Answer: A. interest rates have risen
Explanation:
Since the customer buys a Brokered CD for $100,000 and upon eceipt of his next account statement, he sees that there has been a reduction in the market value of the CD to $99,800.
This would occur because there has been an increase in the interest rates. On the other hand, assuming there was a reduction in the interest rate, this will lead to an increase in the market value.
I think the answer is A
Hope this helps have a great night!
<span>Profit needs to be maximized.
Profit = 30x+45y where x and y are respectively the number of model A and model B fax machines manufactured.
Objective function:
max(30x+45y)
Constraints:
x≥0 ---------------(1)
y≥0 ---------------(2)
x+y ≤ 2500 since the demand is capped at 2500 -----------(3)
100x+150y≤600000 since manufacturing costs cannot exceed $600000-----(4)
Solve the following two equations to identify where the two boundary lines (3) and (4) intersect.
x+y=2500-----(3)
100x+150y=600000---(4)
Multiplying (3) by 100
100x+100y=250000----(5)
(5)-(4)
50y=350000
y=7000
x=-4500
since the constraint states that x≥0, only three vertices are considered viz (0,0), (0,2500),(2500,0).
applying the profit function at each of the three vertices:
(0,0) ----- 30(0)+45(0) = 0
(0,2500) ---- 30(0)+45(2500)=112500
(2500,0) ---- 30(2500)+45(0)=75000
Hence by applying the max function, x=0, y=2500.
i.e. Dont produce any 'a' model machine. Manufacture 2500 units of model 'b' to maximise profit</span>
Answer:
E) brainstorming.
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that in this situation Zach is using the technique of brainstorming. This term refers to a group creativity technique in which members of the organization come together and spontaneously contribute any and all ideas they may have towards solving a specific problem that the organization is facing.
Answer:
a. Break Even points in past year 8,750 units
b. Break Even point in coming year 10,000 units
Explanation:
The breakeven sales in units is calculated by dividing the fixed costs by the contribution margin of each unit of sales.
The selling price is $ 40 and the variable costs per unit are $ 32 so the contribution margin per unit is $ 8.
For past year
To cover the fixed costs of $ 70,000 the breakeven point is calculated as:
$ 70000/ $ 8 = 8.750 units.
For coming year
The fixed costs are increasing by the property taxes increase of $ 10,000 so the fixed costs are $ 80,000
Break even point is calculated as $ 80,000/$8 = 10,000 units.
