Edwards Manufacturing Company purchases two component parts from three different suppliers. The suppliers have limited capacity, and no one supplier can meet all the company’s needs. In addition, the suppliers charge different prices for the components. Component price data (in price per unit) are as follows: Supplier Component 1 2 3 1 $10 $15 $14 2 $13 $12 $10 Each supplier has a limited capacity in terms of the total number of components it can supply. However, as long as Edwards provides sufficient advance orders, each supplier can devote its capacity to component 1, component 2, or any combination of the two components, if the total number of units ordered is within its capacity. Supplier capacities are as follows. Supplier 1 2 3 Capacity 1500 2500 2000 If the Edwards production plan for the next period includes 2,000 units of component 1 and 3,000 units of component 2, what purchases do you recommend
Answer:
Purchase 1,500 units of component 1 from supplier 1.
Purchase 2,000 units of component 2 from supplier 3.
Purchase 500 units of component 1 and 1,000 units of component 2 from supplier 2.
Total costs = $54,500
Explanation:
component 1 component 2
supplier 1 2 3 1 2 3
price $10 $15 $14 $13 $12 $10
capacity:
supplier 1 = 1,500
supplier 2 = 2,500
supplier 3 = 2,000
demand:
component 1 = 2,000component 2 = 3,000There are two ways to solve this, one using excel and the solver function or do it manually.
Manually, we must start with the supplier that has the lowest cost. In this case, the supplier with the lowest cost for component 1 is supplier 1 ($10) and component 2 is supplier 3 ($10).
We will start by purchasing 1,500 units of component 1 from supplier 1 at $15,000. That eliminates supplier 1's capacity, so we now only have suppliers 2 and 3. We still need 500 units of component 1 and 3,000 units of component 2.
We purchase 2,000 units of component 2 from supplier 3 at $20,000. This will consume all of supplier 3's capacity, so we only have supplier 2 left. We are still needing 500 units of component 1 and 1,000 units of component 2.
We will purchase the remaining units from supplier 3 at (500 x $15) + ($1,000 x $12) = $19,500.
Our total expense will be $54,500.
The reserve requirement is 10%. Suppose that the Fed $ worth of U.S. government securities a bond dealer, electronically the dealer's deposit account at Reliable Bank. Which of the following correctly describes the immediate effect of this transaction? A. The total reserves of Reliable Bank by $. B. The excess reserves of Reliable Bank by $. C. The required reserves of Reliable Bank by $. D. Reliable Bank
Answer:
D. The money supply decreases by $150,000.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as some figures are omitted. The full question is therefore presented first before answering the question as follows:
The reserve requirement is 10%.
Suppose that the Fed sells $150,000 worth of U.S. government securities from a bond dealer, electronically debiting the dealer's deposit account at Reliable Bank.
Which of the following correctly describes the immediate effect of this transaction on the money supply?
A. The money supply decreases by $1,500,000
B. The money supply decreases by $135,000.
C. There is no change in the money supply.
D. The money supply decreases by $150,000.
E. None of the above.
The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:
This is an example of Open market operations (OMO).
Open market operations (OMO) is a monetary policy strategy in which the central bank such as the Federal Reserve sells or purchases government securities in order to implement a particular monetary policy.
When the central bank sells government securities on the open market, it aims to reduce the money supply by the worth of the securities. This is called a contractionary monetary policy.
On the other hand, when the central bank purchases government securities on the open market, it aims to increase the money supply by the worh of the government securities. This is called an expansionary monetary policy.
From the question, the sale of $150,000 worth of U.S. government securities from a bond dealer is a contractionary monetary policy and it will reduce the money supply by exactly $150,000.
Therefore, the correct option is D. The money supply decreases by $150,000.
In terms of market efficiency, short selling most likely: Group of answer choices leads to excess volatility, which reduces market efficiency. has little effect on market efficiency because short sellers face the risk of unlimited losses. promotes market efficiency by making assets less likely to become overvalued.
Answer:
promotes market efficiency by making assets less likely to become overvalued.
Explanation:
Market efficiency can be defined as a measure of the degree to which prices in a market reflect all available and significant information at a specific period of time. A market is said to be efficient when all information has been incorporated into the prices of goods and services, and as such it is impossible to "beat" the market because there are no overvalued or undervalued stock.
In terms of market efficiency, short selling most likely promotes market efficiency by making assets less likely to become overvalued, because stocks are usually not allowed to be overpriced before selling them.
Sweet Leaf Tea,a Texas-based maker of bottled iced tea,is a small but fast-growing firm that has gained a loyal following for its use of fresh,organic ingredients in its beverages.Although beverage industry experts recommended that Sweet Leaf replace the organic cane sugar and honey it uses with less costly high-fructose corn syrup,Sweet Leaf refused because of the company's mission to provide a high-quality,organic beverage to consumers.The 11-year-old company has 50 employees,and its products are available in 30% of the U.S.market.Sweet Leaf Tea recently received multimillion dollar investments which will enable the business to expand its national presence. Which of the following,if true,would most likely undermine the argument that Sweet Leaf Tea should implement a corporate-level strategy of vertical integration?A) Sweet Leaf Tea lacks the facilities or knowledge to produce the raw ingredients for its beverages.B) Market research suggests that Sweet Leaf Tea customers primarily purchase only one flavor of tea.C) Most loyal customers of Sweet Leaf Tea purchase the beverage at neighborhood convenience stores.D) Sweet Leaf Tea has decided to lower its prices by replacing cane sugar with corn syrup in some of its beverages.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
A) Sweet Leaf Tea lacks the facilities or knowledge to produce the raw ingredients for its beverages.
Explanation:
Vertical integration is a strategy whereby a company owns or controls its suppliers, distributors or retail locations which helps to control its product value and supply chain associated with the product it is selling.
Also, vertical integration benefits companies by allowing them to control process, reduce costs and improve efficiencies of the product. Since Sweet Leaf Tea Company lacks the facilities or knowledge to produce the raw ingredients for its beverages, it would definitely undermine its ambition.
To support the manufacture of desktop computers for their customers, Dell needs to order all the parts that go into the computer, such as hard drives, motherboards, and memory modules. Obviously the demand for these items is driven by the production schedule for the computers. What is the term used to describe demand for these parts?
Answer:
Dependent demand.
Explanation:
In order to support the manufacture of desktop computers for their customers, Dell needs to order all the parts that go into the computer, such as hard drives, motherboards, and memory modules.
Hence, the term used to describe demand for these parts is dependent demand.
A dependent demand can be defined as the situation whereby the demand for a specific product or item occurs as a result of the demand for another product or item. The two products are known as the lower level or child item and the higher level or parent items.
This simply means that, the components that goes into a computer are the lower level or child items while the computer itself is the higher level or parent item.

"An investor has a portfolio of diversified blue chip stocks with a current market value of $350,000. The portfolio has a computed beta factor of 1.8. The customer wants to protect the portfolio from a declining market with the use of OEX contracts. The OEX closed this day at 350. To hedge with "at the money" contracts, the customer should:"
Answer: Buy 18 contracts
Explanation:
Hedging against the risk involved in an investment means the use of market strategies or financial instruments to offset risk.
When there is a drop in the market value, any loss that is incurred on the portfolio will have to be offset by the long puts gain. This implies that 10 put contracts will have to be required for hedging. This is calculated as:
= $350,000/(350 × 100)
= $350,000/35,000
= 10 contracts
Since the portfolio has a computed beta factor of 1.8, we then multiply 10 by 1.8. This will be:
= 10 × 1.8
= 18 contracts.
Ben works at a small advertising agency as a graphic artist. Ben enjoys his job because the company allows employees to have flexible schedules and to telecommute when necessary. Which of the following best describes this type of employee compensation? A) indirect financial compensation B) direct financial compensation C) nonfinancial compensation D) required compensation
Answer:
C) nonfinancial compensation.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Ben works at a small advertising agency as a graphic artist. Ben enjoys his job because the company allows employees to have flexible schedules and to telecommute when necessary. A non-financial compensation best describes this type of employee compensation because employees aren't given any compensation in cash.

It has to do solely with non-monetary values such as flexibility, job environment, relaxation spots, food, fitness facilities etc.
The following sequence shows four operations for a computer chip assembly process and the effective capacity of each. Step 1: 500 chips/hour Step 2: 250 chips/hour Step 3: 200 chips/hour Step 4: 550 chips/hour Suppose the utilization is 70 percent of effective capacity. What is the actual output of the process?
Answer:
The actual output of the process is 140 per hour
Explanation:
The Bottleneck step is the one which assemble minimum number of chips per hour . Step 3 produces minimum number of chips (200 chips per hour). Therefore step 3 is the bottleneck step.
Since the steps are interlinked in sequence, the capacity of the process will be determined by the capacity of the bottleneck process. Therefore, effective capacity of the process = 200 chips per hour
Since utilization is 70% of effective capacity , the actual output of the process = Utilization x Effective Capacity
= 0.7 x 200
= 140 per hour
Thus, the actual output of the process is 140 per hour
The accountant for Crusoe Company is preparing the company's statement of cash flows for the fiscal year just ended. The following information is available: Retained earnings balance at the beginning of the year $ 127,500 Cash dividends declared for the year 47,500 Proceeds from the sale of equipment 82,500 Gain on the sale of equipment 7,300 Cash dividends payable at the beginning of the year 19,500 Cash dividends payable at the end of the year 21,800 Net income for the year 93,500 What is the ending balance for retained earnings
Answer:
Explanation:
Retained earning is the amount of net income left for the business owners after paying out dividends to its shareholders , which can be utilized for further expansion as the strategy may require .
To calculate the retained earning for a particular period , the opening retained earning is added to the loss or profit and the dividends payout subtracted
Retained earning = Opening retained earning + net income - dividends paid
127,500+ 93,500 - 47,500
127,500+93,500 -47,500 = 173,500.

Consider a small country that is closed to trade, so its net exports are equal to zero. The following equations describe the economy of this country in billions of dollars, where C is consumption, D is disposable income, I is investment, and G is government purchases: C=40+0.9∗DIG=80I=201. Assume that this economy initially has a fixed tax and that net taxes (taxes minus transfer payments are $100 billion. Disposable income is then (Y−100), where Y is the real GDP. Aggregate output demanded is $500 billion (True/False).2. Suppose the government decides to increase spending by $10 billion without raising taxes. Because the expenditure multiplier is 10 (True/False), this will increase the economy's aggregate output demanded by $100 billion (True/False).3. Now, suppose that the government switches to an income tax, which is the type of variable tax, of 20%. Because consumers retain only 80% of each additional dollar of income, disposable income is now 0.80∗Y. In this case, the economy's aggregate output demanded is $500 billion (True/False).4. Given an income tax of 20%, the expenditure multiplier is approximately 3.6 (True/False). Therefore, if the government decides to increase spending by $10 billion without raising tax rates, this would increase the economy's aggregate output demanded by approximately $36 billion (True/False).5. A $10 billion increase in government purchases will have a larger effect on output under a fixed tax of $100 billion (True/False).
Answer:
1. Aggregate output demanded is $500 billion. True.
Aggregate Demand (Y) = C + G + I
Y = 40+0.9∗DI + 80 + 20
Y = 40 + 0.9 ∗ (Y−100) + 80 + 20
Y = 50 + 0.9Y
0.1Y = 50
Y = $500 billion
2. Suppose the government decides to increase spending by $10 billion without raising taxes. Because the expenditure multiplier is 10. True.
Expenditure Multiplier = 1 / ( 1 - Marginal Propensity to Consume)
Marginal Propensity to Consume = 0.9 as per the Consumption function.
= 1/ ( 1 - 0.9)
= 10
2. b. this will increase the economy's aggregate output demanded by $100 billion. True.
Change in Aggregate output = Increase in government expenditure * expenditure multiplier
= 10 billion * 10
= $100 billion
3. ... In this case, the economy's aggregate output demanded is $500 billion . True.
Aggregate Demand (Y) = C + G + I
Y = 40+0.9∗DI + 80 + 20
Y = 40 + 0.9 ∗ (0.80∗Y) + 80 + 20
Y = 140 + 0.72Y
0.28Y = 140
Y = $500 billion
4. Given an income tax of 20%, the expenditure multiplier is approximately 3.6. True.
As a result of the new tax, the MPC will become;
= 0.9 * ( 0.80 * Y)
= 0.72Y.
Expenditure Multiplier = 1 / ( 1 - Marginal Propensity to Consume)
= 1/ ( 1 - 0.72)
= 3.57
= 3.6
4. b. Therefore, if the government decides to increase spending by $10 billion without raising tax rates, this would increase the economy's aggregate output demanded by approximately $36 billion. True.
Change in Aggregate output = Increase in government expenditure * expenditure multiplier
= 10 billion * 3.6
= $36 billion
5. A $10 billion increase in government purchases will have a larger effect on output under a fixed tax of $100 billion. True.
When the tax was fixed, an increase in Government purchases of $10 billion resulted in an increase in Aggregate output of $100 billion. When the Government switched to income taxes however, a $10 billion increase in Government spending led to a significantly lesser increase in Aggregate output of $36 billion.

The government decides to increase its expenditures by $350. The multiplier in this economy is 4 and the tax rate is 22 percent. The net effect of this expansionary fiscal policy is to: Group of answer choices
Answer:
Increase the budget shortage by $42
Explanation:
The government decides to increase expenditure by $350
The multiplier in the income is 4
The tax rate is 22%
= 22/100
= 0.22
The first step is to calculate the increase in income
= $350×4
= 1,400
The tax revenue which will be derived from the new income can be calculated as follows
= 0.22×1,400
= 308
Therefore, the net effect can be calculated as follows
Net effect= $350-$308
= $42
Hence the net effect of this expansionary fiscal policy is to make an increase in the budget shortage by $42
