olganol [36]

Answer: normal /upward sloping

Explanation:

The yield curve is a curve that shows the relationship that exist between interest rate and time to maturity. According to the expectation theory, it is stated that the yield curve will be upward sloping when there's increase in inflationary expectations.

The slope of the yield curve helps in giving a clue to know the direction of future interest rates. It should be noted that an upward sloping curve means that there is an expectation of higher interest rates in the future.

Therefore, when investors expect inflation to increase over the next 20 years and the maturity risk premium to increase over the next 5 years, the general yield curve will be upward sloping.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

a) it will do 210,000 units of standard

b) 127,500 units of standard

19,000 units of deluxe

Explanation:

Standard Deluxe

Sales 115 135

Variable Cost 50 54

CM 165 189

Constrain resource 0.5 1.5

(machine hours)

CM per constrain 330.00 126.00

a)

As the company can use up to 105,000 machine hours It will use as much as it can in doing Standard model which yield a better contribution of the constrain resource.

105,000 machine hours available / 0.5 hours per standard unit = 210,000 units

As there are 230,000 untis available for Standard we can use the entire capacity for standard and achieve the maximum contribution

b) as there isn't enough demand for standard the compay will do the 127,500 and the rest fill it with deluxe:

105,000 hours - 127,500 x 0.5 = 28,500 hours for deluxe

28,500 / 1.5 hours per unt = 19,000 units for deluxe

1. Computation for each division's margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROI)

QUUEN LAND DIVISION MARGIN

Using this formula

Margin =Net operating income/Total Sales

Let plug in the formula

Margin =$70,200/ $ 1,080,000

Turnover= $ 1,080,000 /$600,000

Turnover =1.8 times

Now let determine the ROI using this formula

ROI =Margin * Turnover

Let plug in the formula

ROI=6.50%*1.8

ROI=11.70%

NEW SOUTH WALE DIVISION MARGIN

Margin =$ 83,475 / $ 2,385,000

Margin=3.5%

NEW SOUTH WALE DIVISION ROI

Turnover=Total sales/Average Asset

Let plug in the formula

Turnover= $ 2,385,000 /$530,000

Turnover =4.5 times

Now let determine the ROI using this formula

ROI =Margin * Turnover

Let plug in the formula

ROI=3.5%*4.5

RO1=15.75%

2. Based on the above calculation the divisional manager that seems to be doing the better job
