Oxana [17]3 years ago

Complete Question:

You are considering the purchase of a new machine to help produce a new product line being introduced.  The machine is expected to have a setup time of 10 minutes per batch and a processing time of 2 minutes per part.  You plan to have batch sizes of 50 parts.  The plant operates 8 hours per day.

What is the capacity of the machine in batches per day?

Answer:

The capacity of the machine in batches = 4 batches per day.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Set up time per batch = 10 minutes

Processing time per part = 2 minutes

Batch sizes = 50 parts

Plant operation = 8 hours per day

b) Capacity in batches per day:

Total batch time = 10 + 50 * 2 = 110 minutes

Total minutes of operation  per day = 8 * 60 = 480 minutes

Capacity in batches = 480/110 = 4.36 or approximately 4 batches

c) Each batch produces 50 parts with each part taking some 2 minutes and an additional batch setup time of 10 minutes, giving a total of 110 minutes per batch.  Since there are some 480 (8 * 60) minutes available per day, it means that the entity can only run about 4 batches (480/110) per day.  These 4 batches will consume a total of 440 minutes (110 x 4), leaving some 40 minutes as unutilized time.

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Managing Director (MD) of Illustrious Limited recently had the following conversatio
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Illustrious Limited

a) I sympathize with the MD.  He noted "We have been through these types of projects before, and what always ends up happening is that we do not get the new system we are promised. Instead, we get a modified version of the old system."  The implication of his assertion is that something is missing in the way the CIO and her team had been handling system development projects in the past.  Even the CIO acknowledged the MD's assertions by assuring "that this will not happen this time."  In the past, the system development team had neglected understanding "what is working well and what is not."  This should not be the case in any good system development.  Preliminary analysis or investigation should uncover users' requirements and then conduct a thorough system analysis before the design and other stages are carried out in an iterative process.

b) I would recommend SCRUM instead of the Waterfall methodology.  With Scrum, the system development project is teamwork.   The team is held accountable and SCRUM utilizes iteration to achieve well-defined goals.  The SCRUM framework "begins with a simple premise, starting with what can be seen or known before it tracks progress and tweaks as necessary," to achieve set goals defined by users' requirements.

Explanation:

a) System Development is a process that follows a system development life cycle (SDLC) methodology and involves these seven stages: requirement analysis, system analysis, system design, development or programming, testing, implementation and documentation, and evaluation and support.

b) SCRUM is a framework in SDLC which follows "a set of meetings, tools, and roles that work in concert to help teams structure and manage their work."  SCRUM has been described as "an agile way to manage a project," especially software development because of its "iterative and flexible approaches."

c)  Waterfall model, on the other hand, follows linear sequential phases of conception, initiation, analysis, design, construction, testing, deployment, and maintenance, and each stage depends on the deliverables of the previous stage.  This is why "in software development, it tends to be among the less iterative and flexible approaches, as progress flows in largely one direction ("downwards" like a waterfall) through the phases."

Mayan company had net income of $33,250. the weighted-average common shares outstanding were 9,500. the company sold 4,500 share
mylen [45]

The company’s earnings per share would still be based on the common shares outstanding of 9,500. This is because the 4,500 selling transaction is not yet accounted for that last accounting period. Therefore,

Earnings per share = $33,250 / 9,500 shares

Earnings per share = $3.5 per share

According to different researches carried out across the U.S., young adults who are between 18 and 29 years old have a total debt to $1.05 trillion. Individuals' debt who are older than 70 is $1 trillion. The average debt amount that young adults (18-29) have is $22,000 while elder people from 50 years old and on is $36,000.

Then, <em>young adults have larger accumulated debt than elders and their debt amounts are lower as well.</em>

A. Find the FV of $1,000 invested to earn 10% annually 5 years from now. Answer this question by using a math formula and also b
vekshin1

Answer:

$1,610.51 (in both calculation)

Explanation:

1. Using Math formula,

We know, Future value, FV = PV × (1 + i)^{n}

Given,

Present Value, PV = $1,000

Interest, i = 10% = 0.10

Number of periods, n = 5 years

Putting the values in the formula, we can get,

Future value, FV = PV × (1 + i)^{n}

FV = $1,000 × (1 + 0.10)^{5}

or, FV = $1,000 × 1.61051

Therefore, FV = $1,610.51

2. Using excel formula,

See the image below:

We have to use present value as negative so that the result should be used as positive.
