Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: failure to complete a business plan and failure to get funding.

Explanation:

To begin with, if an entrepreneur failures to complete a business plan and to get funding then the most probable thing to happen is that his business will be untenable from the beginning due to the fact that if the person do not possesses money and a plan to put his ideas in action he will never achieve his primary goals, that is, obtaining profits at long term. Therefore that if there is no business plan in which the company must focus and there is no money to carry out that strategy then the business model is doomed.

A company has a process that results in 12,000 pounds of Product A that can be sold for $8 per pound. An alternative would be to

eimsori [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is management should sell Product A now.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Total production = 12,000 pounds

Sell price = $8 per pound

If process further, Cost = $80,000

Selling price = $14 per pound

So, If we sell the product without further process, than

Total sale value = 12,000 × $8 = $96,000

And, if we sell the product after further processing, then

Total sale value = (12,000 × $14) - $80,000

= $88,000.

As, sales value is more in selling the product without further process, so management should sell the product without further processing it.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

(a) Linear model

$max\ P = 9x + 7y$

Subject to:

$12x + 4y \le 60$

$4x + 8y \le 40$

$x,y \ge 0$

(b) Standard form:

$max\ P = 9x + 7y$

Subject to:

$12x + 4y + s_1 = 60$

$4x + 8y +s_2= 40$

$x,y \ge 0$

$s_1,s_2 \ge 0$

Explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{ccc}{} & {Hours/} & {Unit} & {Product} & {Line\ 1} & {Line\ 2} & {A} & {12} & {4} & {B} & {4} & {8} & {Total\ Hours} & {60} &{40}\ \end{array}$

Solving (a): Formulate a linear programming model

From the question, we understand that:

A has a profit of $9 while B has $7

So, the linear model is:

$max\ P = 9x + 7y$

Subject to:

$12x + 4y \le 60$

$4x + 8y \le 40$

$x,y \ge 0$

Where:

$x \to line\ 1$

$y \to line\ 2$

Solving (b): The model in standard form:

To do this, we introduce surplus and slack variable "s"

For $\le$ inequalities, we add surplus (add s)

Otherwise, we remove slack (minus s)

So, the standard form is:

So, the linear model is:

$max\ P = 9x + 7y$

Subject to:

$12x + 4y + s_1 = 60$

$4x + 8y +s_2= 40$

$x,y \ge 0$

$s_1,s_2 \ge 0$

ddd [48]

Answer:

The scenario that best illustrate BUNDLING is option B which state that:

Fresh Seeds Inc. sells seed packages, in which a person can buy a package of three types of seeds at a discounted price compared to buying the seeds individually

Explanation:

BUNDLING occur when a company or an organisation combine different product together as a package and than sell those product at a discounted amount or lower price instead of charging their customers to buy those product separately

For example, a customers may prefer iPhone 6 than iPhone 5 Instead of the company to sell iPhone 6 for $500 dollars and iPhone 5 for $400 dollars each, the company will then bundles or combined the two product and sells them at a discounted price or amount of $300.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

a) $639,610.76

b) $422,923.12

c) $0.00

d) $875,351.49

Explanation:

a) How large of a deposit must she make today?

To calculate this, we make us of the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Amount to deposit today =?

P = yearly withdrawal = $95,000

r = interest rate = 4% = 0.04

n = number of years = 8

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $95,000 × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.04)]^8} ÷ 0.04]

PV = $95,000 × 6.73274487495041

PV = $639,610.76

Therefore, she must make a deposit of approximately $639,610.76 today.

b) How much will be in the account immediately after you make the 3rd $95,000 withdrawal

Note: See Part A in the attached excel file for the calculation of this.

The answer is the ending balance in Year 3 and it can be seen that this is $422,923.12.

c) How much will be in the account immediately after you make all the withdrawals including the last one in 8 years?

Note: Also see Part A in the attached excel file for the calculation of this.

The answer is the ending balance in Year 8 and it can be seen that this is $0.00.

d) Now, if you decide to drop out of school today and not make any of the withdrawal, but instead keep your aunt’s money, that she deposited today, in the account that is earning 4.00%, how much would you have at the end of 8 years?

Note: See Part B in the attached excel file for the calculation of this.

The answer is the ending balance in Year 8 and it can be seen that this is $875,351.49.

The amount is that large because zero amount is withdrawn each year while the account kept on earning interest yearly on the ending balance.
