Answer: (A)
If both companies collude and agree on the best joint strategy, then neither of them will advertise.
Explanation:
If PM Inc. and Brown Inc. agree on a strategy that is best for both of them, then they would decide not to advertise as this line of action will earn them both $50 million, which is higher than they stand to earn if they both advertise.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $396,000
Department:
Consumer= 700
Commercia= 300
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 396,000/1,000= $396 per loan processed.
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 396*300= $118,800
Answer:
the present vlaue of the ledased property = $251,298
Explanation:
the free market value in 10 years = ($27,500 x (1 + 2%)¹⁰) / 10% = $335,223
free cash flows year 1 - 9 = $24,000
free cash flow year 10 = $359,223
discoutn rate = 11.5%
using a financial calculator, the present value of the property = $251,298
Answer:
a) safety stock = z-score x √lead time x standard deviation of demand
z-score for 99.9% = 3.29053
√lead time = √7 = 2.6458
standard deviation of demand = 3
safety stock = 3.29053 x 2.6458 x 3 = 26.12 ≈ 26 soaps
reorder point = lead time demand + safety stock = (7 x 16) + 26 = 138 soaps
EOQ = √[(2 x S x D) / H]
S = order cost = $10
D = annual demand = 16 x 365 = 5,840
H = $0.05
EOQ = √[(2 x $10 x 5,840) / $0.05] = 1,528.40 ≈ 1,528 soaps
b) total order costs per year = (5,840 / 1,528) x $10 = $38.22
total holding costs = (1,528 / 2) x $0.05 = $38.20
total annual ordering and holding costs = $76.42
