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.

Suppose you receive at the end of each year for the next three years. a. If the interest rate is ​, what is the present value of
Furkat [3]

Answer:

the question is missing the numbers, so I looked for a similar question:

Suppose you receive $100 at the end of each year for the next three years. a. If the interest rate is 8%, what is the present value of these cash flows? (Answer: $257) b. What is the future value in three years of the present value you computed in (a)? (Answer: $324.61) c. Suppose you deposit the cash flows in a bank account that pays 8% interest per year. What is the balance in the account at the end of each of the next three years (after your deposit is made)? How does the final bank balance compare with your answer in (b)?

a) PV = $100/1.08 + $100/1.08² + $100/1.08³ = $257.71

b) FV = $257.71 x (1 + 8%)³ = $324.64

c) FV = ($100 x 1.08²) + ($100 x 1.08) + $100 = $324.64

it is exactly the same as the answer for (b)

Bonnie's employer provides her with an annual dinner club membership costing $5,000. Her marginal tax rate is 24 percent. Her em
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$3,800

Explanation:

The computation of the after-tax benefit is shown below:

= Annual dinner club membership cost - annual dinner club membership cost × her marginal tax rate

= $5,000 - $5,000 × 24%

= $5,000 - $1,200

= $3,800

We simply deduct her tax expense from the annual dinner club membership cost so that the accurate amount can come.

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it

The following errors took place in journalizing and posting transactions:
yuradex [85]

Answer:

<u>Journal 1</u>

Debit : Prepaid Expense $37,600

Credit : Cash $18,800

Credit : Insurance Expense $18,800

<u>Journal 2</u>

Debit : Dividends $18,000

Credit : Wages $18,000

Explanation:

Journal 1

The first error has to be corrected by debiting the Prepaid Expenses by twice the amount paid to cancel the effect of a credit entry made to that account. Cash is credited to show the correct credit entry that was supposed to be made. Insurance expense is credited to cancel the debit entry made to this account in error.

Journal 2

The error made is called error of principle. This is were the transaction is recorded in the wrong class of accounts. Simply, Debit the Dividends and credit the Wages Account to record and reverse the error out of the Wages Account into the Dividends Account.

If an economy is producing at a point on its production possibilities frontier, it is: a.efficient in production and allocation.
irinina [24]

Answer:

d.efficient in production but not necessarily in allocation.

Explanation:

The production possibility curve portrays the cost of society's choice between two different goods. An economy that operates at the frontier has the highest standard of living it can achieve, as it is producing as much as it can using the same resources. If the amount produced is inside the curve, then all of the resources are not being used.

- all points on the curve are points of maximum productive efficiency

- However, an economy may achieve productive efficiency without necessarily being allocatively efficient. Market failure (such as imperfect competition or externalities) and some institutions of social decision-making (such as government and tradition) may lead to the wrong combination of goods being produced (hence the wrong mix of resources being allocated between producing the two goods) compared to what consumers would prefer, given what is feasible on the PPF.
