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>

NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) the leader presents ideas and invites questions.

Explanation:

Leadership continuum is a leadership style which describes the relationship with respect to the autonomy that a manager gives to his subordinates, and the level of authority used by him/ her. This is a inverse proportional relation which reduces the authority of the manager when team's freedom increases. It debases an autocratic rule by a manager, especially in taking decisions.

The example cited in the question is a way of taking decision by suggestions by expecting questions from his team.

Why is a high-quality bond typically considered a lower-risk investment than a stock?
Verdich [7]
<span> <span>In investment, the term risk can be defined as the possibility of the investor losing all or part of their capital in a given venture. High quality bonds are considered lower risk because the the investor is promised to receive face value after a certain period unlike stocks that do not carry the same promise. Returns on high quality bonds are also guaranteed in the form of fixed interest rates whereas in stocks, a company may pay dividends but this is not an obligation on their part. Lastly bonds are safer investment as they are less susceptible to abnormal price changes unlike stocks whose prices can easily swing in either direction.</span></span>

LO 4.5Why are the overhead costs first accumulated in the manufacturing overhead account instead of in the work in process inven
vivado [14]

Answer  Explanation:

For the manufacturing overhead occurs during the manufacturing process but unlike wages, the actual values are unknow thus, we cannot anticipate in a guarantee amount. Hence, the cost accounting works as follows:

It will stablish a predetermined overhead rate which will be charged against WIP based on another factor which can be measure (like working hours, machine hours, among others)

Then, during the period as the actual cost occurs they will be charged into manufacturing overhead account.

At the end of the period, we will be able to determinate the actual cost and adjust COGS, WIP and FINISHED GOOD if needed to represent the actual cost of the inventory produced.
