There are two steps for XYZ bakery to make their bread. One is to prepare the dough and bake the loaves, and the other one is to

Allushta [10]

Answer:

a. Potential Packing Output/hr = (50 loaves/20 min) * 60 min = 150 loaves.

However, the production of 50 loaves takes 60 mins, so the packaging remains idle for 40 mins and the Actual Packing Output/hr = 50 loaves.

Hence, Capacity Utilization = (Actual Output/Potential Output) *100% = (50/150)*100% = 33.33%

b) Production output = 50 loaves/hr = 50 loaves/60 mins

Packing Output = 50 loaves/20 mins

So, to make both the capacities equal, the XYZ Bakery can simultaneously operate three batches to prepare the dough and bake i.e 150 loaves/60 mins for both production as well as packing.

Answer:

1) none of the above $3828.57 ( E )

2) $1143 ( c )

3) $24571 ( A )

4) $17142.86 ( E )

5) 12% ( B )

6) $410 ( B )

7) $2744.95 ( f )

8) $17,489 ( c )

9) $24282.36 ( F )

10) 867

Explanation:

1) The annual after-tax net returns

net income = cash flow - depreciation

= $10500 - $\frac{cost of equipment}{estimated life}$ = 10500 - (40000/7) = $4785.71

calculate the annual net after tax returns = net income * (1 - Tax rate ) = 4785 * (0.80) = $3828.57

2) Tax savings from depreciation

Tax savings from depreciation = Depreciation amount * Tax rate

= $(\frac{equipment cost}{estimated life} ) * Tax rate$

= (40000/7) * 0.2 = $1142.86 ≈ $1143

3) After tax terminal value in three years

Sale value = $25000,

Book value = 40000 - ( 5714.29 * 3 ) = $22857.13

Gain on sale = sale value - book value = $2142.87

tax rate = gain on sale * tax rate = 2142.87 * 0.2 = $428.57

Terminal value = sales value - tax rate = 25000 - 428.57 ≈ $24571

4) Accumulated depreciation over the three years

= depreciation amount * 3 years

=5714.29 * 3 = $17142.86

5) After tax discount rate

= discount rate * (1 - tax rate )

= 15% * 0.80 = 12%

6) Present value of the after-tax net returns

SOLUTION attached below

7) Present value tax savings from depreciation

= Tax savings from depreciation / ( 1+r)^n note ; n = 3

= $1142.86 / ( 1 + 0.12 )^3 = $2744.95

8) present value of the after-tax terminal value

Pv of terminal value = Terminal value / ( 1 + r ) ^n

= $24571.43 / ( 1 + 0.12 ) ^3 = $17,489

9) Net present value

= net cash flows / ( 1 + r ) ^n

= 34114.29 / ( 1 + 0.12) ^3

= $34114.29 / 1.4049 = $24282.36

Consider the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 –$ 33,000 1 13,400 2 18,300 3 10,800 What is the IRR of the cash flows? (Do

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

14.23%

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = –$ 33,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 13,400

Cash flow in year 2 = 18,300

Cash flow in year 3 = 10,800

IRR = 14.23%

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Which managers – top managers, middle managers or first-line managers – would make companywide decisions about energy use? How m

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, it is missing the article about clean energy cars.

The article is about cars that run on compressed natural gas (CNG) instead of regular gasoline or even electric or hybrid models. The advantage of using CNG is that it is clean, its emissions rate is practically zero and most importantly, natural gas is extremely abundant in the US (shale gas).

Now, back to the questions:

Which managers – top managers, middle managers or first-line managers – would make companywide decisions about energy use?

Top managers are responsible for making companywide decisions about energy use. E.g. top management of several technological firms have decided to make their buildings and installations greener or more energy efficient. Generally when a new energy source is being used for the first time, a company must make large investments. This is why top management must decide about changes in energy use.

How might the new workplace enable all managers to capitalize on the Great Shale Gas Rush?

The use of CNG is not only good for businesses, but it is also good for the citizens and the US as a whole. Currently the US has almost balanced it exports and imports of petroleum, but it would benefit everyone if the balance would be positive. This means that the less oil imported, the better.

If we look at specific businesses, changing from gasoline (or even diesel) to CNG is not only greener, but it is also cheaper. The problem with electric and hybrid cars is that they are extremely expensive, and it is really hard to offset their cost against regular gasoline cars. On the other hand, cars that run on CNG cost almost the same and are extremely cheap to use. CNG is much cheaper than gasoline plus you have the advantage of not needing to import oil or gasoline.

Currently, I'm not sure if there is any CNG car available for households since the Honda Civic that runs on it was discontinued, but businesses can still purchase fleet trucks and vans that run on CNG. If you analyze CNG vs gasoline or electric vehicles, CNG cars are much cheaper, efficient and greener (the Civic was greener than electric cars). It is a win-win situation, the company wins, the environment wins, the economy wins and the country wins, only foreign oil exporting countries lose.
