Answer:
b. Budgeted unit sales - beginning merchandise inventory + desired merchandise ending inventory.
Explanation:
Since, the total purchases in units means the number of units that the company needs to buy after maintaining the necessary closing inventory to meet the budgeted sales. The total units required should therefore be equal to the total of the budgeted sales units and the units for the closing of inventory.
Also, if the opening inventory exists out of the total units required, then that number of merchandise does not need to be purchased as it already exists.
Therefore to reach the required purchase unit we need to add budgeted unit sales and desired merchandise ending inventory and deduct the beginning merchandise inventory.
So, the correct option is b.
Answer:
Brand Awareness
Explanation:
Brand Awareness measures how many consumers in a market are familiar with the brand and what it stands for and have an opinion about it. Brand awareness is further consisted of 2 elements:
1: Brand Recognition: is the ability of consumers to confirm previous exposures to brand when they are presented the brand as a cue. For example, if you go to a store, will you be able to recognize the brand to which you have been already exposed?
2: Brand Recall: It is the consumers ability to retrieve the brand from their memory if they are given product category or usage occasion as a cue. For example, when you think of carbonated drink, then what brand comes into your mind?
Answer:
Present value= $62,722.875≈ $62,723
Explanation:
To calculate present value use this formula
Present value= Yearly payment*{[1-(1+rate)^-period]/rate}
Present value= 8,500*{[1-(1+0.11)^-16]/0.11}
Present value= 8,500* {0.8117/0.11}
Present value= 8500*7.379= $62,722.875
Answer:
They should operate Mine 1 for 1 hour and Mine 2 for 3 hours to meet the contractual obligations and minimize cost.
Explanation:
The formulation of the linear programming is:
Objective function:
Restrictions:
- High-grade ore: 
- Medium-grade ore: 
- Low-grade ore: 
- No negative hours: 
We start graphing the restrictions in a M1-M2 plane.
In the figure attached, we have the feasible region, where all the restrictions are validated, and the four points of intersection of 2 restrictions.
In one of this four points lies the minimum cost.
Graphically, we can graph the cost function over this feasible region, with different cost levels. When the line cost intersects one of the four points with the lowest level of cost, this is the optimum combination.
(NOTE: it is best to start with a low guessing of the cost and going up until it reaches one point in the feasible region).
The solution is for the point (M1=1, M2=3), with a cost of C=$680.
The cost function graph is attached.
