nt, simultaneous saccharification/fermentation distillation, solid/ sirup separation, wastewater treatment, boilers, and turbogeneration/utilities (McAloon et al., 2000). Estimate the FCI of the plant using the empirical correlation based on the work of Bridgwater and Mumford (1979).

Answer:

$88 Million

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount of ethanol produced by stover-to-ethanol plant, F = 40,000 tonne/ year

Number of functional units, N = 8

Now,

For F < 60,000 tonne/ year

The FCI of the plant is given as

FCI = 458,000 × N × \text F^{0.3}

On substituting the respective values, we get

FCI = 458,000 × 8 × \text 40,000^{0.3}

or

FCI = 3,664,000 × 24.0225

or

FCI = $88018398.52 = $88 Million

Does this big data approach work for all three Gap Inc.'s primary brands: Old Navy, Gap, and Banana Republic? Why or why not? Wh
Greeley [361]

Answer:

We feel that the big data approach is applicable for all three of Gap Inc.’s brands, although the biggest insights from the information collected will come from the brand that has the greatest product diversity. Banana Republic is Gap’s most targeted brand with its expensive price points, so designers already have a relatively good idea of what their customers are looking for. The target customer is upscale, predominantly female, and interested in a classic look. The variability in design for the brand is least among Gap’s, but still significant so the ability to assess the success  

of product offerings in real time is extremely valuable. Similar to the model used by Netflix, withonline shopping Gap does not have to rely on feedback from just the very few customers that choose to comment on and rate products that they purchase.With the introduction of “Product 3.0”, the trends seen at Banana Republic and the Gap were able to cascade down into the less expensive, family brand of Old Navy. This allowed for consumers of all income brackets to be touched. All brands had a clear vision with common ground, being more predictive and demand driven based on data analytics. This sharing of information benefits all of the brands by better streamlining products towards market trends. Since Old Navy and Gap have a greater number of SKU’s, they will have an even greater benefit from big data. But managing, purchasing and inventories for these companies is even more challenging, and having to deeply discount unsuccessful SKU’s can be unavoidable. But minimizing these unsuccessful products can be achieved through big data by analyzing how well a product performs before waiting to receive customer feedback. Gap can emulate fast fashion companies like Zara who keep production runs short, even shorter for unsuccessful runs, and create a sense of urgency from the customer without complicating the customer’s decision process with an inevitable sale

EleoNora [17]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the total current asset is shown below

= Account receivable + cash + supplies + merchandise inventory

= $33,000 + $9,000 + $6,000 + $31,000

= $79,000

b The total liabilities and owners equity is

= Account payable + long term debt + common stock + retained earnings

= $23,000 + $40,000 + $10,000 + $59,000

= $132,000

c. The earnings from operations is

Sales revenue $140,000

Less cost of goods sold $90,000

Gross profit $50,000

add: service revenue $20,000

Less depreciation expense $12,000

Less supplies expense $14,000

Operating income $44,000

d. The net income is

= operating income - interest expense - income tax expense

= $44,000 - $4,000 - $12,000

= $28,000

e. The average income tax rate is

= $12,000 ÷ $40,000 × 100

= 30%

f. The beginning retained earnings is

= $59,000 + $16,000  - $28,000

= $47,000

If a customer credit score is within 2 points of the minimum of what the business will accept, should the business extend credit
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Explanation:

I wouldn't.

The business has drawn a rigid line in the sand. It has to maintain its standard. I might try and make a deal with the customer. "Come up with x% for a down payment."

If the score is high (like over 750), I would likely stretch my standard. 750 is a pretty high score and if you have that kind of a number, you know how to pay things back.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Option C is correct (8.95%)

Return on equity is 8.95%

Explanation:

Option C is correct (8.95%)

Return on Equity:

It is the measure of how well company is making profit in relation to stock holder equity.

General Formula formula for return on equity is:

ROE= Net Income/Shareholder Equity

In our Case:

Formula will become:

ROE=\frac{Net\ Income}{Sales*Capital\ Intensity\ Ratio}* Equity\ Multiplier

Net Income= $48,200

Sales=$ 947,100

capital intensity ratio=0.87

equity multiplier=1.53

ROE=\frac{\$48,200}{\$947,100*0.87}*1.53\\ROE=0.08950\\ROE=8.95\%

Return on equity is 8.95%
