Suppose Chef Kitchen manufactures cast iron skillets. One model is a 10-inch skillet that sells for $ 28 . Chef Kitchen project

Lerok [7]

Answer:

production schedule for July = 815 10-inch skillets

Explanation:

price of 10-inch skillet $28

projected sales 625 units

costs:

direct materials $6
direct labor $3
manufacturing overhead $5
sales and administrative expenses $1,000

beginning inventory 60 units

ending inventory 40% of August sales

production during July = (projected sales - beginning inventory) + (40% x projected sales August) = (625 units - 60 units) + (40% x 625 units) = 565 units + 250 units = 815 10-inch skillets

After segmentation, the customer group selected by a firm is referred to as the target market.

love history [14]

True.

Segmentation allows a firm to break the customer market by different categories and groups, such as demographics, market location, age, gender, and more. The segmentation process uses data to help the firm choose its target market to capture the most value. The customer group selected is then the target market for the firm.

One of your customers is delinquent on his accounts payable balance. You’ve mutually agreed to a repayment schedule of $500 per

jekas [21]

Answer: Number of months = 66.87 months

Explanation:

Given that,

Monthly Payment = $500

Interest rate(r) = 1.95% per month

Current Balance = $18,500

Number of months(t) = ?

$Current\ balance = Monthly\ payment\times(\frac{1-present\ value\ factor}{r})$

$Current\ balance = Monthly\ payment\times(\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+r)^{t}} }{r})$

$18,500 = 500\times(\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+0.0195)^{t}} }{0.0195})$

$\frac{18,500}{500}\times0.0195=1-\frac{1}{1.0195^{t} }$

$\frac{1}{1.0195^{t}}=1-0.7215$

$1.0195^{t}=\frac{1}{0.2785}$

$1.0195^{t}=3.5906$

Taking log on both side

t log(1.0195) = log(3.5906)

$t = \frac{0.5551}{0.0083}$

t = 66.87 months

A company is considering investing in a new machine that requires a cash payment of $38,209 today. The machine will generate ann

Answer:

The IRR is 10%.

Explanation:

a) Calculation of Internal Rate of Return (IRR):

We choose a discount rate, say 10% and use it to discount the cash flows to their present values. If the net present value (NPV) of all the cash flows equals zero, then that discount rate is accepted as the IRR.

b) Without 10% discount rate, the discount factors are for:

1st year = 1.1 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 1

2nd year = 1.21 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 2

3rd year = 1.331 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 3

c) These discount factors will divide the cash inflows for each year:

1st year, NPV = $15,364/1.1 = $13,967.27

2nd year, NPV = $15,364/1.21 = $12,697.52

3rd year, NPV = $15,364/1.331 = $11,543.20

Total NPV of inflows = $38,209 approximately

NPV of outflows -$38,209

NPV of inflows and outflows $0

So, the IRR is 10%.

IRR is a capital budgeting metric to measure profitability by using a discount rate which makes the net present value of all cash flows to become zero. To get a suitable rate, trial and error is involved, or one can make use of educated best guess.
