Homeless: 
10 – t^2 /320 > 0
10 > t^2 /320
3200 > t^2 
t < 40√2 = 56.6 
College students: 
10 – t^2 /160 > 0
10 > t^2 /160
1600 > t^2 
t < 40
Wait time would have to be at least 40 minutes to prevent college students from waiting.

Giving the following information:

Future Value (FV)= $150,000

Interest rate (i)= 8.75% = 0.0875

Number of periods (n)= 30

<u>To calculate the present value (PV), we need to use the following formula:</u>

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 150,000 / (1.0875^30)

PV= $12,111.93

Sergeu [11.5K]

I believe the answer is:  B. Networking cover letter

Networking cover letter is sent in order to obtain help from other people in similar industry as you to introduce you to potential employers. Such letters tend to massively increase the likelihood of you obtaining the job since in the employer's perspective, you are a person that his/her friends had trusted and vouch for.

Splish Company purchased a computer for $9,920 on January 1, 2019. Straight-line depreciation is used, based on a 5-year life an
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

$2914

Explanation:

The following steps would be taken to determine the answer

1. Calculate depreciation expense given the initial information  

2. calculate the accumulated depreciation by the second year. Accumulated depreciation is sum of depreciation expense

3. subtract the accumulated depreciation from the cost price of the asset. This would give the book value  

4. calculate the depreciation expense using the new information and the book value

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($9,920 - $1240) / 5 =  $1736

Accumulated depreciation = 1736 x 2 = $3472

Book value at the beginning of 2021 = 9920 - 3472 = $6448

Depreciation expense in 2021 = (6448 - 620) / 2 = $2914

Consider consecutive processes A-B-C, where process A has a capacity of 20 units per hour, process B has a capacity of 25 units
g100num [7]

Answer:

The operation manager would want the inventory in front of process A based on the lean system.

Explanation:

To fully understand the basis on which we chose the answer, we need to define what a lean system is.

A Lean system refers to a business process plan. More a of business model canvass that meticulously deal with business process plan and development for the purpose of achieving maximum value in production, client and customer satisfaction while still at a reduced cost of running business.  It should also be noted that the lean system is mostly a continuum of existing process and subsequent process progress are mostly determined by the level of integrity attained by the primary design stage.

With the understanding gotten from the definition above, it then obvious from the narrative of the question that the process is consecutive. As such, follows a pattern of A to B to C and thus the level of integrity of process design achieved at A will be passed down to B and C.

This is the more reason why the operation manager will prefer to to want an inventory at A which is the primary point of start.
