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>

During December, Far West Services makes a $2,000 credit sale. The state sales tax rate is 6% and the local sales tax rate is 2.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Total sales tax payable:170, sales :2000

Explanation:

Sale price x sales tax rate = sales tax payable

2000 x .085 (6%+2.5%) = 170

it doesn’t say so I’m assuming that the 2,000 credit sale does NOT include the sales tax due.

Under what conditions would you recommend using each of these funding methods to pay for information systems expenses: allocatio
Arada [10]

Answer:

The conditions under which each funding method for paying for IT system expenses would be recommended are:

Allocation method is preferred to other methods when actual usage cannot be captured but, some other cost drivers can be used as the allocation bases.

Chargeback method works better than others when actual usage by each unit can be accurately captured.

Explanation:

The Allocation Funding Method charges IT costs to individuals, departments, or business units based on revenues, number of employees, and other cost drivers and not based on usage. It is often used when actual usage cannot be recorded.

The chargeback method charges IT costs to individuals, departments, or business units based on their actual usage of the IT services.  With wide variation in IT usage, business units need to be charged their actual costs consumed.

The corporate budget method allocates IT cost based on a periodic predetermined rate. It is used where unit managers need to be given control over their budgets, enabling them to search for cost-saving technologies.
