The logistics/operations manager of a mail order house purchases two products for resale: King Beds (K) and Queen Beds (Q). Each

King Bed costs $500 and requires 100 cubic feet of storage space, and each Queen Bed costs $300 and requires 90 cubic feet of storage space. The manager has $75,000 to invest in beds this week, and her warehouse has 18,000 cubic feet available for storage. Profit for each King Bed is $300, and for each Queen Bed is $150. 18) What is the objective function

Answer:

Profit Function = (300 x king size bed) + (150 x queen size bed)

Explanation:

Objective Function is the function which needs to be optimised , i.e maximised or minimised. The function shows the objective variable as a dependent variable, determined by independent / explanatory variable(s).

Given Case : The manager would tend to maximise profit function.

Total Profit = Per unit profit x quantity

So, Profit Function: by per unit profit & sale quantities :

= (300 x king size bed) + (150 x queen size bed)

This profit objective function would be maximised, to find the profit maximising sale quantities of king & queen size beds.

Space, Budget would be the constraints to this optimisation.

In a fixed-order-quantity system, when demand is uncertain, using economic order quantity (EOQ) based only on the average demand
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

If the demand is uncertain, if you use average demand to calculate the economic order quantity (EOQ), you will have a high probability of a stock-out occurring.  

EOQ = √(2DS / H)

where:

D = annual demand in units

S = order cost per purchase order

H = holding cost per unit, per year

If D is uncertain, then the whole calculus will either be understated or overstated.

What is the present value of the following cash flows at a discount rate of 9 percent?
frutty [35]

Answer:

Year 1 PV = 91,743.12

Year 2 PV =126,251.99

Year 3 PV =  154,436.70  

Explanation:

<em>The present value of future sum is the amount that ought to be invested today at interest rate compounded annually to equal the sum at the end of a particular period.</em>

The present value of a future sum is given as follows:

PV = FV × PV (1+r)^(-n)

PV - present value

FV - Future value

r- interest rate

n- number of years

Year 1 PV = 100,000× 1.09^(-1) =91,743.12

Year 2 PV = 150,000× 1.09^(-2) =126,251.99

Year 3 PV = 200,000× 1.09^(-3) =  154,436.70

XZYY, Inc. currently has an issue of bonds outstanding that will mature in 31 years. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and a
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

7.31%

Explanation:

The question is pointing at the bond's yield to maturity.

The yield to maturity can be computed using the rate formula in excel as provided below:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of times the bond would pay annual coupons which is 31

pmt is the annual coupon payment i.e $1000*8.0%=$80.00

pv is the current price of the bond which is $1,084

fv is the face value of the bond which is $1,000

=rate(31,80,-1084,1000)=7.31%

The yield to maturity is 7.31%

That is the annual rate of return for an investor that holds the bond till maturity.

Find the periodic payments PMT necessary to accumulate the given amount in an annuity account. (Assume end-of-period deposits an
ikadub [295]

Answer:

$ 226.04

Explanation:

Given:

Paying fund, FV = $ 30000

Interest rate, i = 2%

Time, t = 10 years

Now,

\textup{PMT}=\textup{FV}[\frac{i}{(1+i)^n-1}]

since, the payment is made monthly

thus,

n = 10 × 12 = 120 months

i = 2% / 12 = 0.02 / 12

on substituting the values in the above equation, we get

PMT={30000}[\frac{\frac{0.02}{12}}{(1+{\frac{0.02}{12}})^{120}-1}]

or

PMT = $ 226.04

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Number of shares to be issued =  60,000  units

Explanation:

<em>A private placement involves the issue of new shares to a few number of individual and institutional investors. Unlike initial public offering, here the shares are not offered to the general public.</em>

The number of units to be issued is determined as follows

Units to be issued = Total capital to be raised / issue price per share

Number of units to be raised = $1215,000/$20.25 per share= 60,000  units

Number of shares to be issued =  60,000  units
