Janice really likes potatoes. Potatoes cost $1 per pound, and she has $5.00 that she could possibly spend on potatoes or other i

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

A) Janice will purchase 3 pounds of potatoes since she will buy them until her consumer surplus ≤ 0. The fourth pound of potatoes costs $1, and Janice is willing to pay only $0.30, so her consumer surplus s negative (-$0.70).

Consumer surplus is the difference between the price that a customer is willing and able to pay for a good and the good actual price.

B) If Janice only had $2 to spend, she would buy 2 pounds of potatoes, since her consumer surplus is positive at 2 pounds.

first pound costs $1, and Janice is willing to pay $1.50, consumer surplus = $0.50

second pound costs $1, and Janice is willing to pay $1.14, consumer surplus = $0.14

Answer:

Labour rate variance = $260 favourable

Explanation:

The rate variance would be the difference between the standard labour cost of the 2,300 units sold and the actual labour cost

Standard labour cost (3600/1200× 2300) 6,900

Actual labour cost 6, 640

labour rate variance $260 favourable

The variance is favourable because the StuckinMyHouse book company saved $260 as a result of of his actual cost been less than the expected cost.

Crockin Corporation is considering a machine that will save $9,000 a year in cash operating costs each year for the next six yea

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

IRR = 16.5%

Explanation:

The IRR is the discount rate that equates the present value of cash inflows to that of cash outflows. At the IRR, the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project is equal to zero

If the IRR greater than the required rate of return , we accept the project for implementation

If the IRR is less than that the required rate , we reject the project for implementation

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

NPV = PV of annual savings - initial cost

PV of annual savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/r

A- annual savings in operating cost , r- rate of return, n- number of years

NPVa at 10% discount rate

PV of cash inflow = (9,000× 1-1.1^-6)/0.1 = 39,197.35

NPV = 65,328.91 - 33,165 = 6,032.35

NPVb at 20% discount rate

PV of cash inflow = (9,000× 1-1.2^-6)/0.2= (3,235.41)

NPV = 29,929.59 -33,165 = (3,235.41)

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

IRR = 10% + ( (6,032.35/(6,032.35 +3,235.41) )× (20-10)%= 16.51%

IRR = 16.5%

Charra [1.4K]

The word that completes the sentence that relates to the suppliers' profit maximized at equilibrium is demand. Demand is related to the consumer. At equilibrium, the supplier's profit is maximized at the same time the consumer's demands are optimized.

You would like to use the fixed-order-interval inventory model to compute the desired order quantity for a company. You know tha

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

c. 50

Explanation:

Fixed-order-interval inventory model also known as fixed reorder cycle inventory model is used to manage supply of raw material to a business based on demand of the product. Review of inventory is done by inventory analyst at fixed intervals and of inventory level is above a predetermined reorder level, nothing is done.

If however stock is at or below set reorder level raw material is purchased and is based on the formula- Maximum level - Current level.

In the scenario above we use the following formula

Standard deviation of demand over the review and lead-time period(SD)=Square root of { (Lead time+ Number of days between review)* (Standard deviation of daily demand)^2}

SD= √ {(10+15)*(10)^2}

SD= √ (25* 100)

SD= √2,500

SD= 50
