According to Walter Shewhart:_______
a) chance causes should be eliminated whenever possible
b) assignable causes could be ignored if they did not cause too much variation
c) the mean, uppercontrollimit, lower controllimit and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines in the control chart
d) chance causes could be fixed
e) a control chart has time on the top axis and a plot of sample measurements
Answer:
c) the mean, upper control limit, lower control limit and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines in the control chart.
Explanation:
Walter Shewhart is regarded as an important personality in the history of quality management. He asserted that the behavior of real processes had the tendency to change as time changed and it was not the behaviur of theoretical random distributions.
Walter Shewhart posited that causes of variation could be divided into two which are chance cause and assignable cause. He maintained that chance causes could be ignored if they did not cause too much variation, and any attempt to eliminate them usually made the problem worse. He however posited that it was possible to fix assignable causes.
Walter Shewhart invented control chart in order to differentiate between variations caused by random events and trends that indicated assignable causes. There is time and a plot of sample measurements on the bottom axis of a control chart. The mean, upper control limit, lower control limit, and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines.
Based on the above explanatio, the correct option is c) the mean, upper control limit, lower control limit and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines in the control chart.
You were hired as a consultant to the ABC Company, whose target capital structure is 35% debt, 10% preferred, and 55% common equity. The interest rate on new debt is 6.50%, the yield on the preferred is 6.00%, the cost of equity is 11.25%, and the tax rate is 40%. What is ABC's WACC
Answer:
8.15%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital is the sum of costs of different sources of finance multiplied by their respective weights as shown by the formula below:
WACC=(cost of equity*weight of equity)+(cost of preferred stock*weight of preferred stock)+(after-tax cost of debt*weight of debt)
cost of equity=11.25%
weight of equity=55%
cost of preferred stock=6.00%
weight of preferred stock=10%
after-tax cost of debt=6.50%*(1-40%)=3.90%
weight of debt=35%
WACC=(11.25%*55%)+(6.00%*10%)+(3.90%*35%)
WACC=8.15%

The COM 341 Medical Supplies is in charge of maintaining hospital supplies at UVic Hospital. The lead time for replenishment deliveries is 6 days. It was calculated that the mean demand for a 3-day period was 60 units, with a standard deviation of 7 units. Please assume that demand follows a normal distribution. COM 341 Medical Supplies would like to maintain a 90% service level.
Required:
What is the appropriate reorder point?
Answer:
reorder point = 132.67 ≈ 133 units
Explanation:
z score for service level 90% = 1.28
lead time = 6 days
mean demand 60 units for 3 days period, 20 per day
standard deviation of demand = 7 units
reorder point = (20 x 6) + {1.28 + √[(7x7)/3] x √6} = 120 + 12.67 = 132.67 ≈ 133 units
Suppose there are only two firms that sell smartphones: Flashfone and Pictech. The payoff matrix that follows shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn, depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its phones. For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Flashfone prices low and Pictech prices high, Flashfone will earn a profit of $10 million and Pictech will earn a profit of $3 million. (Hint: Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Flashfone and Pictech are both profit-maximizing firms.) Pictech High Price Low Price Flashfone High Price 8, 8 3, 10 Low Price 10, 3 5, 5 If Flashfone prices high, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses alow price, and if Flashfone prices low, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses ahigh price. If Pictech prices high, Flashfone will make more profit if it chooses alow price, and if Pictech prices low, Flashfone will make more profit if it chooses ahigh price. Considering all of the information given, pricing highis not a dominant strategy for both Flashfone and Pictech. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game
Answer:
Flashfone and Pictech
The Nash equilibrium is achieved when Pictech and Flashfone price their smartphones high without the other party changing their strategy.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Pictech
High Low
High 8 8 3 10
Flashfone
Low 10 3 5 5
b) By acting at the Nash equilibrium and pricing their smartphones high, Pictech and Flashfone achieve a payoff of $8 million respectively. This payoff level does not put any of the two firms at a disadvantage.
Cartels are: unstable and tend to lose market power over time. firms that face perfectly elastic demand curves and increase profits by restricting output and raising prices. like monopolies that try to earn normal or competitive profits. extremely powerful and able to keep prices and profits high indefinitely
Answer:
unstable and tend to lose market power over time.
Explanation:
A cartel is a group of countries or firms that have reached an agreement to work together in order to influence or decide market prices for goods and services by controlling sales and the level of production or quantity of output.
In a cartel model, business firms come together to coordinate their business decisions in order to act as a multi-plant monopoly, wherein the quantity of output or level of production is divided into several production plants.
The main purpose of having cartels do this is to make marginal cost (MC) equal to marginal revenue (MR) in the various production plants, so as to create monopoly profits by making sure each plant has its own cost.
Hence, cartels are generally unstable and tend to lose market power over time due to varying economic factors.

Suppose that an increase in the price of melons from $0.50 to $1.50 per pound increases the quantity of melons that melon farmers produce from 2 million pounds to 4 million pounds. The price elasticity of supply in this case indicates that supply is Group of answer choices
Answer: elastic
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply will be:
The percentage change in price will be:
= (1.50 - 0.50)/0.50 x 100
= 1.00/0.50 × 100
= 200
The percentage change in quantity will be:
= (4 -2)/2 x 100
= 2/2 × 100
= 100
Elasticity = % change in quantity/% Change in Price = 200/100 = 2
Since elasticity = 2, this indicates supply is elastic as it's greater than 1.
A company purchased a van at a cost of $42,000 and expects it can be sold for $6,000 after 120,000 miles of service. Assuming the units-of-production method is used and the van is driven for 24,000 miles during the first year, the depreciation at the end of the first year would be
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $7,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A company purchased a van for $42,000 and expects it can be sold for $6,000 after 120,000 miles of service.
To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in miles]*miles driven
For 24,000 miles:
Annual depreciation= [(42,000 - 6,000) / 120,000]*24,000
Annual depreciation= 0.3*24,000
Annual depreciation= $7,200
Suppose the selling price of one-month forward Japanese yens is $0.010499 per yen, and the spot price is $0.010495 per yen. Complete the following formula for the per annum percentage premium (or discount) to calculate what the yen is worth in the one-month forward market.
Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information:
The per annum forward premium = [tex]\dfrac{Forward \ price - spot \ price}{spot \ price} \times \dfrac{12}{1}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{0.010499 - 0.010495}{0.010499} \times \dfrac{12}{1}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{0.000004}{0.010495} \times 12[/tex]
[tex]= 0.0003811 \times 12[/tex]
= 0.004573
= 0.4573%
Since this is positive and because it is favorable, the price of the yen would rise in the one-month forward market making it premium.
We can conclude that: The yen is at premium against US dollar, due to the fact that it is worth more in one-month forward market.

he nature of B2B markets requires ________. Group of answer choices companies to focus primarily on selling products that end up as components for finished goods a more personal relationship between the buyer and seller than in B2C markets investment of more resources primarily on service sectors impersonal communication at regular intervals through mediums such as direct mail organizations to invest more on consumers than suppliers to maintain their bus
Answer:
a more personal relationship between the buyer and seller than in B2C markets
Explanation:
B2B (business-to-business) is a marketing strategy that deals with meeting the needs of other businesses, by selling products or services to the organizations for resale to other consumers, used in production of goods or for the operation of an organisation.
B2B (business-to-business) model focuses on facilitating sales transactions between businesses.
Under the B2B, the producer sells its products directly to other businesses such as wholesalers or retailers and not the end consumers.
On the other hand, the B2C market involves businesses selling their goods and services directly to the end consumers or users for personal use.
The nature of B2B markets requires a more personal relationship between the buyer and seller than in B2C markets.

You are valuing multiple steady-state companies in the same industry. Company A is projected to earn $160 in EBITA, grow at 2 percent per year, and generate ROICs equal to 15 percent. Company B is projected to earn $160 in EBITA, grow at 6 percent per year, and generate ROICs equal to 10 percent. Both companies have an operating tax rate of 25 percent and a cost of capital of 10 percent. What are the enterprise-value-EBITA multiples for both companies
Answer:
Company A
EBITA = $160m, growth = 2%, Cost of Capital = 10%, ROIC = 15%
Value = (EBITA * (1 - Growth/ROIC)) / (WACC - g)
Value = (160*(1 - 2/15)) / (0.1-0.02)
Value = 138.67 / 0.08
Value = 1,733
EV/EBITA = Value / EBITA
EV/EBITA = 1,733/160
EV/EBITA = 10.83x
Company B
EBITA = $160m, growth = 6%, Cost of Capital = 10%, ROIC = 10%
Value = (EBITA * (1 - Growth/ROIC)) / (WACC - g)
Value = (160*(1 - 6/10)) / (0.1-0.06)
Value = 64 / 0.04
Value = 1,600
EV/EBITA = Value / EBITA
EV/EBITA = 1,600/160
EV/EBITA = 10x

Fiscal Cliff Inc. has a capital structure that consists of 15 percent common stock and 85 percent long-term debt. In order to calculate Fiscal Cliff’s weighted average cost of capital, an analyst has accumulated the following information: · The company currently has 25-year bonds outstanding with annual coupon payments of 8 percent. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and sell for $700. · The risk-free rate is 3 percent. · The market risk premium is 8 percent. · The beta on Fiscal Cliff's common stock is 2.3. · The company's retained earnings are sufficient so that they do not have to issue any new common stock to fund capital projects. · The company's tax rate is 40 percent. Given this information, what is Fiscal Cliff's WACC? A. 9.21% B. 12.58% C. 8.17% D. 7.63% E. 11.35%
Answer:
WACC= 8.7%
Explanation:
The weighted Average cost of Capital is the average cost of capital for the different sources of long-term capital available to a firm weighted according to the proportion each source of finance bears to the total capital in the pool.
The Weighted average cost of debt can be worked out using the following steps:
Step 1: Cost of debt
The cost of debt is the same as the yield to maturity. The yield to maturity to Maturity can be used to work out the cost of debt using the formula below:
YM =( C + F-P/n) ÷ ( 1/2× (F+P))
C- annual coupon,
F- face value ,
P- current price,
n- number of years to maturity
YM - Yield to maturity
C- 8%× 1000 =80 , P= 700, F- 1000
AYM = 80 + (1000-700)/25÷ 1/2× (1000+700)
= 92 ÷ 850
= Yield to maturity = 10.82%
After-tax cost of debt=Before-tax × (1-T)
After-tax cost of debt = 10.82%× (1-0.4) =6.49%
Step 2 : Cost of equity
This can be computed using the Capital Asset pricing model
Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
Ke =? , Rf- 3%, β- 2.3, Rm-Rf= 8%
Ke= 3% + 2.3× 8%
Cost of equity = Ke =21.4%
Step 3: WACC
WACC = (15%*21.4.5) + (85%*6.49)=8.7%
WACC= 8.7%

It costs Sunland Company $12 of variable and $5 of fixed costs to produce one bathroom scale which normally sells for $35. A foreign wholesaler offers to purchase 3200 scales at $15 each. Sunland would incur special shipping costs of $1 per scale if the order were accepted. Sunland has sufficient unused capacity to produce the 3200 scales. If the special order is accepted, what will be the effect on net income
Answer:
The Net income will increase by $6,400
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the effect on the net income
As the fixed cost is irrelevant to special order
Net income = Increase in revenue - Increase in Variable cost - Special shipping cost
Where
Increase in revenue = 3200 x $15 = $48,000
Increase in Variable cost = 3200 x $12 = $38,400
Special shipping cost = 3200 x $1 = $3,200
Placing values in the formula
Net income = $48,000 - $38,400 - $3,200
Net income = $6,400
Hence, the net income will increase by $6,400

You bought a share of Bavarian Sausage stock for $46.50 at the beginning of the year. During the year the stock paid a $2.75 dividend and at the end of the year it trades at $52.75. What is the total return of your stock investment
Answer:
$9
Explanation:
Given the information above, total return of stock investment is computed as;
Total returns = Dividend + Increase in stock price
Dividend = $2.75
Increase in stock price = $52.75 - $46.5 = $6.25
= $2.75 + $6.25
= $9
Total return of my stock investment is $9
Dollar returns
= (9/46.5) × 100
= 19.35%
