Answer:

The smallest value of x is 5 which leads to a safe state.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Process Available Maximum Request = Max-Available

A         [2 ,1 ,0 ,2, 2] [4, 2,2, 3, 3]          [2,1,2,1,1]

B         [3 ,1, 1, 0 ,2] [3 ,3 ,6 ,1 ,2]          [0,2,5,1,0]

C         [2 ,1 ,0 ,2 ,1 ] [3 ,2 ,3 ,3 ,1]          [1,1,3,1,0]

D         [1, 1, 0, 1, 0 ] [1, 2, 3, 2 ,1 ]          [0,1,3,1,1]

Available = 3,2,x,2,3 ⇒ x has to be determined.

Now

consider x=1 then Available = 3,2,1,2,3

It can't satisfy A,B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 2

Consider x=2 then Available = 3,2,2,2,3

It can't satisfy B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 3

Thus

consider x=3 then Available = 3,2,3,2,3

It can't satisfy D since the minimum value of x among those is 5

Then

consider x=5 then Available = 3,2,5,2,3

It can satisfy A,B,C,D

Therefore, the minimum value of x is 5. So, that it leads to a safe state.

Blazer Sports Store is preparing to pay its quarterly dividend of $7.75 a share this quarter. The stock closed at $105.64 a shar
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

$99.3625

Explanation:

The computation of ex-dividend stock price is shown below:-

Ex-dividend stock price = Stock closing price - Stock dividend × (1 - tax rate)

= $105.64 - $7.75 × (1 - 19%)

= $105.64 - $7.75 × 0.81

= $105.64 - 6.2775

= $99.3625

Therefore for computing the ex-dividend stock price we simply applied the above formula.

Spencer Enterprises is attempting to choose among a series of new investment alternatives. The potential investment alternatives
fomenos

Answer:

Assume: only one of the ware house expansion projects can be implemented and suppose that, if test marketing of the new product is carried out, the advertising campaign also must be conducted and vice versa. Also suppose that the purchase of new equipment cannot be undertaken unless the basic research or the extensive warehouse expansion are implemented.

Formulate the corresponding model for maximizing the net present value subject to the restrictions stated above

Yi (1 if investment alternative is selected, o otherwise)

i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Max Z = $4,000y1 + 6,000y2 + 10,500y3 + 4,000y4 + 8,000y5 + 3,000y6

∴ NPV = 17,500

Christopher likes cupcakes (C) and muffins (M). His preferences can be represented by the utility function U(C, M) = C0.5M0.5. H
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

16 cupcakes

Explanation:

U(C, M) = C⁰°⁵ x M⁰°⁵ = √C x √M

total utility obtained by eating 16 cupcakes and 4 muffins = √16 x √4 = 4 + 2 = 6

since the bakery is out of muffins, then utility function = √C x √2 = √C x 1.4142

√C x 1.4142 = 6

√C = 6 / 1.4142 = 4.2426

C = 4.2426² = 18

since there were 2 cupcakes left, Christopher must purchase 18 - 2 = 16 cupcakes

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

$9,500

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.  

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow. Depreciation and other non-cash expenses deducted in the income statements are added back while the non-cash income such gain on asset are deducted from net income.

Yowell's net cash flow from operating activities

= $44,000 - $10,500 - $24,000

= $9,500

Other transactions will be stated in the investing and financing sections of the cash flow statements
