Answer: redesign its products to eliminate those features that might have market appeal, but would excessively increase production costs.

Explanation:

The main aim of every organization are typically cost minimization and profit maximization. If I wanted to advise a company on the kind of actions to take to perform value chain activities more cost effectively, I'll tell them to improve their supply chain efficiency as well as use economies of scale and effective utilization of its resources.

Therefore, redesigning its products to eliminate those features that might have market appeal, but would excessively increase production costs is wrong as this will only lead to increase in cost.

Answer:

If the total number of days per year is 1,419 or less, then the company should obtain the services from the city. But if the total number of days per year is 1,420 or more, then the company should purchase the equipment.

Explanation:

alternative 1:

initial outlay = $125,000

useful life 8 years

depreciation per year = ($125,000 - $5,000) / 8 = $15,000

costs:

$40 per day

maintenance $2,000 per year

total annual costs = $40x + $2,000

alternative 2:

$125 x 45 sites = $5,625

$20x

total annual costs = $5,625 + $20x

how large does x need to be in order for alternative 1 to be better using a 12% discount rate

cash flows

year 0 = ($125,000)

year 1 = $40x + $2,000 - $5,625 - $20x = $20x - $3,625  

year 2 = $20x - $3,625

year 3 = $20x - $3,625

year 4 = $20x - $3,625

year 5 = $20x - $3,625

year 6 = $20x - $3,625

year 7 = $20x - $3,625

year 8 = $20x - $3,625 + $5,000 = $20x + $1,375

I used the present value of an annuity formula, to determine the value of cash flow:

the PV annuity factor for 12% and 7 periods is 4.5638, so:

24,756.20 x 4.5638 = $112,982

$29,756.20 / (1.12⁸) = $12,018

total = $125,000

$20x - $3,625 = 24,756.20

$20x = $28,381.20

x = $28,381.20 / $20 = 1,419.06 days (including all 45 sites)

That means that if the total number of days per year is 1,419 or less, then the company should obtain the services from the city. But if the total number of days per year is 1,420 or more, then the company should purchase the equipment.

What is double jeopardy?<br> Explain how this vocabulary<br> word relates to the 5th<br> Amendment.
kykrilka [37]

Double jeopardy is a legal defense which, after a clear acquittal or conviction, does not preclude an accused person from being charged on the same charge again.

Explanation:

The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution states that "no one is twice liable to be targeted at the same offense." The Double-jeopardy Clause bars any second prosecution or conviction and forbids multiple penalties of the same offense.

Double jeopardy does not shield suspects from being charged for multiple offenses, while separate charges are prohibited for the same crime.

For example,  An convicted person could again be charged on the "less included crime" of involuntary killing.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": cost of debt.

Explanation:

The cost of debt is the interest a company pays on its borrowings. It is expressed as a percentage rate. Also, the cost of debt can be calculated as a before-tax rate or an after-tax rate. Before interest is deductible for income taxes, the cost of debt is usually expressed as an after-tax rate.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Th answer is: Marginal tax rate for Family A is 20%, average tax rate is 12%. There is no Family B in the question.

Explanation:

Family A's tax rate are as follows:

Income                             Tax rate

up to $10,000                       0%

$10,000 to $30,000           10%  

$30,000 to $50,000          20%

$50,000 to $80,000          30%

over $80,000                      40%

Since Family A's income is $50,000, their marginal tax rate is 20%, and its average tax rate is = [($20,000 x 10%) + ($20,000 x 20%) / $50,000] = ($2,000 + $4,000) / $50,000 = $6,000 / $50,000 = 12%
