Answer:
The correct answer is E.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $276,000 to $544,500 and would decrease the current variable costs of $60 by $15 per unit. The selling price of $100 is not expected to change.
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 544,500/ [(100-45)/100]
Break-even point (dollars)= $990,000
Before going to the cost and benefits, lets take a look first at the total of what Tim makes for the two jobs. In the first job, he is paid $7 per hour for 3 hours so that is $21 total for the first job. The second job offer is $10 per hour for two hours so that is $20 for the entire second job offer. If he is going to take the first job, he will have $1 more than the second job, however, he has to work an extra hour. However, if he takes the second job, he receives $1 less but has one hour more for himself. So if he were to take the second job, it will be more beneficial to him because he can get almost the same amount but doesn't need to work as hard
Answer
D) compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be approx 30% lower.
Explanation
EOQ = √(2*Co*D/Cc)
EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/(Cc*(1-x)))
x=D/P
D = demand rate
P =production rate
Co=ordering cost
Cc=holding cost
1) The production rate would be about double the usage rate.
hence, P = 2D
x=D/2D=0.5
EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/((1-0.5)*Cc))
EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/0.5Cc)
EPQ=√ (1/0.5)*EOQ
EPQ=√ (2)*EOQ
EPQ=1.41*EOQ
Hence, EPQ is around 40% larger than EOQ.
Ans.: c) EPQ will be approximately 40% larger than the EOQ.
2) Compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be
maximum inventory = Q
EPQ = 1.41 EOQ
EPQ = 1.41*Q
Q=EPQ/1.41
Q=0.71 EPQ
Hence, compared to EOQ, maximum inventory in EPQ is only 70% of that in EOQ model.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the expected return and the standard deviation is given below:
the expected return is
= $90,000 × 13% + $60,000 × 6.6%
= $15,660.00
And,
standard deviation of return is
= $90,000 × 13% × 44% + $60,000 × 6.6%
= $5,148 + $3,960
= $9,108.00
In this way it should be calculated
Answer: The market demand curve for soft drinks will shift to the left and the market supply curve will shift to the left as well: equilibrium quantity will decrease and the equilibrium price may rise, fall, or remain the same. The graphs below illustrate this idea.
