A small copy center uses 4 590-sheet boxes of copy paper a week. Experience suggests that usage can be well approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 4 boxes per week and a standard deviation of .50 boxes per week. 2 weeks are required to fill an order for letterhead stationery. Ordering cost is $5, and annual holding cost is 37 cents per box. Determine the economic order quantity, assuming a 52-week year.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: The Economic order quantity(EOQ) is 74 boxes.

Explanation:

Given weekly demand (d)= 4 boxes

Annual demand (D) = 4*52 = 208 boxes

Ordering cost S = $5

Holding cost H = $0.347

Standard deviation (\sigma) = 0.50

Lead time (L) = 2 weeks

∴ Economic order quantity (EOQ) Q is as follow :

Q = \sqrt{(2* D * S)/(H) }

Q = \sqrt{(2* 208 * 5)/(0.347) }

Q = 77.42 or 74

The Economic order quantity(EOQ) is 74 boxes.

Calculate the cost of one hockey stick assuming that 1,900 sticks were completed during June. $ per hockey stick

Answers

Answer:

1. Cost of goods manufactured =437,000.00

2. cost per hockey stick= $230

Explanation:

Total product cost: The sum of direct material cost, direct labour cost and overhead.

Direct material cost is the costs of all specific materials required to product a product. For example, cost of the flour, sugar used to produce cakes. Where there exist inventory of materials at the beginning and end of a period, the cost of material used is calculated as follows:

Cost of material used is calculated as = Opening stock + Purchases - closing stock

Direct labour cost : the cost of the man hours used directly for the purpose of production. The cost of hours paid to the tailors for making garments in a clothing factory . It is arrived as the active hours used for production × wage rate per hour.

Overhead : Sum of the indirect costs. These include expenditutures on materials , labour and expenses incurred not specifically for a particular product. Example are cost of toiletries used in a bakery, salaries of the security guard , rent of the bakery, e.t.c.

Opening working in progress represents accumulated production cost incurred on goods for which production commenced in a prior period but was not concluded. These items will need to be continued in the following period, hence further production costs would be incurred.

Closing working in progress this represents the cost production work for which work is yet to be completed as the end of the current period.

Working in Progress is adjusted on the production cost in the current period as follows to determine the production cost of the completed units as thus:

Cost of the goods manufactured =

opening WIP + production cost incurred in the period - closing W.I.P.

So we are not set to apply these explanation

Direct materials (132000+48,000-45,000)     135,000.00

Direct labour                                                  113,000.00

Manufacturing Overhead                            187,000.00

Add opening  W.I.P                                      65,000.00

less closing W.I.P                                             (63,000.00)

Cost of goods manufactured                                 437,000.00

Cost of one hockey stick =  cost of good manufactured / Hocky sticks produced

          =$ 437,000/1900 sticks

Cost per hockey stick=  $230

Final answer:

The cost of goods manufactured for Slapshot Company in June is $429,000. The cost of one hockey stick, given that 1,900 hockey sticks were produced in June, is approximately $225.79.

Explanation:

To determine the cost of goods manufactured, we need to add purchases, direct labor costs, and manufacturing overheads then subtract the change in materials inventory. Here, the purchases are $132,000, direct labor cost of $113,000, and manufacturing overhead is $187,000. The materials inventory decreased by $3,000 ($48,000 - $45,000). So, the total cost of goods manufactured is $429,000 ($132,000+$113,000+$187,000-$3,000).

To find the cost of one hockey stick, we just need to divide the cost of goods manufactured by the number of items produced. Therefore, if 1,900 hockey sticks were completed during June, each hockey stick costs $225.79 ($429,000 / 1,900).

You are ready to buy a house, and you have $20,000 for a down payment and closing costs. Closing costs are estimated to be 4% of the loan value. You have an annual salary of $48000 (monthly income $4000) , and the bank is willing to allow your monthly mortgage payment to be equal to 25% of your monthly income. The interest rate on the loan is 6% per year with monthly compounding (.5% per month) for a 30-year fixed rate loan. How much can you offer for the house

Answers

Answer:

So we can offer for the house $180119.95

Explanation:

Monthly income =$4000

Monthly mortgage payment allowed (P)= 25% of 4000= $1000

Interest rate per month (i)= 0.5%

Number of months in total (n)= 30*12= 360

Maximum loan affordable = P*(1-(1/(1+i)^n))/i

=1000*(1-(1/(1+0.5%)^360))/0.5%

=$166791.61

Closing cost is 4% of loan value = 166791.61*4% =$6671.66

Balance Amount left for down payment = 20000-6671.66

=$13328.34

It means we can pay $6671.66 for closing cost of Loan and $13328.34 for down payment.

Cost of house paid maximum = Down payment + Affordable loan

=13328.34+166791.61

=$180119.95

So we can offer for the house $180119.95

has sales of $15 million, total assets of $9 million, and total debt of $3.7 million. If the profit margin is 7 percent what is net income? What is ROE? What is ROA?

Answers

Answer:

Net Income = $ 1.05 million; you can calculate the amount using the profit margin which will be the 7% from the sales.

ROE = 19.8%, the formula is Net Income/Owners Equity. To obtain the amount for Owners Equity you can use the information provided using the Assets and the Total Debt, the difference will be the amount for Owners Equity $ 5.3million.

ROA = 11.7% , the formula is Net Income/Assets.

Advantages of using the opportunity cost of capital as a discount rate are: a. it is easily understood by most investors. b. it permits direct comparison between projects of the same general risk category. c. it permits risk analysis to be incorporated into policy guidelines. d all of the above.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is D (all of the above)

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the rate of return which can be earned from the next best alternative investment opportunity with similar risk profile. Also the meaning of opportunity cost doesnt change only the factors do.

This concept is not as simple as it may first appear. The person making the decision must estimate the variability of returns on the alternative investments through the period during which the cash is expected to be used.

"Ginny sells bottled water from a small stand by the beach. On the last day of summer vacation, many people are on the beach, and Ginny realizes that she can make a lot more money this day if she hires someone to walk up and down the beach selling water. She finds a college student named Eric and makes him the following offer: They'll each sell water all day and split their earnings (revenue minus the cost of water) equally at the end of the day. Ginny knows that if they both work hard, Eric will earn $90 on the beach and Ginny will earn $180 at her stand, so they will each take home half of their total revenue: $90+$1802=$135 . If Eric shirks, he'll generate only $50 in earnings. Ginny does not know that Eric estimates his personal cost (or disutility) of working hard as opposed to shirking at $25."

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Once out of Ginny sight, Alex faces a dilemma: Work very hard (put in all effort) or shirk (put in little effort). If he works hard, he'll sell enough water to generate $90 in earnings (not including his personal cost). If he shirks, he'll only generate $50 in earnings. After the end of the work, he'll split his earnings with Ginny and also get half of what she earns at her stand. In terms of Eric's total utility, it is worse for him to work hard. Close A If Alex works hard, Alex and Sunita together earn $270 ($180 + $90), of which Eric keeps $120. However, he loses $20 worth of utility by working hard. Therefore his net earnings is $100. If he shirks, Eric and Ginny together earn $270 ($200+ $70), of which Eric will keeps $120, while his personal cost is zero. Therefore Alex, individually, is better off when he shirks. A more better way of finding the solution to the problem is to note that from Eric's view, the amount of money he gets from Ginny's sales from the stand does not rely on his own sales.
