Answer:
Find the explanation below.
Explanation:
The name of my organization is Prime Plc. known for the production of confectionaries. The Production Department in my organization has been experiencing frequent equipment failures quite recently. A close investigation showed that the delays were caused by a breakdown of the sugar mills, mixers and, coating machines. This has resulted in delays in the production process. To improve these failures, I believe that the organization should:
1. Employ Technicians who can quickly carry out repair work on these machines when they breakdown instead of outsourcing the repair work for this would take a longer amount of time to get the machines up and running.
2. Introduce the periodic maintenance of these machines. Machines are subject to wear and tear, so I would suggest that the maintenance of these machines is carried out within intervals of three months.
3. Train the production personnel on the proper usage of these machines. Production personnel should be updated on current and effective ways of handling machines so as to guarantee their safety and longer use.
4. Make provisions for backup machinery and equipment. The organization would do well to purchase backup equipment especially for machines that the organization cannot do without so that in the event of an equipment failure, the production process would not be stalled.
When these measures are considered, there would be a significant improvement in the production department.
Answer:
Effect on income= -$22,000 decrease
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Contribution margin $30,000
Fixed expenses ($40,000)
Net operating loss ($10,000)
<u>If a product line provides a positive contribution margin, generally it is convenient to continue production, at least in the short term.</u>
<u></u>
Effect on income= avoidable fixed costs - contribution margin
Effect on income= 8,000 - 30,000
Effect on income= -$22,000 decrease
Answer:
$5,225,417
Explanation:
first payment 800000
1 quarter 250000
2 quarters 254000
3 quarters 258064
4 quarters 262193
5 quarters 266388
6 quarters 270650
7 quarters 274981
8 quarters 279380
9 quarters 283851
10 quarters 288392
11 quarters 293006
12 quarters 297694
13 quarters 302458
14 quarters 307297
15 quarters 312214
16 quarters 317209
17 quarters 322284
18 quarters 327441
19 quarters 332680
20 quarters 338003
11% = (1 + i/4)⁴
i = 0.106
quarterly interest = 2.65%
Now we need to determine the present value of this annuity and our discount rate is 2.65%. I will use an excel spreadsheet to determine the present value of the 20 quarterly payments and then add the initial payment.
$4,425,417 + $800,000 = $5,225,417
