Answer:

See below

Explanation:

A. The cost for each for each option;

•If demand level is 25,000 units per year

Option 1 = $500,000 + ($2 × 25,000 unit

= $500,000 + $50,000

= $550,000

Option 2 = $100,000 + ($10 × 25,000 units)

= $100,000 + $250,000

= $350,000

• If the demand level is 75,000 units per year

Option 1 = $500,000 + ($2 × 75,000 units)

= $500,000 + $150,000

= $650,000

Option 2 = $100,000 + ($10 × 75,000 units)

= $100,000 + $750,000

= $850,000

B. As the volume level increases, option 1 will be better since the variable cost is lower. As the volume decreases, option 2 will be better as the fixed cost is lower.

C. The indifference point

= Differential fixed cost/Differential variable cost per unit

= [$500,000 - $100,000]/[$10 -$2]

= $400,000/$8

= 50,000 units

Lieutenant Commander Data is planning to make his monthly (every 30 days) trek to Gamma Hydra City to pick up a supply of isolin

nadezda [96]

Answer:

219.57 units

Explanation:

Given :

Daily demand, d = 7 per day

Standard deviation, = 2 per day

Service probability = 98%

Total number of days per week = 7

Lead time , L = 3 days

On hand inventory, I = 35

Now calculating the optimal order quantity by using the given formula,

$q=d(T+L)+ z \ \sigma_{r+L}-I$ .............(i)

First, we will find out the value of $\sigma_{r+L}$ and z.

Therefore,

$\sigma_{r+L}=\sqrt{(30+3)(2)^2}$

$=\sqrt{132}$

= 11.48

Now the value of z can be found out from the z-table,

Z value for 98% service level = 2.054

Now putting the value of $\sigma_{r+L}$ and z in equation (i), we get,

$q=d(T+L)+ z \ \sigma_{r+L}-I$

= (7)(30+3)+(2.054)(11.48) - 35

= 231 + 23.57 - 35

= 219.57 units

So the optimal number of the units required to be order = 219.57 units

Neoclassical Model of Investment" (1 point): In class, we discussed the idea of net investment, and how it could change in respo

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Take Note that the model has following relationship between investment and factors that affect it

Int = F(Ye, it, d, πe, tc, Kt-1)

Net investment is a function of

Expected output (Ye),

Rental or user cost of capital (such as nominal interest rate it),

Expected inflation (πe),

Corporate tax/ investment tax credit,

Existing stock of capital

For a given stock of capital,

A rise in expected output (Ye), increases investment

A rise in expected inflation (πe) increases investment

A rise in the investment tax credit increases investment.

A rise in nominal/real rate of interest decreases investment

A rise in corporate income tax decreases net investment

(a) Anti-inflationary monetary policy raises the real interest rate (r ↑). As mentioned, it will depress net investment as firms have to pay a higher rate of interest on the investment made. Such policy increases rental cost of capital and it will decrease the desired capital stock.

b) An earthquake destroys part of the capital stock (K ↓). This will reduce net investment, increases rental cost of capital and it will decrease the desired capital stock.

(c) Immigration of foreign workers increases the size of the labor force (L ↑). With more workers to share the capital stock, marginal producivity of capital rises and so net investment increases. This decreases rental cost of capital and it will increase the desired capital stock.

(d) Advances in computer technology make production more efficient (A ). This causes the net investment to increase as the marginal productivity of capital will increase. This decreases rental cost of capital and it will increase the desired capital stock.

The 2016 income statements of Leggett & Platt, Inc. report net sales of $3,749.9 million. The balance sheet reports accounts

sergejj [24]

Answer:

option (A) 49 days

Explanation:

Data provided:

Net sales = $3,749.9 million

Accounts receivable on December 31, 2016 = $486.6 million

Accounts receivable on December 31, 2015 = $520.2 million

Now,

The duration from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016 = 365 days

Days sales outstanding = $\frac{\textup{Average accounts receivable}}{\textup{Credit sales}}\times Number of days$

Days sales outstanding = $\frac{\frac{\$486.6 + \$520.2}{2}\textup{million}}{\$\textup{3,749.9 million}}\times365$

Days sales outstanding = $\frac{\$\textup{503.4 million}}{\$\textup{3,749.9 million}}\times365$

Days sales outstanding = 48.99 ≈ 49 days

Hence,

The correct answer is option (A) 49 days

a customer has invested 20000 in a variable annuity. in the first year nav increases to 21100 at what rate wsill 1100 gain be ta

rjkz [21]

Answer: 0%

Explanation:

The $20,000 contribution to the variable annuity is not taxed and neither is the gain, at least not yet.

With the variable annuity, the gains/earnings will be tax-deferred and the customer will only have to pay taxes when they withdraw the contributions.

When this happens they will be charged at the normal income tax rate.
