Answer:

129 bracelets and 59 necklaces.

Explanation:

Kings departments store wants to maximize profit by making a combination of its two products necklaces and bracelets. The King store should use a strategy so that it can generate maximum profit with its available rubies, diamonds and emeralds.  

$250a + $500b = Maximum Profit

For rubies : 2a + 5b = 625

For Diamonds : 3a + 7b = 800

For Emeralds: 4a + 3b = 700

Solving the equation we get maximum profit value of $61,750.The King departments stores should make 129 bracelets and 59 necklaces which will bring maximum profit to the store.

Holmes Company produces a product that can be either sold as is or processed further. Holmes has already spent $60,000 to produc
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Holmes should sell process the product further, because the profit if process further is higher than sell product now.

Explanation:

Net profit if sell product now is $37,500 ( = sales to another manufacturer $97,500 – already spent $60,000)

Sales as in process further/ Incremental Accounting

Sales: $695,125 (=$415 x 1,675 units)

Additional Process costs: $485,570 (=$290 x 1,675 units)

Net profit if process further = total sales $695,125 – already spent $60,000 – additional process cost $485,570 = $149,555, higher than profit $37,500 if sell now.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

$64,474.20

Explanation:

As for the information provided,

discount rate = 7.25%

First payment will be made at the end of year 1

Discounting factor = \frac{1}{(1+0.0725)^1} = 0.9324

Thus, current value of payment = 28,000 \times 0.9324 = $26,107.20

Discounting factor for receipts =

Year 1 = \frac{1}{(1+0.0725)^1} = 0.9324 = $28,000 \times 0.9324 = 26,107.20

Year 2 = \frac{1}{(1+0.0725)^2} = 0.8694 = 35,000 \times 0.8694 = 30,429

Year 3 = \frac{1}{(1+ 0.0725)^3} = 0.8106 = 42,000 \times 0.8106 = 34,045.20

Therefore, value of contract today = - $26,107.20 + $26,107.20 + $30,429.0 + $34,045.20 = $64,474.20
