Two currently owned machines are being considered for the production of a part. The capital investment associated with the machi

nes is about the same and can be ignored for purposes of this example. The important differences between the machines are their production capacities (production rate x available production hours) and their reject rates (percentage of parts produced that cannot be sold). Consider the following table: Machine A Machine B Production rate Hours available for production Percent parts rejected 100 parts/hour 7 hours/day 3% 130 parts/hour 6 hours/day 10% The material cost is $6.00 per part, and all defect-free parts produced can be sold for $12 each. (Rejected parts have negligible scrap value.) For either machine, the operator cost is $15.00 per hour and the variable overhead rate for traceable costs is $5.00 per hour. Assume that the daily demand for this part is large enough that all defect-free parts can be sold. Which machine should be selected?

Answer:

Machine A's output in a day = 100 × 7 = 700

Rejected output of machine A =0.03 × 700 = 21

Thus defect free output of machine A = 700 – 21 = 679

Revenue from Using Machine A = 679 × 12 = 8148

Cost of Using Machine A = 6 × (Defect free output) + 15 × 7 + 5 × 7 = 6 × 679 + 105 + 35 = 4214

Thus, profit from using machine A = 8148 – 4214 = 3934

Machine B's output in a day =130 × 6 = 780

Rejected output of machine B = 0.1 × 780 = 78

Thus, defect free output of machine B = 780 – 78 = 702

Revenue from Using Machine B = 702 × 12 = 8424

Cost of Using Machine B = 6 × 702 + 15 × 6 + 5 × 6 = + 105 + 35 = 4212 + 120 = 4332

Thus profit from using machine B = 8424 – 4332 = 4029

Since the profit from using machine B is higher, Machine B should be selected.

Suppose that $2000 is loaned at a rate of 11.5% , compounded semiannually. assuming that no payments are made, find the amount o
Zolol [24]

This problem is solved by using the compound interest formula:
 A=P(1+(I/period))^(number of periods)
 Where A = amount accumulated and P = amount loaned and I = Interest 
 A = ? P = $2, 000, I = 0.115, Period = 2 (semi annually) Number of period = 2
*7 (I. e paid twice over a 7 yrs span) 
 So we have 
 A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.115/2)^(14)
 A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.0575)^(14)
 A = 2000 (1.0575)^(14)
 A = 2000 (2.1873851765154) = 4374.77035
 So we have 4374.80 to the nearest cent.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A.Start a moderate portfolio and shift to high risk later in life.

Explanation:

Investment portfolio may be defined as the financial investments done by one. It is the collection or ownership of various assets and stocks, bonds, real estates, cash, etc.

In the context, Regina who is 25 year old wishes to start an investment plan. For this her financial advisor may suggest her to start her investment in a moderate portfolio and then later may shift to a high risk portfolio. This is because Regina is young and is new to investment. She is not experience enough to invest in high risk portfolio. When she gains knowledge about investments in her life then she can properly plan her investment in order to achieve maximum profit.
