A manager must make a decision on shipping. There are two shippers: A and B. Both offer a two-day rate: A for $514, and B for $5

27. In addition, A offers a three-day rate of $472 and a nine-day rate of $407, and B offers a four-day rate of $458 and a seven-day rate of $424. Annual holding costs are 31 percent of unit price. Three hundred and sixty boxes are to be shipped, and each box has a price of $146. Which shipping alternative would you recommend

Answer:

Ship two-day using A ship

Explanation:

It is given that :

Total number of boxes to be shipped = 360 boxes

Cost of annual holding  = 31%

                                       = 0.31

Price for each box = $ 146

∴ Cost of total boxes = 146 x 360

                                    = $52,560

∴ Total holding cost = 0.31 x 52560

                                  = $ 16,293.60

Now the holding cost for one day = $\frac{16,293.60}{365}$ days

                                                       = 44.640  per day

For shipper A

Shipping cost + days x holding cost

Cost for 2 days = 514 + 2 x 44.640 = $ 603.28

Cost for 3 days = 472 + 3 x 44.640 = $ 605.92

Cost for 9 days = 407 + 9 x 44.640 = $ 808.76

Similarly for shipper B

Shipping cost + days x holding cost

Cost for 2 days = 527 + 2 x 44.640 = $ 616.28

Cost for 4 days = 458 + 4 x 44.640 = $ 636.56

Cost for 7 days = 424 + 7 x 44.640 = $ 736.48

Thus from above we can conclude that choosing Ship A for two days is the correct option.

A hair stylist currently cuts and colors hair for 50 clients per week and earns a profit. He is considering expanding his operat
Leviafan [203]

The decision to expand depends on the marginal cost of serving more clients and the marginal revenue he will earn from serving more clients.

<h3>What is marginal cost and marginal revenue?</h3>

Marginal revenue is the change in total revenue when output is increased by one unit. Marginal cost is the change in total cost when consumption is increased by one unit.  

Economic theory suggests that output should be increased if the marginal revenue exceeds the marginal cost. If marginal cost is greater than marginal revenue, the business should not be expanded. Profit is maximised when marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost.

During a certain six-year period, the consumer price index (CPI) increased by 50%, but during the next sis-year period, it incre
liberstina [14]

Answer:

D. Deflation

Explanation:

"Consumer Price Index" <em>(CPI)</em> measures the changes in the weighted average of prices of a market basket (consisting of consumer goods and services). It tells the<u> cost of living for every consumer. </u>

"Inflation" refers to the sustained increase of prices of goods and services while "deflation" refers to the sustained decrease of prices of goods and services.

In the situation above, the CPI is considered lower than before, thus <u>deflation</u> must have occurred during the second six-year period. It shows a <u>negative inflation rate.</u>

So, this explains the answer.

Prior to liquidating their partnership, Joyce and Xi had capital accounts of $50,000 and $105,000, respectively. Prior to liquid
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Joyce cash distribution   = $262500

Explanation:

given data

Joyce capital = $50,000

Xi capital = $105,000

liabilities = $10,000

assets sold = $190,000

to find out

we consider Determine the amount received by Joyce as a final distribution from liquidation of the partnership

solution

we carrying value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation is

value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation = $50,0000 + $105,000 + $10,000

value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation =  $615000

so Profit on Liquidation  is = value of non-cash asset prior to liquidation - Sale of Asset

Profit on Liquidation  is = $615000 - $190,000

Profit on Liquidation  is = $ 425000

and here since

Joyce and Xi share income and losses equally

so Joyce share of profit will be

Joyce share of profit  = 50% × $ 425000

Joyce share of profit  = $212500

and

so Joyce cash distribution  will be

Joyce cash distribution  = Joyce share of profit + Joyce capital

Joyce cash distribution   = $212500 + $50,000

Joyce cash distribution   = $262500

Asset A and B have expected returns of 5% and 3% per year respectively. Their annual volatilities are both 20% and the correlati
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

1. Weight of A=0.5, Weight of B= 0.5

2. Asset A has the highest shape ratio. The weight of A and B in the optimal risky portfolio that has the highest shape ratio is:

Weight of A= 0.105, Weight of B= 0.895

Explanation:

Expected return of Asset A= 5%Expected return of Asset A= 5%

Expected return of Asset B= 3%

Annual volatilities of Asset A= 20%

Annual votalities of Asset B= 20%

1. Correlation coefficient = 30% = 0.3 < 1

Risk Free Rate = 1% =0.01

1. Weight of A and B in portfolio with minimal risk is:

Weight of A= β^2B - Cov (XAXB) /β^2A + β^2B - 2Cov (XAXB)

Therefore,

CovXAXB = PAB (Volatility of A) (Volatility of B)

= 0.3 × 0.2 × 0.2

= 0.012

Hence,

Weight of A= (0.2)^2 - 0.012 / (0.2)^2 + (0.2)^2 - 2(0.012)

Weight of A= 0.04 - 0.012 / 0.04 + 0.04 - 0.024

= 0.028/ 0.08 - 0.024

= 0.028/ 0.056

=0.5

Weight of A = 0.5

Weight of B= 1 - Weight of A

Weight of B= 1 - 0.5

Weight of B= 0.5

2. Shape ratio of A= RA - Rf / β

= 0.05 - 0.01 / 2

= 0.04/2

= 0.02 =20%

Shape ratio of B= RB - Rf / β

= 0.03 - 0.01/ 2

0.02 / 2

=0.01 = 10%

So, Asset A has the highest shape ratio

Cov (XAXB) = PAB (Volatility of A) (Volatility of B)

= 0.03 × 0.2 × 0.1

= 0.006

Weight of A= β^2B - Cov (XAXB) /β^2A + β^2B - 2Cov (XAXB)

Weight of A = (0.1)^2 - 0.006 / (0.2)^2 + (0.1)^2 - 2(0.006)

= 0.01 - 0.006 / 0.04 +0.01 - 0.012

= 0.004/ 0.05 - 0.012

= 0.004/ 0.038

= 0.105

Weight of A = 0.105

Weight of B= 1 - 0.105

Weight of B= 0.895
