A firm is weighing three capacity alternatives: small, medium, and large job shop. Whatever capacity choice is made, the market

for the firm's product can be "moderate" or "strong." The probability of moderate acceptance is estimated to be 40 percent; strong acceptance has a probability of 60 percent. The payoffs are as follows. Small job shop, moderate market = $24,000; Small job shop, strong market = $54,000. Medium job shop, moderate market = $20,000; medium job shop, strong market = $64,000. Large job shop, moderate market = -$2,000; large job shop, strong market = $96,000. Which capacity choice should the firm make?

Answer:

<u>Since expected payoff for large job shop option is highest, firm should make large job shop option as capacity choice</u>

Explanation:

Expected payoff of any capacity alternative

= Probability of moderate acceptance x Payoff of moderate acceptance + Probability of strong acceptance x Payoff of strong acceptance

= 0.40 x Payoff of moderate acceptance + 0.60 x Pay off of strong acceptance

Thus Pay off for small job shop option

= 0.40 x 24000 + 0.6 x 54000

= 9600 + 32400

= $42,000

Pay off for medium job shop option

= 0.40 x 20000 + 0.60 x 64000

= 8000 + 38400

= $ 46,400

Pay off for large job shop option

= - 0.40 x 2000 + 0.60 x 96000

= - 800 + 57600

= $56,800

QUESTION 11 Given the following information, calculate the equity dividend rate for this investment: first-year NOI: $18,750; be
Alja [10]

Answer: D. 2.2%

Explanation: Equity Dividend Rate is calculated by dividing the Before Tax Cash Flow by the Acquisition price. If you need the answer in percentage form, you then multiply by 100.

Here, before-tax cash flow =  $11,440

Acquisition price = $520,000

So Equity Dividend Rate = \frac{11440}{520000} X 100

     Equity Dividend Rate = 2.2%

In this question, you do not need the Net Operating Income (NOI). You only need the NOI if the Before Tax Cash Flow is not given and the debt service payment is. If this is the case, you subtract the debt service payment from the NOI to get the Before Tax Cash Flow.

Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Total Cost Total Activity

Machining Machine-hours $330,000 15,000 MHs

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

<u>Machinning:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 330,000 / 15,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $22 per machine-hour

<u>Machine setups:</u>

Number of setups $50,000 100 setups

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 50,000/100

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $500 per set-up

Complete Question:

Cedric, a brand manager, transferred from the united States to japan He discovered that although people in the United States highly valued individualism, people in Japan expect individuals to conform to group expectations. Cedric concluded that Japan places more of an emphasis on:

Explanation: Collectivism values the group over individuals belonging to the group. In cultures where collectivism is the norm, individuals tend to want to conform to the group expectations.

While individualism values individuals's right and uniqueness, collectivism does not  but sees value in maintaining the cohesion in a group, which in turn promotes conformity.
