An activity on a project schedule has these duration estimates: optimistic (a) = 1, most likely (m) = 2, and pessimistic (b) = 5

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Activity expected duration = 2.333

Explanation:

Given:

Optimistic (a) = 1

Most likely (m) = 2

Pessimistic (b) = 5

Activity’s expected duration = ?

Computation of Activity expected duration:

$Activity\ expected\ duration = \frac{(a + 4m + b)}{6}$

Activity expected duration = [1 + 4(2) + 5] / 6

Activity expected duration = [1 + 8 + 5] / 6

Activity expected duration = [14] / 6

Activity expected duration = 2.333

Regina Henry deposited $20,000 in a money market certificates that provides interest of 10% compound and quarterly if the amount

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Regina: Final amount=$62,769

Will Smith: Present value: $213,216

Explanation:

Regina:

Compound quarterly means that each quarter of the year ( every three months) she will receive a 10% interest rate of her deposit. To convert this periodic rate to an annual rate( because the problem ask you about years) you use this formula :

Annual rate= ((1+Periodic rate)^(# periods))-1

In this case the number of periods means the number of quarters a year have, which is 4

Annual rate= ((1+10%)^(4))-1= 46.41%

To find the final amount Regina has after 3 year we use this formula:

Final Capital (FC)= Initial Capital (IC)*[(1+interest(i))]^(number of periods(n))

FC= $20,000*[(1+46.41%)^3]

FC=$62,769 I attached an excel figure which shows a more detailed data.

Will Smith

Semiannually means that every 6 months Will Smith will receive a 12% interest rate of the initial investment. To convert this periodic rate to an annual rate you use the same above formula:

Annual rate= ((1+Periodic rate)^(# periods))-1

In each year Will will receive twice the interest rate over the initial investment

Annual rate = ((1+12%)^(2))-1

Annual rate= 25.44%

The present value of $80,000 from now to 5 years is calculated using the formula attached, but I used Excel. First you have to copy all the cash flows of the 5 years. Then, you set the interest rate that in this case is the one that you found above( 25.44%). Finally you use the financial formula "NPV" in this way:

"=NPV(25.44%;C4:C8)" I used C4:C8 because in those excel cells i copied the cash flows.

I got that the present value of this amount is $213,216

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

<u>Physical flow schedule</u>

Inputs

Beginning Work in Process 86,300

Add Units Started 105,900

Total 192,200

Outputs

Units Completed and Transferred 172,900

Units in Ending Work in Process 19,300

Total 192,200

Explanation:

A physical flow schedule is simply a schedule of units introduced into the process and units outputs without expressing them to equivalent units.

Units Introduced must always be equal to units outputs in physicals terms.

<em>Units Completed and Transferred = Beginning Inventory + Units Started - Units in Ending Work in Process</em>

= 86,300 + 105,900 - 19,300

= 172,900
