Answer:
Option B. The project is on time, but we cannot determine whether the project is on budget
Explanation:
Each of the phase takes 2 weeks and $100,000 and at the end of the week 6 we can say that 3 phases of the project have been completed. Therefore, the task of completing 3rd phase is within time (3*2=6), which means that the project is on time.
But here we can't tell which phase exceeded the budget and which didn't exceeded the budget. So this can not be estimated here because of lack of information. Hence we can say that we are unable to form opinion on whether the project was on budget or not.

The manager of a bulk foods establishment sells a trail mix for $5 per pound and premium cashews for $15 per pound. The manager wishes to make a 75-pound mixture of both that will sell for $13 per pound. How many pounds of each should be used
Answer:
15 pounds of trail mix60 pounds of premium cashewsExplanation;
75 pounds of the mixture should be made so assuming the trail mix is x and the premium cashew is y, the following expression is formed;
x + y = 75
The selling price per pound is $13 so in total, sales should be;
= 75 * 13
= $975
5x + 15y = 975
Substitution can then be used;
x + y = 75
y = 75 - x
Then;
5x + 15y = 975
5x + 15 ( 75 - x ) = 975
5x + 1,125 - 15x = 975
-10x = -150
x = 15
y = 75 - 15
= 60
15 pounds of trail mix
60 pounds of premium cashews
A 9% coupon bond with an ask price of 100:00 pays interest every 182 days. If the bond paid interest 112 days ago, the clean price of the bond would be
Answer:
$100
Explanation:
The computation of the clean price is shown below:
As we know that
Clean Price = Dirty Price − Accrued Interest
where,
Dirty price is
= Ask price + Accrued interest
The ask price is $100
And, the accrued interest is
= $100 × 9% × 112 days ÷ 360 days
= $2.74
Now the dirty price is
= $100 + $2.74
= $102.74
Therefore the clean price of the bond is
= $102.74 - $2.74
= $100
Or we can say that the ask price equivalent to the clean price of the bond as both are the quoted prices

People’s tastes change in favor of going to see more movies at cinemas with their friends and family members.b. National DVD-rental chains open a number of new stores in this market.c. There is a significant increase in the price of downloading movies on the Internet.
Answer:
a. price falls, the demand curve moves inward
b. price falls, the demand curve moves inward
c, price rises, the demand curve moves outward
a. A change in people's taste for going to cinema would reduce the number of people going to movie rentals. As a result, the demand for movie rentals would reduce and move inward or leftward. As a result of the inward movement of the demand curve, supply would outstrip demand and prices would fall below $3.50
b. If a National DVD-rental chains opens nationwide, there would be a decrease in demand for DVD movie rentals. As a result, the demand for movie rentals would reduce and move inward or leftward and price falls
A rise in the price of downloading movies on the Internet would increase the cost of downloading movies. This would make people less interested in downloading movies. As a result, the demand for DVD movie rentals would increase. The demand curve would shift outward and price would rise as a result.

On December 31, 2017, Ball Company leased a machine from Cook for a 10-year period, expiring December 30, 2027. Annual payments of $100,000 are due on December 31. The first payment was made on December 31, 2017, and the second payment was made on December 31, 2018. The present value at the inception of the lease for the 10 lease payments discounted at 10% was $676,000. The lease is appropriately accounted for as a capital lease by Ball.Required:1. Compute the December 31, 2018, amount that Ball should report as a lease liability after the first payment has been made. 2. What portion of this total liability should be classified as a current liability?
Answer:
Explanation:
A capital lease is a lease arrangement in which the lessor agrees to transfer the ownership of an asset to the lessee at the completion of the lease period. During the leasing contract , the lease is treated like an asset in the company's balance sheet
Lease liability at inception = 676,000
Annual payment made on December 2017 =(100,000)
Balance lease liability on 2017 = 576,000
Lease liability on December 2018
Balance on 2017 =576,000
Factor in 10% discount on lease payment
100,000 - (576,000*10%)= 100,000-57,600 = (42,400)
Balance on lease liability = 533,600
The current liability portion =
Factoring in the 10% discount =
100,000 - (533,600*10%) = 100,000 - 53,360 = 46,640
How much must be deposited at the beginning of each year to accumulate to $10,000 in four years if interest is at 9%
Answer:
Annual deposit= $2,186.69
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value= $10,000
Number of peridos= 4 years
Interest rate= 9% compounded annually
To calculate the annual deposit required, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (10,000*0.09) / [(1.09^4) - 1]
A= $2,186.69
A producer in another state wants to become a producer in Louisiana. The other state gives the same privileges to Louisiana producers wanting to be licensed in that state as it does to its own producers. Louisiana, therefore, extends the licensing privileges to the prospective producer of the other state. What is this called?
Answer:
Reciprocity.
Explanation:
In this scenario, a producer in another state wants to become a producer in Louisiana. The other state gives the same privileges to Louisiana producers wanting to be licensed in that state as it does to its own producers. Louisiana, therefore, extends the licensing privileges to the prospective producer of the other state. This is called reciprocity because the state in which the individual (producer) resides accords him or her the same privilege to other individuals (producers) who are residing in Louisiana for fairness and equity.
Muir Manufacturing produces two popular grades of commercial carpeting among its many other products. In the coming production period, Muir needs to decide, how many rolls of each grade should be produced in order to maximize profit? Each roll of Grade X carpet uses 50 units of synthetic-fiber, requires 25 hours of production time, and needs 20 units of foam backing. Each roll of Grade Y carpet uses 40 units of synthetic-fiber, requires 28 hours of production time, and needs 15 units of foam backing.
The profit per roll of Grade X carpet is $200 and the profit per roll of Grade Y carpet is $160. In the coming production period, Muir has 3000 units of synthetic-fiber available for use. Workers have been scheduled to provide at least 1800 hours of production time (overtime is a possibility). The company has 1500 units of foam backing available for use. Develop a linear programming model for this problem.
1. Define the Decision Variables.
2. Write the Objective.
3. Write the Constraints.
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
A) DECISION VARIABLES :
The decision variables in the question above lies in Muir Manufacturing Company's Production target in the coming production period:
The decision variables are thus:
1) Determining the number of rolls of Grade X carpet to manufacture.
11) Determining the number of Grade Y carpet to manufacture.
2) OBJECTIVES :
The objective is to maximize profit :
Profit per roll of Grade X carpet = $200
Profit per roll of Grade Y carpet = $160
The objective function is thus :
$200x + $160y
C.) THE CONSTRAINTS :
1) Synthetic fibre required:
Grade X = 50 units
Grade Y = 40 units
Total available units = 3000
50X + 40Y ≤ 3000
Production time:
Grade X = 25 hours of production time
Grade Y = 28 hours of production time
Scheduled production time to be provided by workers is atleast 1800 hours (since there is possibility for overtime).
25X + 28Y ≥ 1800
111) Foam backing required:
Grade X = 20 units
Grade Y = 10 units
Total available units = 1500
20X + 10Y ≤ 1500
Each roll of Grade X carpet uses 50 units of synthetic-fiber, requires 25 hours of production time, and needs 20 units of foam backing. Each roll of Grade Y carpet uses 40 units of synthetic-fiber, requires 28 hours of production time, and needs 15 units of foam backing.
