Vsevolod [243]

Answer: See Explanation

Explanation:

The payback period for both projects would be calculated as:

Alpha Project

Cost = $530,000

Annual net cash flow = $60,000

Payback period = Cash / Annual net cash flow

= $530,000 / $60,000

= 8.83

Beta Project

Cost = $170,000

Annual net cash flow = $18,000

Payback period = Cash / Annual net cash flow

= $170,000 / $18,000

= 9.4

We can see that Alpha Project is better as the payback period is lesser than Beta project

Ira Lisetskai [31]
The budget is $4,240.

There are 164 kittens and 24 puppies.
Let
x = amount spent on each kitten
y =  amount spent on each puppy.

The cost for each puppy is twice a much as that for a kitten. Therefore
y = 2x                  (1)

The available amount is $4,240, therefore
164x + 24y = 4240          (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
164x + 24(2x) = 4240
212x = 4240
x = $20
y = 2x = $40

Answer: $40 for each puppy.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Business Process Re-engineering is business philosophy that seeks to improve product by eliminating causes of product defects and making quality an all-encompassing organizational watchword.

Hence A is correct

Explanation:

It is an holistic approach to rearranging business and organisation's workflows with a view to identifying sub-optimization and inefficiencies that are deep-rooted in its processes which are cost-consuming but do not add value to business bottom-line(profitability).

Implementing a BPR project is a painstaking effort in that it is a way of telling employees to dump old ways of doing of things which they are probably more comfortable with and embrace change.This is the case as an average human tends to resist change.

ddd [48]

Answer:

1. $2,185

2. Percentage increase 14%. Sales decrease -22%

3. $1,805

4. -17.4%

Explanation:

1. In calculating the profit for the first week we will simply deduct the costs from the sales.

= Sales - Fixed Costs - Variable costs

= (1,800 cones * 3.5) - 2,675 - ( 1,800 cones * 0.8)

= 6,300 - 2,675 - 1,440

= $2,185

$2,185 is her profit for the first week.

2. Percentage increase in selling price will be,

= 4-3.5/3.5 * 100%

= 14%

Percentage decrease in sales

= 1,400 - 1,800 / 1,800 * 100%

= -22%

3. Using the first questions method we have,

= (1,400 * 4) - 2,675 - (1,400 * 0.8)

= 5,600 - 2,675 - 1,120

= $1,805

$1,805 is her profit for the second week.

4. Decrease in profit

= $1,805 - $2,185 / 2,185 * 100%

= -17.4%

Maria Lorenzi suffered a decrease in profit of -17.4% as a result of raising her prices by 14%.
