Answer: Business case
Explanation: In other to eliminate the dilemma posed by having to allocate resources particularly in those which are not readily available in abundance or having to choose between two or more different options, tasks or projects, managers are often faced with a decision dilemma which are is usually analysed by making a business case in other to identify the modalities attached with each project or task on the basis of risk, benefit attached, cost, timing of such projects and so on. This will enable managers to arrive at a reasonable justification to choose an option over the other which will yield a longterm return or benefit to the organization.
1. London UnderGround is a public rapid transit<span> system that connects various cities in England.
London Underground is the first underground railway that ever created in the world and predicted to carry approximately more than 1.3 Billion Passengeeach year.
2. The original problem was that there's too much traffic on the street of London during that time., which reduce people's overall productivity because they have to spend a large amount of their time stuck on the road. Even until this day, this problem is not 100% resolved.
3. The major difference would be the transportation vehicle and the number of lines.
Initially, London underground was a pedestrian tunnel with only one line. In current time, London underground is a train transportation system with 13 lines that connect various cities.
4. Cross rail is the latest line that created in London Underground, which opened up a new route Between </span><span> Maidenhead and Heathrow.
</span><span>This line is about 118 Kilometers in length and is planned to be ready to use by December 9th 2018
5. TBM stands for </span>tunnel boring machines<span> .
</span>tunnel boring machines are the equipment that is used to excavate tunnels through soil and rocks. Compared to other method, tunnel boring machines provide less disturbance, smoother tunnel wall, and less chance to destroy the foundation on the upper ground.
<span>
6. Eye of the needle refers to the </span><span> very crowded space that the Tunnel Boring much get through in order to create the Tunnel.
</span><span>This particular region tend to be realy hard to handle because small mistakes could make the tunnel walls to crumble and cause many harms to the workers underneath it.
7. I believe the biggest challenge would be grathering necessary budget.
the investment in creating underground tunnel, commonly only produce return of investmant in around 10-15 Years.
So, finding the orgaizations who are willing to take this risk is extremely difficult.
8. They allocate the engineers to both the bottom and upper ground at the same time.
The botto team is responsible in creating the tunnel, the upper team is responsible in identifying several characteristics such as Crack on the ground or hollow space.</span>
Answer:
Adobe System
0.3077 ± 0.001
Dow Chemical
0.3462 ± 0.001
Office Depot
0.3462 ± 0.001
Explanation:
Calculation for the portfolio weights of each stock
First step is to calculate the Total portfolio
Total portfolio = $8,000 + $9,000 + $9,000
Total portfolio == $26,000
Last step is to calculate the portfolio weights of each stock
Adobe System weight = $8,000 / $26,000
Adobe System weight = 0.3077
Dow Chemical weight = $9,000 / $26,000
Dow Chemical weight = 0.3462
Office Depot weight = $9,000 / $26,000
Office Depot weight= 0.3462
Therefore the portfolio weights of each stock will be :
Adobe System
0.3077 ± 0.001
Dow Chemical
0.3462 ± 0.001
Office Depot
0.3462 ± 0.001
Answer:
PV= $40,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Perpetuity of $6,000 per year beginning one year from today is said to offer a 15% interest rate.
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:
PV= Cf/i
Cf= cash flow
i= interest rate
PV= 6,000/0.15
PV= $40,000
Answer:
(-$1,250) over applied for the period
Explanation:
Predetermined overhead rate:
= budgeted overhead ÷ budgeted volume
= $465,500 ÷ 49,000
= $9.5
Overhead cost with 43,500 hours incurred, they have applied
:
= Actual machine-hours × Predetermined overhead rate
= 43,500 × 9.5
= $413,250
They actually incurred $412,000 of overhead cost for the period so they have
:
= Actual overhead - Overhead cost with 43,500 hours
= $412,000 - $413,250
= (-$1,250) over applied for the period.
