You have just used the network planning model for a county road resurfacing project and found the critical path length is 40 day

s and the standard deviation of the critical path is 10 days. Suppose you want to pick a time (in days) within which you will complete the project with 90% confidence level, what should be that time (in days and round to the nearest whole number.)

Answer: E.53

Explanation:

From the above information, the formula for due date is given below.

DUE DATE = Expected Completion Time + (Z * Standard Deviation)

A confidence level refers to the percentage of all possible samples that can be expected to contain the true population parameter. It is computed according to a random sample from the population and most times always associated with a certain confidence level that is a probability, usually presented as a percentage. The 90% says that 90% will include the true mean but 10% won't.

A Z-score is referred to as a numerical measurement that is made use of in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (that is average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations away from the mean.

Expected time = 40

Confidence interval = 90 = Z VALUE of 1.282

Standard Deviation= 10

DUE DATE = 40 + (1.282 * 10) = 53days

= 40+ 12.82

=52.82

Approximately 53

Therefore,the time in days is 53 days.

Answer:

E- 53

Explanation:

FORMULA:

DUE DATE = EXPECTED COMPLETION TIME + (Z * STDEV)

Expected time = 40

CONFIDENCE INTERVAL = 90 = Z VALUE OF 1.282

STANDARD DEVIATION = 10

DUE DATE = 40 + (1.282 * 10) = 53

Breakeven analysis: Barry Carter is considering opening a music store. He wants to estimate the number of CDs he must sell to br
Scilla [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The operating break even point in number of CD is

= Fixed operating cost ÷ (Selling price per unit - variable operating cost)

= $73,500 ÷ ($13.98 - $10.48)

= 21,000 CDs

b. Now the total operating cost is

= Fixed cost + Quantity × variable cost per unit

= $73,500 + 21,000 CDs × $10.48

= $293,580

c. If he can sell 2,000 CDs per month than annual sale is 24,000 CDs and the break even is exceeded than 3,000 CDs by taking a difference of 24,000 CDs and 21,000 CDs . So, it should go to the CD business

d. Now the EBIT is

= (Selling price × Quantity) - Fixed cost - (Variable price × Quantity)

= ($13.98 × 24,000) - $73,500 - ($10.48 × 24,000)

= $335,520 - $73,500 - $251,520

= $10,500

We simply applied the above formulas

Manufacturing cost data for Orlando Company, which uses a job order cost system, are presented below. Indicate the missing amoun
ohaa [14]

Answer and Explanation:

As per the given question the solution of missing amount for each letter is provided below:-

                                           Case A           Case B

Direct material used        a $49,350      $93,400

Direct Labor                      $56,000          $146,100

Manufacturing overhead

applied                              $44,800         d $116,880

Total manufacturing

cost                                 $150,150           e $356,380

Work in process 1/1/20  b $55,750        $16,800

Total cost of work in

process                         $205,900         f $373,180

Work in process

12/31/20                       c $11,600          $15,400

Cost of goods

manufactured              $194,300            g $357,780

Working Note

a. Direct materials used = Total manufacturing costs - Manufacturing overhead applied - Direct labor

= $150,150 - ($56,000 + $44,800)

= $150,150 - $100,800

= $49,350

b. Works in process 1/1/20 = Total cost of works in process - Total manufacturing costs

= $205,900 - $150,150

= $55,750

c. Works in process 12/31/20   = Total cost of works in process - Cost of goods manufactured

= $205,900 - $194,300

= $11,600

d. Manufacturing overhead applied = $44,800 ÷ $56,000

= 80%

For case B the manufacturing overhead applied = 80% × $146,100

= $116,880

e. Total manufacturing costs = Direct materials used + Direct Labor + Manufacturing overhead applied

= $93,400 + $146,100 + $116,880

= $356,380

f. Total cost of work in process = Total manufacturing costs + Works in process 1/1/20

= $356,380 + $16,800

= $373,180

g.  Cost of goods manufactured = Total cost of work in process - Works in process 31/12/20

= $373,180 - $15,400

= $357,780

Therefore to reach the missing amounts we simply use the working notes.

In two or more complete sentences, compare and contrast the 401(k) and the 403(b) savings plans.
Ksju [112]
The main difference of the two is the kind of employers who can offer the saving plans. For 403(b) saving plans, this applies to nonprofit companies, schools, government organizations, hospitals and religious groups. They are exempt of some administrative processes making it less costly compared to 401(k) savings plan. 401(k) savings plan is applied on private companies.

A counteroffer determines this when an offer is being created for the purpose of the earlier offer by another person during the negotiation for creating the ending contract. To make the counteroffer is to reject the previous offer and is created under the terms of the counteroffer or there will be no contract.

Here according to the given scenario, Jack makes the offer in the condition that he needs only microwave, refrigerator, and window treatment and this will be a sale part.
