Answer:

Competitive Bidding based on Weighted Score

a. Calculation of the total weighted score for each supplier:

Supplier A :

Quality systems 40% x 2/5   = 16%

Financial stability 29% x 2/5 = 11.6%

Management experience 20% x 4/5 = 16%

Price 11% 1/5 = 2.2%

Total weighted score = 45.8%

Supplier B :

Quality systems 40% x 3/5 = 24%

Financial stability 29% x 2/5 = 11.6%

Management experience 20% x 2/5 = 8%

Price 11% x 4/5 = 8.8%

Total weighted score = 52.4%

Supplier C

Quality systems 40% x 2 /5 = 16%

Financial stability 29% x 3 /5 = 17.4%

Management experience 20% x 3 /5 = 12%

Price 11% x 4/5 = 8.8%

Total weighted score = 54.2%

b. Best Supplier:

Supplier C

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: c. If their maturities and other characteristics were the same, a 5% coupon bond would have more price risk than a 10% coupon bond.

Explanation:

Price risk of a bond is the risk that the bond changes price or rather the degree of price volatility. Bond prices change in reaction to market interest rates with higher rates meaning lower prices and lower rates meaning higher prices.

When the market interest rates rise above the Coupon on a bond, the bond price will fall below par and when the interest rates are below the coupon, the bond will be above par.

A 5% coupon bond will be more prone to changes in prices because market interest rates are generally low and fluctuate below 10% which means that they will affect the 5% bond more than the 10% because there are better chances of rates rising above or falling below 5% than there are of 10%.

A diesel-powered tractor with a cost of $186,240 and estimated residual value of $5,700 is expected to have a useful operating l
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

$612

Explanation:

To compute the depreciation, first we have to compute the depreciation per hour which is given below:

= (Cost of diesel-powered tractor  - estimated residual value) ÷ (useful operating life)

= ($186,240 - $5,700) ÷ (59,000 hours)

= ($180,540) ÷ (59,000 hours)

= $3.06 per hour

Now the depreciation would be

= Operated hours  × depreciation per hour

= 200 units × $3.06

= $612

A company's fixed operating costs are $420,000, its variable costs are $3.20 per unit, and the product's sales price is $4.65. W
Hatshy [7]

Answer: The volume of sales that will result in a break-even point is 289,655 units

Explanation: For any organization or company to break-even means its total costs is just the same as its total revenue. This means no profit, and no loss either. Or better still, profit/loss equals zero.

The equation to determine the profit or otherwise of an organization is given as Revenue minus Cost. That is, the sales figure should exceed the cost of production, and the excess would be the profit. If on the other hand the cost of production exceeds the sales figure, then the equation would result in a negative figure which simply means a loss has been recorded.

In the question above, the costs have been given as;

Fixed cost = 420000

Variable cost = 3.2y

Total cost = 420000 + 3.2y

Where y is the number of units produced.

Also the revenue has been given as 4.65y

That is, sales price multiplied by number of units produced/sold

The profit is given as revenue minus cost while the break-even point is given as revenue equals cost, that is;

420000 + 3.2y = 4.65y

Collect like terms and you have;

420000 = 4.65y - 3.2y

420000 = 1.45y

Divide both sides by 1.45

289655.172 = y

y ≈ 289,655

Therefore the sales volume that will result in a break even point is 289,655 units

5 400 60 600

6 450 50 500

7 490 40 400

8 520 30 300

the marginal product of n labor = (total product of n labor - the total product of p labor)/(n-p)............(n>p)

Marginal revenue product = marginal product*price

the firm employ input up to marginal revenue product equal to the wage

MRP = wage or closest lower wage

where W = 5

the firm will higher 5 workers.
