Answer:

B. Causes of variability

Explanation:

Inventory reduction via Just in time is a technique that aligns raw material orders from suppliers directly to production schedules. It helps in reducing inventory costs. It increases efficiency and reduces waste as goods are only received when the organization using JIT needs them for operations. In JIT, production period is short, warehouse need is minimize thus reducing costs. Also, it becomes of useful tool in identifying causes of variability. It reduces variability caused by both internal and external factors. Variability are normal deviation from the most efficient and optimum process.

Giving the following information:

Variable cost:

Direct material= $0.50 per unit

Fixed cost:

Fixed overhead= $15,000

Total cost for 10,000 units:

Variable cost= 0.50*10,000= 5,000

Fixed costs= 15,000

Total cost= $20,000

Total cost for 15,000 units:

Variable cost= 0.50*15,000= 7,500

Fixed costs= 15,000

Total cost= $22,500

1. The beta for Eastman Kodak is 1.10. The current six-month treasury bill rate is 3.25%. Estimate the cost of equity for Eastma

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

1) Cost of equity is 12.501%

2) Price of bond is $935.82

3) Price of semi-annual bond is $934.96

Explanation:

1) Given:

Beta = 1.1

Risk free rate (Rf) = 3.25%

Market risk premium (Rp) = 8.41%

Using CAPM to compute cost of equity:

Re = Rf + β (Rp)

= 3.25 + 1.1(8.41)

= 12.501%

2) Price of bond is present value of bond.

Face value (FV) = $1,000

Maturity (nper) = 10 years

Coupon rate = 8%

Coupon payment (PMT) = 0.08× 1000 = $80

Discount rate (rate) = 9% or 0.09

Using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

Price of bond is $935.82. It is negative as it's cash outflow

3) Price of semi-annual bond is present value of bond.

Face value (FV) = $1,000

Maturity (nper) = 10×2 = 20 periods

Coupon rate = 8% ÷ 2 = 4%

Coupon payment (PMT) = 0.04× 1000 = $40

Discount rate (rate) = 9% ÷ 2 = 4.5% or 0.045

Using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

Price of semi-annual bond is $934.96

Exxon's response to the 1989 Valdez tanker oil spill in Alaska is an excellent example of a company using thoughtful crisis mana

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Exxon's response worsened its public standing.

Explanation:

Crisis management is the application of game plan to help an organization deal with a sudden and significant negative event.

The Exxon's response is a perfect example of how company should apply thoughtful response in crisis management because Exxon corporation failed to follow several well-established procedures thereby damaged its public standing, failed to seize control of developments after the spill and sending lower-ranking executive to address the situation instead of the chairman going there himself to take control of the situation in a possible way.

The action taken by Exxon led to the impression that the company disregard pollution problem by not involving top management.

You are the manager of a firm that competes against four other firms by bidding for government contracts. While you believe your

hodyreva [135]

Answer: $1,000

Explanation:

Given Data;

Total government demand is Q = 800 -10P

marginal cost (Mc) = $50

contracted price (cp) = $70 per unit

Therefore;

Marginal Revenue ( MR ) = Marginal Cost ( MC)

Q = 800 -10P

800 - Q = 10P

Divide through by 10, where Q = 1

800/10 - 1/10 = P

80 - 0.1Q = P

Total Revenue(TR) = PQ

TR = 80 - 0.1Q

MR = MC

where MC = $50

80 - 0.1Q = 50

Collecting like terms

80 - 50 = 0.1Q

30 = 0.1 Q

Divide both side by 0.1

Q = 300

Price would be

P = 80 - 0.1Q

P = 80 - 0.1(300)

P = $50

MC = 40

Producing Q units

Total Cost (TC ) = 40 * ( 300 )

= $12,000

Total profit

= TR - TC

= ( P * Q ) - $12,000

= ( $50 * 300 ) - $12,000

= $15,000 - $12,000

= $3,000

Changes caused by regulations

Contracted price = $70

Quantity = 100Units

TT’ = ( P * Q ) - TC

= ( 70 * 100 ) - ( 50 * 100 )

= $7,000 - $5,000

= $2,000

TT - TT’ = $ ( 3000 - 2000 )

= $1,000

If legislation is passed all profit would reduce by $1,000
