Slaq Computer Company manufactures notebook computers. The economic lifetime of a particular model is only four to six months, w

hich means that Slaq has very little time to make adjustments in production capacity and supplier contracts over the production run. For a soon-to-be-introduced notebook, Slaq must negotiate a contract with a supplier of motherboards. Because supplier capacity is tight, this contract will specify the number of motherboards in advance of the start of the production run. At the time of contract negotiation, Slaq has forecasted that demand for the new notebook is normally distributed with a mean (�) of 10,000 units and a standard deviation (�) of 2,500 units. The net profit from a notebook sale is $500 (note that this includes the cost of the motherboard, as well as all other material; production, and shipping costs). (Hint: �! = $500) Motherboards cost $200 and have no salvage value (i.e., if they are not used for this particular model of notebook, they will have to be written off). (Hint: �" = $200) Use the news vendor model to compute a purchase quantity of motherboards that balances the cost of lost sales and the cost of excess material.

Answer:

11414.87205 units.

Explanation:

We have Underage cost cs to be $500

We have Overage cost Co to be $200

To get Critical fractile, we do this computation:

Cs/(Cs+Co)

500/(500+200)

500/700

0.714285714

Now the z score for this value,

normsinv(0.714285714)

= 0.565948821

To get what the question requires: mean+z-score*standard deviation

= 10000+(0.565948821*2500)

= 11414.87205 units

<u>please </u><u>note:</u><u> </u><u>I solved this without rounding the values.</u>

<u>We will have 10000+(0.57*2500)=11425 units</u><u> </u><u>if</u><u> </u><u>rounded</u>

ryzh [129]

Answer:

Economic profit = -$25,000    option c

Opportunity cost = $175,000  option d

Accounting profit to allow for zero economic profit = $175,000 Option c

Explanation:

<em>Economic profit is the difference between revenue and implicit cost. Implicit cost is the sum of out-of-pocket accounting cost and opportunity cost.</em>

<em>opportunity csot is the value of the benefit sacrificed in favour of a decision.</em>

Economic profit = Accounting profit - opportunity cost

Opportunity cost for victor includes

1. The $100,000 per year which he would have earned had he invested the  money in a bond

2. The annual salary of $75000 he forfeited

Total opportunity cost = 100,000 + 75,000= $175,000

Economic profit = 150,000 -175,000 = -$25,000

To attain an economic profit of zero , the accounting profit ought to be the same at the opprotunity cost of $175,000

Economic profit = -$25,000    option c

Opportunity cost = $175,000  option d

Accounting profit to allow for zero economic profit = $175,000 Option c

shutvik [7]

Answer:

B. $15,556

Explanation:

As given in the question

Face value of bond = $400,000

Carrying value of bond = $388,900

Bond yielding rate = 4%

Interest revenue for the year = Carrying value of bond x Bond yielding rate

Interest revenue for the year = 388,900 x 4%

Interest revenue for the year = $15,556

The correct option is B. $15,556.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Total Contribution Margin= $50,388

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (3,400 units) $ 88,400

Variable expenses 43,316

We need to calculate the selling price and unitary variable cost:

Selling price= 88,400/3,400= $26

Unitary variable cost= 43,316/3,400= $12.74

Now, we can calculate the total contribution margin for 3,800 units.

Sales= 26*3,800= 98,800

Variable cost= 12.74*3,800= (48,412)

Contribution margin= 50,388
