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.

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

Sergio039 [100]

Answer and Explanation:

A. Toothpaste brand: Toothpaste is a commonly used, inexpensive, and very popular product. These decisions are governed mainly by the reference group such as family , friends or primary group with whom a student has regular face to face experiences. Hence the purchase decision is affected by a low degree of comparison community.

B. Buying a hybrid car: A hybrid car is sometimes described as expensive and luxury products. It's moreover a non-necessity commodity for a college student. These decisions are therefore usually affected by secondary community. And a high degree of control in the comparison community will only inspire a student to buy a car.

C. Buying cereal for breakfast: This is a simple requirement of a lifetime. Therefore, even without consulting any reference group a student can buy such product. Often such transactions are rules by family group control. So it needs a low degree of control.

D. Becoming a vegetarian: It takes a high degree of influence and motivation to become a vegetarian.

Thus the aspirational group influences a student. So they opt for vegetarianism to become part of such a community. Such decision taking involves a high degree of control.

E. Option of a computer tablet like the iPod: these products are a luxury commodity sold at regular prices. Typically refer to their families , friends, magazines before making a purchase student to get an idea about the output and price of these products. These goods are the weak product with a strong brand and a strong purchase is controlled by a strong reference community impact.

A company has two divisions and evaluates management using return on investment. Division 1 currently makes a part that it sells
Anton [14]

Answer:

c. Division 1 should continue to do business with Division 2 because Division 1's variable cost per part is only $18.

Explanation:

Since the variable cost per part is only $18 and Division 1  sells to Division 2 at $25, it is in the company's overall interest that business should continue between the two divisions.

The cost of getting the part from outside is $26.  This will incur more cost to the company and create excess capacity for Division 1.

Fixed costs are not relevant in making a decision of this nature.  The costs would be incurred irrespective of the decision made.  They are therefore irrelevant.  The relevant cost is the variable cost of $18 per unit.  It should be the focus of the decision, including the possibility of excess capacity for Division 1.

eimsori [14]

Answer: 260000

Explanation:

The controllable margin for the year will be calculated thus:

Contribution margin = 440000

Less: Controllable Fixed Costs = 180000

Controllable margin will now be:

= 440,000 - 180,000

= 260,000

Therefore, the controllable margin will be 260000
