Simple Stresses Simple stresses are expressed as the ratio of the applied force divided by the resisting area or σ = Force / Area. It is the expression of force per unit area to structural members that are subjected to external forces and/or induced forces. Stress is the lead to accurately describe and predict the elastic deformation of a body. Simple stress can be classified as normal stress‚ shear stress‚ and bearing stress. Normal stress develops when a force is applied perpendicular to the cross-sectional

household items. Grocery Industry Porter’s Five Forces Model of Competition (See Appendix) The Canadian grocery industry is highly competitive and has high barriers for new entrants. Canadians pay the lowest prices for food in the world. Furthermore‚ Loblaw‚ Sobeys‚ Safeway‚ Metro‚ and A&P take up nearly 70% of Canadian grocers’ market share. With so many dominant players in the industry‚ the grocery store suppliers’ bargaining powers are relatively low‚ depending on the scale of the stores. Furthermore

Chapter 8: Reporting and interpreting cost of sales and inventory 8.1 Estimate the amount of inventories that your company purchased and produced during the current year. (Hint: use the cost of sales equation.) For the amount of inventories that Loblaw purchased and produced during the current year‚ we need to find the purchases of the period by using the equation of the cost of sales (BI + P – EI = COS). In the report‚ we can find the cost of sales (24 185 million) that we add to the ending inventory

Physical prowess and mental strength are two very important insights in sport performance‚ yet very different in their meanings. Mental strength in an athlete can change their attitude in how they play and affect how hard they try to win the game‚ and is probably the most important to control during a divertissement. Physical prowess is also very important in some sports‚ you can fulfill your strength in a game and allow yourself to do stuff that others can’t‚ if their brawn isn’t as high yours.

which makes it difficult for grocers to sustain through differentiation. Buyer power is high and thus‚ cost leadership and operational efficiencies are critical. There is fierce competition amongst various grocery stores‚ with the main players such as Loblaw and A&P holding multi-banner stores in various market segments. Traditional grocery stores also lose some of their market share to drug stores‚ convenience stores and other retailers who have entered the industry. Threat of substitutes from fast-food
