Answer:
400; 800
Explanation:
Contribution:
Product X:
= Selling price - Variable cost
= 100 - 70
= 30,
Product Y:
= Selling price - Variable cost
= 80 - 40
= 40,
Product Z:
= Selling price - Variable cost
= 25 - 20
= 5
Machine hours required :
Product X:
= Machine time per unit × Monthly demand
= 3 × 300
= 900,
Product Y:
= Machine time per unit × Monthly demand
= 2 × 200
= 400,
Product Z:
= Machine time per unit × Monthly demand
= 1 × 500
= 500
Contribution per machine hour:
Product X = Contribution ÷ Machine time per unit
= 30 ÷ 3
= 10,
Product Y = Contribution ÷ Machine time per unit
= 40 ÷ 2
= 20,
Product Z = Contribution ÷ Machine time per unit
= 5 ÷ 1
= 5
It is highest for Y, so produce maximum amount of Y, then X and then Z
Y needs 400 hrs, we are left with 800 hours, so produce 800 hours of X.
Answer: d. both Iris and Daphne will want to purchase Joss's services but Joss will not be willing to undertake the job.
Explanation:
Iris will want Joss's services but they will be unable to afford them as Iris is only willing to pay $500 whereas Joss wants $1,200 for the job.
The same goes for Daphne who is only willing to pay $800.
Both of them will therefore want to hire Joss but will be unable to.
Joss could however charge both of them their willingness to pay and then sum the cash up and give them both the research whilst still making a profit.
Answer:
0.147 or 14.7%
Explanation:
Equity (E) =$7
Debt (D) = $1
Cost of equity capital (Ce) = 0.16
Pretax cost of debt (Cd) = 0.08
Tax rate (r) = 0.3
The weighted average cost of capital of the firm is given by the following relationship:
The weighted average cost of capital of the firm is 0.147 or 14.7%.
