Answer:

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Dimension    Importance   Spike      Olaf             Andy

Cost                 4                 4 (1*4)     20 (5*4)      12 (3*4)

Reliability         2                10 (5*2)     4 (2*2)        6 (3*2)

Cost                 3                 9 (3*3)      9 (3*3)       12 (4*3)

Total weighted scores    23             33               30

b) Based on the total weighted scores, Olaf Manufacturing performed best among the three companies.  It should be chosen.  To obtain the weighted scores for each company, the scale it obtains under each dimension is multiplied by the importance of the dimension.  This is done for each dimension and each company before the total weighted scores are obtained and the company with the highest score is adjudged the winner.

Current Attempt in Progress Incorrect answer icon Your answer is incorrect. Carla Willis will invest $34,700 today. She needs $1
Nitella [24]

Answer:

12.18%

Explanation:

Present value = $34,700

Future Value = $173,500

Time (n) = 14 years

Interest Rate = i

Future Value = Present Value * (1+i)^n

$173,500 = $34,700 * (1 + i)^14

(1 + i)^14 = $173,500/$34,700

(1 + i)^14 = 5

1 + i = 5^(1/14)

1 + i = 1.1218284

i = 1.1218284 - 1

i = 0.1218284

i = 12.18%

So, the annual interest rate she must earn is 12.18%.

In 2019, Bonita Industries sold 3000 units at $1000 each. Variable expenses were $700 per unit, and fixed expenses were $780000.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Bonita’s break-even point in units for 2020 is 812.50 units.

Explanation:

Break-even point in units refers to the number of units of commodity that must sold by a company in order for its cost to be equal to revenue and therefore make no profit but also no loss. This can be determined for Bonita Industries as follows:

Selling price in 2020 = Selling price in 2019 * (100% - Percentage cut in selling price) = $1,000 * (100% - 40%) = $1,000 * 96% = $960

Variable expenses = $700

Fixed expenses = $780,000

Contribution per unit = Selling price in 2020 - Variable expenses = $960 - $700 = $260

Bonita’s break-even point in units for 2020 = Fixed expenses / Contribution per unit = $780,000 / $960 = 812.50 units

Therefore, Bonita’s break-even point in units for 2020 is 812.50 units.
