Answer:

The answer is: 5 hours 20 minutes; 4 Trucks

Explanation:

Each truck has a 16 minute window to pick up and dump the coal. This process can be observed as an assembly line where each stage of production is the stages of coal transport. When Truck A is travelling to the dump site, Truck B can be loading the coal. When Truck B is travelling to the dump site and Truck A is dumping the coal, Truck C would be loading the coal. When Truck A is travelling to the loading area, Truck B dumping the coal and Truck C travelling to the dump site, Truck D would be loading the coal. Once Truck A gets to the loading area, Truck D would be on its way to the dump site and so on. In each 16 minute window 88 tons of coal (22 tons * 4) is picked up and dumped, that is, 22 tons every 4 minutes. Given that there are 1, 760 tons of coal, the total time taken to dump all the coal is equal to 320 minutes:

88 tons = 16 minutes (22 tons dumped every 4 minutes)

1, 760 tons = (1760 tons * 16)/88 tons = 320 minutes

320 minutes/ 60 minutes = 5 hours 20 minutes

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Stock Y has overvalued and Stock Z as undervalued

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

For Stock Y

= 4.85% + 1.40 × 7.35%

= 4.85% + 10.29%

= 15.14%

For Stock Z

= 4.85% + 0.85 × 7.35%

= 4.85% + 6.2475%

= 11.0975%

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called market risk premium and the same is applied in the answer

As we see the expected return of both the stock So, Stock Y has overvalued and Stock Z as undervalued

vichka [17]

Answer: $30,000

Explanation:

In accounting, the treatment of the Sale and Operating Leaseback operation is such that a gain is only recognized if the sales price is more than the fair value. In such a case the difference between the fair value and the carrying price is considered the Gain on Sale.

The Difference between the sales price and the fair value is to be amortized over the period of use.

Seeing as the selling price is more than the fair value, the Gain on Sale is therefore,

= Fair Value - Carrying Value

= 310,000 - 280,000

= $30,000

$30,000 is the amount of gain on sale of the property recognized by Alla on January 1, Year 1.
