Answer:
Cappuccino machines should be produced in Atlanta and coffee makers in Fort Worth. The Fort Worth facility would need to operate 100 hours per week and the Atlanta facility would need to operate 140 hours per week.
Total costs associated to operating the facilities = ($2,400 x 100) + ($600 x 140) = $324,000
Explanation:
Since there is not constraint regarding the total number of labor hours that each plant can operate, then we must choose the plant that operates at the lower cost. The only restriction is total time = 7 days x 24 hours = 168 hours per week:
production costs Atlanta:
coffee maker = $600 / 160 = $3.75 per unit
cappuccino machine = $600 / 200 = $3 per unit
production costs Fort Worth:
coffee maker = $2,400 / 800 = $3 per unit
cappuccino machine = $2,400 / 200 = $6 per unit
Cappuccino machines should be produced in Atlanta and coffee makers in Fort Worth. The Fort Worth facility would need to operate 100 hours per week and the Atlanta facility would need to operate 140 hours per week.
Answer:
The answer is B) 340 bushels of corn and 500 bushels of oats.
Explanation:
Cornland´s workers have a comparative advantage in the production of corn, each worker can grow 40 bushels per year. Since Cornland has 20 workers in total, its maximum possible output of corn bushels would be 800 (20x40=800).
Oatland´s workers have a comparative advantage in the production or oats, each worker can grow 50 bushels per year. Since Oatland has 20 workers in total, its maximum possible output of oats bushels would be 1,000 (20x50=1,000).
Currently both countries combined are producing 460 bushels of corn (400+60=460) and 500 bushels of oats (100+400=500). If each country specializes in the production of the good in which they have a comparative advantage, then their total combined output would increase by 340 bushels of corn and 500 bushels of oats.
- Corn: specialized production - current production = 800-460 = 340 bushels
- Oats: specialized production - current production = 1,000-500 = 500 bushels
Answer:
The approximate economic order quantity is 110 units.
Explanation:
A = annual demand = 10,000 units per year
C = unit cost of pot = $1000
S = Ordering cost per order = $150
I = Annual carrying cost (%) = 25% of unit cost
H = Annual carrying cost ($) = 0.25*C
= 0.25*$1000
= $250 per unit per year
Optimal order quantity is obtain from the EOQ formula.
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is given as follows:
Q = \sqrt{\frac{2*A*S}{H}}
Q = \sqrt{\frac{2*10,000*150}{250}}
Q = \sqrt{\frac{3000000}{250}}
Q = \sqrt{12000} = 109.545
Q = 110 units per order
Therefore, The approximate economic order quantity is 110 units.
Answer:
Dr Prepaid insurance 22,000
Cr cash 22,000
Dr Insurance expense 5,500
Cr Prepaid insurance 5,500
Explanation:
Preparation of Journal entries
Based on the information given we were told that Sandhill Company pays the amount of $22,000 to another company which is Cullumber Company for a 2-year insurance contract in which Both the companies have fiscal years that is ending December 31 which means that the Journal entry will be recorded as:
Dr Prepaid insurance 22,000
Cr cash 22,000
Dr Insurance expense 5,500
Cr Prepaid insurance 5,500
[(22,000*6/12)/2]
