A fast-food restaurant has determined that the chance a customer will order a soft drink is 0.90. The proba- bility that a custo

azamat

Answer:

(a) The probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries is 0.45.

(b) The probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries is 0.48.

Explanation:

Let the events be denoted as follows:

S = an order of soft drink

H = an order of hamburger

F = an order of french fries.

Given:

P (S) = 0.90

P (H) = 0.60

P (F) = 0.50

(a)

It is provided that the event of ordering a soft drink and fries are independent.

If events A and B are independent then the probability of event (A ∩ B) is:

$P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)$

Compute the probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries as follows:

$P(S\cap \bar F)=P(S)\times P(\bar F)\\=P(S)\times[1-P(F)]\\=0.90\times (1-0.50)\\=0.45$

Thus, the probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries is 0.45.

(b)

It is provided that the conditional probability that a customer will order fries given that he/she has already ordered a hamburger as, P (F|H) = 0.80.

The conditional probability of an event B given another event A has already occurred is:

$P(B|A)=\frac{P(A\cap B}{P(A)}$

Compute the probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries as follows:

$P(F|H)=\frac{P(H\cap F)}{P(H)}\\P(H\cap F)=P(F|H)\times P(H)\\=0.80\times 0.60\\=0.48$

Thus, the probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries is 0.48.

= $1,800,000

3. Last year's ROI is:

= 30%

4. The margin related to this year's investment opportunity is:

= 10%

5. The turnover related to this year's investment opportunity is:

= $360,000.

6. The ROI related to this year's investment opportunity is:

= 12%

7. The margin this year is:

= 18.33%

8. The turnover that it will earn this year is:

= $2,160,000

9. The ROI that it will earn this year is:

= 26.4%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Last Year's This Year's Total

Sales $1,800,000 $360,000 $2,160,000

Variable expenses 435,000 108,000 543,000

Contribution margin 1,365,000 252,000 $1,617,000

Fixed expenses 1,005,000 216,000 1,221,000

Net operating income $360,000 $36,000 $396,000

Average operating assets $1,200,000 $300,000 $1,500,000

Minimum Required Rate of Return = 10%

= $120,000 $30,000 $150,000

1. Last year's margin = 20% ($360,000/$1,800,000) * 100

2. Last year's turnover = $1,800,000

3. Last year's ROI = 30% ($360,000/$1,200,000) * 100

4. The margin related to this year's investment opportunity is:

= 10% ($36,000/$360,000) * 100

5. The turnover related to this year's investment opportunity is $360,000.

6. The ROI related to this year's investment opportunity is:

12% ($36,000/$300,000)

7. The margin = 18.33% ($396,000/$2,160,000) * 100

8. The turnover that it will earn this year = $2,160,000

9. The ROI that it will earn this year = 26.4% ($396,000/$1,500,000) * 100

Which of the following is an example of a variable cost?

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Utilities

Explanation:

Variable costs are expenses that vary proportionately with the changes in production level. Should production level rise, variable costs increases. Variable costs form the majority of the direct cost of production.

Unlike fixed costs, the monthly bill for variable costs will keep fluctuating. In this scenario, utilities represent the variable cost. Expenses on electricity, water and other consumables will vary from time to time. With a high level of production, consumption of power and water will be high.

Rent and insurance cost will remain the same regardless of production level. A professional fee is an overhead expense. It is not an input in the production process.

A. Reject (Alternative 1) $0

Accept (Alternative 2) -$815,584

Differential effect Income (Alternative 2) -$815,584

B. Goodman should REJECT the special order from Euro Motors

C.$115.69

Explanation:

a. Preparation of a differential analysis dated January 21

DIFFERENTIAL ANALYSIS

Reject (Alternative 1) Accept (Alternative 2) Differential effect Income (Alternative 2)

Revenues $0 $1,613,850 $1,613,850

(21,000 tires × $76.85 per tire)

Costs:

Direct materials 0 –$1,134,000 $1,134,000

(21,000 tires × $54 per tire)

Direct labor 0 –$504,000 $504,000

(21,000 tires × 24 per tire)

Variable factory overhead 0 –$312,480 $312,480

[21,000 tires × ($24 per tire × 62%)]

Variable selling and admin.

expenses 0 –$152,880 $152,880

21,000 tires × [(25 per tire × 44%) – ($93 × 4%)]

Shipping costs 0 –$160,650 $160,650

(21,000 tires × $7.65 per tire)

Certification costs 0 –$165,424 –$165,424

Income (Loss) $0 -$815,584 -$815,584

B. Based on the above Differentials analysis Brightstone should REJECT the special order from Euro Motors.

C. Calculation to determine minimum price per unit that would be financially acceptable to Brightstone

Minimum price per unit =$76.85-(-$815,584/21,000)

Minimum price per unit =$76.85-(-$38.84)

Minimum price per unit=$115.69

Therefore minimum price per unit that would be financially acceptable to Brightstone is $115.69
