The Attaran Corporation manufactures two electrical products: portable air conditioners and portable heaters. The assembly proce

ss for each is similar in that both require a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air conditioner takes 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling. Each heater must go through 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of drilling. During the next production period, 240 hours of wiring time are available and up to 140 hours of drilling time may be used. Each air conditioner sold yields a profit of $ 25. Each heater assembled may be sold for a $ 15 profit. Formulate and solve this LP production- mix situation, and find the best combination of air conditioners and heaters that yields the highest profit.

Answer:

the optimal solution is 40 air conditioners and 60 heaters that yield a total profit of $1,900

Explanation:

we have to maximize profit following the equation 25a + 15h, where a = air conditioners and h = heaters

the constraints are:

3a + 2h ≤ 240  

2a + h ≤ 140

a ≥ 0

h ≥ 0

using solver on excel, the optimal solution is 40 air conditioners and 60 heaters that yield a total profit = (40 x $25) + (60 x $15) = $1,900

(3 x 40) + (2 x 60) ≤ 240  

(2 x 40) + 60 ≤ 140

40 ≥ 0

60 ≥ 0

Roofing Issues. Sally agrees to roof a house for Bob. After doing his research, Bob chooses Sally based on her great reputation
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

C. Spencer will win because regardless of whether Glen was acting within the scope of his employment, Sally is liable for his negligence

Explanation:

Spencer will win the lawsuit and Sally is liable for negligence.

This is because, Sally was the person originally hired to do the roofing job.

She hired other workers to help her with the job, so she's liable to their actions and inactions.

Sally is operating under a working agreement (contract) and has already charged a fee of $10,000 so any punitive damages would be her responsibility.

Spencer was moving around and Glen threw some roofing shingles without any word of warning to people that might be in harm's way. So for Glenn's actions, Sally is liable for his negligence.

Mervon Company has two operating departments: Mixing and Bottling. Mixing has 350 employees and Bottling has 350 employees. Indi
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Allocated administrative cost for mixing is $81000

And allocated administrative cost for for bottling is $81000

Explanation:

We have given total number of employs for mixing = 350

And total number of employs for bottling = 350

Administrative cost = $162000

So total number of employs = 350+350 = 700

So allocation base for mixing =\frac{350}{700}=0.5

So allocated amount for mixing = 0.5×$162000 = $81000

Allocation base for bottling = =\frac{350}{700}=0.5

So allocated amount for bottling = 0.5×$162000 = $81000

Arbor Corporation reports the following: Sales revenue $183,000; ending inventory $12,600; beginning inventory $15,600; purchase
spin [16.1K]

Answer: Cost of goods sold = $62500

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales revenue = $183,000

Ending inventory = $12,600

Beginning inventory = $15,600

purchases = $64,000

purchases discounts = $4,000

purchase returns and allowances = $1,500

freight-in = $1,000

freight-out = $500

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchases - purchases discounts - purchase returns and allowances + freight-in - Ending inventory

= $15,600 +  $64,000 - $4,000 - $1,500 + $1,000 - $12,600

= $62500

Scenario B: Raney Pharmaceuticals Corp. has completed a SWOT analysis as part of their ongoing strategic planning process. They
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

SWOT ANALYSIS

Explanation:

A SWOT analysis looks at internal and external factors that can affect a business.

In SWOT analysis Internal factors are strengths and weaknesses. External factors are the threats and opportunities. An example of an external factor is changes in technology or a new government policy.

The Strategic planning process implored by Raney Pharmaceuticals Corp should help them:

1. respond to new trends

Since more people are becoming interested in natural alternatives to traditional chemical pharmaceuticals and the trend is expected to continue over the next decade Raney Pharmaceuticals Corp could take advantage of this opportunity by diversifying to produce natural alternative medication.

2. Discover threats (external factor)

Since New regulations have been passed limiting their ability to sell certain formulations over the counter, it would likely reduce their sales.

3. Overcome Weakness

The company has inadequate financial resources to invest in their operations and thus would need to get new investors.

Also, since they have fallen behind in research and development in the last few years adequate measures should be taken to improve their research and development.
