Next week, super discount airlines has a flight from new york to los angeles that will be booked to capacity. the airline knows

from past history that an average of 35 customers (with a standard deviation of 24) cancel their reservation or do not show for the flight. revenue from a ticket on the flight is $134. if the flight is overbooked, the airline has a policy of getting the customer on the next available flight and giving the person a free round-trip ticket on a future flight. the cost of this free round-trip ticket averages $263. super discount considers the cost of flying the plane from new york to los angeles a sunk cost. by how many seats should super discount overbook the flight? (use excel's normsinv() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. do not round intermediate calculations. round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

The cost of underestimating the demand is considered a revenue loss that arises due to cancellation of flight costing $134. Hence, cost of underetimating the demand is C_u=\$134.

The cost of overestimating the demand is known as rewards. For example, free round trip ticket worth $263. Hence, the cost of overestimating the demand is C_o=\$263.

\frac{C_u}{C_u+C_o} = \frac{134}{134+263}  \\  \\ = \frac{134}{397} =0.3375

The z-score that yields a p-value of 0.3375 is -0.4193.

Thus, super discount airlines should overbook the flight by 35 + (-0.4193 x 24) = 35 - 10.0632 = 24.9368 = 25 seats.

Therefore, super discount airlines should overbook the flight by 25 seats.

BruceCo is planning on selling backpacks for $100 each. The company can buy the backpacks for $30.00 and have them customized fo
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: BruceCo would have to sell 220 backpacks

Explanation: The projection of a $10,000 profit can be calculated properly by the equation;

Revenue - Cost = Profit

There is a one-time set up charge of 1000 and this is a fixed cost (as it does not change regardless of how many units they eventually sell). Also they would be spending $30 to buy each unit and still spend $20 to customize each. So each unit would cost $50 to acquire. If they plan on selling each unit at the rate of $100, then the total revenue would be 100 times X (where X is the number of units sold). Therefore the profit can be better projected by the equation;

Revenue - Cost = Profit

100X - (50X + 1000) = 10000

100X -50X - 1000 = 10000

50X = 10000 + 1000

50X = 11000

Divide both sides of the equation by 50

X = 220

Therefore, BruceCo must sell 220 units (at least) in order to meet a $10,000 profit projection

The following labor standards have been established for a particular product: Standard labor-hours per unit of output 9.9 hours
topjm [15]

Answer:

-$30,250 favorable

Explanation:

labor efficiency variance = (standard quantity - actual quantity) x standard labor cost

  • actual quantity = 7,700 hours
  • standard quantity = 9.9 hours x 1,000 units = 9,900
  • standard labor cost = $13.70

labor efficiency variance = (7,700 - 9,900) x $13.70 = -$30,250 favorable variance

the variance is favorable, because less hours were actually used than forecasted

Rivera Company has several processing departments. Costs charged to the Assembly Department for November 2020 totaled $2,288,076
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Using the FIFO cost method:

beginning WIP 34,600 units

materials $79,000 (100% complete)

conversion $48,200 (30% complete, 70% remaining = 24,220 EU)

units started 662,700

materials added $1,594,520

conversion costs added $566,356

ending WIP 24,100

100% complete for materials

40% complete for conversion = 9,640 EU

units completed and transferred out = 34,600 + 662,700 - 24,100 = 673,200

units started and completed = 662,700 - 34,600 - 24,100 = 604,000

total equivalent units for the month:

materials 662,700

conversion = 24,220 + 604,000 + 9,640 = 637,860

total cost per EU:

materials = $1,594,520 / 662,700 = $2.4061

conversion = $566,356 / 637,860 = $0.8879

total = $3.294

cost of ending WIP:

materials = 24,100 x $2.4061 = $57,987

conversion = 9,640 x $0.8879 = $8,559.36 ≈ $8,559

total = $66,546

cost of units transferred out = $79,000 + $48,200 + $1,594,520 + $566,356 - $66,546 = $2,221,530

total units transferred out = 673,200

production cost per unit = $2,221,530 / 673,200 = $3.30
