Answer:

Crystal Displays Inc.

The amount of desired profit from the production and sale of the flat panel displays is:

= $225,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Investment in assets = $1,500,000

Production and sales units = 5,000

Cost of production and sales:

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials                    $120  

Direct labor                              30

Factory overhead                    50

Selling and

administrative expenses        35

Total variable cost per unit $235

Fixed costs:

Factory overhead                             $250,000

Selling and administrative expenses 150,000

Total fixed costs                              $400,000

Total production costs:

Variable production costs =  $1,000,000 (5,000 * $200)

Fixed factory overhead             250,000

Total production costs          $1,250,000

Total selling and administrative expenses:

Variable selling and admin.     $175,000

Fixed selling and admin.            150,000

Total selling and admin. exp. $325,000

Total costs of production and sales = $1,575,000

Target return on invested assets =         225,000 ($1,500,000 * 15%)

Total expected sales revenue =          $1,800,000

Price per unit = $360 ($1,800,000/5,000)

Explanation:

Ethan's Eggroll House

Life of computer is 5 years and the rate used is 20%

Life of oven is 7 years and the rate used is 14.29%

Depreciation

Computer

= $300

Oven

= $1200 x 14.29%

= $171

Access to lifesaving medicine is very limited in parts of Africa; as a result, over 10% of children do not reach the age of five
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Some African countries have mortality rates over 10%. For example, according to the most recent CIA estimates, in countries like Somalia, Central African Republic, Niger and Chad, there are around 90 deaths per 1,000 live births, which is a lot.

This extremely high mortality rate affects economic growth in the long run. First of all, most economists agree that human capital is the most important form of capital, and the one that helps boost economic growth the most.

Every child who dies is potential human capital loss (and a moral tragedy as well).

If medical aid increased in those African countries, and less children died at a young age, those children would help develop the economies. However, education is also needed. If the children survive but are not well-educated, they will not be very productive in the modern economy, which is knowledge-oriented.

"Find the amount of each payment to be made into a sinking fund which earns 7​% compounded quarterly and produces ​$50 comma 000
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Quarterly deposit= $3,182.78

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A sinking fund earns 7​% compounded quarterly and produces ​$50,000 at the end of 3.5 years.

We need to find the quarterly deposit made at the end of each period.

<u>First, we need to calculate the quarterly interest rate:</u>

Interest rate= 0.07/4= 0.0175

To calculate the deposit, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= quarterly deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

n= 3.5*4= 14

FV= 50,000

i= 0.0175

A= (50,000*0.0175)/ [(1.0175^14)-1]= $3,182.78

Given the following historical demand, what is the weighted moving average forecast (0.4, 0.3, 0.3) for Week 6?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The correct option is B. 9200.

Explanation:

This can simply be answered as follows:

F_{6} =(D_{5}*W_{5})+(D_{4}*W_{4})+(D_{3}*W_{3}) .................. (1)

Where:

F_{6} = Weighted moving average forecast (0.4, 0.3, 0.3) for Week 6 = ?

D_{5} = Week 5 demand = 11,000

D_{4} = Week 4 demand = 9,000

D_{3} = Week 3 demand = 7,000

The (0.4, 0.3, 0.3) implies that:

W_{5}  = Weight of Week 5 demand = 0.4

W_{4}  = Weight of Week 4 demand = 0.3

W_{3}  = Weight of Week 3 demand = 0.3

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

F_{6} = (11,000 * 0.40) + (9,000 * 0.30) + (7,000 * 0.30) = 9,200

Therefore, the correct option is B. 9200.
