Answer:
They should operate Mine 1 for 1 hour and Mine 2 for 3 hours to meet the contractual obligations and minimize cost.
Explanation:
The formulation of the linear programming is:
Objective function:
Restrictions:
- High-grade ore: 
- Medium-grade ore: 
- Low-grade ore: 
- No negative hours: 
We start graphing the restrictions in a M1-M2 plane.
In the figure attached, we have the feasible region, where all the restrictions are validated, and the four points of intersection of 2 restrictions.
In one of this four points lies the minimum cost.
Graphically, we can graph the cost function over this feasible region, with different cost levels. When the line cost intersects one of the four points with the lowest level of cost, this is the optimum combination.
(NOTE: it is best to start with a low guessing of the cost and going up until it reaches one point in the feasible region).
The solution is for the point (M1=1, M2=3), with a cost of C=$680.
The cost function graph is attached.
Answer:
$36.8 million
Explanation:
The computation of the free cash flow is shown below:
= EBIT × (1 -Tax Rate) + Depreciation & Amortization - Change in Net Working Capital - net capital Expenditure.
= $56 million × ( 1 - 0.30) + $5.6 million - $2.7 million - $5.3 million
= $39.20 million + $5.6 million - $2.7 million - $5.3 million
= $36.8 million
All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
Answer:
1. d. $825
2. b. $750
3. c. $795
Explanation:
1. Transfer price under the resale price method
Acceptable price under resale method = Selling price of Subsidiary - Profit%
= $1,100 - 25%*$1,100
= $1,100 - $275
= $825
2. Transfer price under the cost-plus method
Cost plus method = Cost+Markup
= $500 + $500*50%
= $500 + $250
= $750
3. Transfer price under the comparable profits method
Comparable profits method = Selling price - Profit - Other costs
= $1,100 - $1,100*5% - $250
= $1,100 - $55 - $250
= $795
It is not possible to tell what happened to the CPI because other than for housing , we do not know what happened to the prices of any of the other goods.
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
Rent is an expense to the business. An increase in expenses is debited.
rent was paid by cheque. The transaction will reduce money held at the bank( asset) by Rs. 25,000. A reduction in assets is credited.
The journal entry will be
Rent A/c Dr. Rs. 25,000
Bank A/c Cr. Rs. 25,000
