What may happen if the threaded heating element in percolator is not very tightly mounted

1 answer:

5 0

If the threaded heating element in a percolator is not very tightly mounted a leak may develop. For percolators, all mating surfaces must be tightly screwed together in order to prevent leaking. A build up of hard water deposits, dried milk and other such substances around the gasket may also result in leaking.

Hommie Delicacies produces two products (Orapine and Banango) from a joint process. The joint cost of production is GH¢80,000. F

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Joint cost = 80,000

Orapine

cost of 5000 at 20 = 100,000

Incremental Cost of further processing =20,000

Incremental revenue = 5000* (25-20)= 25,000

Incremental income 5,000

Banango

cost of 10000 at 15 = 150,000

Incremental cost of further processing = 20,000

Incremental revenue = 10,000*(16-15) = 10,000

Incremental income = (10,000) loss

If Orapine is processed further , there will be an incremental income of 5,000 compared to Banango that will bring an incremental loss of 10,00 if processed further.

Based on this , it is advised that Orapine be processed further while Banango is not

The College Bookstore sells a unique calculator to college students. The demand for this calculator has a normal distribution wi

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mean daily demand, M = 20 calculators per day

Standard deviation, SD = 4 calculators per day

Lead time for this calculator, L = 9 days

z-critical value (for 95% in-stock probability) = 1.65 (From z tables)

Normal consumption during lead-time:

= Mean daily demand × Lead time

= 20 × 9

= 180 units of calculator

Safety Stock = z value × SD × L^(0.5)

= 1.65 × 4 × (9)^(0.5)

= 1.65 × 4 × 3

= 19.8 units

Reorder Point = Normal consumption during lead-time + Safety Stock

= 180 units + 19.8 units

= 199.8 or 200 units (Approx)

Mitch, a single taxpayer, earns $100,000 in taxable income and $10,000 in interest from an investment in city of Birmingham Bond

Ivan

Answer:

The answer is: $18,289.50

Explanation:

The interest earned from the investment in Birmingham Bonds is not included in Mitch's gross income.

If Mitch earned $100,000, so he will fall under the fourth bracket for single filers.

He will have to pay $14,089.50 plus 24% of any income over $82,500.

taxes due = $14,089.50 + [($100,000 - $82,500) x 24%]

taxes due = $14,089.50 + $4,200 = $18,289.50

Cray Research sold a super computer to the Max Planck Institute in Germany on credit and invoiced €10 million payable insix mont

Reil [10]

Answer:

a) The expected loss from the forward hedging = $432,900

b) No I wouldn’t recommend hedging the euro receivable based on the fact that the future spot rate is better off than the forward exchange rate.

c) No I wouldn’t because in any case whether you hedge or not there will be no difference.

Explanation:

Solution.

Forward Exchange Rate = $1.10/€, therefore the equivalent of €10 million receivable from Germany in 6-month time = €10 million / Forward exchange rate ($1.10) = $9,090,909

However, the 6 months spot rate is $1.05/€, therefore if we simply wait till 6 months we will receive €10 million / Forward spot rate ($1.05) = $9,523,809.

a) The expected loss from the forward hedging = $9,523,809 - $9,523,809 = $432,900

b) No I wouldn’t recommend hedging the euro receivable based on the fact that the future spot rate is better off than the forward exchange rate.

c) No I wouldn’t because in any case whether you hedge or not there will be no difference. You’ll just end up paying hedging fees which will impact on profits adversely.

However it is always advisable to hedge foreign exchange risks because predictions could differ from reality and adverse movements in exchange rates could carry significant financial consequences which may not be comparable to the hedging costs.
