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.

Classifying of each situation with the correct combination of change in price and quantity:
a. On a hot day, both demand for lemonade and supply of lemonade increase - Pp? Q increase
b. On a cold day, both demand for ice cream and the supply of ice cream decrease - Pp? Q decrease
c. When Hawaii's Mt. Kilauea erupts violently, the demand on the part of tourists for sightseeing flights increases but the supply of pilots willing to provide these dangerous flights decreases- P increase Qq?
d. In a hot area of Arizona where they generate a lot of their electricity with wind turbines, the demand for electricity falls on windy days as people switch off their air conditioners and enjoy the breeze. But at the same time, the amount of electricity supplied increases as the wind turbines spin faster - P decrease Qq?
Answer:
Price of stock- $26
Explanation:
<em>Using te dividend valuation model, the price of a stock is the present value of the future cash flows expected from the stock discounted at the required rate of return.</em>
Where a stock is expected to pay dividend growing at a specific rate, the price of the stock can be dertermined as follows:
Price = D(1+g)/(ke-g)
D -dividend payable now,
Ke-required rate of return,
g - growth rate in dividend
So we can work out the price as follows:
Price = 1.25( 1+0.04)/(0.09-0.04)
= $26
Price =$26
Answer:
Company A and Company B
Calculation of Goodwill on Acquisition:
= $212,433
Explanation:
a) Current market value of:
Tangible physical assets = $1,234,567
Intangible asset = $125,000
Total assets' value = $1,359,567
less Liabilities:
Operating = $160,000
Financial = 600,000 ($760,000)
Net value of assets = $599,567
Purchase Price (Company B) $812,000
Goodwill $212,433
b) Company A acquired Goodwill when it bought over Company B. This is an intangible asset which is calculated by subtracting the net value of assets (the difference between the fair market value of the assets and liabilities) from the purchase price of the acquired subsidiary.

Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of cost allocated to the Cafeteria under the step method
Using this formula
Allocation to Cafeteria=[Cafeteria/(Cafeteria+Producing Department A+Producing Department B)]×Budgeted costs
Let plug in the formula
Allocation to Cafeteria=[25/(25 + 308 + 287)] x $72,450
Allocation to Cafeteria=(25/520)×$72,450
Allocation to Cafeteria=0.0480769231×$72,450
Allocation to Cafeteria=$3,483.17
Therefore the amount of cost allocated to the Cafeteria under the step method would be $3,483.17
