Answer:
A. Consists of constructing a hierarchy of criteria and subcriteria.
Explanation:
The Analytical Hierarchy process was developed by Thomas Saaty for use by organizations seeking to make very complex decisions. The first step in this approach involves the breakdown of the problem into criteria and sub-criteria. The reason for this breakdown is to ensure a smoother analysis of the problem.
After these alternatives are developed comparisons are made of the different criteria using data obtained from them or human reasoning and perceptions. The next step is the compilation of the numerical probability of the alternatives which is a rigorous process.

Bob uses the cash method of accounting. During the tax year (calendar year), he had the following income and expenses: Interest on a savings account (credited to his account on January 2 of next year) $ 68 Dividend received from Virginia Credit Union $814 Interest received on a 5-year certificate of deposit (left in CD account to compound) $910 Penalty on the early withdrawal of the 5-year certificate of deposit $ 50 What is the amount of interest income Bob must report for the current tax year?
Answer:
$814
Explanation:
When individuals or small firms use cash accounting, they will record any expenses or revenue when they are actually paid for or collected respectively.
In this case, Bob must record:
Dividend received from Virginia Credit Union $814Interests received on January 2, of next year are not included (they are included in next year's tax return). Interest received on a 5-year certificate of deposit (left in CD account to compound) is not included because it was earned before this year and left in CD to compound. The penalty for early withdrawal is associated with the CD, so it is not included.
Andy and Kim live together. Andy may invest $14 comma 000 (possibly by taking on an extra job to earn the additional money) in Kim's education this year. This investment will raise Kim's future earnings by $20 comma 000 (in present valueLOADING... terms). If they stay together, they will share the benefit from the additional earnings. However, the probability is 20% that they will split up in the future. If they were married (or in a civil union) and then split, Andy would get half of Kim's additional earnings. If they were living together without any legal ties and they split, then Andy would get nothing. Suppose that Andy is risk neutral. Will Andy invest in Kim's education? Does your answer depend on the couple's legal status? A. Andy will invest in Kim's education only if they have legal ties. B. Andy will not invest in Kim's education regardless of legal ties. C. Andy will invest in Kim's education regardless of legal ties. D. Andy will invest in Kim's education only if they do not have legal ties. E. Andy will be indifferent about investing in Kim's education regardless of legal ties.
Answer:
Will Andy invest in Kim's education?
Yes, he should. The expected benefits from investing in Kim's education are higher than the costs regardless of their legal status.Does your answer depend on the couple's legal status?
C. Andy will invest in Kim's education regardless of legal ties.Explanation:
if Andy and Kim are not married:
initial investment $14,000
expected benefits $20,000 x (1 - 20%) = $16,000
expected gain = $16,000 - $14,000 = $2,000
If Andy and Kim are married:
expected benefits [$20,000 x (1 - 20%)] + ($20,000 x 20% x 1/2) = $16,000 + $2,000 = $18,000
expected gain = $18,000 - $14,000 = $4,000
Current assets for Bush Corporation are $260,000.00 and total assets are $600,000.00. Current liabilities are $170,000.00 and total liabilities are $300,000.00. Included in the current assets are merchandise inventory and prepaid expenses of $25,000.00 and $15,000.00, respectively. What is the acid-test ratio? A. 1.56 B. 0.87
Answer:
The acid test ratio is 1.38
Explanation:
The acid test ratio gives an indication of how easy it is for the company to pay back its short term obligations without considering inventory.
Acid test ratio=current assets-merchandise inventory/current liabilities
current assets is $260,000
current liabilities is $170,000
merchandise inventory is $25,000
acid test ratio=($260,000-$25,000)/$170,000= 1.38
The acid test ratio is 1.38 which is not of the options given
The only that is not as liquid as other current assets is merchandise inventory,hence deducted from current assets.
For the year ending December 31, 2020, Splish Brothers Inc. reports net income $133,000 and cash dividends $90,000. Determine the balance in retained earnings at December 31 assuming the balance in retained earnings on January 1, 2020, was $230,000. (List items that increase retained earnings first.) Splish Brothers Inc. Retained Earnings Statement December 31, 2020 Balance, January 1 $ Less : Net Income / (Loss) Less : Dividends Balance, December 31 $
Answer:
Therefore retained earnings at December 31 is $273,000
Explanation:
Items that increase retail earnings include:
Beginning balance
Net income
Cash dividends
Beginning balance as at January 1,2020 = $ 230,000
Net income = $ 133,000
Cash dividends = ($90,000)
Therefore, retained earnings = Beginning balance + Net income -Cash dividends
= $230,000 + $133,000 - $90,000
= $ 273,000
Paul Company had 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2016. On September 30, 2016, Paul sold 50,000 shares of common stock for cash. Paul also had 11,000 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding throughout 2016. The preferred stock is $100 par, 5%, and is convertible into 3 shares of common for each share of preferred. Paul also had 520, 8%, convertible bonds outstanding throughout 2016. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of common stock. The bonds sold originally at face value. Reported net income for 2016 was $320,000 with a 40% tax rate. Common shareholders received $2.20 per share dividends after preferred dividends were paid in 2016. RequiredCompute basic and diluted earnings per share for 2016. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
basic earnings per share (EPS) = $2.36
diluted EPS = $1.64
Explanation:
weighted average common stocks:
January 1: 100,000 shares x 12/12 = 100,000
September 30: sold 50,000 shares x 3/12 = 12,500
total 112,500
net income = $320,000
preferred dividends = $100 x 5% x 11,000 = $55,000
diluted shares:
preferred stocks = 11,000 x 3 = 33,000
convertible bonds = 520 x 30 = 15,600
total 48,600
basic earnings per share (EPS) = (net income - preferred dividends) / weighted average shares = ($320,000 - $55,000) / 112,500 = $2.36
diluted EPS = (net income - preferred dividends )/ (weighted average shares + convertible preferred stocks + convertible bonds) = ($320,000 - $55,000) / (112,500 + 48,600) = $1.64

A company is set to launch a new product line. At first, only the brand's logo is displayed in various media, without any explanation of what the brand is or what the brand does. Greater familiarity with the logo, in and of itself, tends to make consumers like the brand more. This strategy is known as:
Answer:
Mere exposure effect.
Explanation:
Just as the name sounds "mere exposure", this is explained to be a phenomenon where trust is build on familiarity. Constant usage, constant familiarizing with a particular person, object or product makes a person trust it more than others or its substitutes. This effect according to research and natural order is seen to be psychological that is why the company in the case above used only their logo in all media sampling and other adverts first just to trap the minds of those familiar with their brands before the advert. Simply here, a user can easily trust to buy the new product based on the older products.
Suppose a company, Re-Tire, has come out with a new approach to solve the problems of punctures. Its new wheel, which is made of steel, allows rubber "tread segments" of tire tread to be bolted directly to the wheel (see image; tire not actual size). No air is required, so the tire can’t go flat, and if one of the segments becomes damaged, the operator using basic hand tools can merely replace the segment without removing the wheel and dismounting and reinstalling the reparied tire. With an ordinary tire, the wheel has to be removed and the tire dismounted at a shop using special tools. The benefit is that the operator can be back to work almost immediately.Assume Re-Tire has a patent on the technology to create the wheel and tread segments, which requires extensive computer simulation in the design of the tread segments. Assume as well that because the technology for creating the rubber segments is less complex than that for air-filled tires, the cost of production for Re-Tire is approximately 20% lower than for regular tires. The steel wheels for the segments are roughly equivalent in cost to those used for regular air-filled tires (the wheels are not interchangeable). Around the world there are about 800,000 skid steer loaders in operation in various industries, and 90% of them use one of just two tire sizes. The replacement tire market for the loaders is over $700 million per year. What price should Re-Tire set for its combination wheel/tread segment product? Assume the standard wheel/air tire combination is $250.
Answer:
The description of the given question is described in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Throughout my personal view, the cost including its combination wheel/tread sequence good or service should be set at $200 for Re-Tire. As the conventional wheel/air gear combined effect is $250 as well as the level of manufacture besides Re-Tire is about 20% lower than those for frequent tires.The profit of such a 20% reduction costs should be managed to pass forward with employees to gain the start promoting including the latest design and technical method that used produce such tires, and several other costs associated with that as well.The value proposition and perhaps even the accessibility added benefit will surely make clients consider buying but also setting up such tires, and also becoming frequent or long-term buyers of Re-Tire.Arkansas Corp. is preparing its statement of cash flows using the indirect method. It provides the following information about transactions for the year: Plant assets, netlong dashbeginning balance: $ 110 comma 000 Plant assets, netlong dashending balance: $ 145 comma 000 Equipment was purchased for $ 65 comma 000 with cash. Equipment with a net asset value of $12,000 was sold for $ 17 comma 000. Depreciation Expense of $ 17 comma 000 was recorded during the year. What was the amount of net cash provided by (used for) investing activities?
Answer:
($48,000)
Explanation:
The computation of net cash provided by investing activities is shown below:-
Cash flow from investing activities
Purchase of Equipment ($65,000)
Sale of Existing Equipment $17,000
Net Cash from Investing activities ($48,000)
As the investing activities recorded those cash transactions which are related to the purchase and sale of long term assets. The purchased is cash outflow as cash is gone so it would be shown in a negative sign while the sale is cash inflow as cash is come so it would be shown in a positive sign
4. The prices of discount bonds (all with maturity value of $1,000) maturing in years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are given below. Price Time to Maturity 920 1 860 2 790 3 700 4 600 5 What is the yield to maturity on a risk-free 5% bond due in 5 years (also with maturity value of $1,000)
Answer:
YTM = 10.5%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The cash flow related with the 5% bond are computed below:
t = 0 1 (50) 2 (50) 3(50) 4 (50) 5(1050)
Now,
We calculate the discount factors which is given below:
1 /1 + r₁ = 920/1000 = 0.92
1/(1 + r₂)² = 860/1000 = 0.86
1/(1 + r₃)³ = 790/1000 = 0.79
1/(1 + r₄)⁴ = 700/1000 = 0.7
1/(1 + r₅)⁵ = 600/1000 0.6
Thus,
P₅% bond = 50 (0.92) + 50 (0.86) + 50 (0.79) + 50 (0.7) +1050 (0.6)
=$793. 50
For the yield to maturity (YTM) is refereed to as the IRR of this bond.
Now to solve for the YTM we have teh following.
P₅% bond = 50/YTM ║ 1- 1/(1 +YTM)⁵║ + 1000/(1+ YTM)⁵
793.5 = 50/YTM ║ 1- 1/(1 +YTM)⁵║ + 1000/(1+ YTM)⁵
Therefore
YTM = 10.5%

The Polishing Department of Major Company has the following production and manufacturing cost data for September. Materials are entered at the beginning of the process. Production: Beginning inventory 1,600 units that are 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion costs; units started during the period are 42,900; ending inventory of 5,000 units 10% complete as to conversion costs. Manufacturing costs: Beginning inventory costs, comprised of $20,000 of materials and $43,180 of conversion costs; materials costs added in Polishing during the month, $175,800; labor and overhead applied in Polishing during the month, $125,680 and $257,140, respectively. Instructions:a. compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs for the month of septemberb. compute the unit costs for materials and conversion costs for the month.c. determine the costs to be assigne to the units transfered out in the process.
Answer:
a. compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs
materials = 44,500
conversion costs = 40,000
b. compute the unit costs for materials and conversion costs for the month
materials = $4.40
conversion = $10.65
c. determine the costs to be assign to the units transferred out in the process
Cost of units transferred out in the process = $594,475
Explanation:
a. compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs
materials
Units Completed and Transferred to Finished Goods (100%×39,500) =39,500
Units in Closing Work In Process (100%×5,000) = 5,000
Total = 44,500
conversion costs
Units Completed and Transferred to Finished Goods (100%×39,500) =39,500
Units in Closing Work In Process (10%×5,000) =
500
Total = 40,000
Calculation of Units Completed and Transferred to Finished Goods
1,600+42,900-5,000 = 39,000
b. compute the unit costs for materials and conversion costs for the month
materials
Opening Work In Process Costs = $20,000
Add Costs Incurred during the Period = $175,800
Total = $195,800
Unit costs for materials = Total Costs / Equivalent units of production for materials
= $195,800 / 44,500
= $4.40
conversion
Opening Work In Process Costs = $43,180
Add Costs Incurred during the Period($125,680 + $257,140) = $382,820
Total = $426,000
Unit costs for conversion = Total Costs / Equivalent units of production for conversion
= $426,000 / 40,000
= $10.65
c. determine the costs to be assign to the units transferred out in the process
Total Unit Cost Calculation
Materials = $4.40
Conversion = $10.65
Total = $15.05
Cost of units transferred out in the process = 39,500 × $15.05
= $594,475
The risk-free rate is 7%. The expected market rate of return is 15%. If you expect a stock with a beta of 1.3 to offer a rate of return of 12%, you should Group of answer choices sell the stock short because it is underpriced. buy the stock because it is underpriced. sell short the stock because it is overpriced. None of the options, as the stock is fairly priced. buy the stock because it is overpriced.
Answer: Sell short the stock because it is overpriced.
Explanation:
To find out if the stock is overpriced or underpriced, you would need to check to see if the Expected return is indeed 12%.
With the given variables you can do this with the Capital Asset Pricing Model.
The formula is,
Er = Rf + b(Rm + Rf)
Where,
Er is the expected return
Rf is the Risk free rate
b is the Beta
Rm is the Market Rate
Inserting the figures,
= 7% + 1.3(15% - 7%)
= 17.4%
The stock should have an expected return of 17.4% but only has an expected return of 12%. It is underperforming and is therefore OVERPRICED. To benefit from this you should sell the stock short so that when the market prices adjust you can make a profit.
During April, the first production department of a process manufacturing system completed its work on 355,000 units of a product and transferred them to the next department. Of these transferred units, 71,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and 284,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 65% complete with respect to materials and 35% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of April, 93,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 90% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion. The production department had $1,106,991 of direct materials and $800,823 of conversion costs charged to it during April. Also, its beginning inventory of $207,646 consists of $165,239 of direct materials cost and $42,407 of conversion costs.
1. Compute the direct materials cost per equivalent unit for April. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)
2. Compute the conversion cost per equivalent unit for April. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)
3. Using the FIFO method, assign April's costs to the department's output-specifically, its units transferred to the next department and its ending work in process inventory. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1. $3.01
2.$2.20
3.
units transferred to the next department = $1,781,006
ending work in process inventory = $333,777
Explanation:
1. direct materials cost per equivalent unit for April.
The first step is to calculate the Total Equivalent units for Direct Materials
To finish opening work in progress ( 71,000 units × 0% ) = 0
Started and Completed during the period ( 284,000 × 100%) = 284,000
Closing Work In Process ( 93,000 × 90%) = 83,700
Total Equivalent units for Direct Materials = 367,700
Then Calculate the cost cost per equivalent unit
Cost per equivalent unit = Current Period Cost / Total Equivalent units
= $1,106,991 / 367,700
= $3.01058
= $3.01
2. conversion cost per equivalent unit for April.
The first step is to calculate the Total Equivalent units for Conversion
To finish opening work in progress ( 71,000 units × 60% ) = 42,600
Started and Completed during the period ( 284,000 × 100%) = 284,000
Closing Work In Process ( 93,000 × 40%) = 37,200
Total Equivalent units for Direct Materials = 363,800
Then Calculate the cost cost per equivalent unit
Cost per equivalent unit = Current Period Cost / Total Equivalent units
= $800,823 / 363,800
= $2.20127
= $2.20
3.assign April's costs to the department's output
Completed and Transferred
Opening Work In Process Cost $207,646
Add To finish Opening Work In Process :
Direct Materials ( 0 × $3.01) $0
Conversion Costs ( 42,600 × $2.20) $93,720
Add Started and Completed Costs (284,000 × $5.21) $1,479,640
Total Cost transferred $1,781,006
Ending Work In Process
Direct Materials ( 83,700 × $3.01) = $251,937
Conversion ( 37,200 × $2.20) = $81,840
Total Cost = $333,777

Carey Company had sales in 2019 of $1,658,800 on 63,800 units. Variable costs totaled $1,148,400, and fixed costs totaled $467,000.A new raw material is available that will decrease the variable costs per unit by 20% (or $3.60). However, to process the new raw material, fixed operating costs will increase by $94,000. Management feels that one-half of the decline in the variable costs per unit should be passed on to customers in the form of a sales price reduction. The marketing department expects that this sales price reduction will result in a 5% increase in the number of units sold.
Requried:
a. Prepare a projected CVP income statement for 2020, assuming the changes have not been made.
b. Prepare a projected CVP income statement for 2017, assuming that changes are made as described.
Answer:
Carey Company
a) Projected CVP Income Statement for 2020 (without changes):
Sales $1,658,800
Variable costs 1,148,400
Contribution $510,400
Fixed Costs 467,000
Profit $43,400
b) Projected CVP Income Statement for 2020 (with changes)
Sales $1,621,158
Variable costs 964,656

Explanation:
a) Sales units will increase from 63,800 to 66,990 (63,800 x 1.05)
b) Old selling price = $1,658,800/63,800 = $26 per unit
c) New selling price = $26.00 - $1.80 = $24.20 per unit
d) Old variable cost per unit = $1,148,400/63,800 = $18
e) New variable cost per unit = $18 - 3.60 = $14.40
f) Sales Value = $24.20 x 66,990 = $1,621,158
g) Variable costs = $14.40 x 66,990 = $964,656
h) New fixed cost = $467,000 + 94,000 = $561,000
i) A CVP Income Statement is a Cost Volume Profit income statement whereby the costs are identified according to their cost behaviors of whether they are fixed or variable or semi-fixed.
Samson Company is an engineering firm. Many of the employees are engineers who are working individually on different projects. Most of the design work takes place on computers. The computers are connected by a network and employees can also "surf" the internet through their desk top computers. The president is concerned about productivity among his engineers. He has acquired software that allows him to monitor each engineer's computer work. Anytime during the day, the president can observe on her screen exactly what the different engineers are working on. The engineers are quite unhappy with this monitoring process. They feel it is unethical for the president to be able to access what they are working on without their knowledge. Describe the pros and cons of monitoring through observing the computer work of the engineers.
Answer:
Both pros and cons are explanied below.
Explanation:
Pros: First of all, the president of the firm can know exactly what the employees are looking at. Secondly, due to that previous reason, the president can know and be aware of, if there is one or more than one person that may surf in the internet for thing that are not appropiate (illegal weapons,etc) and therefore to contact police about. Moreover, the president will also have information about what every employee look at and therefore to comprehend or at least try to understand the employee better, but in an unethical way.
Cons: Well, in this case, the president is doing a very harmful and unethical technique in order to obtain what only he cares about and therefore that he is thinking very individually and that can harm the organization in a huge way. Moreover, the president will broke the privacy of the employees by doing it and that action will impact negatively in the workers and that will influece as well in their work in the company and consequently in the productivity of the firm.
Positive Messages and the Writing Process
Organizations exchange information internally and externally. External messages go to customers, vendors, the government, and other business partners. Internal messages travel upward to supervisors, downward to employees, and horizontally among workers. Understanding the different types of business messages and following the 3-x-3 writing process will help you write more effective professional messages.
Match the message content area with the correct types of messages.
Sales pitches, requests for favors (persuasive positive negative)
Replies, goodwill messages, direct claims (persuasive positive negative)
Bad news, refusals (persuasive positive negative)
Consider the scenario about a positive message, and then answer the question.
Gilberto is composing an e-mail that explains the terms of a recent business transaction. He has determined the purpose of the message, analyzed his audience, and determined its reactions.
According to the 3-x-3 writing process, what actions make up his next steps?
a. Make a list of points to cover.
b. Plan for feedback.
c. Check for mechanical problems.
d. Collect information.
e. Compose the first draft.
While most business communication is now done electronically, there remain situations in which a business letter is most appropriate.
Messages delivered through business letters are less likely to reach (unintended recipients? or the media? or competitor?)
than messages delivered through (e-mail? or phone calls? face to face conversations?)
Thus, business letters are more (desired? exclusive? confidentia
Answer: Refer to Explanation
Explanation:
1. a. Sales pitches, requests for favors - Persuasive.
When writing a Sales Pitch or Request for Favors Message, one must try to convince the intended receiver to buy the good being sold or to be willing to grant the favor requested. For this reason, the tone has to be persuasive.
b. Replies, goodwill messages, direct claims - Positive
These types of messages have to have a positive tone because they should come across in a friendly way so that the receiver may accept it as such.
c. Bad news, refusals - Negative
These are negative messages and as such should have a negative and indirect tone so that the receiver may understand the gravity of the message.
2. a. Make a list of points to cover.
d. Collect information.
e. Compose the first draft
The 3-x-3 writing process is a method of writing used to encourage a good writing flow.
It is divided into 3 stages being, Prewriting, Writing and Revising.
During Prewriting, one must determine why the are writing as well as who the message is intended for. Gilberto has done this already so the next step is the Writing stage.
The Writing stage includes, Making a list of points to cover so that the writing may be orderly and have the relevant information. It also includes researching where you collect information for the message to be written. And then finally composing the first draft which can then be scrutinized in the next stage.
3. Messages delivered through business letters are less likely to reach unintended recipients than messages delivered through e-mail.
Thus, business letters are more confidential.
Messages through Business letters have the intended recipients stated and usually get to the intended recipient as a result. Emails can sometimes be mixed up.
That fact means that business letters can carry more sensitive information and as such are more confidential.
If inventory is being valued at cost and the price level is steadily rising, which of the three costing methods (FIFO, LIFO, weighted-average) will yield the lowest annual income tax expense?
Answer:
LIFO
Explanation:
It will be the one that give higher Cost of goods sold. We also know that:
Cost of goods sold = Opening Inventory + Inventory Purchases - Closing Inventory
So this means the lower the closing inventory the higher the cost of goods sold and in time of price increases it will be more appropriate to use LIFO method which will reduce the Closing Inventory and this will increase the cost of goods sold and thus decrease in profit. This reduced profit means that the tax expense will also be lower in value.
Similarly the second attractive option will be the Weighted Average and the least attractive option would be FIFO costing method.
Sheffield Corp. began operations on April 1 by issuing 52,500 shares of $4 par value common stock for cash at $15 per share. In addition, Sheffield issued 2,600 shares of $1 par value preferred stock for $3 per share. Journalize the issuance of the common and preferred shares.
Answer:
1. For Common Stock issued:
Debit cash for $787,500
Credit Common Stock for $210,000
Credit Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par- Common Stock for $577,500
2. For Preferred Stock Issued:
Debit cash for $7,800
Credit Preferred Stock for $2,600
Credit Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par- Preffered Stock for $5,200
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for how the journal entries will look exactly in the book.
Before journalizing the issuance, the following calculations are done first:
Cash received form common stock issued = 52,500 * $15 = $787,500
Common stock issued par value = 52,500 * $4 = $210,000
Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par- Common Stock = $787,500 - $210,000 = $577,500
Cash received form preferred stock issued = 2,600 * $3 = $7,800
Preferred stock issued par value = 2,600 * $1 = $2,600
Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par- Preferred Stock = $7,800 - $2,600 = $5,200
Northwest Fur Co. started the year with $92,000 of merchandise inventory on hand. During the year, $425,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 1/15, n/45. All discounts were taken. Northwest paid freight-in charges of $7,000. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $5,000 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $372,000. What is ending inventory
Answer:
$ 142,800.00
Explanation:
The ending inventory can be computed by rearranging the cost of goods sold formula:
cost of goods sold=Beginning inventory+net purchases-ending inventory
ending inventory=beginning inventory+net purchases-cost of goods sold
beginning inventory is $92,000
Net purchases=purchases-discount+freight-in charges-purchase return
net purchases=$425,000-($425,000*1%)+$7000-($5000*99%)=$422,800.00
cost of goods sold is $372,000
ending inventory=$92,000+$422,800-$372,000=$ 142,800.00

Ned's Natural Foods sells unshelled peanuts by the pound Historically, Ned has observed that daily demand is normally distributed with a mean of 80 pounds and a standard deviation of 10 pounds Lead time also appears normally distributed with a mean of eight days and a standard deviation of one day. Use Table What ROP would provide a stock out risk of 10 percent during lead time? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) rope units What is the expected number of units (pounds) short per cycle? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Expected number of units
Answer:
a) 749
b) 4.073
Explanation:
Given:
Mean = demand = 80 pounds
Standard deviation of demand = 10 pounds
Lead time = 8 days
Standard deviation of lead time = 1 day
a) What ROP would provide a stock out risk of 10 percent during lead time.
To find this re-order point (ROP) quantity, take the formula:
[tex] ROP = d(LT) + z \sqrt{ LT \sigma_d ^2 + LT^2 \sigma_L_T ^2} [/tex]
Here, service level = 100%-10% = 90%,
Thus z at 90% = ±1.28
[tex] ROP = 80(8) + 1.28 \sqrt{8* 10^2 + (8)^2*(1)^2} [/tex]
[tex] ROP = 640 + 1.28\sqrt{800 + 64} [/tex]
= 640 + 1.28* 84.85
= 748.61
≈ 749 units
b) What is the expected number of units (pounds) short per cycle.
Find the number of units shorts per cycle. Take the formula:
[tex] E(n) = E(z) * \sigma d_L_T [/tex]
[
Where E(z) = standardized number of shorts = 0.048
[tex] \sigma d_L_T [/tex] = standard deviation of lead time demand = 84.85
Therefore,
E(n) = 0.048 * 84.85
= 4.073

Data concerning that product appear below:Per UnitPercent of Sales Selling price$240100% Variable expenses6025% Contribution margin$18075% Fixed expenses are $364,000 per month. The company is currently selling 5,900 units per month. Required: The marketing manager believes that a $21,000 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 130 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
Answer:
Effect on income= $2,400 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $240
Variable expenses= $60
Contribution margin= $180
Fixed expenses= $364,000 per month.
The company is currently selling 5,900 units per month.
The marketing manager believes that a $21,000 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 130 unit increase in monthly sales.
First, we need to calculate the actual income:
Actual income= 5,900*180 - 364,000= $698,000
Now, the income with changes:
Income= 6,030*180 - 385,000= $700,400
Effect on income= $2,400 increase
