There is no data attached but<span> the question can be answered without it. The analyst's  conclusion that they should hire more people to drive higher sales is not justified because the area of the bookstore is small and is constant. It is not practical to hire more people and let them all work in that little space.  Another alternative maybe is to advertise their books online to attract more customers. </span>

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

3.34 times

Explanation:

Ginger incorporation has a market valu of equity of $710,000

The debt is $227,800

Cash is $45,600

EBIT is $102,800

The first step is to find the enterprise value

= market capitalization + debt -cash

= $710,000 +$227,800 - $45,600

= $937,800-$45,600

= $892,200

The EBITDA can be calculated as follows

= EBIT + depreciation and amortization

= $102,800 + $164,600

= $267,400

Therefore the enterprise value-EBITDA can be calculated as follows

= 892,200/267,400

= 3.34 times

Meena Distributors has an annual demand for an airport metal detector of 1 comma 360 units. The cost of a typical detector to Me
Nata [24]

Answer:

1. Meena should take the quantity discount since with such discount the EOQ will rise by just 1 unit from 20.5units to 21.5 units and a net gain of $49.18.

2. The EOQ without discount will be 20.5 units

Explanation:

EOQ=Square root of ((2xordering cost x demand)/ (Carrying cost))

Gains of accepting discount will be

i. ordering cost savings= (demand/quantity order) x ordering cost

                                       = (660/360)*23=$42.16

ii. Price saving per item=0.18 x 660       =$118.80

total gain                                                   =$160.96

iii. Stockholding cost   =300 x (23 x 0.91 ) x 0.18=$1,130.22

iv. Additional cost incurred by increasing order= 1,130.22-(300 x 23 x0.18)

  =$111.78

Net gain= 160.96-111.78

              = $49.18
