The shadow price measures, per unit increase in the right hand side of the constraint, Select one: a. the change in the value of

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

A. the change in the value of the optimal solution.

Explanation:

A shadow pricing is associated with each constraint of the model and is the instantaneous changes that occur in the objective model of the optimal solution that is obtained by changing the right-hand side constrained by one unit and a reduced cost is associated with each variable of the model. Also referred to as a monetary values that is assigned to the current unknowable or difficult to calculate costs.

Is the concept of a team bonding through the subjugation and humiliation of some of its junior members valid, or do these behavi

NARA [144]

Team bonding through the subjugation of junior members is not valid. Junior members should be encouraged by the senior members to strive for the team, not belittled or humiliated in the process. Different people assume comradery in different ways, some through degradation or laughter, and others through positivity and cohesiveness, but subjugation and humiliation should never be a factor when building teams, especially in today’s society since we live in such a diverse culture in this country. If an organization relied on humiliating banter in order to form a collective unit, then it shows that the organization is less cohesive and reflects poor management and leadership skills within the organization.

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $940,000,

Tanya [424]

Answer:

a. Year 0 Net Cash Flows = $984,000

b. We have:

Year 1 net operating cash flows = $306,159

Year 2 net operating cash flows = $332,986

Year 3 net operating cash flows = $261,479

c. Additional Year 3- cash flow = $504,877

d. The machine should be purchased.

Explanation:

We start by first calculating the following:

Initial Investment = Base Price + Modification Cost = $940,000 + $25,000 = $965,000

Useful Life = 3 years

Depreciation in Year 1 = 0.3333 * $965,000 = $321,634.50

Depreciation in Year 2 = 0.4445 * $965,000 = $428,942.50

Depreciation in Year 3 = 0.1481 * $965,000 = $142,916.50

Book Value at the end of Year 3 = $965,000 - $321,634.50 - $428,942.50 - $142,916.50 = $71,506.50

After-tax Salvage Value = Salvage Value - (Salvage Value - Book Value) * Marginal tax rate = $624,000 – ($624,000 - $71,506.50) * 25% = $485,877

Initial Investment in NWC = $19,000

We can now proceed as follows:

a. What is the Year 0 net cash flow?

Year 0 Net Cash Flows = Initial Investment + Initial Investment in NWC = $965,000 + $19,000 = $984,000

b. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, 3?

Year 1 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 1) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $321,634.50) = $306,159

Year 2 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 2) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $428,942.50) = $332,986

Year 3 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 3) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $142,916.50) = $261,479

c. What is the additional Year 3- cash flow (i.e. after tax salvage and the return of working capital)?

Additional Year 3- cash flow = NWC recovered + After-tax Salvage Value = $19,000 + $485,877 = $504,877

d. If the project's cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?

This can be determined from the net present value (NPV) calculated as follows:

NPV = -$984,000 + ($306,159/1.12^1) + ($332,986/1.12^2) + ($261,479/1.12^3) + ($504,877/1.12^3) = $100,287.71

Since the NPV of the machine of $100,287.71 is positive, the machine should be purchased.

Shamrock Corp. has a deferred tax asset account with a balance of $76,000 at the end of 2019 due to a single cumulative temporar

gavmur [86]

Answer:

a. Debit Credit

deferred income taxes $5,400

Income tax expense $155,600

Income tax payable $161,000

b. No valuation account related to the deferred tax asset is in existence at the end of 2019, therefore no record should be make

Explanation:

a. In order to record the income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2017 we would have to make the following calculations as follows:

deferred income taxes=($407,000×20%)-$76,000

deferred income taxes=$5,400

Income tax payable=$805,000×20%

Income tax payable=$161,000

Income tax expense=$161,000-$5,400

Income tax expense=$155,600

Therefore, the record of income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2017, assuming that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized in full would be as follows:

Debit Credit

deferred income taxes $5,400

Income tax expense $155,600

Income tax payable $161,000

b. No valuation account related to the deferred tax asset is in existence at the end of 2019, therefore no record should be make

Ari is currently consuming 10 hot dogs and 8 hamburgers per week. The last hot dog she consumed yielded 20 utils while the last

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Yes, there is no need to change the eatings habits

Explanation:

Ari will maximize utility until

MU / P for both is equal in order to be at equilibrium

So, in this case,

For Hot dogs

= MU / P

where

MU is marginal utils, which is 20

P is Price, which is $2

So,

= 20 / $2

= 10

For Hamburgers

= MU / P

where

MU is marginal utils, which is 25

P is Price, which is $2.5

So,

= 25 / $2.5

= 10

Therefore, MU / P for hot dog = MU / P for Hamburger

Hence, there is not need to change the eatings habits.
