A process currently services an average of 43 customers per day. Observations in recent weeks show that its utilization is about

90​ percent, allowing for just a 10 percent capacity cushion. If demand is expected to be 70 percent of the current level in five years and management wants to have a capacity cushion of just 8 ​percent, what capacity requirement should be​ planned?

Answer:

The correct answer is 31 customers per day.

Explanation:

Consider the current capacity requirement as = x

Management wants to have a capacity cushion = 8%.

So the utilization is required = 100% - 8% = 92%

A process of currently services an average of 43 customers per day and utilization is 90%.

Expected Demand=70%= 70 ÷ 100 = 0.70

Current utilization = 90% = 0.90

Let Capacity requirement = X

Capacity requirement ÷ required utilization  = Expected Demand rate × current service rate ÷ current utilization rate

X ÷ 0.92  = 0.70 × 43 ÷ 0.90

X = 0.70 × 43 ÷ 0.90 × 0.92

= 30.76  or 31

Needed capacity requirement is 31 customer per day.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

$797,837

Explanation:

the first withdrawal is $50,000

the second is $51,500

and so on...

the formula that used to solve the interest rate earned by the annuity is:

$50,000 x {[(1 + i)³⁰ - (1 + 3%)³⁰] / [(1 + i)³⁰ x (i - 3%)]} x (1 + i) = $5,000 x {[(1 + i)³⁰ - (1 + 3%)³⁰] / (i - 3%)}

we start to simplify the equation by cancelling  {[(1 + i)³⁰ - (1 + 3%)³⁰] / (i - 3%)}

[$50,000 x (1 + i)] / (1 + i)³⁰ = $5,000

now we cancel $5,000 on each side:

[10 x (1 + i)] / (1 + i)³⁰ = 1

now lets take away (1 + i):

10 / (1 + i)²⁹ = 1

things get a little bit more simple now:

10 = (1 + i)²⁹

²⁹√10 = ²⁹√(1 + i)²⁹

1.082636734 = 1 + i

i = 1.082636734 - 1 = 0.082636734 = 8.2636734%

now we replace i in any equation:

= $50,000 x {[(1 + 0.082636734)³⁰ - 1.03³⁰] / [(1 + 0.082636734)³⁰ x (0.082636734 - 0.03)]} x (1 + 0.082636734)

= $50,000 x  {[10.82636738 - 2.427262471] / [10.82636738 x 0.052636734]} x (1 + 0.082636734)

= $50,000 x  {8.399104909 / 0.56986462} x (1.082636734)

= $50,000 x 14.73877236 x 1.082636734

= $797,837

The JPY/AUD spot exchange rate is 82.42, the JPY interest rate is 0.15%, and the AUD interest rate is 4.95%. If the interest rat
defon

Answer:

The answer is B. -97.7.

Explanation:

As the question gives us the spot rate, the interest rates of two countries, We can apply the covered interest parity to calculate the 90-day forward exchange rate JPY/AUD from which 90-day forward points can be derived.

F = S x ( 1+ Rjpy) / ( 1+ Raud); in which Rjpy denoted as JPY interest rate ( 0.15% per annum) while Raud is AUD interest rate ( 4.95% per annum).

F = 82.42 x (1+ 0.15% x 90/360) / ( 1 + 4.95% x 90/360) = 81.443

=> The 90-day forward points is : 100 x ( F-S) = 100 x ( 81.443 - 82.42) = -97.7

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

$763,057

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1-6 =  $89,000

Cash flow in year 7 = 79,000

Cash flow in year 8 = 69,000

Cash flow in year 9=  59,000

Cash flow in year 10 =  49,000 +  $790,000 = 839,000

I = 11%

Present value = $763,057

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
