A goal programming problem had two goals (with no priorities assigned). Goal number 1 was to achieve a profit of $2,400 and goal

number 2 was to have no idle time for workers in the factory. The optimal solution to this problem resulted in a profit of $2,300 and no idle time. What was the value for the objective function for this goal programming problem?

Answer:

100

Explanation:

Goal programming is an optimization technique that allows for multiple, normally conflicting objectives and then attempts to solve each goal sequentially to a satisfactory level. In goal programming, differential variables are being used.

Since the goal programming problem had two goals. Goal number 1 was to achieve a profit of $2,400 and goal number 2 was to have no idle time for workers in the factory. The optimal solution to this problem resulted in a profit of $2,300 and no idle time

This means that goal number 2 was achieved since the optimal solution resulted in no idle time. But goal number 1 was not achieved because a profit of $2300 was achieved in the solution instead of $2400.

Therefore, the value for the objective function for this goal programming problem = 2400 - 2300 = 100

Net Accounts Receivable at end of year $139,500

Explanation:

Calculation for the balances at the end of the year for both Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debts accounts

T ACCOUNT

ACCOUNT RECEIVABLE

DEBIT SIDE

Beginning balance $146,000

Sales on account $602,000

Total $748,000

Ending balance $153,800

($748,000-$594,200)

CREDIT SIDE

Cash collections $582,000

Bad Debts written off $12,200

Total $594,200

T ACCOUNT

ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBT

DEBIT SIDE

Bad Debts written off $12,200

Total $12,200

CREDIT SIDE

Beginning balance $11,700

Bad debts expense $14,800

Total $26,500

Ending balance $14,300

($26,500-$12,200)

Calculation for Net Accounts Receivable at end of year:

Net Accounts Receivable at end of year = ($153,800-$14,300)

Net Accounts Receivable at end of year=$139,500

Therefore the Ending balance for Accounts Receivable is $153,800 and Allowance for Bad Debts is $14,300 while the Net Accounts Receivable at end of year is $139,500

Insurance policies often contain a covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Even if the clause is not in the policy, often court
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The <em>covenant of good faith and fair dealing</em> simply requires all the parties to a contract to deal in an even-handed manner such that one party's action does not frustrate the other or prevent the other from getting the benefits of that contract.

In insurance, this covenant is sometimes captured under the heading <em>Uberrima fides</em>. This is a Latin phrase meaning <em>"Utmost Good Faith".</em>

In insurance, this covenant is legally binding on all parties to ensure they each reveal every information that is material to the acceptance or rejection of the risk (on the part of the Insurer) whilst on the part of the Insured the insurer is required to be explicit regarding the terms of the policy as well as the calculations by which the premium is arrived at.

For example, if an Insurance company is looking at covering someone under it's Life Insurance Policy, the person taking out the contract must disclose whether or not the Insured has any latent health issues which might shorten their lifespan. If there is such a condition, the Insurance company may still take on the risk albeit at a relatively higher rate than a client without such medical conditions.

 

An Insurance Company may breach this covenant if they delay or refuse to reasonable settle claims due to the Insured. It may also arise if the Insurance company by some technical manipulation intentionally under settles an Insurance claim.

If for instance, a Comprehensive Insurance Policy files a valid claim, the Insurer may be liable for negligence and or intentional wrongdoing.

klemol [59]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

An on premise establishment is one in which goods and services are used accordingly within the grounds of the establishment.

In an establishment where alcohol is sold and its not 50% of gross receipts it is safe for a 16year ol to be a cashier in such establishment since alcohol like any other goods or service is taken or used accordingly in the establishment.

Weekly demand figures at Hot Pizza are as follows:
garri49 [273]

Answer:

MAD:  10.04,  11.53

MAPSE: 10% ,  12%

MSE : 146.33,  178.72

Bias : -0.56 , -0.96

3-week moving average method is better

Explanation:

i ) Evaluate MAD ( average of absolute errors )

using  3 week moving average

= 10.04

using simple exponential smoothing

= 11.53

ii) MAPSE ( average of absolute percentage error )

using 3 week moving average

= 10%

using simple exponential smoothing

= 12%

iii) MSE ( average of Squared Errors )

3 week MV = 146.33 ,  Simple exponential smoothing = 178.72.

iv) Bias

3 week MV = -5/9 = -0.56,  Simple exponential smoothing = -8.69/9 = -0.96.

v) TS  ( Total error / MAD )

3 week MV = -5 / 10.04 = -0.49 ,

simple exponential smoothing  = -8.69 / 11.53 = -0.75

b) I prefer 3-week moving average based on the values of MAD , MAPE, MSE, bias and TS which shows that there is a better estimate when using the 3 -weeks moving average.

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

Inferior goods are those goods or kind of goods whose demand declines or decrease when the income of the person or customer increases or rises. In other words, it means that the inferior goods demand is inversely associate to the customer or consumer income.

So, in this case, the income rises by 8% and the quantity demanded for the ice cream declines or falls by 18%, then the vanilla ice cream would considered as the inferior good.
