Answer:

setup cost = $1.75

setup time = 2.625 min

Explanation:

given data

firm operates = 250 days per year

Annual demand = 22,000

Daily demand = 88

Daily production = 250

Desired lot size = 63 (2 hours of production)

Holding cost = $40 per unit per year

to find out

setup cost and setup time

solution

we find first setup cost that is express as

setup cost = $\frac{Q^2*H*(1-\frac{d}{p})}{2D}$ ......................1

here Q is Desired lot size and H is Holding cost and d is Daily demand and D is Annual demand and p is Daily production

put here value

setup cost = $\frac{63^2*40*(1-\frac{88}{250})}{2*22000}$

setup cost = $\frac{2969*40*(0.648)}{44000}$

setup cost = $1.75

and

setup time is

setup time = $\frac{setup\ cost}{setup\ labor}$ ....................2

setup time = $\frac{1.75*60min/hr}{40}$

setup time = 2.625 min

Answer: $223,500,000

Explanation:

An Initial Public Offering is the first issuance of a Company's stock to the world. It is usually done through an Investment bank that underwrites the issuing and sells it at a price that they feel is right based on their Research.

In this scenario, the Underwriter thinks the amount that the stock should be offered at is $22.55 and so that is the price it will be offered at.

10,000,000 shares are to be offered.

$2,000,000 is to be taken as fees by the Underwriter.

The total money the company will make will therefore be,

= ( No. Of shares offered * Share Price) - Underwriting Fee

= (10,000,000 * 22.55) - 2,000,000

= 225,500,000 - 2,000,000

= $223,500,000

Expansionary monetary policy : these are polices taken in order to increase money supply. When money supply increases, aggregate demand increases. reducing interest rate and open market purchase are ways of carrying out expansionary monetary policy

Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank

Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits

Excess reserves is the extra that it kept by banks

Money supply = deposit / total reserves

total reserves = 30 + 10 = 40%
