Job candidates are leaving an office every 50 minutes. Each candidate goes through three activities during the office visit: verification, written test, and interview. Verification takes 1 minute, the written test takes 40 minutes, and the interview takes 10 minutes. Assume there is only one resource dedicated to each activity. What is the utilization of the bottleneck resource?
Answer:
80%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the utilization of the bottleneck resource
First step is to calculate the Flow rate
Flow rate = 1/50
Flow rate = 0.02 customer per minute.
Second step is to calculate the Bottleneck capacity
Bottleneck capacity = Min(1, 1/40, 1/10)
Bottleneck capacity= 0.025 customer per minute.
Now let determine the Utilization of the bottleneck resource using this formula
Utilization of the bottleneck resource = Flow rate/Capacity
Let plug in the formula
Utilization of the bottleneck resource= 0.02/0.025
Utilization of the bottleneck resource= 80%.
Therefore the utilization of the bottleneck resource is 80%
Beta Inc. can produce a unit of Zed for the following costs: Direct material $ 10 Direct labor 20 Overhead 50 Total costs per unit $ 80 An outside supplier offers to provide Beta with all the Zed units it needs at $58 per unit. If Beta buys from the supplier, it will still incur 40% of its overhead. Beta should:
Answer: Beta should buy from the outside supplier
Explanation:
If Beta produces the product itself, only avoidable costs would be accounted for:
= Direct labor + Direct material + Unavoidable overhead
= 10 + 20 + ( (1 - 40%) * 50)
= 10 + 20 + 30
= $60
If however, Beta buys the product, they will buy at $58 per unit which is less than the $60 they would make it for.
Beta should buy the product because they will be able to save $2 per unit.
Nakatomi Corporation produces 10,000 units of Product A at a cost of $20 per unit. A detailed breakdown of the cost is below. Per Unit Variable costs $ 12 Allocated manufacturing overhead costs 3 Allocated general administrative costs 5 $ 20 Outside supplier's offer $ 17 What are the total relevant cost of producing the units internally
Answer: $120,000
Explanation:
Fixed costs are not considered to be relevant costs because they will be incurred by the business regardless. Variable costs are therefore the only relevant costs and in this case the variable costs are:
= Number of units * variable costs per unit
= 10,000 units * 12
= $120,000

Growing, Inc. is a firm that is experiencing rapid growth. The firm yesterday paid a dividend of $7.70. You believe that dividends will grow at a rate of 25.0% per year for two years, and then at a rate of 5.0% per year thereafter. You expect the stock will sell for $35.09 in two years. You expect an annual rate of return of 23.0% on this investment. If you plan to hold the stock indefinitely, what is the most you would pay for the stock now
Answer:
$38.98
Explanation:
The maximum amount a rational investor would pay for the stock is the present value of its future dividends and the present value of the terminal value of dividends beyond year 2(the price at the end of year 2) discounted at the investor's rate of return which is 23.0%
Year 1 dividend=$7.70*(1+25.0%)=$9.63
Year 2 dividend=$9.63*(1+25.0%)=$12.04
Share price at the end of year 2=$35.09(the 5.0% is of no use since terminal value beyond has been given)
price of the stock=$9.63/(1+23.0%)^1+$12.04/(1+23.0%)^2+$35.09/(1+23.0%)^2
price of the stock=$38.98
Merone Company allocates materials handling cost to the company's two products using the below data:
Modular Homes Prefab Barns
Total expected units produced 6,600 9,600
Total expected material moves 660 260
Expected direct labor-hours per unit 860 360
The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $228,300. If the materials handling cost is allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours, the total materials handling cost allocated to the prefab barns is closest to:
a. 164,883.33
b. $91,576.16
c. $106,275.00
d. $86,400.00
Answer:
d. $86,400.00
Explanation:
The computation of the total materials handling cost allocated to the prefab barns is given below:
Total Materials Handling Cost is $228,300
Total is
= 6600 ×860 + 9600 × 360
= $5,676,000 + $3,456,000
= $9,132,000
Allocation Rate = Total Materials Handling Cost ÷ Total direct labor hours
= $228,300 ÷ $9,132,000
= $0.025
Now
Total Materials Handling Cost allocated to prefab barns is
= Allocation Rate× direct albor hours for Modular Homes
= $0.025 × $3,456,000
= $86,400

Determine the amount of long-term debt for ABC Co. using the following balance sheet information: cash balance of $24,733, accounts payable of $95,119, common stock of $400,875, retained earnings of $500,644, inventory of $206,573, other assets equal to $76,981, net plant and equipment of $707,919, short-term notes payable of $30,000, and accounts receivable of $142,431.
Answer:
$131,999
Explanation:
i. Total Assets = Cash + Inventory + Accounts receivable + Other Assets + Net plant and Equipment
Total Assets = $24,733 + $206,573 + $142,431 + $76,981 + $707,919
Total Assets = $1,158,637
ii. Current liabilities = Accounts payable + Short term debt
Current liabilities = $95,119 + $30,000
Current liabilities = $125,119
iii. Common stock = $400,875
iv. Retained Earnings = $500,644
Long term debt = Total Assets - [Common stock + Retained earnings + Current liabilities]
Long term debt = $1,158,637 - [$400,875 + $500,644 + $125,119]
Long term debt = $1,158,637 - $1,026,638
Long term debt = $131,999
It is a hot day, and Bert is thirsty. Here is the value he places on each bottle of water: Value of first bottle $7, Value of second bottle $5, Value of third bottle $3, Value of fourth bottle $1
a. From this information, derive Bert’s demand schedule. Graph his demand curve for bottled water.
b. If the price of a bottle of water is $4, how many bottles does Bert buy? How much consumer surplus does Bert get from his purchases? Show Bert’s consumer surplus in your graph.
c. If the price falls to $2, how does quantity demanded change? How does Bert’s consumer surplus change? Show these changes in your graph.
Answer:
a. Please check the attached image for the diagram
b. He would buy 2 bottles
$4
Please check the attached image for the diagram
c. he demands 3 bottles. his demand increases by 1 bottle
his consumer surplus changes to $3. It reduces by $1
Please check the attached image for the diagram
Explanation:
The demand schedule is a table that shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded of a consumer. It can be seen that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This is in line with the law of demand.
The demand curve is a curve that shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded. The demand curve is negatively sloped because the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This is in line with the law of demand.
According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
the price of the good is $4 and when price is $7, he would purchase a bottle and when it is $5, he would buy a second bottle.
Thus, he would buy 2 bottles when the price is $4

Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit
Contribution margin :
Regular = 22 - 8 = 14
Ultra = 25 - 8 = 17
weighted contribution margin = (1/3 x 14) + (2/3 x 17) = 16
Firms breakeven = $1,536,000 / $16 = 96,000
Regular's breakeven = 1/3 x 96,000 = 32,000
Ultra's breakeven = 2/3 x 96,000 = 64,000

Indicate which barrier to entry appropriately explains why a monopoly exists in each scenario?
a. In the natural gas industry, low average total costs are obtained only through large-scale production. In other words, the initial cost of setting up all the necessary pipes and hoses makes it risky and, most likely, unprofitable for competitors to enter the market.
b. The Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) formerly controlled all U.S. sources of bauxite, a key component in the production of aluminum. Given that Alcoa did not sell bauxite to any other companies, Alcoa was a monopolist in the U.S. aluminum industry from the late-nineteenth century until the 1940s.
c. Patents are granted to inventors of a product or process for a certain number of years. The reason for this is to encourage innovation in the economy. Without the existence of patents, it is argued that research and development for improved pharmaceutical products is unlikely to take place, since there's nothing preventing another firm from stealing the idea, copying the product, and producing it without incurring the development costs.

Minor Company installs a machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $135,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 300,000 units of product, with a $15,000 salvage value. During its first year, the machine produces 64,500 units of product. Determine the machines' first year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method. Multiple Choice $66,000. $25,800. $24,000. $54,000. $48,000.
Answer:
$24,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the machines' first year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method.
Using this formula
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value)/Estimated Useful Life
Let plug in the formula
Depreciation Expense = ($135,000 - $15,000)/5
Depreciation Expense=$120,000/5
Depreciation Expense= $24,000
Therefore the machines' first year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method is $24,000
Ace Products has a bond issue outstanding with 15 years remaining to maturity, a coupon rate of 9% with semiannual payments of $45, and a par value of $1,000. The price of each bond in the issue is $1,180.00. The bond issue is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,090.
Required:
a. What is the bond's nominal annual yield to maturity (YTM)?
b. What is the bond's nominal annual yield to call (YTC)?
c. Assuming interest rates remain at current levels, will the bond issue be called?
Answer:
a. Nper = 30
PMT = 45
FV = `1000
Price Pv = -1180
Rate (YTM) = ?
Using the MsExcel Rate function to derive YTM
Nominal annual yield to maturity = Rate(Nper, Pmt, -Pv, Fv) * 2
Nominal annual yield to maturity = Rate(30, 45, -1180, 1000) * 2
Nominal annual yield to maturity = 7.04%
b. Nper = 10
PMT = 45
Call Price = 1090
Price Pv = -1180
Rate (YTC) = ?
Using the MsExcel Rate function to derive YTM
Nominal annual yield to call = Rate(Nper, Pmt, -Pv, Fv) * 2
Nominal annual yield to call = Rate(10, 45, -1180, 1090) * 2
Nominal annual yield to call = 6.31%
C. Yes, the bond issue should call because the YTC is less than the YTM.
Given the following information, determine the amount of cash on the balance sheet, assuming that the company has only three assets.
Liabilities equal $3,350
Owner's equity equals $28,000
Supplies equal $2,000
Land equals $23,500
Answer:
Cash balance = $5850
Explanation:
Below is the given values and calculations:
Liabilities = $3350
Equity = $28000
Supplies = 2000
Land = $23500
Cash on the balance sheet can be determined by subtracting the sum of supplies and land from the sum of liability and equity.
Cash balance = (28000 + 3350) - (2000 + 23500)
Cash balance = $5850
