Sloan Transmissions, Inc., has the following estimates for its new gear assembly project: price = $2,900 per unit; variable cost

s = $580 per unit; fixed costs = $5.2 million; quantity = 88,000 units. Suppose the company believes all of its estimates are accurate only to within ±15 percent. What values should the company use for the four variables given here when it performs its best-case scenario analysis? What about the worst-case scenario?

Answer:

in its best case scenario:

selling price = $2,900 + 15% = $3,335 per unit

variable costs = $580 - 15% = $493 per unit

fixed costs = $5.2 million - 15% = $4.42 million

quantity = 88,000 + 15%  = 101,200 units

estimated profits in best case scenario = $337,502,000 - $49,891,600 - $4,420,000 = $283,190,400

in its worst case scenario:

selling price = $2,900 - 15% = $2,465 per unit

variable costs = $580 + 15% = $667 per unit

fixed costs = $5.2 million + 15% = $5.98 million

quantity = 88,000 - 15%  = 74,800 units

estimated profits in best case scenario = $184,382,000 - $49,891,600 - $5,980,000 = $128,510,400

The firm is still profitable because the contribution margin is huge even in the worst case scenario. In he best case scenario the break even point is 1,556 units, while the break even point in the worst case scenario is 3,326 units. It's a very low break even point considering total expected sales.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Transformation process.

Explanation:

When a line cook in a restaurant uses raw meat to cook a hamburger that becomes part of the restaurant's Super Burger Special, the cook is taking part in a transformation process.

A transformation process can be defined as the capabilities possessed by an organization, which are then integrated into technology, internal processes, and management, for the singular purpose of converting inputs into outputs in order to meet the needs or requirements of their customers.

In this scenario, the cook uses raw meat as an input in the creation of an output, which is the restaurant's Super Burger Special.

A new labor-saving technology will likely result in..... Group of answer choices Lower wage share of output and lower Gini coeff
jekas [21]

Answer:

Higher unemployment, lower wage share of output, and higher Gini coefficient in the long run.

Explanation:

Since less labor will be used, total unemployment will increase. Besides less labor being used, more capital will be used, so the share of labor in total output will decrease. Labor efficiency increases, since you need less labor to produce the same or even a larger amount of output.

New technologies tend to increase the wages of high skilled labor and management. Since the Gini coefficient measures income inequality, then higher wages for a few will increase inequality.  

This is an example of what is happening in the US, where highly trained labor is getting paid better every time while unskilled labor is getting paid the same as many years ago or their wage has even decreased with time. This shows how important a college education is, and the difference will only keep increasing.

Service, repair work, and accessories may be important considerations in a consumer's decision to purchase a particular shopping
xenn [34]

Answer:

True (1)

Explanation:

In deciding whether to buy a particular product, it is important to consider  below pertinent issues :

Serviceability : questions need to  be asked whether the product can be serviced regularly to keep it in usable condition and possible cost of servicing must as well  be considered.

Repairability  : Seller must be asked if the product is repairable in case it is faulty.

Accessories : Availability of accessories in the market must be confirmed from the seller in case we need to replace any part.

Failure to sort out above  issues before buying  may result in wasting of money at the end of the day even though product might have been bought  at a cheaper lock-in price.

A Caterpillar tractor acquired on January 12 at a cost of $171,000 has an estimated useful life of 25 years. Assuming that it wi
Kay [80]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method is shown below:-

Depreciation

= (Assets cost - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life

= ($171,000 - 0) ÷ 25

= $6,840

For First year = $6,840

For Second year = $6,840

It would be the same for the remaining useful life

b. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the double-declining-balance method is shown below:-

First we have to determine the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= One ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 25

= 4%

Now the rate is double So, 8%

In year 1, the original cost is $171,000, so the depreciation is $13,680 after applying the 8% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the ($171,000 - $13,680) × 8% = $12,585.60
