Flu vaccine production requires a lead time of about 6 months. Consider the start of the 21st century when 95 million doses were

produced for the 2002-2003 season (US). Unfortunately, 12 million doses were not used and had to be destroyed (a vaccine is good only for one season). Back then, how would you decide how much vaccine to produce for 2003-2004? (please explain and show work)

Answer:

If alpha is 0.2 then 92.6units

If alpha is 0.3 then 91.4units

Explanation:

The calculation can be done by the following formula

F = F + alpha (A-F)

Where

F = Forecast value

A= Actual value

Alpha = exponential smoothing constant

If alpha is taken 0.2

F = 95 + 0.2 ( 83-95)

F = 92.6

If alpha is taken 0.3

F = 95 + 0.3( 83-95)

F= 91.4

Suppose that the average wage earner saves 14% of her take-home pay and spends the other 86%. Also suppose that 86% of any amoun
KIM [24]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

A 30bn$ tax cut will mean that there is 35bn$ of added take home pay available to all the wage earners.

This would simply mean that 14% of 30bn $ = 4.2bn$ would be added to the national savings and the rest 86% of 35bn$ = 25.8bn$ would be additional spending. This would inturn generate 25.8bn$ of added income (since someone's expenditure is someone else's income);

So out of this 25.8bn$ 14% will be saved and 86% will be respent; and this chain will continue;

So total added consumption expenditure due to the 30bn $ tax cut = 30\left(0.86+0.86^{2}+0.86^{3}+\ldots\right)

=30^{*}(0.86) /(1-0.86)=184.285 \mathrm{bn} \$ (Rounded off)

This is the total additional spending (consumption in an economy because of the stimulus provided by the tax cut of 30bn$);

The total impact on the economy over long run = 184bn$ of additional expenditure

Blue ridge bicycles uses a standard part in the manufacture of several of its bikes. the cost of producing 45 comma 000 parts is
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

If Blue ridge decides to purchase the parts instead of manufacturing them, their total costs will increase by $21,300

Explanation:

currently Blue Ridge's costs are:

variable costs = $69,000

fixed costs = $69,000

total $138,000

total cost per unit = $138,000 / 45,000 units = $3.0667 per unit

if Blue Ridge decide to outsource the production of the parts:

variable costs = 45,000 x $4 = $180,000

decrease in fixed costs = $69,000 x -30% = -$20,700

total costs = $159,300

If Blue ridge decides to purchase the parts instead of manufacturing them, their total costs will increase by ⇒ $159,300 - $138,000 = $21,300

Employees are deterred by the potential loss of certification or professional accrediation resulting from a breach of a code of
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

B) False

Explanation:

Consumers always regard employees as the company's agents. So whenever they do something wrong, their bad behavior is directly associated with the company that they work for. So any bad deed form the employees will be seen as a company's bad deed.

This will hurt both employees and employers, since no employer will want to keep an employee that acts improperly, and at the same time the employer's business will also suffer.

On January 1, Year 1, Milton Manufacturing Company purchased equipment with a list price of $31,000. A total of $2,800 was paid
spayn [35]

Answer:

the amount of depreciation for Year 1 is $3,948

Explanation:

Step 1 : Determine Cost of Equipment

<em>Cost according to IAS 16 means purchase price plus other costs directly incurred in bringing the asset to location and condition of use as intended by management.</em>

Purchase Price                        $31,000

Installation and testing            $2,800

Total Cost                              $ 33,800

Step 2 : Determine the depletion rate

Depletion rate = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated Production

                        = ($ 33,800 - $5,600) ÷ 100,000 units

                        = 0.282

Step 3 : Determine the Depreciation Expense

Depreciation Expense =  Depletion rate x Units Produced

                                     =  0.282 x 14,000 units

                                     = $3,948

Conclusion

the amount of depreciation for Year 1 is $3,948
