...CHAPTER 5 Activity-Based Management Chapter Outline A. Cost Management Challenges — Chapter 5 presents three questions to be answered in this chapter. 1. Is activity-based costing (ABC) enough by itself to improve efficiency? Can cost managers ensure that an organization will meet its efficiency goals merely by measuring costs more accurately by using ABC? 2. Does the cost manager’s responsibility end with making recommendations for improvements? Are the numbers generated by ABC, by themselves, enough to guide managers to correct decisions regarding resource use? 3. How does one know that activity-based methods of cost management are worthwhile? B. Learning Objectives — This chapter has six learning objectives. 1. The key steps of an activity-based management system are presented. 2. How to use activity-based costing for target costing. 3. Ways to identify and measure the costs of activities that do or do not add value in organizations. 4. How the elements of an ABM system can help to identify opportunities for process improvements. 5. Evaluate capacity utilization by identifying resources supplied and resources used. 6. Understand the methods and the problems of implementing ABC and ABM. C. Activities-based Management (ABM) allows managers to evaluate costs and values of process activities to identify opportunities for improved efficiency...

Students are welcome to come into my office and do not need an appointment to see me during office hours. I will also generally be in my office most days from (Monday thru' Thursday at the very least) 10- 4 pm. I have almost (about 99%of the time) never refused to see a student who comes to my office without an appointment during these non-office hour times, but there may be occasions when I will say “could you please come some other time” because I have to attend other meetings or I have a very tight deadline to meet. To avoid the possibility of students being disappointed by coming in during non-office hours and not being able to see me, I request that you call me/email me and fix up an appointment before coming. Also, I have found email (jvijayak@vcu.edu) to be a very useful tool both for students and me in answering / clearing up most student questions / doubts. One request – Please do not knock on my door or ask to see me after 6.40 p.m. on Wednesday. I would like to have the minutes before class to myself to get ready for class.

...The brief to us from Castrol was to come up with an activation idea to launch its range of products (in the truck category) under one umbrella campaign. However, before working on it, we took a few moments off to understand our target group: the mechanics. We understood that he is a very busy man, works for long hours, is always under stress, has no time for himself, lives in polluted environment of vehicle smokes and chemicals and he is performing a highly skilled job but is not fully educated for the same. Therefore, our activation idea did try to this address these issues by introducing Castrol's Sampoorna Suraksha. It was done in a manner that the TG understood the brand's benefits and was convinced that Castrol not only takes care of his professional requirements but To introduce the new product of Castrol Formula Gel Grease as India's first Gel grease (its more than just grease its formula Gel) across the country was a challenge. We needed to reach out to the users of an extremely low involvement product, with a low literacy audience. What's more the user and buyer were different individuals. As we zeroed on to all transport Nagars of the country we developed the clutter breaking communication of the "poor cute as hell ball bearing" on the last leg of life. With us went the "Gel Man" whose super powers (no pun intended) insured that mechanics and truck drivers were riveted with the brand excitement. Castrol CRB Turbo contains "Friction Guard" formulation that reduces...

...Chương I: BIẾN CỐ VÀ XÁC SUẤT CỦA BIẾN CỐ 1.1. a) Gọi A là biến cố “xuất hiện mặt sáu chấm khi gieo con xúc xắc”. Số kết cục đồng khả năng n = 6. Số kết cục thuận lợi cho biến cố A là m =1. Vậy: P(A)= = b) Gọi B là biến cố “mặt có số chẵn chấm xuất hiện”. Số kết cục thuận lợi cho B là n = 3. Vậy: P(B) = = = 0.5 1.2 a) Gọi A là biến cố “lấy ra tấm bìa có xuất hiện chữ số 5”. khi đó là biến cố không xuất hiện chữ số 5. Vì số kết cục đồng khả năng là 100, trong khi số kết cục thuận lợi cho A là 19, nên số kết cục thuận lợi cho là 81. Vậy P ( ) = 0.81. b) từ 1 đến 100 có 50 số chẵn nên có 50 số chia hết cho 2. Có 20 số chia hết cho 5, trong đó 10 số vừa chia hết cho 5 vừa chia hết cho 2. Do vậy số kết cục thuận lợi cho biến cố lấy lên bìa có số hoặc chia hết cho 2, hoặc chia hết cho 5, hoặc chia hết cho cả 2 và 5 là 50 +20-10 = 60. Vậy P(A)= =0.6. 1.3 a) A = “quả cầu thứ nhất là trắng” Số kết cục duy nhất đồng khả năng là tất cả các phương pháp để lấy được 1 quả cầu ra khỏi (a+b) quả cầu. Vậy n = a+b. Số kết cục thuận lợi lấy ra quả cầu thứ nhất màu trắng là a. Vậy xác suất P(A) = b) Nếu quả thứ nhất trắng thì chọn quả thứ 2 sẽ còn a+b-1 kết cục đồng khả năng. Số kết cục thuận lợi để quả thứ 2 màu trắng là a-1 Vậy xác suất P(B) = c) tương tự câu b), vì quả thứ hai là trắng nên số kết cục đồng khả năng khi chọn quả thứ nhất là a+b-1 trong khi số kết quả thuận lợi là a-1. Vậy P(C) = 1.4. a) Số kết quả đồng khả năng thực ra...

...ASSIGNMENT SAIMA SHARMIN ID 3-08-14-025 BATCH - 14 DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES FACULTY OF BUSINESS STUDY UNIVERSITY OF DHAKA ASSIGNMENT – 1 General Principles of Bank Management A Bank manages its assets and liabilities in four ways. 1. Asset Management 2. Liquidity Management 3. Capital Adequacy Management 4. Liability Management 1. Asset Management Asset management is to acquiring assets with the highest return and the lowest risk. To maximize its profits, a bank must simultaneously seek the highest returns possible on loans and securities, reduce risk, and make adequate provisions for liquidity by holding liquid assets. Asset Management involves four basic principles: 1. Finding borrowers who will pay high interest rates but who are unlikely to default. Banks seek out loan business by advertising their borrowing rates and by approaching corporations directly to solicit loans. It is up to the bank’s loan officer to decide if potential borrowers are good credit risks who will make interest and principal payments on time. 2. Purchase securities with high returns and low risk. 3. Lower risk by diversifying - Diversifying the bank’s asset holdings to minimize risk: holding many types of securities and making many types of loans offers protection when there are losses in one type of security or one type of loan. In managing their...

...Central Government This level of government works across the whole country and has specific duties. The UKs central government is situated in London; it is formed from MPs from the elected party which is currently the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. Procedures and Roles Questions- Benchmarking may submit oral and written questions. Debates- There is three kinds of debates that are brought up: 1. General- Where both the Houses of Commons and Lords hold debates in which members discuss government policy, proposed new laws and present matters. 2. Adjourned- An adjourned vote is a way in which the Commons can debate but do not have to vote. 3. Emergency- Emergency issues are discussed and debated, but this rarely happens. The most important role of parliament is to make new laws and The House of Commons play a big role in this. County Councils County Councils are responsible for all different roles within their county e.g. Kent.

...For other uses, see Lens. A lens. Lenses can be used to focus light. A lens is an optical device which transmits and refracts light, converging or diverging the beam.[citation needed] A simple lens consists of a single optical element. A compound lens is an array of simple lenses (elements) with a common axis; the use of multiple elements allows more optical aberrations to be corrected than is possible with a single element. Lenses are typically made of glass or transparent plastic. Elements which refract electromagnetic radiation outside the visual spectrum are also called lenses: for instance, a microwave lens can be made from paraffin wax. The variant spelling lense is sometimes seen. While it is listed as an alternative spelling in some dictionaries, most mainstream dictionaries do not list it as acceptable.[1][2] Contents * 1 History * 2 Construction of simple lenses * 2.1 Types of simple lenses * 2.2 Lensmaker's equation * 2.2.1 Sign convention of lens radii R1 and R2 * 2.2.2 Thin lens equation * 3 Imaging properties * 4 Aberrations * 4.1 Spherical aberration * 4.2 Coma * 4.3 Chromatic aberration * 4.4 Other types of aberration * 4.5 Aperture diffraction * 5 Compound lenses * 6 Other types * 7 Uses * 8 See also * 9 References * 10 Bibliography * 11 External links * 11.1 Simulations History | This section requires expansion with: history...
