Universal Mines Inc. operates three mines in West Virginia. The ore from each mine is separated into two grades before it is shi

pped. The daily production capacities of the three mines, as well as their daily operating costs, are as follows: c/day Mine High-grade Ore, Low-grade Ore, Operating Cost Tons/day Tons/day in $/day 20,000 22,000 18,000 Mine 11 Mine III Universal has committed itself to deliver 54 tons of high-grade order and 65 tons of low-grade ore by the end of the week. Universal can run its mines seven days a week if required. Determine the number of days each mine should be operated during the upcoming week if Universal Mines is to fulfill its commitment at the minimum total cost. Round the answers to two decimal places.

Answer:

this is a cost minimization problem, but it is missing some numbers, so I looked for similar questions (see attached PDF):

minimization equation = 20x₁ + 22x₂ + 18x₃ (costs per ton)

where:

x₁ = mine I

x₂ = mine II

x₃ = mine III

the constraints are:

4x₁ + 6x₂ + x₃ ≥ 54 (high grade ore)

4x₁ + 4x₂ + 6x₃ ≥ 65 (low grade ore)

x₁, x₂, x₃ ≤ 7 (only 7 days per week)  

using solver, the optimal solution is

2x₁, 7x₂, and 5x₃

a. The number of days Mine I should operate = <u>2 days </u>

b. The number of days Mine Il should operate = <u>7 days </u>

c. The number of days Mine III should operate = <u>5 days </u>

d. The total cost of the operation for next week = <u>$284,000</u>

Moorcroft Company’s budgeted sales and direct materials purchases are as follows:
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

a) Month        Sales

April           $300,000

May            $320,000

June           $370,000

Schedule of expected collections

For the month of June, 202x

Cash sales during June = $370,000 x 40% = $148,000

Collection from June's credit sales = $222,000 x 30% = $66,600

Collection from May's credit sales = $192,000 x 40% = $76,800

Collection from April's credit sales = $180,000 x 26% = $46,800

Total cash collections during June = $338,200

b) Month        DM purchases

April           $45,000

May            $54,000

June           $60,000

Schedule of expected cash payments for direct materials purchases

For the month of June, 202x

Cash purchases during June = $60,000 x 50% = $30,000

Cash payments for May's purchases = $27,000 x 40% = $10,800

Cash payments for April's purchases = $22,500 x 60% = $13,500

Total cash payments during June = $54,300

c) Month        Sales

April           $299,000

May            $337,000

June           $387,000

Schedule of expected collections

For the month of June, 202x

Cash sales during June = $370,000 x 40% = $148,000

Collection from June's credit sales = $222,000 x 30% = $66,600

Collection from May's credit sales = $192,000 x 50% = $96,000

Collection from April's credit sales = $180,000 x 18% = $32,400

Total cash collections during June = $343,000

It would be worth to pay the collector since the 2% reduction in uncollectible accounts is worth much more than the $1,000 that he/she earns.

d) Month        DM purchases

April           $45,000

May            $54,000

June           $60,000

Schedule of expected cash payments for direct materials purchases

For the month of June, 202x

Cash purchases during June = $60,000 x 40% = $24,000

Cash payments for May's purchases = $32,400 x 40% = $12,960

Cash payments for April's purchases = $27,000 x 60% = $16,200

Total cash payments during June = $53,160

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

$65,300

Explanation:

Ivanhoe's income tax expense = deferred tax liability 2021 - deferred tax liability 2020 + current tax expense 2020 = $42,800 - $26,800 + $49,300 = $65,300

A deferred  tax liability occurs when a corporation's income statement shows a certain amount following US GAAP, but the tax rules used by the IRS determine a different amount.
