A financial services firm routinely processes a large volume of account change requests. A Lean Six Sigma team wants to understa

nd the resources required to maintain a maximum target cycle time of 16 hours. When demand fluctuates, personnel can be reassigned temporarily to increase the rate of processing. If the normal processing rate is 2 per minute, what should the maximum items in process (queue) before reassigning resources?A) 16B) 32C) 120D) 960E) 1920

Answer:

E) 1920

Explanation:

The computation of  the maximum items in process is shown below:

=  Number of maximum target cycle time ×  normal processing rate per minute × number of minutes in one hour

= 16 hours × 2 × 60 minutes

= 1,920

Simple we multiply the all items which are given in the question, so that the accurate value can come i.e maximum target cycle time, normal processing rate per minute and the number of minutes in one hour

Two investment opportunities are as follows:________. Alt A Alt B First Cost 200 100 Uniform annual benefit 32 27 End of useful
Talja [164]

Answer:

Since the 4.34 NPV of Alt A is greater than the 2.35 NPV of Alt B, it therefore implies that Alt A should be selected.

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question as follows:

                                                          Alt A              Alt B

First Cost                                           200                 100

Uniform annual benefit                       32                   27

End of useful life salvage value         20                    0

Useful life, in years                              10                     5

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

a. Calculation of NPV of Alt A

First Cost = 200

PV of uniform annual benefit = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) ……………………. (2)

Where;

P = uniform annual benefit = 32

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 10

Note: The formula for calculating the present value of ordinary annuity is being used here to calculate the Present Value (PV) of uniform annual benefit.

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV of uniform annual benefit = 32 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^10) / 0.10) = 32 * 6.14456710570468 = 196.63

PV of Salvage value = FV / (1 + r)^n ..................... (2)

Where;

FV = End of useful life salvage value = 20

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 10

Note: The normal formula for calculating the present value (PV) is being used here to calculate the PV of Salvage value

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PV of Salvage value = 20 / (1 + 0.10)^10 = 20 / 2.5937424601 = 7.71

Net present value (NPV) of Alt .A = PV of uniform annual benefit + PV of Salvage value - First cost = 196.63 + 7.71 - 200 = 4.34

b. Calculation of NPV of Alt B

First Cost = 100

PV of uniform annual benefit = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) ……………………. (3)

Where;

P = uniform annual benefit = 27

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 5

Note: The formula for calculating the present value of ordinary annuity is also being used here to calculate the Present Value (PV) of uniform annual benefit.

Substitute the values into equation (3) to have:

PV of uniform annual benefit = 27 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^5) / 0.10) = 27 * 3.79078676940845 = 102.35

NPV of Alt B = PV of uniform annual benefit - First cost = 102.35 – 100 = 2.35

c. Decision

Since the 4.34 NPV of Alt A is greater than the 2.35 NPV of Alt B, it therefore implies that Alt A should be selected.

g Oriole Company had actual sales of $1100000 when break-even sales were $660000. What is the margin of safety ratio? 67% 40% 33
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

40%

Explanation:

Oriole company has an actual sales of $1,100,000

The break even sales is $660,000

Therefore, the margin of safety can be calculated as follows

= Actual sales-break-even sales/actual sales

= $1,100,000-$660,000/$1,100,000

= $440,000/$1,100,000

= 0.4×100

= 40%

Hence the margin of safety is 40%

Capri Company began the current period with a $20,000 credit balance in the K. Capri, Capital account. At the end of the period,
Triss [41]

Answer:

1. $26,400

2. $34,400

Explanation:

The closing entry for the following accounts are shown below:

1. Service fees earned A/c Dr $70,000

  Interest revenue A/c Dr        $7,000

           To Income Summary             $ 77,000

(Being revenue account closed)

2. Income summary A/c Dr $50,600

          To Depreciation Expense $8,000

          To Salaries  Expense $38,000

         To Utilities Expense $4,600

(Being expenses accounts are closed)

3. Income summary A/c Dr $26,400    ($77,000 - $50,600)

     To  K. Capri, Capital A/c         $26,400

(Being the difference is credited to the capital account)

4. K.Capri capital $12,000    

        K.Capri withdrawals $12,000

(Being K.Capri withdrawals account is recorded)

Now the balance in the income summary is shown above i.e $26,400

And, the balance of the K. Capri, Capital account would be

= Credit balance + net income - withdrawals

= $20,000 + $26,400 - $12,000

= $34,400
