Answer:

profit margin = 23.33%

Explanation:

profit margin = net profit / net sales

net profit = $2,800
net sales = $12,000

profit margin = $2,800 / $12,000 = 0.233333 = 23.33%

The profit margin is a profitability ratio used to compare how many cents different companies are able to make from selling $1. Different companies have different sales levels, but we can group companies by industries and then compare them in order to determine which ones are more efficient at generating income. E.g. Company A sells $100 million but only makes $2 million in profits per year (PM = 2%), and it is much less efficient than Company B that sells $10 million and makes $1 in profits (PM = 10%). Company A's costs are too high compared to Company B's costs.

Markland First National Bank of Rolla utilizes Kanban techniques in its check processing facility. The fol-lowing information is

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

the current daily demand of the check processing facility is 8000 units, and a 16 containers is required.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that,

(A) The calculation of delay demand is as follows:

K = (+_) (1 +) C

K = is the number of containers

d = the average delay demand

w = the waiting time per average per unit

p = the average processing time per unit

C = Container quantity

α = safe guard policy variable

Now,

The average processing time = 2/24 * 60 =0.0167

The average waiting time is = 2/24 =0.083

The required number of container = 20 = (0.083 + 0.0167 ) (1 + 0.25) /50

which is

20 * 50 = (0.1) (1.25)

Thus,

1000 / 0.125 = 8000

Now,

The average daily demand is 8000

The next step is to find out how many containers would be needed.

Now,

If there is no waste, it is = 0

The required number of containers will be =

K = 8000 ( 0.083 + 0.0167) ( 1 + 0 )/ 50

= 8000/5= 16 Containers
