Answer:

C. A giant mixing container costs twice as much to operate as a small one but can mix 6 times as much dough daily

Explanation:

Economies of scale refers to a state when increase in the output results out of lower average costs. The operation of such a phase results out of, the total cost getting spread over large number of units of production in the long run.

Economies of scale results when the operations of a business expand due to which a firm can buy in bulk, avail more discounts and concessions from the seller for inputs and the efficiency of the labor rises.

In the given case, if the bakery decides to purchase a giant mixing container, it might lead to economies of scale given the fact, with respect to costs, the revenues shall rise more.

Since the giant mixer is capable of mixing six times as much dough daily, it would lead to a reduction in the average cost accompanied by an increase in the output and thereby lead to economies of scale.

The factors that need to be determined to compute depreciation are an asset's: a.Cost, residual value, and physical life. b.Cost
kumpel [21]

Answer:

d.Cost, residual value, and service life

Explanation:

The depreciation of an asset is the systematic allocation of cost for the use of the asset over its useful life.

Depreciation is usually computed using the formula below

Depreciation  =  (cost - salvage value)/useful life

The difference between the cost and salvage value is the depreciation base of the asset over its entire useful life.

As such, the right option is d.Cost, residual value, and service life

The Beef-up ranch feeds cattle for midwestern farmers and delivers them to processing plants in Topeka,Kansas and Tulsa, Oklahom
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

a. Min Z = 2x₁ + 2.50x₂ + 3x₃

Subject to constraints :

3x₁ + 2x₂ + 4x₃ ≤ 128           .......(1)

3x₁ + x₂ + 3x₃ ≤ 160             ........(2)

x₁ + 0x₂ + 2x₃ ≤ 32              .........(3)

6x₁ + 8x₂ + 4x₃ ≤ 256          .........(4)

3x₁ + 2x₂ + 4x₃ ≥ 64            ..........(5)

3x₁ + x₂ + 3x₃ ≥ 80              ..........(6)

x₁ + 0x₂ + 2x₃ ≥ 16              ...........(7)

6x₁ + 8x₂ + 4x₃ ≥ 128         ............(8)

x₁ ≤ 15                                 ...........(9)

x₂≤ 15                                  ...........(10)

x₃ ≤ 15                                 ...........(11)

x₁ , x₂, x₃ ≥ 0

b. x₁ = 15 ,  x₂ = 9.5 , x₃ = 8.5

c. The optimal solution is Z = 79.25

Explanation:

Given - The table is as follows :

  • Nutrient           Feed 1                    Feed 2                      Feed 3
  •    A                      3                              2                                4
  •    B                      3                               1                                 3
  •    C                      1                                0                                2
  •    D                      6                               8                                4

The minimum requirement per cow each month is 4 pounds of nutrient A, 5 pounds of nutrient B, 1 pound of nutrient C, and 8 pounds of nutrient D. However, cows should not be fed more than twice the minimum requirement for any nutrient each month. Additionally, the ranch can only obtain 1,500 pounds of each type of feed each month. Because there are usually 100 cows at the beef-up ranch at any given time, this means that no more than 15 pounds of each type of feed can be used per cow each month.

To find - a. Formulate a linear programming problem to determine how  

                  much of each type of feed a cow should be fed each month.

              b. Create a spreadsheet model for this problem, and solve it using

                   Solver.

              c. What is the optimal solution?

Proof -

a.

Let feed 1 per cow per month = x₁

     feed 2 per cow per month = x₂

     feed 3 per cow per month = x₃

Now,

As given, The cost per pound of feeds 1,2, and 3 are $2.00, $2.50, and $3.00, respectively.

So, we have to minimize the cost , Z = 2x₁ + 2.50x₂ + 3x₃

Subject to constraints :

3x₁ + 2x₂ + 4x₃ ≤ 4(32)

3x₁ + x₂ + 3x₃ ≤ 5(32)

x₁ + 0x₂ + 2x₃ ≤ 1(32)

6x₁ + 8x₂ + 4x₃ ≤ 8(32)

∴ we get

Min Z = 2x₁ + 2.50x₂ + 3x₃

Subject to constraints :

3x₁ + 2x₂ + 4x₃ ≤ 128           .......(1)

3x₁ + x₂ + 3x₃ ≤ 160             ........(2)

x₁ + 0x₂ + 2x₃ ≤ 32              .........(3)

6x₁ + 8x₂ + 4x₃ ≤ 256          .........(4)

Now, as given

However, cows should not be fed more than twice the minimum requirement for any nutrient each month.

∴ we have

3x₁ + 2x₂ + 4x₃ ≥ \frac{128}{2}

3x₁ + x₂ + 3x₃ ≥ \frac{160}{2}

x₁ + 0x₂ + 2x₃ ≥ \frac{32}{2}

6x₁ + 8x₂ + 4x₃ ≥ \frac{256}{2}

and also

No more than 15 pounds of each type of feed can be used per cow each month.

⇒x₁ , x₂, x₃ ≤ 15

So,

The LPP model becomes

Min Z = 2x₁ + 2.50x₂ + 3x₃

Subject to constraints :

3x₁ + 2x₂ + 4x₃ ≤ 128           .......(1)

3x₁ + x₂ + 3x₃ ≤ 160             ........(2)

x₁ + 0x₂ + 2x₃ ≤ 32              .........(3)

6x₁ + 8x₂ + 4x₃ ≤ 256          .........(4)

3x₁ + 2x₂ + 4x₃ ≥ 64            ..........(5)

3x₁ + x₂ + 3x₃ ≥ 80              ..........(6)

x₁ + 0x₂ + 2x₃ ≥ 16              ...........(7)

6x₁ + 8x₂ + 4x₃ ≥ 128         ............(8)

x₁ ≤ 15                                 ...........(9)

x₂≤ 15                                  ...........(10)

x₃ ≤ 15                                 ...........(11)

x₁ , x₂, x₃ ≥ 0

b.)

We use simplex method calculator  to solve this LPP Problem

we get

x₁ = 15 ,  x₂ = 9.5 , x₃ = 8.5

c.)

The optimal solution is Z = 79.25

Describe the reason that accrued expenses often require adjusting entries but not in every situation. g
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

Accrued Expenses:

The expenses accumulated were costs pending only at the conclusion of the financial day to be paid. Your financial reports would be made around an accrual basis, meaning the revenue would be booked appropriately without receiving the money. Likewise, the costs incurred during the existing fiscal year will be booked irrespective of if they're not paid.

Usually, know that such a cost is incurred only at end of the fiscal year until we have been paid.

When at the conclusion of a fiscal year we won't receive this bill, therefore the costs will have to be modified directly. In case the payment is not received.
