What is the maximum amount a firm should pay for a project that will return $15,000 annually for 5 years if the opportunity cost

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The firm should pay $46907.57 for the given project.

Explanation:

Given information:

Return = $15000 annually

Time = 5 years

Opportunity cost = 18%

The formula for payment is

$PV=R(\frac{1}{OC}-\frac{1}{OC(1+OC)^t})$

where, R is return, OC is opportunity cost, t is time in years.

Substitute R=15000, t=5 and OC=0.18 in the above formula.

$PV=15000(\frac{1}{0.18}-\frac{1}{0.18(1+0.18)^5})$

$PV=46907.5653141$

$PV\approx 46907.57$

Therefore the firm should pay $46907.57 for the given project.

"which technique is the best way the scrum master can ensure that the development team communicates effectively with the product

faltersainse [42]

I believe the answer is: Monitor communications between them and facilitate direct collaboration

In this case, Facilitating direct collaboration is usually being done by providing a clear and direct method of communication between product owner and the development team, so the development team could directly ask for opinion for every differentiation that they made in the product.

Gouda Company and Cheddar Company had the same sales, total costs, and income from operations for the current fiscal year; yet G

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

If both companies have the sames sales volume, total costs and income from operations, the reason why Gouda has a lower break even point is that their variable costs are lower. We use the contribution margin per unit to calculate the break even point and the contribution margin per unit = sales price - variable costs. The question states that total costs are equal, but it doesn't say anything about variable or fixed costs.

Assuming that Gouda is above break even point, each sale will generate a higher operating profit since the contribution margin is higher.

The bank is working to develop an efficient work schedule for full-time and part-time tellers. The schedule must provide for eff

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The solution is given below.

Explanation:

It is a practical, complex scheduling problem that can be easily modelled and solved as IP. Note that part time and full time employees are paid at different rates. So, it is important that the bank operates to provide required service level (indicated by the number of tellers per hour) while minimizing total cost due to staff salary.

We use x as full time and y as part time staff.

It would help if you construct a table as shown below to better analyze the problem before attempting to model it. Red shows work hrs of full time staff and green is for part timers. Just follow their work hour rules.

So, full timers have 3 options:

(i) start at 9 – work till 1pm, take 1 hr break, then work 2 – 5 pm

(ii) start at 10 – work till 2pm, take 1 hr break, then work 3 – 6 pm

(iii) start at 11 – work till 3pm, take 1 hr break, then work 4 – 7 pm

that’s all… bank closes at 7 pm.

However, part timers don’t have 1 hr break. They work straight 4 hrs and leave. See green cells above to understand their alternatives.

Now, decision variables should include this work hour information. Here goes their definition. You must clearly define decision variables in exam, otherwise, the model is meaningless.

X9 = number of full time staff who start at 9 and follow the hour-related rule (no need to specify more details; those are already undestood)

X10 = number of full time staff who start at 10 and follow the hour-related rule

X11 = number of full time staff who start at 11 and follow the hour-related rule

Y9 = number of part time staff who start at 9 and follow the hour-related rule

Y10 = number of part time staff who start at 10 and follow the hour-related rule

…. This way you define up to Y15.

You must also specify that:

Xi, Yi >=0, integers.

Objective Function:

Minimize Z = 105*(x9 + x10 + x11) + 32* (y9 + y10 + … + y 15)

You will need one “covering” constraint for each working hour. Both full and part-timers can “cover” the duty of each hour. Look at the color-coded table (above) column-wise. The 9:00-10:00 hour can be covered only by x9 and y9 staff; next hour by x9, x10, y9, y10 only,… and so on. So, the
