uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

C. breakbulk cargo

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this type of cargo is called breakbulk cargo. Like mentioned in the question, this type simply refers to general cargo that does not fit into traditional shipping containers or cargo bins, or exceeds the weight maximum for containers and must be shipped separately. Such cargo can include oversized vehicles, boats, cranes, turbine blades, ship propellers, generators, or even large engines.

Derrick Iverson is a divisional manager for Holston Company. His annual pay raises are largely determined by his division’s retu

almond37 [142]

Answer:

a. Project's net present value is $1,015,163.09

b. Simple rate of return is 15%

c. Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.

d. No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.

Explanation:

a. Compute the project's net present value.

To compute this, we first calculate the annual cash inflow as follows:

Annual cash inflow = Net operating income + Depreciation = $452,000 + $828,000 = $1,,280,000

Now, the project's net present value can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the annual cash flow = ?

P = Annual cash inflow = $1,280,000

r = Discount rate = 17%, or 0.17

n = Equipment useful years = 5

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $1,280,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.17)]^5} / 0.17]

PV = $4,095,163.09

Project's net present value = PV - Project's initial investment = $4,095,163.09 - $3,080,000 = $1,015,163.09

b. Compute the project's simple rate of return

This can be computed as follows:

Simple rate of return = Net operating income / Initial investment = $452,000 / $3,080,000 = 0.15, or 15%

c. Would the company want Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity?

Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.

Note that had it been the net present value of the project was negative, the company would not want to Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity since the decision of the company is based on whether the project's NPV is positive or negative.

d. Would Derrick be inclined to pursue this investment opportunity?

No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.

Pursuing this investment opportunity will therefore reduce the Overall ROI of the division and Derrick will not get annual pay raises if this happens.

Productivity measurement is complicated by

CaHeK987 [17]

Productivity measurement is complicated by the fact the precise units of measure are often unavailable. When you are managing productivity it can vary based on each task or the person completing the tasks. Because of this, it makes it complicated for management to measure productivity as there could be no units or no comparable units to measure. Productivity is better reflected on the outcome of what they do complete versus what they do not.

A manufacturer is contemplating a switch from buying to producing a certain item. Setup cost would be the same as ordering cost.

Flauer [41]

Answer

D) compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be approx 30% lower.

Explanation

EOQ = √(2*Co*D/Cc)

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/(Cc*(1-x)))

x=D/P

D = demand rate

P =production rate

Co=ordering cost

Cc=holding cost

1) The production rate would be about double the usage rate.

hence, P = 2D

x=D/2D=0.5

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/((1-0.5)*Cc))

EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/0.5Cc)

EPQ=√ (1/0.5)*EOQ

EPQ=√ (2)*EOQ

EPQ=1.41*EOQ

Hence, EPQ is around 40% larger than EOQ.

Ans.: c) EPQ will be approximately 40% larger than the EOQ.

2) Compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be

maximum inventory = Q

EPQ = 1.41 EOQ

EPQ = 1.41*Q

Q=EPQ/1.41

Q=0.71 EPQ

Hence, compared to EOQ, maximum inventory in EPQ is only 70% of that in EOQ model.

The average time (in minutes) Americans spend commuting to work is: 26.9 minutes.

<h3>How to calculate the average time Americans spend commuting to work?</h3>

To calculate the average time we must add all the values and then divide the result by the number of values. for example:

1 + 2 + 3 = 6 6 ÷ 3 = 2

Based on the above, the operation to find the average time Americans spend commuting to work is:

23,3 + 28,3 + 24,6 + 32,1 + 31,7 + 25,8 + 38,1 + 24,9 + 26,8 + 23,4 + 28,5 + 28,1 + 29,3 + 24,4 + 23,0 + 24,8 + 26,2 + 23,4 + 28,4 + 20,1 + 32,2 + 21,4 + 23,8 + 30,7 + 24,8 + 23,6 + 25,3 + 31,7 + 43,8 + 22,0 + 27,1 + 34,2 + 28,3 + 25,0 + 26,4 + 23,6 + 23,4 + 25,8 + 20,2 + 26,1 + 24,8 + 32,6 + 28,5 + 27,3 + 26,8 + 24,0 + 20,1 + 32,8 = 1291,5

Then we must divide this result by the number of values.

1291,5 ÷ 48 = 26,9
