Answer:
Option (E) is correct.
Explanation:
The opportunity cost refers to the benefits that are sacrificed by choosing some other alternative.
In our case, there are two restaurants as follows:
One is 2 miles away from home with higher prices
Second one is 15 miles away from home with lower prices
But Melissa chooses the first one by comparing the opportunity cost associated with each option relative to the other option.
This is because of the higher opportunity cost associated with second restaurant offsets the higher monetary cost of the first restaurant.
I would say the shareholders could disapprove of the performance of their company if it was to consistently to lose money over say several quarters with no signs of improvement or no encouragement by management that this was a temporary situation,
Decrease assets, decrease liabilities. Accounts payable are what the business owes (liabilities). By paying off accounts payable, the liabilities are decreasing (they owe less) and the assets are also decreasing (because they use assets/cash to pay off the liabilities, so they have less now).
Hope that helps
Answer:
Please see attachment and assumptions
Explanation:
<h2>Please note that the assumption is that the full question is as follows .</h2><h2>You are making the inventory decisions for an international company that sells bathing suits. The product has a forecasted daily demand with mean 100 and standard deviation 36. The selling season only lasts 6 months since bathing suits are a seasonal item. You are procuring the product from your factory in China (out-sourcing) and as a result the lead time is so long (6 months) that you can only place only one order per selling season (6 months before the season begins). You want to ensure a service level of 97.5% and the cost of capital of the firm is 20% (that is, the firm faces an annual interest rate of 20%). Shipping cost is $4,500 while procurement cost (purchase cost) per item is $5.</h2><h2>1.How many bathing suits should you order from your factory in China?
</h2><h2>2.What is the total holding cost?
</h2><h2>3.What is the total ordering cost?</h2>
Answer:
$863,689.50
Explanation:
The computation of the present value of the terminal value is shown below:
The terminal value at the end of the third year is
= Third year Cash flows × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)
= $64,000 × (1 + 2%) ÷ (8% - 2%)
= $1,088,000
Now its present value is
= terminal value at the end of the third year ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^number of years
= $1,088,000 ÷ (1 + 8%)^3
= $863,689.50
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
