   The simple answer is that 5 items can be arranged 5! (5 factorial) different ways. But let's expand upon that brief answer. We have 5 jobs and 5 machines with which to perform those jobs. So let's look at the 1st machine. Any of 5 of the jobs may be assigned to it. Now we have 4 jobs left unassigned. So let's look at the 2nd machine. For that machine, any of the 4 remaining jobs may be assigned to it, leaving 3 unassigned jobs. We can continue in that fashion, assigning at random one the of 3 remaining jobs to the 3rd machine, one of the 2 remaining jobs to the 4th machine, and finally, the only unassigned job to the 5th machine. So there's 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 5! = 120 different ways to assign those 5 jobs to all 5 machines.</span>

For 2015, Bakers Manufacturing uses machine-hours as the only overhead cost-allocation base. The direct cost rate is $3.00 per u
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The profit margin earned if each unit requires two machine-hours is 25%

Explanation:

For computing the profit margin, first, we have to compute the estimated overhead rate per unit which is shown below:

Estimated Overhead rate = (Estimated manufacturing overhead costs) ÷ (estimated machine hours)

= ($240,000) ÷ (40,000 machine hours)

= $6

Now the profit per margin would equal to

= Selling price per unit - direct cost per unit - overhead cost per unit × number of required machine hours

= $20 - $3 - $6 × 2

= $5

Now the profit margin would equal to

= (Profit per unit) ÷ (selling price per unit) × 00

= ($5 ÷ $20) × 100

= 25%

Crown Co. is expecting to receive 100,000 British pounds in one year. Crown expects the spot rate of the British pound to be $1.
wariber [46]

Answer:

Sell pound forward

Explanation:

Forward rate = $1.51 *(1+2.65%) = 1.51 * 1.0265 = 1.55

Amount receivable in case of forward hedge = 100,000 * 1.55 = 155,000

Premium payable on put options = 100,000 * 0.3 = 3,000

Amount receivable in put options = 100,000 * 1.54 = 154,000

Net receivables in put options = 154,000 - 3,000 = 151,000

Conclusion: Higher amount is available in case of forward hedge. So, sell pound forward
