Answer:

a) Optimal lot size = 1,118.03

b) Annual total cost = $46.51

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a) Daily holding cost = $50 × 24% ÷ 300 = $0.04

Optimal lot size = Sqrt (2 × Demand rate × Setup cost ÷ (Daily holding cost × ( 1 - Demand rate ÷ Production cost)))

= Sqrt(2 × 100 × $200 ÷ ($0.04 × (1 - 20 ÷ 100)))

= $1,118.03

b) If the production rate is ignored then optimal lot size :

= Sqrt (2 × 20 × $200 ÷ 1)

= 89.44

Annual total cost = Setup cost+ holding cost

= (Demand rate ÷ Optimal lot size) × Setup cost + (Optimal lot size ÷ 2) × holding cost

= (20 ÷ 89.44) × $200 + 89.44 ÷ 2 ×$0.04

= $44.72 +  $1.79

= $46.51

As a novice investor, Laura is concerned about fees. She has heard stories of investors who have lost thousands of dollars in fe
topjm [15]

Answer:

Laura should focus on purchasing Index Mutual Funds and Exchanged-Traded Funds.

Explanation:

Laura should, amongst many investments’ options, focus on two particular types of investments: the first one is called index mutual funds, which have a much lower fee than mutual funds, giving the investor an investment with lower cost while having a fund that works in many ways equal to mutual funds. The second one should be exchange-traded funds, particularly because those funds are based on commissions, making it possible to charge lower fees than mutual funds.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Therefore the constant rate of new machine should be 30 units per hour.

Explanation:

Given that,

Company C has a machine that, working alone at its constant rate.

In 5 hours it produced 100 units certain product.

In 1 hour it produced (100÷5) units certain product.

                                     =20 units.

So,the constant rate of this machine is 20 units per hours.

Company C buys a new machine.

If two machine are working together,

In 2 hours, they produces 100 units.

In 1 hour, they produces (100÷2) units=50 units.

The constant rate of both machines is 50 units per hours.

Since first machine produces 20 unit per hour.

Then, the new machine produces =(50-20) =30 units per hour.

Therefore the constant rate of new machine should be 30 units per hour.

Dominik [7]

Explanation:

A). The computation of price per share is shown below:-

Debt outstanding ÷ (Stock outstanding of Plan 1 - Stock outstanding of

Plan 2)

= $1,730,000 ÷ (205,000 - 125,000)

= $21.63 per share

B a.) Under equity plan the value is

= Debt outstanding × Stock outstanding of Plan 1

= $21.63 × 205,000 shares

= $4,433,125

B b.) under the levered plan the value is

Price per share × Stock outstanding of Plan 2 + Debt outstanding

= $21.63 × 125,000 shares + $1,730,000

= $2,703,125 + $1,730,000

= $4,433,125
