Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": opinion leader.

Explanation:

An opinion leader is a person who, due to the expert status obtained and because that individual represents a trusted source, has a major influence within a given group. Opinion leaders tend to be charismatic, well-known, and serve as a community leader. Moreover, opinion leaders must have an in-depth knowledge of the issue involving the group.

uppose the current term structure of interest rates, assuming annual compounding, is as follows: s_1s 1 ​ s_2s 2 ​ s_3s 3 ​ s_4s
Ahat [919]

Answer:

7.53%

Explanation:

Calculation for the discount rate of d(0,4)d(0,4)

The discount factor is : d=1/1+i

And given that the interest rates are compounded annually the discount factor will gives the present value of the bond when provided with the interest rate and maturity value.

Therefore the present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will be;

Present value=1 /(1+i1) (1+i) (1+i3) (1+i4)

Present value=1 / (1.07) (1.073) (1.077) (1.081)

Present value=0.748

The present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will therefore be 0.748.

Now, let calculate the discounting factor for the whole 4 years:

1 (1+d (0,4))‐⁴ =0.748

(1+d(0,4))=0.748‐¹/⁴

1+d (0,4) =1.0753

d (0,4)=0.0753

Therefore the discount rate will be 7.53%

Q#2 (Chapter 9). A diversified company has decided to use its overall firm WACC as a performance benchmark for rating its divisi
labwork [276]

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.

As part of a major plant renovation project, the industrial engineering department has been asked to balance a revised assembly
ioda

Answer:

A)Minimum = 0.2 minutes

Maximum = 4.6 minutes

Cycle time = = 2 minutes per unit

B) Number of Stations = 3

D) the percentage of idle time for the assignment in decimal = 0.43

Explanation:

A) Operating output = 240 units per 8hours.

Converting to per hour, we get; 240/8 = 30 units per hour.

Minimum cycle time = longest task time

Maximum cycle time = sum of task times

Minimum = 0.2 minutes

Maximum = 0.2 + 0.4 + 0.2 + 0.4 + 1.2 + 1.2 + 1.0 = 4.6 minutes

Now, operational time(OT) is 8 hours a day. Converting that to minutes, we have =60x8 = 480 minutes

Cycle time(CT) = OT (per day) /desired output

Therefore, calculated cycle time = 480/240

= 2 minutes per unit

B) Number of stations = Maximum time / CT

= 4.6/2 = 2.3 which is approximately 3 stations

C) The task diagram is drawn in image 1 attached. Therefore, we can assign tasks based in the greatest number of following tasks as follows;

Task Number of following tasks

a 4

b 3

c 2

d 2

e 1

f 1

g 0

D) for the idle time from the assigned tasks in "c" above, from the "image 2" attached; the percentage of the idle time will be=

Total remaining time of tasks without remaining feasibility tasks/ {(number of these tasks) x(CT)}

Which gives percentage of idle time = (0.8 + 0.8 + 0.8 + 1.0)/{(4)x(2)}

= 3.4/8 = 42.5%

Since we are to convert to decimal,

= 0.425 approximately 0.43

Johnson Electronics sells electrical and electronic components through catalogs. Catalogs are updated and printed twice every ye
zimovet [89]

Answer:

optimal order quantity is 11450

Explanation:

solution

we will use here news vendor model here

and profit means that if we print less we will incur a certain opportunity loss

so it is known as cost of understocking (Cu) i.e = 35

and

production cost = $5

when product is not sold

we incur  cost of (Co) i.e = 5

so

fixed cost is incurred either way in a year

so we need to consider the critical fractile value

that is express as

CF = \frac{Cu}{Cu + Co}

CF = \frac{35}{35 + 5}

CF = \frac{35}{40}

CF = 0.875

so value of Z at  0.875   is 1.15

so

means the optimal order per production will be here =  8000 + 1.15 ×3000 = 11450

so

optimal order quantity is 11450
