Answer:

111 pounds

Explanation:

The number of pounds Cynthia should order each day can be calculated as follows

Calculation

Standard deviation = 20

Mean = 100

Cost of actual utilization = 8-3 = 5

Cost of Under utilization = 4-2 = 2

Probability of sale = Co/(Cu+Co)

Probability of sale = 5/(5+2)

Probability of sale =0.714

Z score at above probability = z = 0.57

hence cynthia should order= mean+z*standard deviation

Order = 100+0.57*20

Order = 111.4 or 111 pounds

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

D)the research and development costs to produce the current winter footwear samples.

Explanation:

Research and development costs associated with the current winter footwear samples will not impact the performance of the proposed new line.

When analyzing the viability of the new product line up, the company should only consider the projected expenses and revenues arising from the project. A project is viable if its benefits outweigh its shortcomings. One way of establishing viability is by doing a cost-benefit analysis.

For the Shoe Box company, the new project line may have some effects on the sales of current products. The new projects will demand new counters. The company must also consider expected revenues and taxes. All these have elements of cost and benefits directly associated with the proposed product line.

offers a 6.3 percent bond with a current market price of $767.50. The yield to maturity is 8.49 percent. The face value is $1,00
musickatia [10]

Answer:

9.25 years

Explanation:

Price of the bond is the present value of all cash flows of the bond. These cash flows include the coupon payment and the maturity payment of the bond. Price of the bond is calculated by following formula:

According to given data

Assuming the Face value of the bond is $1,000

Coupon payment = C = $1,000 x 6.3 = $63 annually = $31.5 semiannually

Current Yield = r = 8.49% / 2  = 4.245% semiannually

Market value = $767.50

Market Value of the Bond = $31.5 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 4.425% )^-n ) / 4.425% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 4.425% )^n ]

Market Value of the Bond = $31.5 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 4.425% )^-n ) / 4.425% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 4.425% )^n ]

n = 18.53 / 2

n = 9.25 years

Estimate the cost of expanding a planned new clinic by 25,000 ft2. The appropriate capacity exponent is 0.62, and the budget est
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

cost of expansion  = $1389859.55

Explanation:

Given data:

Original size = 185,000 ft^2

New expansion = 25000 ft^2

capacity component  = 0.62

total cost for original size of clinic is = $17 million

Size of new clinic = 185,000 + 25,000 = 210,000 ft^2

cost of new clinic=  17,000,000 \times [\frac{size\ of\ new\ clinic}{185,000}]^{0.62}

cost of new clinic =17,000,000 \times [\frac{210,000}{185,000}]^{0.62}

cost of new clinic = $18,389,859.56

cost of expansion = cost of 210,000 ft^2  -  cost of 185,000 ft^2

                               = 18,389,859.56- 17,000,000

cost of expansion  = $1389859.55

Klingon Widgets, Inc., purchased new cloaking machinery four years ago for $8 million. The machinery can be sold to the Romulans
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Net working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities

$219,000 = Current assets - $760,000

Current assets = $219,000 + $760,000

Current assets = $979,000

1. Total assets = Current assets + Net fixed assets

Total assets = $979,000 + $6,000,000

Total assets = $6,979,000

So, the book value of Klingonâs total assets today is $6,979,000.

2.  Sum of net working capital and the market value of fixed assets:

= Market value of current assets + Market value of fixed assets

= $1,010,000 + $7,300,000

= $8,310,000
