Six
sigma is a philosophy and set of methods companies use to eliminate defects in
their products and processes<span>.
It also seeks to reduce variation in the processes that
lead to product defects. It measures quality,
process for Continuous Improvement and enabler for culture
change so culturally six sigma means companies must learn how to be nearly
flawless in executing key processes and achieving business imperatives. Quantitatively six sigma means the average process generates no
more than 3.4 defects per million. Therefore, based on the figures given above
the defects per million opportunities (DPMO) is 15, 333 and the defective rate
us 1.533% and the passed rate is 98.467%.</span>
Answer:
C) $5,000
Explanation:
Since the price of the stocks first rose to $50, the account's equity was $50,000.
The SMA balance was = ($50,000 x 1/2) - $20,000 = $,5000
The SMA balance acts like a stabilizer and cannot be taken away even if the price of the stocks fall slightly. The price of stocks must fall 25% in order for the SMA to be withdrawn.
The investor's equity decreased = equity - margin requirement = $39,000 - $20,000 = $19,000, but the amount that the investor can borrow (SMA balance) will remain the same at $5,000.
Answer:
The computations are shown below:
Explanation:
a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:


= 229 units
The carrying cost is come from
= $2.40 × 20%
b. Time between placement of orders is
= Economic order quantity ÷Annual demand
= 229 ÷ 280
= 0.8179 years
So,
= 0.8179 × 365 days
= 298.53 days
We assume 365 days in a year
c. The average annual cost of ordering cost and carrying cost equals to
= Holding cost + ordering cost
= (Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × Holding cost) + (Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost)
= (229 units ÷ 2 × $0.48) + (280 ÷ 229 units × $45)
= $54.96 + $55.02
= $109.98
d)
Now the reorder level is
= Demand × lead time + safety stock
where, Demand equal to
= Expected demand ÷ total number of weeks in a year
= 280 pounds ÷ 52 weeks
= 5.38461
So, the reorder point would be
= 5.38461 × 3 + $0
= 16.15 pounds
Presto will record the acquisition cost of the equipment as $22,250 (21,500+430+320) which is the total cost for making the fixed asset ready for operation. The Generally accepted accounting principle requires a company to record all of the acquisition cost of a fixed asset. Thus, Presto company must capitalize all cost related to the fixed asset.
Answer:
d. Firm A will spend $4,000.
Explanation:
Since Firm B cost of Cleanup before it gets the the river is less than the cost of pollution permits, it will choose to clean up its pollution.
However, since Firm A cleanup cost per ton ($100) is greater than the cost of the pollution permit, it will choose to buy permits.
Maximum Allowable Number of Permits=40
Therefore, Firm A will clean up 10 Tons and dump 40 Tons of Waste.
Cost =(10 Tons *$100)+(40 Tons * $75)
=$(1000+3000)
=$4000.
Firm A will spend $4000.
