The lock box department at Bank 21 handles the processing of monthly loan payments to the bank, monthly and quarterly premium pa

yments to a local insurance company, and bill payments for 85 of the bank's largest commercial customers. The payments are processed by machine operators, with one operator per machine. An operator can process one payment in 0.25 minute. Setup times are negligible in this situation. A capacity cushion of 20 percent is needed for the operation. The average monthly (not annual) volume of payments processed through the department currently is 400,000. However, it is expected to increase by 20 percent. The department operates eight hours per shift, two shifts per day, 260 days per year. How many machines (not operators) are needed to satisfy the new total processing volume? (Round up to the next whole integer.)

Answer:

7.211538 ~ 8

Explanation:

1 machine operates 16 hrs per day, for 260 days

number of mins = 16*260*60

                           = 249600 mins

for 0.25 mins it can do 1 transaction

for 249600 ​ mins = 249600 / 0.25

                              = 998400

Cushion for 20% needed

so it can do 80% of 998400 = 0.8*998400

                                               = 798720

Per month transactions = 400000

Total year = 12*400000

                 = 4800000

Its expected to increase by 20%

Hence new number of trasactions = 1.2*4800000

                                                       = 5760000

Number of machines required = 5760000​/798720

                                                   = 7.211538 ~ 8

If Marriott used a single corporate hurdle rate for evaluating investment opportunities in each of its lines of business, what w
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a company(Marriott in this case) uses a single hurdle rate to decide whether an investment should be undertaken or not, some projects that need to be accepted would end up being rejected and vice versa. For example,

if Marriott's hurdle rate is 10% and it's evaluating

project A with a 15% cost of capital &

project B with a 6% cost of capital .

Evaluation:

Project A would probably lead to a negative NPV because the cost of capital is higher (meaning it is riskier than the firm) hence could be rejected, but using the company hurdle rate of 10% to evaluate it could make its NPV positive. This would ignore the actual additional risk of the project.

The income statement is a statement of revenue and costs in order to show the financial performance of an entity during a period of time.  It shows the gross profit and net operating profit or loss.

The Gross profit is the difference between Sales Revenue and the Cost of goods sold.

The Operating Profit (Loss) is the difference between the Gross profit and the Operating costs.

In the study conducted by thomas & chess in 1980 categorizing attachment, what percentage of babies were roughly categorized
belka [17]

40%

An easy baby and a tough baby vary primarily in that the former has more periodic bodily processes and more positive responses to stimuli, whilst the latter has fewer normal body processes and more negative responses.

Every parent wishes their children were simple. Parents with challenging infants may harbour envy for those of peaceful infants. However, studies suggest that having kids with a challenging temperament is not always a bad thing. This article will define temperament, examine the three varieties of temperament, and instruct you on how to handle a challenging infant.

Each kid is unique from birth despite since they are reared in the same home, as parents of several children are already aware. New-borns display various ways of responding to their surroundings right away.
