Answer:
The optimal production plan gives a total costs of $417,672 for the periods Feb to May
In Feb we will have to hire 26 workers to close the gap between demand and production from our 100 existing workers
In March however, we will have to lay them off (26 workers) to keep our production in line with demand.
In April, we are constrained to 100 workers, thus requiring that we run overtime. The overtime requirement is between 3,060 hours to max of 5,000 hours. Note that inspire of the hours chosen, demand for April still won't be fulfilled.
The best option will be the one that gives us last backlog because of the costs of backorder being extremely costly.
5,000 overtime hours in April is the best option .
In May, we are constrained to our 100 workers, meaning we will fulfill our back orders and also retain inventory in hand of 7,760 units.
The 3 pages attached show how the cost is worked out and the presentation as well.
Answer:
First National Bank = 14.6%
First United Bank.= = 14.8%
Explanation:
<em>Effective annual rate is the equivalent annual rate o where interest rate is compounded at an interval shorter than a year.</em>
It can be calculated as follows:
EAR = ( (1+r)^(n) -1) × 100
r -interest rate per period
n- number of period
EAR - Effective annual rate
First National Bank
r - interest rate per month = 13.7%/12 = 1.141%
number of period = 12 months
EAR =( (1+011141)^(12) - 1) × 100
= 0.145938395 × 100
= 14.59
= 14.6%
First United Bank.
r- interest rate per quarter - 14%/4 = 3.5% per quarter
n- number of quarters = 4
EAR = ((1+0.035)^(4)- 1) × 100
= 0.147523001 × 100
= 14.8%
Answer: Area preference.
Explanation:
According to the question although the initial value of both Allen and Lewis property were similar, the siting of Lewis' condo makes it more valuable than Allen's, because it is closer to the city center. Therefore the economic characteristic at play in the question is that of area of preference, that's what separate the value of both properties.
