Both transportation and assignment problems are members of a category of lp problems called network flow problems

<h3>What is network flow problems?</h3>

Network flow problems are a type of combinatorial optimization problem in which the input is a flow network (a graph with numerical capacities on its edges) and the goal is to construct a flow with numerical values on each edge that respect the capacity constraints and have incoming flow.

A company, for example, may want to ship packages from Los Angeles to New York City by using trucks to transport between intermediate cities. If the route connecting two cities only has one truck and each truck has a maximum load, the graph describing the transportation options will be a flow network.

A given investment project will cost RM400,000. Incremental annual cash flows after taxes are expected to be RM80,000 per year f

erastova [34]

Answer:

Based on the profitability index method, the investment should not be accepted.

It does not produce enough cash flows to justify the investment.

Explanation:

The profitability index method measures the present value of benefits for by dividing the present value of benefits by the present of initial investments.

The present value of initial investment in this project remains RM400,000. The present value of incremental annual cash flows of RM80,000 after taxes for 5 years will be equal to:

RM80,000 * 3.668 = RM293,440

Then the next step is to divide the present value of benefits by the initial investment as follows:

RM293,440/RM400,000 = 0.7336 = 73.36%

The implication is that the present value of the benefits is less than the initial investment costs. The project should then be rejected.

Laurey Inc. is working on its cash budget for May. The budgeted beginning cash balance is $47,000. Budgeted cash receipts total

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

$12,000

Explanation:

Beginning cash balance = $47,000

Budgeted cash receipts = $131,000

Budgeted cash disbursements = $126,000

The desired ending cash balance = $64,000

The net movements around the cash opening balances, cash receipts, disbursement and borrowing results in the closing balance by the formula below;

The desired ending cash balance = Beginning cash balance + Budgeted cash receipts + Borrowing - Budgeted cash disbursements

$64,000 = $47,000 + $131,000 + Borrowing - $126,000

Borrowing = $64,000 + $126,000 - $47,000 - $131,000

Borrowing = $12,000

Borrowing required to achieve desired closing balance is $12,000

Retained Earnings 620,300

Total Equities 720,300

Total Liabilities and Owners Equities 800,000

Explanation:

The balance sheet shows the company's assets, liabilities and equities.

Using the accounting equation

Assets = Liabilities + Equities

Total assets

= 187,500 + 325,900 - 186,000 + 375,000 + 8400 + 6000 + 11,200 + C

where C is the closing balance in the cash account

= 728,000 + C

Total liabilities

= 51,200 + 7500 + 21,000

= $79,700

Total equities

= 620,300 + 100,000

= $720,300

Since Assets = Liabilities + Equities

728,000 + C = 720,300 + 79,700

C = 720,300 + 79,700 - 728,000

C = $72,000

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Direct Materials EU = 165,000

Direct Labour EU = 144,000

Explanation:

Equivalent Units (Weighted Average Method) = Beginning Goods In process + Units Completed + Ending Goods x % of completion

Direct Materials: 25,000 + 110,000 + 30,000 x 100% = 165,000

Direct Labor: 25,000 + 110,000 + 30,000 x 30% = 144,000

Remember: In the weighted average cost system the units in process at the beginning are count as a full equivalent unit of production.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": is generally more desirable to companies than collection float.

Explanation:

Disbursement floats refer to the amount of money a company has spent but has not been discounted from its account yet. This usually happens when the company makes wire transfers to different banks or issues checks that take to clear some days.

Disbursement floats are preferred for a company compared to collection float since the latter is based on debts that the firm has not been able to pay yet while disbursement floats are just the result of unfinished transactions the company has already taken responsibility for.
