 2.5 standard deviations above the average.

From the standard normal distribution table, the area to the left of 2.5 is 0.9938. Hence, the likelihood of a randomly selected U.S. bank achieving a net interest margin greater than 5.40 percent is 1-0.9938=0.0062

(b) The z-value corresponding to 4.40 percent is The net interest margin of 4.40 percent is situated at 0.5 standard deviation above the average.

According to the normal distribution table, the area to the left of 0.5 is 0.6915

Thus, the probability of a randomly chosen U.S. bank having a net interest margin below 4.40 percent equals 0.6915

(c) The z-value indicating 95% is 1.65

Substituting 1.65 into the equation enables us to find X.

For a bank that wishes for its net interest margin to fall below that of 95 percent of all U.S. banks, it should aim for a net interest margin of 4.975 percent.

Answer:

a) the small bus

b) the medium or large bus

c) the small bus

Explanation:

a) using the maximin criterion, the manager aims to maximize the least possible profit (a pessimistic approach), which results in the following profits:

Bus size Demand

Low Medium High

Small 50 60 70 → minimum profit = 50

Medium 40 80 90 → minimum profit = 40

Large 20 50 120 → minimum profit = 20

Thus, the optimal choice yielding the highest minimum profit is the small bus.

b) applying the maximin criterion, the manager will seek to minimize potential maximum losses, determining losses based on the best profit scenario:

Bus size Demand

Low Medium High

Small 0 -20 -50 → maximum loss = -50

Medium -10 0 -30 → maximum loss = -30

Large -30 -30 0 → maximum loss = -30

Hence, the option that bears the least maximum loss is either the medium or large bus.

c) for calculating the expected value of each option:

small = 30/100*50 + 30/100*60 + 40/100*70 = 61

medium = 30/100*40 + 30/100*80 + 40/100*90 = 72

large = 30/100*20 + 30/100*50 + 40/100*120 = 69

The small bus turns out to be the best choice, as it has the highest expected profit.
