<span>Let us assume Toni made 100 apple pies in 10 hours, that means 10/hour.
Now, with help of assistant she produces 60% more and work for 20% less time.
So,
[100+(60% of 100)] = 160 apple pies produced in [10-(20% of 10)]= 8 hours.
160/8 = 20/hour
So, with the help of assistant Toni's output of apple pies per hour increases by 100%.</span>
Answer:
95%, 73.1%
Explanation:
Actual output= 950 per year
Design capacity= 1300 per year (Theoretical capacity)
Effective capacity= 1000 per year (efficiency of the shop)
Now Efficiency = actual output/effective capacity = 950/1000 = 0.95, 95.0%
Utilization= actual output/ design capacity = 950/1300 = 0.7308, 73.1%
Answer:
Pros: Use of singe hurdle rate saves time in the evaluation of projects which results in prompt decision making.
Cons: Company may reject good projects and accept bad ones due to the assumptions underlying WACC use in capital budgeting.
Explanation:
Pros of using WACC: The use of WACC implies that the company uses a single hurdle rate for all projects, which simplifies the decision making and saves time when evaluating projects
Cons of using WACC: Use of WACC assumes that there is no change in capital structure i.e all projects are financed in exactly the same way and all projects have the same risk . These assumptions may lead to the company rejecting good projects and accepting bad ones. For example the company may accept a high risk project with a return of 14% when the minimum return that should be accepted according to the high risk divisional WACC is 16%. Likewise, the company may reject a low risk project with a return of 11%, when it is in fact a good project whose minimum return should be 8% as per the low risk divisional WACC.
