...Practice Examination Questions QUESTIONS ON SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT SCM 1: In a manufacturing plant, suppose fixed cost is $ 10,000/month. Variable Cost of production is $ 0.80 per unit and the selling price is $ 1.00 per unit. What is the breakeven point? Answer: 50,000 units per month Break Even Point = Fixed Cost / (Selling Price – Variable Cost) = 10000/((1.0 ‐0.8) = 50,000 SCM 2: In a manufacturing plant, suppose fixed cost is $ 5,000/month. Variable Cost of production is $ 0.60 per unit and the selling price is $ .95 per unit. The plant produces 20,000 units per month. What is the profit per month as a percentage of the total cost of production? The total cost includes fixed and variable costs. Answer: 11.76% Total Cost of production = 5,000 + 20,000 * 0.6 = 17,000 Total Revenue = 20,000 * 0.95 = 19,000 Profit as a % of cost = (19,000 – 17,000)/17,000 = 11.76% Note: A similar analysis will be required to find the selling price if the desired % of profit is given.

This allows the globalization of the economy through trade, present new opportunities for growth and development. But these countries are not exempt of difficulties and problems in being able to exercise these trade shares without being harmed by their lower weight in the global economy.

Even the best presentation can be destroyed by a bad presenter from the person who mumbles, to the one who talks too fast, to the one who just wasn’t prepared. But perhaps nothing is as irritating as the person who misuses and abuses. There are seven step I learn to go over before giving a presentation and what are the solution to making those problems better but the top three of the mistakes are “ Not knowing your topic:, Ignoring your audience” and “Not Practicing” . These steps will not only prepare me for presentation in school but also increase my skills for my career. The first mistake is not knowing your topic. Not addressing assignment or problem and missing main parts of topic. You can memorized the content but when someone ask you a question about it, you panic and don’t know how to answer it. You never prepared for questions and all you know about this topic is what is written on the slides. A better solution so this don’t happen is to know your material as well, that you could easily do the presentation without an electronic enhancement such as PowerPoint. Nothing will ruin your credibility as a presenter faster, than not knowing everything about your topic. Use key words and phrases and include only essential information to keep the audience focused and interested. Be prepared for questions and know the answers. Knowing your material...

...There is high prevalence of FGM expected in Upper Egypt which is an area with low socioeconomic class, high illiteracy rates and low gdp per capita. It is expected that working women who hold an educational degree even the circumcised from them will refuse to continue the practice of FGM. The occupational status of females is expected to have a direct relation with FGM practice and the prevalence is expected to be high among unemployed females. The relation between access to information and prevalence of FGM can be anticipated, areas with little to no access to information or awareness programs will have the highest prevalence. Messages delivered through internet or television may not be accessible to these areas. The study is hoped to stress on the importance of delivering awareness messages not only through media but also through regional home visits, seminars and events for areas with little access to information. It is anticipated that the research will have a clear direct correlation between female education and practice of FGM. It is hoped that the local authorities and public education sectors will take in consideration female education and facilitating continuing education for those who have dropped out. Ethical concerns Researchers will need to go in pairs having at least one female in each pair to be able to hold private interviews with females as the social background of interviewed sample may not accept women talking to strangers.
