Your business has purchased 500 pizza pans, 60 kg of sauce, 100 kg of cheese, 2.5 kg of basil, 2.5 kg of oregano, 5 kg of yeast,

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

400 pizzas

Explanation:

The complete question would be:

<em>You are going into the business of making pizzas. The following is the list of ingredients to make ONE pizza: </em>

<em>400 g flour 50 mL water </em>

<em>10 g yeast 120 g sauce </em>

<em>250 g cheese 5 g oregano </em>

<em>5 g basil </em>

<em>Your business has purchased 500 pizza pans, 60 kg of sauce, 100 kg of cheese, 2.5 kg of basil, 2.5 kg of oregano, 5 kg of yeast, and 200 kg of flour. You have as much water as you need. How many pizzas can you make? </em>

You are going to have to make a couple of conversions to do this. Since everything you need is indicated in grams, we first need to convert everything you have in grams.

There are 1,000 g in 1 kg. So now we convert them all:

60 kg of sauce

$60kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 60,000g$

100 kg of cheese

$100kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 100,000g$

2.5 kg of basil

$2.5kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 2,500g$

2.5 kg of oregano

$2.5kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 2,500g$

5 kg of yeast

$5kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 5,000g$

200 kg of flour

$200kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 200,000g$

So now that we know what we have, we determine how many pizzas we can make with the amount of each ingredient. We get the ratio of each ingredient to one pizza to determine how many we can make:

<u>Flour:</u>

Available: 200,000g

Needed: 400g

$200,000g\ of\ flour\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{400g\ of\ flour} = 500\ pizzas$

<u>Yeast:</u>

Available: 5,000g

Needed: 10g

$5,000g\ of\ yeast\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{10g\ of\ yeast} = 500\ pizzas$

<u>Cheese:</u>

Available: 100,000g

Needed: 250g

$100,000g\ of\ cheese\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{250g\ of\ cheese} = 400\ pizzas$

<u>Basil:</u>

Available: 2,500g

Needed: 5g

<u /> $2,500g\ of\ basil\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{5g\ of\ yeast} = 500\ pizzas$ <u />

<u>Sauce:</u>

Available: 60,000g

Needed: 120g

<u /> $60,000g\ of\ sauce\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{120g\ of\ sauce} = 500\ pizzas$ <u />

<u>Oregano:</u>

Available: 2,500g

Needed: 5g

<u /> $2,500g\ of\ oregano\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{5g\ of\ oregano} = 500\ pizzas$ <u />

We do not need to consider water, because it will provide as many as we will need.

So here we see that all but one ingredient is able to yield 500 pizzas. Cheese is the only one that yields less than 500, specifically 400 only. This is your limiting ingredient and this ingredient determines how many pizzas you can make. Because when you run out of cheese, you can no longer make a pizza.

Upon graduating from college this year, you expect to earn $25,000 per year. If you get your MBA, in one year you can expect to

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Income difference= $8,250

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual salary= $25,000 per year

MBA salary= $35,000 per year.

Inflation rate= 5 percent.

We will separate the analysis. First, we will calculate the nominal increase. Then, the real increase based on purchasing power.

In nominal terms, the increase in income is equal to the difference between salaries.

Income increase= 35,000 - 25,000= $10,000 increase.

In real terms, we need to calculate the effect of inflation on your purchasing power.

Actual income= $25,000

MBA income= 35,000*0.95= $33,250

Income difference= $8,250

In other terms, the real purchasing power of the MBA income decreases. Therefore, the difference today between real salaries is lower than the nominal difference.

Which of the following investments would have the highest future value at the end of 10 years? Assume that the effective annual

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The investment that will have the highest future value is option b.

Explanation:

First lets suposse the effective annual rate is 10%

a. Future value= $2,500

c. First you must obtain the net present value of all cash flows with the formula attached, for example:

NVP= ($250/(1+10%)^1)+($250/(1+10%^2)+($250/(1+10%^3)... and so on until year 10

With the excel formula "NPV" you can calculate the net present value specifying the interest rate, the cash flows.

The NPV= $1,536.14

And then you calculate the future value of this answer with this formula:

VF=VP(1+i)^n

VF= $1,536.14*(1+10%)^10

VF=$3,984.36

b. If payments are due at the beginning of every year means that at year 0 you start with $250. You must calculate the NPV in this way

NPV= $250+($250/(1+10%)^1)+ )+($250/(1+10%^2)+($250/(1+10%^3)... and so on until year 10

NPV= $1,786,14

And then you calculate the future value of this answer:

VF= $1,786,14*(1+10%)^10

VF=$4,632.79

d. First, you must convert the annual interest rate into semi-annually interest

10% Annually effective is 4,88% Semi-anually effective

NPV=$125+($125/(1+4,88%)^1)+ )+($125/(1+4,88%^2)+($125/(1+4,88%^3)... and so on until period 20

NPV=$1,698.75

And then you calculate the future value of this answer:

VF= $1,698 *(1+10%)^10

VF=$4,405.37

The investment that will have the highest future value is option b.

Mervon Company has two operating departments: Mixing and Bottling. Mixing has 350 employees and Bottling has 350 employees. Indi

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Allocated administrative cost for mixing is $81000

And allocated administrative cost for for bottling is $81000

Explanation:

We have given total number of employs for mixing = 350

And total number of employs for bottling = 350

Administrative cost = $162000

So total number of employs = 350+350 = 700

So allocation base for mixing $=\frac{350}{700}=0.5$

So allocated amount for mixing = 0.5×$162000 = $81000

Allocation base for bottling = $=\frac{350}{700}=0.5$

So allocated amount for bottling = 0.5×$162000 = $81000
