Your and your business partner bake bread to be sold at the Madison Farmer's Market every Saturday. You calculate the underage cost to be $2.50 per loaf and the overage cost to be $0.75 per loaf. If you are baking the profit maximizing amount of bread that balances the overage and underage cost, how often should you expect to run out of bread at the farmer's market

Answer:

23%

Explanation:

Overage cost(Co) = $0.75

Underage cost(Cu) = $2.50

Service level = Cu/(Co + Cu)

Service level = $2.50 / ($0.75+$2.50)  

Service level = $2.50 / $3.25

Service level = 0.76923077

Service level = 76.92%

So the optimal service level is 77%

Risk of stock-out = 100% - Service level

Risk of stock-out = 100% - 77%

Risk of stock-out = 23%

Given this information, in order to use her 4 hours of study time to get the best exam score possible, how many hours should she have spent working on problems, and how many should she have spent reading?

Assume that Jordan ​Enterprises's radio broadcast license is renewable at the end of each 10​-year term and management has provided evidence that approval of the renewal is highly probable. In this​ case, the broadcast license qualifies as an​indefinite-life intangible asset and is not subject to amortization.​ Therefore, the firm carries the broadcast license at its original cost of $786,000.
On December ​31, 2015 the company noted substantial declines in radio advertising revenues over the past year due to expanded satellite radio​subscriptions, Internet​ broadcasts, and the use of iPod players. Based on the required annual review and consideration of the available impairment​ indicators, management believes that it is more likely than not that the broadcast license may be impaired.​ Therefore, the company must test the broadcast license for impairment. Similar broadcast licenses have been sold in auctions for $676,000.
Assuming that renewal of the broadcast license is probable for this​ indefinite-life intangible​ asset, analyze the accounting for impairment and prepare the journal entries.
1.) Conduct the impairment test indicated for​indefinite-life intangible asset at the end of the year and determine the impairment​ loss, if any. ​(If you selected​ "No" that an impairment loss is not​ indicated, then leave the impairment loss input cell blank. Show a loss with a parentheses or minus​ sign.)
2.) Next, prepare the journal entry required to record any impairment loss. ​(Record debits​ first, then credits. Exclude explanations from any journal entries. If no entry is required select​ "No Entry​ Required" on the first line of the journal entry table and leave all remaining cells in the table​blank.)
