A company has a factory that is designed so that it is most efficient (average unit cost is minimized) when producing 19,200 uni

ts of output each month. However, it has an absolute maximum output capability of 23,000 units per month, and can produce as little as 7,000 units per month without corporate headquarters shifting production to another plant. If the factory produces 13,280 units in October, what is the capacity utilization rate in October for this factory?

Answer:

69.17%

Explanation:

The capacity utilization rate measures how much actual output is being produced compared to the maximum output capability of the factory or machine, or in this case, the most efficient output.

It is calculated by dividing current output by maximum possible output = 13,280 units / 19,200 units = 0.6917 x 100 = 69.17%. It is generally shown as a percentage.

In this case, we are not using the total potential output (23,000 units) because the most efficient level is lower (19,200 units) and should generate higher profits.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

n =   ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)

Explanation:

Compound interest rate

A = P × (1 + r)^{n}

where

P = principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit)

r  = annual rate of interest (as a decimal)

A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.

n  =  number of years

Since we want the principle amount to double i.e., A = 2P

put this in above equation

2P = P × (1 + r)^{n}

divide both sides by P, we get

P = (1 + r)^{n}

put r = 0.08

P = (1 + 0.08)^{n}

P = (1 .08)^{n}

Taking log on both sides

㏒ P =㏒ (1 .08)^{n}

㏒ P = n ㏒ (1.08)

n =   ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)

Investors require an after-tax rate of return of 10% on their stock investments. Assume that the tax rate on dividends is 30% wh
IgorC [24]

Answer:

a. $28.5

b. 12.28%

c.  $29.18

d. 13.09%

Explanation:

a. let current price = p

p*1.10 = 2(1-0.3)+30

= 1.4+30/1.10

= 31.4/1.10

= 28.5

the current price of the stock is approximately 28.5 dollars

b. (30+2 /28.5)-1

= 32/28.5 - 1

= 0.1228

= 12.28%

expected before tax rate is 12.28%

c. 3(1-0.3)+30 / 1.10

= 3*0.7+30/1.10

= $29.18

d. before tax rate of return

= (3$ + 30-29.18)/29.18

= 0.1309

= 13.09%

it is now higher here given that given that a greater dividend causes more tax burden.
