If an undergraduate student was considering getting a tattoo and stopped to ask herself what her parents would think of such beh

Answer: The answers are:

A) $200,000.

B) $258,881.

C) $177,399.

Explanation: The values for the financial calculator are:

Future value = $ 200.000.

Payment = $ 200,000 x 0.10 = $ 20,000.

n = 5 x 2 = 10. (Semesters in 5 years).

YTM = (a) 10 percent, (b) 6 percent, and (c) 12 percent.

A) Present value = $200,000.

B) Present value = $258,881.

C) Present value = $177,399.

Answer:

additional revenue = $26,250

relevant costs:

direct materials = 350 x $82 = $28,700

direct labor = 525 x $15 = $7,875

setup hours = 1 x $5 = $5

inspection costs = 20 x $5 = $100

machining = 175 x $3 = $525

total relevant costs = $37,205

1) change in income if order is accepted:

total revenue - total relevant costs = $26,250 - $37,205 = -$10,955

the company will incur a loss of $10,955 if the order is approved.

2) if the cost of direct materials is decreased by $13 per unit = $13 x 350 = $4,550, and if direct labor can be reduced by 0.5 hours per unit = 175 hours (= 175 x $15 = $2,625) ⇒ total relevant costs will be lowered by $7,175.

It results in a $3,780 (= $10,955 - $7,175) loss if the special order is accepted.

Answer:

a) the small bus

b) the medium or large bus

c) the small bus

Explanation:

a) using the maximin criterion, the manager aims to maximize the least possible profit (a pessimistic approach), which results in the following profits:

Bus size Demand

Low Medium High

Small 50 60 70 → minimum profit = 50

Medium 40 80 90 → minimum profit = 40

Large 20 50 120 → minimum profit = 20

Thus, the optimal choice yielding the highest minimum profit is the small bus.

b) applying the maximin criterion, the manager will seek to minimize potential maximum losses, determining losses based on the best profit scenario:

Bus size Demand

Low Medium High

Small 0 -20 -50 → maximum loss = -50

Medium -10 0 -30 → maximum loss = -30

Large -30 -30 0 → maximum loss = -30

Hence, the option that bears the least maximum loss is either the medium or large bus.

c) for calculating the expected value of each option:

small = 30/100*50 + 30/100*60 + 40/100*70 = 61

medium = 30/100*40 + 30/100*80 + 40/100*90 = 72

large = 30/100*20 + 30/100*50 + 40/100*120 = 69

The small bus turns out to be the best choice, as it has the highest expected profit.

Response:

Total Sales= $3,000,000

Clarification:

Based on the following details:

The expectation is to sell 10,000 mattresses over the current year, with 1,000 mattresses available in finished goods inventory at the previous year's close. Armando aims to end this year with at least 1,250 finished mattresses in inventory. There won't be any leftover work-in-process inventory. Each mattress retails for $300.

Production:

Sales projected= 10,000

Ending inventory goal= 1,250

Beginning inventory= (1,000)

Total needed= 10,250

Sales therefore total= 10,000*300= $3,000,000
