13. Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 80,000 units of Alpha and 60,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the raw

material available for production is limited to 160,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?

Answer:

80000 unit of Alpha

Explanation:

This is a Limiting factor/resource constraint question. In certain situations entities suffer from shortage of necessary resources (e.g: shortage of material, labor hours, machine hours), in such circumstances entities strive to allocate the constraint resources to the production of those products which generate the highest contribution per limiting factor and help maximize total contribution. In this case the limiting factor for Cane is Raw material.

Lets suppose that each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta sell for $120 and $80</em> respectively and variable cost per unit of <em>Alpha and Beta is $69 and $20 </em>respectively. Each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta require 2 and 5 pounds</em> of raw material for production respectively.

Now that we have supposed the data we have to compute contribution per unit and then contribution per limiting factor and based on the ranking (i.e highest first) of contribution per limiting factor we decide which product should be given priority for resource allocation.

<em>Lets calculate contribution per unit.</em>

Alpha:

Contribution per unit= SP-VC

Where, SP stands for selling price and VC stands for variable cost.

CPU= 120-69

CPU=$51

Beta:

Contribution per unit= 80-40

CPU=$40

<em />

<em />

<em>Now, lets calculate contribution per limiting factor.</em>

Alpha:

CLF: $51÷2

CLF: $25.5        1st Rank

Beta:

CLF: $40÷5

CLF: $8              2nd Rank

So clearly Alpha has a greater contribution per limiting factor and it implies that Alpha will earn the highest contribution margin therefore Cane should produce and allocate resources to Alpha first and then Beta if there remains any?

Profit maximizing output:

It requires 2 pounds of raw material to produce one unit of Alpha (i.e 80000×2=160000) Therefore Cane should produce 80000 units of Alpha only in order to maximize its profits.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

If the money wage rate increased from $40.00 to 45.24 and hour and consumer prices rose by 16%, we would expect _______ people to try to find a job and employed people to want to work _______ hours.

a. more; longer.

The____ would _____.

b. quantity of labor supplied; increase.

Explanation:

Generally, when wage rates increase, this will led to an increase in the inflation rate. The problem is what happens if wages increase less than the inflation rate. This means that real wages will actually decrease once we adjust them to inflation. This will cause more people trying to get a job or working longer hours just to be able to pay for the same amount of goods as before.

In this example, the wage rate increased by 13.1%, but the inflation rate increased by 16%, so real wages decreased.

Taveras Corporation is currently operating at 50% of its available manufacturing capacity. It uses a job-order costing system wi
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

the  total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90 is $3,792

Explanation:

The computation of the  total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90 is given below:

But before that the predetermined overhead rate should be calculated

So,

= ($2,800,000 ÷ 200,000) + $2

= $16

Now the total manufacturing cost is

= $1,472 + $1,056 + 79 × $16

= $3,792

hence, the  total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90 is $3,792

stellarik [79]

Answer:

c. Shortage will cause the price to rise toward $10

Explanation:

c. Shortage will cause the price to rise toward $10

The equilibrium price is $10 this any price below the equilibrium price will create a shortage in the market because at price lower than equilibrium price, the demand is greater than the supply. Thus, shortage will push the prices upwards or towards equilibrium price.

Under the UCC a sales or lease contract will not fail for indefiniteness even if there are open terms if the parties intended to
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

At the end of a common agreement, there is no consequence for any of the parties, since it is their will to end the contract that they previously agreed to sign

Termination of the lease by the lessor.

The lessor may unilaterally terminate the lease under the conditions established by law, paying any compensation that may arise.

The law expressly establishes when and why the lease can be terminated by the lessor, and only in those cases can the contract be terminated without there being room for the payment of a penal clause or non-compliance, if any, since in those cases the law in particular established how and why to terminate the contract, and set the penalties to which there is room.
