Answer:

a) Process A is the bottleneck of the process

b) Hourly capacity = 60 / bottlenecktime = 60/25 = 2.4 units / hour

Explanation:

Part 1 is processed at A for 15 minutes and then at B for 10 minutes.

Thus part 1 take 15 + 10 i.e. 25 minutes two complete both processes

Part 2 is processed at C for 20 minutes.

Output from B and C i.e. part 1 and 2 respectively are fed to process D where the time taken to assemble is 15 minutes

Thus looking at the given data,

Part 1 takes longer time i.e. 25 minutes to reach process C compared to part 2 i.e. 20 minutes

So bottleneck occurs at process A and B because it takes maximum time i.e. 25 minutes

a) Process A is the bottleneck of the process

b) Hourly capacity = 60 / bottlenecktime = 60/25 = 2.4 units / hour

Which statement is not correct about the business-society interdependence?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

D. Actions by governments rarely significantly affect business

Explanation:

Business-socciety interdependence points out how business activities impact society and how society impacts business decisions. Government actions play a significant role in business performance. For example, an increase in interest rate increases the cost of borrowing and acts as an investment disncentive. Likewise, an increase in corporation tax stifles the incentive to invest and reduces corporate profit. Other government interventions such as standards and regulations, minumum wage legislations, permits and licenses would not only reduce business profits but could make doing business very cumbersome. Also, the extent to which the government is committed to maintaining political stability could determine the extent to which invesmtent thrives in an economy.

Paney Company makes and sells calendars. The information on the cost per unit is as follows: Direct materials $1.50 Direct labor
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Break-even point (dollars)= $80,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable costs:

Direct materials $1.50

Direct labor 1.20

Variable overhead 0.90

Variable marketing expense 0.40

Total variable costs= 4

Fixed costs:

The fixed marketing expense totaled $13,000

The fixed administrative expense totaled $35,000.

Total fixed costs= $48,000

The price per calendar is $10.

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 48,000/ [(10 - 4)/10]

Break-even point (dollars)= 48,000/0.6

Break-even point (dollars)= $80,000

a. Calculate NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback for each project

Dry Prepreg

NPV = $4,330

IRR = 19.86%

MIRR = 17.12%

payback = 3 years

discounted payback = 4.17 years

Solvent Prepreg

NPV = $6,130

IRR = 16.80%

MIRR = 15.51%

payback = 3.21 years

discounted payback = 4.58 years

b. Assuming the projects are independent, which one(s) would you recommend?

  • both projects, since their NPV is positive

c. If the projects are mutually exclusive, which would you recommend?

Dry prepreg becuase its IRR, MIRR are higher, and its payback and discounted payback periods are shorter.
