Answer:
Answer for the question:
A product can be produced on four different machines. Each machine has a fixed setup cost (incurred only if the machine is used), a variable production cost per unit processed, and a production capacity (see the table below). A total of 2000 units of the product must be produced. Formulate an IP whose solution will tell us how to minimize total costs.
Machine Fixed Cost Variable Cost per Unit Capacity
1 1000 20 900
2 900 25 1000
3 800 16 1100
4 700 30 2000
is given in the attachment.
Explanation:
This question is usually asked during job interviews. The interviewer wants to know what skills and knowledge do you have that will help him/her tell if the job is really suitable for you. You will just have to enumerate the technical skills you are confident on based on your experience and previous lessons.
It is C so uh yeah okay :)
Answer:
As the required rate of return of the security (9.52%) is more than the expected rate of return (8%), the security or stock is overpriced.
Option b is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A security is underpriced when the required rate of return of the security is less than the expected rate of return and vice versa.
Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.
The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
r = 0.04 + 0.92 * (0.1 - 0.04)
r = 0.0952 or 9.52%
As the required rate of return of the security (9.52%) is more than the expected rate of return (8%), the security or stock is overpriced.
Answer:
a. 15,500 units
b. 6,200 bats and 9,300 gloves
Explanation:
Fixed costs (F)=$620.000
Sales mix=40% bats and 60% gloves
Selling price of bats (Sb) =$90
Variable cost of bats (Vb) =$50
Selling price of gloves(Sg) =$105
Variable cost of gloves (Vg)=$65
The average contribution (C) per unit can be determined as:
In order to reach the break-even point the total contribution of 'n' units must equal fixed costs:
Since we know the sales mix, the number of bats (B) and gloves (G) are:
At the break-even point, 6,200 bats and 9,300 gloves would be sold.
