A computer glitch (of all things) was discovered at The Baruch Academic Computing Center, and it was determined that only 1,150 students were actually served. If the design capacity of the system is 1,800 students per semester and the highest number of students who can actually go to their 93. 18 orientation session is 1,200, what is the utilization and efficiency of the system?

Answer:

Utilization = 0.6388 = 63.88%

Efficiency = 0.9583 = 95.83%.

Explanation:

So, in this question we are given the following parameters or information or data that is going to assist us in solving this question/problem and they are;

=> "only 1,150 students were actually served. If the design capacity of the system is 1,800 students per semester''

=> " the highest number of students who can actually go to their orientation session is 1,200".

(A). Thus, the Utilization of the system= real capacity/ designed capacity.

=> 1150/1800 = 0.6388.

Hence, 0.6388 × 100% = 63.88%

(B). Efficiency of the system = real capacity/ designed capacity .

=> 1150/1200 = 0.9583.

Therefore, 0.9583 × 100% = 95.83%.

Answer:

Utilization = 63.88%

Efficiency = 95.83%

Explanation:

Given that:

The actual usage number of students served were 1150 students

The Design Capacity  of the system is 1,800 students per semester

The  highest number (effective capacity ) for the orientation session is 1,,200

The objective here is to determine the utilization and efficiency of the system.

Using the formula

Utilization of the system = actual usage number  / design capacity  of the system

Efficiency of the system = actual usage number  / effective capacity for the orientation session

Therefore; we have

Utilization = 1150/1800 = 0.6388

= 63.88%

Efficiency = 1150/1200 = 0.9583

= 95.83%

A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 5 workers, who together produced an average of 100 carts per hour. Workers receive $16 per hour, and machine cost was $30 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $10 per hour while output increased by 5 carts per hour.

a. Compute the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment. (Round to 4 decimal places)b. Compute the % growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment. (Round to 2 decimal places)

HomeGrown Company is a chain of grocery stores that are similar to indoor farmer's markets, providing fresh, local produce, meats, and dairy products to consumers in urban areas. HomeGrown is considering opening several stores in a new city, and has proposals from three contractors (Alpha, Beta, and Gamma companies) who would like to provide buildings for the new stores.The amount of expected revenue from the stores will depend on the design of the contractor. For example, if HomeGrown decides on a more open floor plan, with less shelf space for products, revenue would be lower overall. However, if HomeGrown decides on a very crowded floor plan, it may lose customers who appreciate a more open feel.As the project manager for HomeGrown, you are responsible for deciding which if any of the proposals to accept. HomeGrown's minimum acceptable rate of return is 20%. You receive the following data from the three contractors:Proposal Type of Floor Plan Investment if Selected Residual ValueAlpha Very open, like an indoor farmer’s market $1,472,000 $0.00Beta Standard grocery shelving and layout, minimal aisle space $5,678,900 $0.00Gamma Mix of open areas and shelving areas $2,525,960 $0.00You have calculated estimates of annual cash flows and average annual income from customers for each of the three contractors' plans. You believe that the annual cash flows will be equal for each of the 10 years for which you are preparing your capital investment analysis. Your conclusions are presented below.Proposal Estimated Average Annual Income Estimated Average (after depreciation) Annual Cash FlowAlpha $302,054 $351,145Beta $272,019 $475,608Gamma $626,564 $704,490You begin by trying to eliminate any proposals that are not yielding the company’s minimum required rate of return of 20%. Complete the table below, and decide whether Alpha, Beta, and/or Gamma should be eliminated because the average rate of return of their project is less than the company's minimum required rate of return.Complete the table below.

As a student in the Principles of Management class of Ama Ghana University, you are expected to have experiential knowledge so that you can be able to solve real life business problems after graduation. To achieve this objective, the 2020 class has been divided into ten groups; and each team works in a management capacity with ten management consulting companies in the Greater Accra Region. San Consulting - the firm that your group works with is a project management company that is into Real Estate construction and management consulting. This firm which has twenty years’ experience in this business is the first choice for all individuals and companies that want quality service. You have on the contrary, observed that many of the management practices have not developed precipitously as situations in the business environment warrant. The accountant confirmed this by saying in the last general meeting that a certain percentage of San’s profit margin is being lost because of this situation. She gave the example that the surveying department spent eight labor hours generating data that had been generated two weeks ago by another unit. Due to the fact that the surveying department did not know that the data had already been created, a substantial effort was wasted and this has been a recurrent problem. In addition, the increase in demand of the services of San’s Consulting has placed significant pressures on the five managers whose duties are not clearly defined. For instance, you have observed that any of these managers perform duties in the operations department as well as any other unit within the firm. They are not able to perform all the functions required of them due to the ineffectiveness of the organizational structure. You and the members of your group are expected to write a report to the top-level management team regarding your analysis of the situation in the firm.
1. Explain which of the four main management functions is/are not operating as it/they should within the firm? 3 Marks
2. What recommendations will you make in your report that will help assure that this situation or similar one would not happen again? 4 Marks
3. Assume that the top-level management team has accepted your recommendations, how can their effectiveness be evaluated three months after implementation? 4 Marks
4. Discuss the organizational structure currently used by San’s Consulting and would you recommend the continuous use of this structure? If yes or no, present the factors (4) that influenced your decision regarding the right organizational structure for San’s Consulting. 5 Marks
5. Identify and discuss the main problems that the firm is likely to experience (i) if the current structure is continued or (ii) if a new structure is implemented. 5 Marks
