Answer:
Problem Analysis
Explanation:
Problem analysis also known as 'root cause' analysis ensures that “root causes,” not just the symptoms of the problem, are identified and subsequently addressed.
This step comes after the problem identification stage of problem solving.
Therefore as stated in the scenario ''When Glenn analyzes the underlying causes of the paper-jam problem, he is performing the function of problem analysis
This question is a bit tricky to answer because it does not state how often interest rate is applied so lets say for the simple 5% interest rate the rate of interest was calculated after 2 years you would pay a total interest of $15 since interest was only calculated once but for the 3% calculating every year with compound it would be a total of 18.27 dollars in interest but then you would have to calculate the 5% simple interest the same way which would total to $30 if calculated once a year being more than the 3% compound. But lets say interest is calculated once a month your total for the 5% simple interest would be $360 dollars interest for those 2 years and the 3% compound would be $406.97 dollars in interest. So over all the less amount of times interest compounds the less interest there is making it more worth than the simple but if the compounding occurs more frequently the simple 5% interest is more worth it. In this situation I think it might just be yearly interest which makes the 3% compound more worth taking for this short amount of time.
Answer:
The benefit cost ratio is 1.564
Explanation:
The benefit-cost ratio is the ratio of the present value of benefits to the present value of costs. It is thus calculated as follows.
Benefit-cost ratio = Present value of benefits / Present value of costs
Present value of costs = $20,000 + $2,500 (P/A, 10%, 10 years)
= $20,000 + $15,361
= $35,361
Present value of benefits = $9,000 (P/A, 10%, 10 years)
= $9,000 x 6.145
= $55,305
Benefit-cost ratio = $55,305 / $35,361
= 1.564
Answer:
a) Contribution from the special order= $52,640.
b) Stuart should accept the order
Explanation:
The amount of contribution to profit from the special order is the difference between the revenue and the relevant cost of variable cost of the special order.
The relevant cost of the special order is equal the sum of all variable cost only.
Note that the allocated facility overhead is irrelevant to whether to accept or reject the order. This is so because the costs would still be incurred either way.
Relevant variable costs of special order = (880 + 510) × 47 = $65,330
Sales revenue = 2,510 × 47 = $117,970.00
Contribution from the special order =$117,970.00 - $65,330
= $52,640.00
B) Stuart should accept the special order because it would increase its profit by $52,640.
