A firm is weighing three capacity alternatives: small, medium, and large job shop. Whatever capacity choice is made, the market

for the firm's product can be "moderate" or "strong." The probability of moderate acceptance is estimated to be 40 percent; strong acceptance has a probability of 60 percent. The payoffs are as follows. Small job shop, moderate market = $24,000; Small job shop, strong market = $54,000. Medium job shop, moderate market = $20,000; medium job shop, strong market = $64,000. Large job shop, moderate market = -$2,000; large job shop, strong market = $96,000. Which capacity choice should the firm make?

Answer:

<u>Since expected payoff for large job shop option is highest, firm should make large job shop option as capacity choice</u>

Explanation:

Expected payoff of any capacity alternative

= Probability of moderate acceptance x Payoff of moderate acceptance + Probability of strong acceptance x Payoff of strong acceptance

= 0.40 x Payoff of moderate acceptance + 0.60 x Pay off of strong acceptance

Thus Pay off for small job shop option

= 0.40 x 24000 + 0.6 x 54000

= 9600 + 32400

= $42,000

Pay off for medium job shop option

= 0.40 x 20000 + 0.60 x 64000

= 8000 + 38400

= $ 46,400

Pay off for large job shop option

= - 0.40 x 2000 + 0.60 x 96000

= - 800 + 57600

= $56,800

ikadub [295]

Answer: This question lacks the following answers:

a. market share pricing

b. profit maximization

c. demand orientation

d. sales maximization

<u>The correct answer is b)</u>

Explanation:

The practice of giving away free things (mobile accessories) can be good after the launch of a new product range, or even when the company itself is entirely new. However, it is not feasible in the long run, as the company <u>does not generate profit</u> from giving products for free.

Giving discounts is definitely more lucrative, as the discount itself provides enough of an incentive for the customer to buy the accessory. On the company side, <em>profit </em>will be generated (although decreased with the discount, but still generated compared to giving free things).

Dée Trader opens a brokerage account and purchases 300 shares of Internet Dreams at $36 per share. She borrows $4,500 from her b
meriva

Answer:

A) Dee´s Margin = 58.33%; B) Remaining Margin if price drops to $26 is 30.56% C) She won´t receive a margin call (but close...)

D) Rate of Return = - 32.36%

Explanation:

Hi, first let´s find out what the initial margin is, for that we have to use the following formula.

Margin=\frac{Equity}{ValueStocks}

Now, in order to find the equity, we have to find the total value of the stocks and substract the debt from it, since it was 300 shares at $30 per share, the total value of the investment is $7,800, therefore, its equity is $3,300 ($7,800-$4,500).

So everything should look like this

Margin=\frac{6,300}{10,800} =0.5833

So the initial margin was 58.33%

If the price drops to $26 by the end of the year, the remaining margin in her account is:

Margin=\frac{3,300}{10,800} =0.3056

So the remaining margin one year later, after the stock price dropped to $26 was 30.56%

Now, in order to find the rate of return on her investment, at the end of the year, we have to remember that the money loaned was at 11%, therefore, the best way to find out the return of this investment is to convert this into money, like such.

First (Gross Return of the stock)

Gross Return=\frac{Final.P-Initial.P}{Initial.P} x100

Gross Return=\frac{26-36}{36} x100=-0.2778

Ok, we have the gross return, which is -$27.78%

The interest expenses are just as follows.

Interest Expense=4,500*0.11=-495

To find the return on the investmen, we need to use the following formula.

RateReturn=\frac{FinalInvestment-InitialInvestment}{InitialInvesment} x100

The final investment is: Gross return($)+interest Expenses

FinalInvest=\frac{300*(-10)+(-4,500*0.11)}{10,800} =-0.3236

This means that, by the end of the year, her return on the investment was -32.36%. In money, this is - $3,495.

Best of luck.

tino4ka555 [31]

The net operating income is $3,108,960

The average operationg assets is $8,600,000

= 3,108,960 - (0.16×8,600,000)

= 3,108,960-1,376,000

= 1,732,960
