Greg had selected 8 intervals total to service. He logged in on time for each interval, but ended up logging out 5

inysia [295]

Answer:

The resulting CA percentage for the week to the nearest number is 94%

Explanation:

CA refers to Commitment Adherence.

Commitment Adherence (CA) is a way to calculate the reliability of an employee in relation to how much time they put into their work.

Put differently, it is a mathematical comparison between how much time you stated that you were going to work versus the actual amount worked. This concept is prevalent with people who use clock-in and clock-out system to measure productivity.

Step 1

The formula for calculating Commitment Adherence (CA) is:

(Serviced Minutes - Excused Non-Serviced Minutes) / (Posted Minutes + Released Minutes)

When you log out at about 5 minutes early it translates to 83% because each interval is 30 minutes. So 23/30 = 83%

Step 2

There are 8 intervals. 5 of them are 100% each. Thus total intervals for the week equal

(5*100%)+(3*83%) =

7.49 *30 = 224.7

Total number of intervals selected =

8*30 = 240

Therefore commitment adherence = 224.7/240

= 0.94%

Cheers!

Kapono Farms exchanged an old tractor for a newer model. The old tractor had a book value of $15,000 (original cost of $34,000 l

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

a. Gain on sale of land = $230,000

b. Loss on the exchange of the tractor = $5,400

c-1. Gain on Exchange of the tractor = $5,000

c-2. Initial value of new tractor = $35,600

Explanation:

a. What is the amount of gain or loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange of the land?

This can be determined as follows:

Details Amount $

Fair value of land 760,000

Book value of land (530,000)

Gain (loss) on sale of land 230,000

b. What is the amount of gain or loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange of the tractor?

This can be determined as follows:

Details Amount $

Original Cost of Tractor 34,000

Accumulated Depreciation (19,000)

Book Value of Tractor 15,000

Therefore, we have:

Loss on Exchange of the tractor = Fair value - Book Value of Tractor = $9,600 - $15,000 = $5,400

c. Assume the fair value of the old tractor is $20,000 instead of $9,600. What is the amount of gain or loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange? What is the initial value of the new tractor?

c-1. Calculation of the amount of gain or loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange

From part b, we have:

Book Value of Tractor = $15,000

And, we have:

Fair Value = $20,000

Therefore, we have:

Gain on Exchange of the tractor = Fair value - Book Value of Tractor = $20,000 - $15,000 = $5,000

c-2. Calculation of the initial value of the new tractor

This can be determined as follows:

Initial value of new tractor = Fair Value of tractor given + Cash paid = $9,600 + $26,000 = $35,600

An investor believes that there will be a big jump in a stock price, but is uncertain as to the direction. Identify six differen

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Consider the following explanation.

Explanation:

The six different strategies (spreads or combinations) the investor can follow:

1)short Butterfly spread: it’s a spread with selling one call option with the lowest strike price(XL),purchasing two call options with the medium strike price(XM) and selling one call option with the highest strike price (XH) , XL<XM<XH. The strike price (XM) is generally chosen such that its equal to the stock price and options are of same maturity. The strategy shall generate the net income from the selling of calls when the stock price deviated from the strike price XM due to the high volatility. A high jump either way guarantees a net income.

2) The Straddle combination with long one put and long 1 call with the same strike price X and maturity. Its payoff depends on the deviation of the strike price if the big jump either way is expected then either the put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness(payoffs) covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The high jump either way guarantees a big payoff from either the put or the call.

3)In the Strangle combination there is one long call with strike price (Xc) and one long put with strike price Xp,this combination is cheaper to generate due to purchase of OTM(out of the money) options. If the big jump either way is expected then either the put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness (payoffs) covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The high jump either way guarantees a big payoff from either the put or the call. It’s easier to cover all the lesser premiums paid for the call and put and generate profits with a big move.

4) The Strip combination consists of 1 call+2 put with same exercise price and maturity. If the big jump either way is expected then either the two put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The payoff generated by the 2 puts is much more when the stock moves downwards as compared to when the stock moves upwards. Investor is sure of the uncertain directional big jump but thinks that the probability of downward move is greater than the upward move.

5) The Strap combination consists of 2 calls+1 put with same exercise price and maturity. If the big jump either way is expected then either the 1 put or the 2 calls expires in the money so that the moneyness covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The payoff generated by the 2 calls is much more when the stock moves upwards as compared to when the stock moves downwards. Investor is sure of the uncertain directional big jump but thinks that the probability of upward move is greater than the downward move.

6) Short Calendar spread: short shorter term call and at the same time short longer term call therefore the income is generated by the big move from the premiums of the calls and differences in the maturity.

Custom Computers, Inc. assembles custom home computer systems. The heat sinks needed are bought for $14 each and are ordered in

belka [17]

Answer:

EOQ = 609.91 units

Average inventory= 600 units

Number of orders = 5.2 times

Annual inventory holding cost =$1,200

Annual ordering cost = $312

Total cost = $88,312

Explanation:

EOQ =√ (2× Co× D)/Ch

EOQ= ? , Co-60, Ch- 2, D- 6200

EOQ = √(2× 60× 6200/2)

EOQ = 609.9180273

Average inventory = minimum level +EOQ/2

= 1200 /2 = 600 units

Number of orders = Annual demand/ order quantity

= 6,200/1200 = 5.166

Number of orders = 5.2 times

Annual inventory holding cost = Average inventory × holding cost per unit

=600 × $2 =$1,200

Annual ordering cost = No of orders × ordering cost per order

= 5.2 times × 2 =$312

Annual inventory cost = Purchase cost + Ordering cost + Holding cost

Purchase cost=Annual demand× unit price 14× 6200= 86,800

Total cost = 86,800 + $1,200+ $312

=88312
