A company manufactures a product using machine cells. Each cell has a design capacity of 250 units per day and an effective capa

city of 230 units per day. At present, actual output averages 200 units per cell, but the manager estimates that productivity improvements soon will increase output to 223 units per day. Annual demand is currently 60,000 units. It is forecasted that within two years, annual demand will triple. How many cells should the company plan to acquire to satisfy predicted demand under these conditions? Assume that no cells currently exist. Assume 236 workdays per year

Answer:

The company should  plan to acquire to satisfy predicted demand under these conditions is 4 cells

Explanation:

The computation of the cells is shown below:

= (Two years annual demand ÷ output)

where,

Two years annual demand = annual demand × triple

                                             = 60,000 units × 3

                                             = 180,000 units

And, the output equals to

= Increase output × number of workdays per year

= 223 units × 236 workdays

= 52,628

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= 180,000 ÷ 52,628

= 3.42 approx

Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $1.59 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $1.25, $1.33, $1
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The dividend growth rate is given as D2/D1 - 1

Year            Dividend                        Growth rate

1                    $1.25                            

2                   $1.33                       ($1.33/ $1.25 - 1) 6.4%

3                   $1.4                          ($1.4/$1.33 - 1) 5.26%

4                   $1.51                         ($1.51/$1.4 -1)  7.86%  

       

The arithmetic average growth rate is the average of all the growth rates.

Arithmetic average growth rate = (6.4% + 5.26% + 7.86%) / 3 = 6.51%

The cost of annuity = (cost of common stock / Selling stock price) * 100% + Average growth rate

The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.51% = 10.49%

b) The geometric growth rate is given as:

geometric average growth rate =

(\frac{D_n}{D_o} )^{\frac{1}{n} }-1\\D_n=1.51,D_o=1.25,n=3\\\\Geometric\ growth\ rate=\frac{1.51}{1.25}^{1/3}-1=6.5\%

The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.5% = 10.48%

Determine if the people in the example have benefited (i.e., are winners) or have been harmed (i.e., are losers) by unexpected i
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Winners

  • 3rd National, a bank that loaned many people money for home purchases.

Losers

  • Karen, a retired school teacher that relies upon her fixed pension to pay for her expenses.
  • Herb, who keeps his savings in an old coffee can.
  • Joy, who has borrowed $40,000 to pay her college education.
  • The US federal government which had almost $15 trillion in debt in 2011.

Explanation:

When unexpected inflation occurs, the usual plan to by Monetary Institutions of a country is raising the interest rates.

By doing that, they want to stop it or slowly decelerate it.

So that it becomes more expensive to take a loan, the idea is to reduce consumption.

In Economics, it's a bad scenario after all. Few winners. Many losers.

So, let's examine them

Winners

  • 3rd National, a bank that loaned many people money for home purchases.

At first, The 3rd National is going to be winning since the value of the debt will rise, depending on the type of contract and an increase in the interest rate will demand corrections on the monthly payments. But on the other hand, the number of default clients and overdue installments will raise for sure.

Losers

  • Karen, a retired school teacher that relies upon her fixed pension to pay for her expenses.

Inflation reduces the real buying value of her checks. And her pension can't grow otherwise this will feed the inflation too.

  • Herb, who keeps his savings in an old coffee can.

Since his money is not invested then He's not having any earning that might give him some compensation. So his money is even more devalued.

  • Joy, who has borrowed $40,000 to pay her college education.

Depending on the contract Joy might be sleepless. Either her monthly payments will become more expensive or She may experience difficulties because of the weekly growing prices.

  • The US federal government had almost $15 trillion in debt in 2011.

Certainly, the president and his secretary will have to address the fact that due to inflation and the chosen medicine make the nation's debt up to the sky. They must renegotiate the payment deadlines.
