The president of a consulting firm wants to minimize the total number of hours it will take to complete four projects for a new

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

c. 24

d. Charlie to D; Betty to A; Johnny to C; Rick to B

e. 53 hours

Explanation:

She has four possible consultants for project A, after choosing one, she has three possible choices for project B, two for project C and is left with just one choice for project D. Therefore, the number of different ways she can assign these consultants is:

$n=4*3*2*1\\n=24\ ways$

There are 24 ways.

Since this is a multiple choice question, the simplest way to solve it is to test the given alternatives to find out which one yields the least number of hours:

$A = 13+14+22+17=66\\B=13+15+12+17=57\\C=13+15+12+22=62\\D=13+11+12+17=53\\E=11+11+15+17=54$

Therefore, alternative d. Charlie to D; Betty to A; Johnny to C; Rick to B is the optimal one.

As calculated above, it will take these consultants 53 hours to complete all projects.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in calendar year 2000, the average duration of unemployment was 12.7 weeks, with a

Verdich [7]

Answer:

0.8314

Explanation:

First, we are given the following

Unemployment during on Average = U= 12.7 weeks

Standard deviation= SD = 0.3 Weeks

Therefore, P (12 Greater than x Greater than 13)

= P (12-12.7 /0.3 Greater than X -U/SD Greter than 13-12.7/0.3)

= P (-0.7/0.3 Greater than Z Greater than 0.3/0.3)

= P (-2.33 Greater than Z Greater than 1)

= P (Z Greater than 1) - P (Z Greaer than -2.33)

At this Point we make use of he Z table to find out the figure

= 0.8413 - 0.0099

= 0.8314

Therrell Corporation has two divisions: Bulb Division and Seed Division. The following report is for the most recent operating p

amm1812

Answer:

a. For Bulb = $183,418.92

b. For Seed = $96,759.49

c. Break even = $336,144.74

Explanation:

Sales = Bulb Division + Seed Division

= $234,000 + $156,000

= $390,000

Variable Expense = Bulb Division + Seed Division

= $60,840 + $32,760

= $93,600

Contribution margin for bulb = Sales - Variable

= $234,000 - $60,840

= $173,160

Contribution margin for Seed division = Sales - Variable

= $156,000 - $32,760

= $123,240

Total = $390,000 - $93,600

= $296,400

Division Income for bulb = contribution margin - Traceable fixed expenses

= $173,160 - $135,730

= $37,430

Division Income for seed division = contribution margin - Traceable fixed expenses

= $123,240 - $76,440

= $46,800

Total of Division income = $296,400 - $212,170

= $84,230

Common Fixed expenses = $25,980 + $17,320

= $43,300

Income = Total of Division income - Common Fixed expenses

= $84,230 - $43,300

= $40,930

Contribution margin ratio for bulb = Contribution ÷ Sales × 100

= $173,160 ÷ $234,000 × 100

= 74.00%

Contribution margin ratio for seed = Contribution ÷ Sales × 100

= $123,240 ÷ $156,000 × 100

= 79%

Total Contribution margin ratio for bulb and seed = Contribution ÷ Sales × 100

= ($173,160 + $123,240) ÷ $390,000 × 100

= $296,400 ÷ $390,000 × 100

= 76%

a and b. Division’s break-even in sales dollars = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio

For Bulb = $183,418.92

For Seed = $96,759.49

c. company’s overall break - even in sales dollars

= (212170 + 43300) ÷ 76%

= $336,144.74
