Answer:
For 8,500 units, proposal A provides a higher income ($3,000).
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Proposal A:
Fixed cost= $50,000
Unitary cost= $12
Proposal B:
Fixed cost= $70,000
Unitary cost= $10
We need to choose the proposal with the higher income if 8,500 units are produced.
Proposal A:
Net income= 8,500*(20 - 12) - 50,000
Net income= $18,000
Proposal B:
Net income= 8,500*(20 - 10) - 70,000
Net income= $15,000
For 8,500 units, proposal A provides a higher income ($3,000).
After visiting several automobile dealerships, Richard selects the car he wants. He likes its $20,000 price, but financing through the dealer is no bargain. He has $4,000 cash for a down payment, so he needs a loan of $16,000. In shopping at several banks for an installment loan, he learns that interest on most automobile loans is quoted at add-on rates. That is, during the life of the loan, interest is paid on the full amount borrowed even though a portion of the principal has been paid back. Richard borrows $16,000 for a period of four years at an add-on interest rate of 11 percent.
a. What is the total interest on Richard's loan?
Total interest
b. What is the total cost of the car?
Total cost
c. What is the monthly payment?
Monthly payment
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The total interest is
= Principal × rate of interest × time period
= $16,000 × 4 years × 11%
= $7,040
b. The total cost of the car is
= Price of the car + interest
= $20,000 + $7,040
= $27,040
c. The monthly payment is
= (Principal amount + interest) ÷ number of months
= ($16,000 + $7,040) ÷ 48 months
= $480
The Osgood county refuse department runs two recycling centers. Center 1 costs $40 to run for an eight hour day. In a typical day, 140 pounds of glass and 60 pounds of aluminum are deposited at Center 1. Center 2 costs $50 for an eight hour day, with 100lbs of glass and 180lbs of aluminum deposited per day. The county has a commitment to deliver at least 1540lbs of glass and 1440lbs of aluminum per week. How many days per week should the county open each center to minimize its cost and still meet the requirements?
Answer:
Center 1 should be open 7 days a week, and center 2 should be open 6 days a week. Total cost = $580
Explanation:
minimize the following equation 40A + 50B
where:
A = center 1
B = center 2
constraints:
140A + 100B ≥ 1540
60A + 180B ≥ 1440
A ≤ 7
B ≤ 7
A, B ≥ 0
using Solver, the optimal solution is 7A + 6B = 580
You are a supplier of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Production of the circuit boards consists of several steps – Surface Mounting, Baking, and Final Assembly. Surface Mounting puts integrated circuits (ICs) and other components on a PCB. These PCBs are then Baked as a batch and kept in an oven for some time so that the ICs are soldered onto the PCBs. Finally, these PCBs are taken and manually assembled into a case, and wired with connectors. The processing rate at the Surface Mounting station is 15 PCBs/minute, the processing rate for Baking is 5 PCBs/minute, and the processing rate for Final Assembly is 3 PCBs/minute. If there are on average 24 units of (work in process) inventory and the system is working at capacity, what is the flow (throughput) time for PCBs?
Answer:
the flow (throughput) time for PCBs is 40 units per minute
Explanation:
Given that;
Work in progress WIP = 24
we calculate the time spent to make the PCBs, lead time
Processing rate at the Surface Mounting station is 15 PCBs/minute
so time taken by a single PCB at the SM operation = 1/15 min
Processing rate for Baking is 5 PCBs/minute
so time taken by a single PCB at the baking operation = 1/5 min
the processing rate for Final Assembly is 3 PCBs/minute
so time taken by a single PCB at the assembly = 1/3 min
∴ total time taken will be;
(1/15) + (1/5) + (1/3)
= 0.6 min
Now, using Little's Law;
Working in progress WIP = throughput × lead time
Throughput = WIP / Lead time
so we substitute
Throughput = 24 / 0.6 min
Throughput = 40 units per minute
Therefore the flow (throughput) time for PCBs is 40 units per minute
A production department's output for the most recent month consisted of 8,800 units completed and transferred to the next stage of production and 5,800 units in ending Work in Process inventory. The units in ending Work in Process inventory were 50% complete with respect to both direct materials and conversion costs. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the month, assuming the company uses the weighted average method.
Answer:
11,700 units
Explanation:
Calculation for the equivalent units of production for the month, assuming the company uses the weighted average method
Unit completed and transferred to the next stage 8,800 units
Add Unit in ending goods in process inventory 2,900 units
(5,800 units*50%)
Equivalent units of production 11,700 units
(8,800 units+2,900 units)
Therefore the equivalent units of production for the month, assuming the company uses the weighted average method will be 11,700 units
Thomlin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $10,282,000 with 194,000 total machine hours. Year to date, the actual overhead is $5,689,800, and the actual machine hours are 98,100 hours. If Thomlin Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours for applying overhead, as of this point in time (year to date), the overhead is
Answer:
$490,500 underapplied
Explanation:
The computation of the overhead is shown below:
But before that the predetermined overhead rate and the applied overhead is
Predetermined overhead rate is
= Estimated overhead ÷ estimated activity
= $10,282,000 ÷ 194,000
= $53 per MH
Now
Applied overhead = actual activity × overhead rate
= 98,100 hours ×$53 per MH
= $5,199,300
Now the underapplied overhead is
= $5,689,800 - $5,199,300
= $490,500 underapplied

Explanation:
Common stock of $9,000 was posted on the debit side as it appeared first. This follows the normal order of recording transactions in the journal. The accounts to be debited are recorded first before the accounts to be credited. However, this entry appears abnormal. Cash of $9,000 should have appeared first in the journal before the Common Stock. Whichever is the correct interpretation, all the journal entries have been posted to the T-accounts accordingly.
Consider the following process that makes customized suits. When an order is placed, measurement is taken, which takes 30 minutes to complete. After taking the measurement, materials are prepared and cut, and this takes one hour. Once the materials are prepared and cut, the materials are sewed. Sewing takes 2.5 hours on average per order. The process operates for 10 hours a day. The following picture summarizes the process.
1. What is the capacity of the process in [suits/day]?
2. Assume that the demand for the customized suit is 0.2[suits/hour]. What should the flow rate of the process be in [suits/day]?
3. Assume that the demand for the customized suit is 0.5[suits/hour]. What is the implied utilization (in %) of the Sewing stage?
4. Assume that the demand for the customized suit is 0.5[suits/hour]. What is the utilization (in %) of the Measuring stage?
Answer:
1. The capacity of the process
= 2.5 suits /day
2. The flow rate of the process = 2.5 suits/10 hours
= 0.25 suits per hour
3. The implied utilization of the Sewing stage = (0.5 * 150 minutes * 4) 300 minutes = 5/10
= 50%
4. The utilization of the Measuring stage = (0.5 * 30 minutes * 4) 60 minutes = 1/10
= 10%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Time taken for the measurement of a suit = 30 minutes
Time for preparation and cutting of materials = 60 minutes (1 hour)
Time for sewing = 150 minutes (2.5 hours or 2 hours, 30 minutes)
Total time taken to make a suit = 4 hours
Available production time per day = 600 minutes (6 hours)
Therefore, 6/4 suits can be produced per day, this equals 2.5 suits.

A major argument of the podcast is that corporations have the power to change their employee's behaviors and even how they see the world, and that's how they can achieve social change- at a grassroots level. How does this relate to your own understanding of business ethics, and do you think it makes sense to look at corporate's capacity for global change at this level? Why or why not?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
This can relate to my own understanding of business ethics in that corporations do really have a certain influence on employee's behaviors, but up to the point of reference or comparison. Employees have their own belief systems inherited by parents, family, and primary groups of reference.
It could make sense to look at corporate's capacity for global change at this level if the leaders are truly committed to sharing positive values that not only impact the workplace but can be extended to all areas of life.
Indeed, the workplace is where most people spend most of the time during the week. So it would be good that corporate leaders could create the kind of corporate culture in which employees feel comfortable, listened to, and appreciated.
If this is the case, corporations really can have a certain influence on employee's behaviors. Unfortunately, in most corporations, employees can see their leaders setting the example. On the contrary, these leaders are the ones that first break the rules and behave in different or questionable ways.

The Sisyphean Company's common stock is currently trading for $25.00 per share. The stock is expected to pay a $2.50 dividend at the end of the year and the Sisyphean Company's equity cost of capital is 14%. If the dividend payout rate is expected to remain constant, then the expected growth rate in the Sisyphean Company's earnings is closest to:
Answer:
4%
Explanation:
The Gordon constant growth dividend model =
Value = dividend / cost of capital - growth rate
Subsisting with the values given in the question gives :
25 = 2.5/0.14 - g
To solve for g,
1. multiply both sides by 0.14 - g
25(0.14 -g) = 2.5
2. divide both sides by 25
0.14 - g = 0.10
g = 0.04 = 4%

The Fisher equation tells us that the real interest rate approximately equals the nominal rate minus the inflation rate. Suppose the inflation rate increases from 3% to 5%. Does the Fisher equation imply that this increase will result in a fall in the real rate of interest
The Fisher equation does not imply that the increase in inflation will result in a fall in the real rate of interest.
The Fisher equation states the nominal interest rate in the sum of inflation rate and the real interest rate
(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + inflation rate)
Based on the above equation, an increase in inflation rate would lead to a rise in the nominal interest rate. The real interest rate is taken as given in the equation and it is not affected by changes in inflation rate. If inflation rate increases from 3% to 5%, the nominal rate of interest would increase by about 2%.
