Answer:
The optimal production plan gives a total costs of $417,672 for the periods Feb to May
In Feb we will have to hire 26 workers to close the gap between demand and production from our 100 existing workers
In March however, we will have to lay them off (26 workers) to keep our production in line with demand.
In April, we are constrained to 100 workers, thus requiring that we run overtime. The overtime requirement is between 3,060 hours to max of 5,000 hours. Note that inspire of the hours chosen, demand for April still won't be fulfilled.
The best option will be the one that gives us last backlog because of the costs of backorder being extremely costly.
5,000 overtime hours in April is the best option .
In May, we are constrained to our 100 workers, meaning we will fulfill our back orders and also retain inventory in hand of 7,760 units.
The 3 pages attached show how the cost is worked out and the presentation as well.
Answer:
current floating exchange rate
Explanation:
Exchange rate is the rate at which one currency will be exchanged with another. For example, 1 United States Dollar is equivalent to 4.24 Poland Zloty as of March 2020.
There are two common types of exchange rates:
1. Floating exchange rate: This is set by the FOREX market, and is based on the current supply and demand of currencies. When demand for a currency is high, its value increases and vice versa.
2. Fixed exchange rate: A fixed or pegged exchange rate is whereby a government entirely determines the rate and value of the currency.
Generally, a floating exchange rate system is used in the global market. This does not mean countries allow their currencies to fluctuate endlessly. The central bank of a country and it's government does intervene and manipulate the currency to make it favorable for them during international trade but it is done in a more indirect manner as opposed to a fixed exchange rate system.
To complete the above question, please see below:
Sub-Prime Loan Company is thinking of opening a new office, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new office. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No change in net operating working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.)
<span>WACC 10.0% </span>
<span>Opportunity cost $100,000 </span>
<span>Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) $65,000 </span>
<span>Straight-line depreciation rate for equipment 33.333% </span>
<span>Annual sales revenues $123,000 </span>
<span>Annual operating costs (excl. depreciation) $25,000 </span>
<span>Tax rate 35%
</span>
The answer is <span>12,271</span>
Answer:
a. contact efficiency
Explanation:
Contact efficiency is defined as the way by which businesses cut the number of transactions of stages that exist between a product and the final consumer.
Typically it results in a wide variety of options of goods and services to be available to the consumer in on place.
The consumer finds it easy to get what he is looking for and the supplier has a ready market for his goods.
In the given scenario Foot Locker effectively uses contact efficiency by making the consumer find several different brands of shies. At the same time, for companies that manufacture sneakers, selling through Foot Locker will make it easier to reach a lot of potential buyers.
