The Versatech Corporation has decided to produce three new products. Five branch plants now have excess product capacity. The un

it manufacturing cost of the first product would be 531, $29, $32, $28, and $29 in Plants 1, 2, 3,4, and 5, respectively. The unit manufacturing cost of the second product would be S45, S41, 546, $42, and $43 in Plants 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. The unit manufacturing cost of the third product would be S38, S35, and $40 in Plants 1, 2, and 3, respectively, whereas Plants 4 and 5 do not have the capability for producing this product. Sales forecasts indicate that 600, 1,000, and 800 units of products 1, 2, and 3, respectively, should be produced per day. Plants 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 have the capacity to produce 400, 600, 400, 600, and 1,000 units daily, respectively, regardless of the product or combination of products involved. Assume that any plant having the capability and capacity to produce them can produce any combination of the products in any quantity. Management wishes to know how to allocate the new products to the plants to minimize total manufacturing cost. (a) Formulate this problem as a transportation problem by constructing the appropriate parameter table. (b) Obtain an optimal solution.

Answer:

A parameter table was constructed to show the transportation problem and to also obtain an optimal solution.

Explanation:

<u>Solution</u>

(a) the first step is to prepare  the problem as a transportation problem by establishing  the appropriate parameter table

                            1        2          3            Supply

Source    1           31      45      38             400

(Plant)      2          29     41       45             600

               3           32     46      40            400

               4           28     42      M              600

               5           29     43      M              1000

     Demand        600    1000  800

The total supply  is = 400 + 600 + 400+ 600+ 1000= 3000

Total demand is = 600 + 1000 + 800 = 2400

(b) since the problem given is an imbalanced transportation problem,to make it a balance transportation problem we will make use of what is called the dummy destination for this numbers 3000 - 2400 = 600

                  1        2          3                  4 (Dummy)      Supply

Source    1           31      45      38               0                   400

(Plant)      2          29     41       45               0                   600

               3           32     46      40               0                   400

               4           28     42      M                 0                   600

               5           29     43      M                 0                    100

Demand             600    1000  800          600

The positive independent number of  allocations is equal to m+n -1 = 5 + 4-1 =8

This solution is a basic feasible solution called a non -degenerate

The cost of initial transportation is he initial transportation cost=31*400+29*200+41*400+46*400+42*200+M*400+M*400+0*600

=$61400+800M

Note: kindly find an attached document of the part of the solution of the work.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The firm's cost of equity is C. 14.05 percent

Explanation:

Hi, we need to use the following formula in order to find the cost of equity of this firm.

r(e)=rf+beta(rm-rf)

Where:

r(e) = Cost of equity

rf = risk free rate

rm = Market rate of return

Everything should look like this.

r(e)=0.04+1.34(0.115-0.04)=0.1405

So, this firm´s cost of equity is 14.05%

Best of luck

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts on December 31, 2021:

Debit Bad debts expense $9,600

Credit Allowance for uncollectible accounts $9,600

Explanation:

During 2021, Pave Construction provides services on account of $124,000. By the end of 2021, cash collections on these accounts total $92,000.

The balance of uncollected accounts on December 31, 2021 = $124,000 - $92,000 = $32,000

Pave estimates that 30% of the uncollected accounts will be uncollectible.

Estimated uncollectible = 30% x $32,000 = $9,600

The adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts on December 31, 2021:

Debit Bad debts expense $9,600

Credit Allowance for uncollectible accounts $9,600

Zhang Industries sells a product for $700 per unit. Unit sales for May were 700 and each month's unit sales are expected to grow
ratelena [41]

Answer: $14594

Explanation:

The budgeted selling expense for the manager for the month ended June 30 will be calculated thus:

The unit sales for June will be:

= [700 × (1 + 3%)]

= 700 × (1 + 0.03)

= 700 × 1.03

= 721 units

Commission will be:

= 2% × (721 × 700)

= $10,094

Therefore, the selling expenses to be reported will be:

= $10,094 + $4500

= $14594
