Answer:

a lot is missing in this question, so I looked for a similar one:

Howie buys prefabricated fiberglass hot tub shells from a local supplier and adds the pump and tubing to the shells to create his hot tubs.  (This supplier has the capacity to deliver as many hot tub shells as Howie needs.)  Howie installs the same type of pump into both hot tubs.  

He will have only 200 pumps available during his next production cycle.  From a manufacturing standpoint, the main difference between the two models of hot tubs is the amount of tubing and labor required.  Each Aqua-Spa requires 9 hours of labor and 12 feet of tubing.  Each Hydro-Lux requires 6 hours of labor and 16 feet of tubing.  Howie expects to have 1,520 production labor hours and 2,650 feet of tubing available during the next production cycle.   Howie earns a profit of $350 on each Aqua-Spa he sells and $300 on each Hydro-Lux he sells.

you have to maximize the following equation: 350A + 300H

where:

A = number of Aqua-Spa hot tubs sold

H = number of Hydro-Lux hot tubs sold

the constraints are:

A + H ≤ 200

9A + 6H ≤ 1,520

12A + 16H ≤ 2,650

A ≥ 0

B ≥ 0

both A and B are integers

Using solver, the optimal solution is: 117A + 77B, and the maximum profit = $64,050

alex41 [277]
Formula for the monthly payment:
M = P * r * ( 1 + r )^n / (( 1 + r )^n + 1 )
where:  P = $100,000    r = 0.12 : 12 = 0.01      n =12 * 5 = 60
M = 100,000 * 0.01 * ( 1 + 0.01 )^60 / (( 1 + 0.01 )^60 + 1 ) =
= 1,000 * ( 1.01 )^60 / (( 1.01 )^60 + 1 ) =
= 1,000 * 1.8167 / 0.8167 = 1,000 * 2.22444  =
= $2,224.44
The monthly payment is $2,224.44.

Rick Wing has a repetitive manufacturing plant producing automobile steering wheels. Use the following data to prepare for a red
Ilya [14]

Answer:

$5.74

Explanation:

Q* = 2DS / H[1-(d/p)]

Q² = 2DS / H[1-(d/p)]

S = (Q²)(H)[1 - (d/p) / 2D

Setup cost S = (200^2)*(10)*(1 - (100/800)) / 2*30,500

Setup cost S = 40000*10*0.875 / 61000

Setup cost S = 350000 / 61000

Setup cost S = 5.737704918032787

Setup cost S = $5.74

What are Costco business perks?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

There are several perks or troubles that Costco business faces.

Explanation:

The first of these perks is the intense competition from other large retailers like Walmart, Target, or Best Buy. While Costco does have a niche: it tends to sell higher quality poducts for a slightly higher price, the competition is nevertheless stiff because that niche does not apply for all product lines that are sold.

The second perk is also competition, from online retailers, especially Amazon, which is larger than any traditional retailer, but also from a myriad of smaller retailers that emerge constantly in the online market, since the internet provides very few barriers to entry for new competitors.

Finally, the third peak is consumer preferences, and that is because consumers are constantly changing their tastes and preferences, especially in developed countries like the U.S. This means that Costco has to constantly adapt to new product lines, and discard other lines.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

A : balance sheet only

Explanation:

In the given question, the truck was purchased on credit and the truck is a fixed asset that comes under the balance sheet only because in the income statement, the expenses and revenues are recorded whereas retained earnings records profit which is left to the company.
