Answer:
Purchases= 408,000 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production:
2nd Q= 99,000 units
3rd= 109,000 units
Four pounds of material A are required for each unit produced.
Desired ending inventory= 30% of the next quarter's production
<u>To calculate the purchases for the second quarter, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= (99,000*4) + (109,000*4)*0.3 - (99,000*4)*0.3
Purchases= 396,000 + 130,800 - 118,800
Purchases= 408,000 pounds
Answer:
Bounded Rationality
Explanation:
To begin with, it is essential to understand the concept of departmentalization.
Departmentalization centers on the idea that departments/divisions within an organization are grouped and/or sectioned, using some identified benchmarks. In extension, Departmentalizing, is simply the acts of engaging in departmentalization.
Bounded rationality, is a phenomenon that states that human reasoning and extension, logic could be threatened by a number of constraints. The constraints here could be human, material and physical resources. The implication is that an individual is not in possession of full details and information that could influence or shape his position.
Hence, by departmentalizing, an organization has placed a constraint on the amount of information accessible to that department, under the bigger context of an organization. Thus, the departments' rationality has been bounded and this could ultimately spiral into poor decision making, principally because of lack of detailed information.
Answer:
a) Operating income - $33,800
Explanation:
<em>The flexible budget would be prepared for a different activity level of 6,300 production units but using the assumptions of the fixed budget</em>
$
Sales revenue - ($7× 6,300 units ) : 44,100.00
Less Variable cost - ($1 × 6,300 units ) : <u>( 6,300)</u>
Contribution 37,800
Less Fixed costs <u>(4,000)</u>
<u>33,800</u>
<em>Note that the fixed costs of $4000 remains the same for both the static and flexible budgets. This is because the activity level of 6,300 units of the flexible budget remains within relevant range. So the fixed cost would not change.</em>
The cost of underestimating the demand is considered a revenue loss that arises due to cancellation of flight costing $134. Hence, cost of underetimating the demand is
.
The cost of overestimating the demand is known as rewards. For example, free round trip ticket worth $263. Hence, the cost of overestimating the demand is
.
The z-score that yields a p-value of 0.3375 is -0.4193.
Thus, super discount airlines should overbook the flight by 35 + (-0.4193 x 24) = 35 - 10.0632 = 24.9368 = 25 seats.
Therefore, super discount airlines should overbook the flight by 25 seats.
