The question is reproduced in the table below for clarity                        

                               Oven                                  Contribution

                         Hours Required                 Margin Per Unit

Muffins                        0.2                                           $4

Coffee Cakes        0.3                                        $5

Answer:

Total contribution margin = $ 60,000.00

Explanation:

<em>When a business is faced with a problem of shortage of a resource which can be used to produced more than one product type, to maximize the use of the resource , the business should allocate it for production purpose in  such a way that it maximizes the contribution per unit of the scare resource.</em>

Therefore Crane Company should alocate the oven hours to maximise the contribution per unit of oven hour. This is done as follows:

Step 1

<em>Calculate he contribution per oven hour and rank the product</em>

                                                                      cont/hr                   ranking

Muffin                        $4/0.2 hour =              20                     <em> 1st</em>

Coffee cakes                 $5/0.3 hour=        16.67                      2nd

<em>Because Muffin generates the highest contribution per hour of Oven, Crane should allocate all the resource to it</em>

Step 2

<em>Calculate the Total contribution from the production of Muffin</em>

Total contribution margin = 20 per her × 3000

                                        = $ 60,000.00

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Muffins

Contribution hours = 0.2

Margin per unit = $4

Coffee Cakes

Contribution hours = 0.3

Margin per unit = $5

Required margin per unit contribution hours, muffins = 4/0.2

= $ 20

Required margin per unit contribution hours, coffee cakes = 5/0.3

= $ 16.67

For the most profitable product, muffins = $ 20 per unit contribution hours.

At 3000 hours of oven contribution hours,

Contribution margin = $ 20 × 3000

= $ 60,000 per unit.

Answer:

$532,000

Explanation:

The opportunity cost is the cost of the best option rejected.

In this case the option rejected was the investment project that would have returned a total fo 532,000

Therefore, the model 240 should produce a higher profit than 532,000 to reject his project.

The 310 model would have unused capacity as it has more capacity than model 240 but the company will not need to produce as much. So it is discarted from the calculation as it has inefficiency

First National Bank (FNB) has a reserve ratio of 20 percent, a required reserve ratio of 10 percent, and deposits of $1,000. If
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is then it has required reserves of $110 and holds excess reserves of $190.

Explanation:

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

Total deposit = $1,000 + $100 = $1,100

So, we can calculate the total reserve required by using following formula:

Total reserve required = 10% × Total deposit

= 10% × $1,100 = $110

And Previous excess = $100

Current access = $90

So, Excess reserve =  Previous excess +  Current access

= $100 + $90

= $190

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A: The sale of a security with a commitment to repurchase the same security at a specified future date and a designated price

A repurchase agreement (Repo) is a short term agreement between two parties in which one party sells the other party security (usually government securities) a<u>t a price with an agreement to repurchase the exact same security at a fixed time and price.</u> The maturity for a repurchase agreement can be from overnight to a year.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

My straight answer is you need a Diverse team with somewhat a high level of management with Gain Sharing Program as the incentive programme.

Explanation:

Since the question is long, I'll make it shorter. The team is New, the goal is wide, the team's autonomy (working independence) is not much strong.

A Diverse team is required as the set of tasks needed to be done requires different skill sets. (like law, tax, etc.)

Although the team is highly talented, they are new and not much experienced. So, a high level of management is required at the beginning until the team stabilizes.

Since its a new and diverse team, team spirit has to be established. An unfitting rewarding system could be the very beginning of various conflicts, trust issues and jealousy among peers in the group. Eventually destroying the team altogether.

Gain Sharing program mainly focus on improving the team productivity through participation, involvement and creative innovation. Eventually the entire team's productivity goes up and then the entire team is rewarded.
