Dave operates his business out of a small storefront, so he does not have a lot of shelf space for his products. Recently, a sec

tion of shelf space became available because a product was discontinued. Dave is trying to decide which of his products to put in that space. Product 1 has a contribution margin per unit of space of $2,000 and is very large in size. Product 2 has a contribution margin per unit of space of $1,200 and is very small in size. Based on this information alone, what product would be best for the open space

Answer:

Hence , product 1 should be allocated the shelf space

Explanation:

<em>Whenever a company is faced with a situation of large  shortage in resources, To maximize the  use of the resource in short supply the business should allocate the resource to the product that maximizes the contribution per unit of the scare resource.</em>

For example, the resource in short supply here in the question is the shelf space , <em>hence the contribution per shelf should be used to decide how to allocate the available shelf space to the product.</em>

<em>Product 1 gives a contribution per unit of shelf space of $2000 which is higher by $800 that of product 1. </em>

Hence , product 1 should be allocated the shelf space

Marst Corporation's budgeted production in units and budgeted raw materials purchases over the next three months are given below
posledela

Answer:

60,000 units

Explanation:

                                              January         February              

Budgeted production            50,000           60,000   (4)    

Raw materials per unit         2 pounds       2 pounds            

Raw materials needed          100,000         120,000 (3)                            

Add: Ending raw materials    36,000 (2)      48,000                

Raw materials available       136,000 (1)      168,000        

Less: Beginning raw              30,000           36,000            

materials

Budgeted raw materials        106,000        132,000      

Note:

1. Budgeted raw materials for January = Raw materials available - Beginning raw materials

106,000 = Raw materials available - 30,000

Raw materials available = 106,000 + 30,000 = 136,000 pounds

2. Raw materials needed + Ending raw materials = Raw materials available

100,000 + Ending raw materials = 136,000

Ending raw materials = 136,000 - 100,000 = 36,000

3. As the company wants raw materials on hand at the end of each month equal to 30% of the following month's production needs, the raw materials needed for the month of February -

Ending raw materials for January = Raw materials needed for February × 30%

or, 36,000 = Raw materials needed for February × 30%

Raw materials needed for February = 36,000 ÷ 30%

Therefore, Raw materials needed for February = 120,000

4. Budgeted production × Raw materials per unit = Raw materials needed

Budgeted production = Raw materials needed ÷ Raw materials per unit

Budgeted production = 120,000 ÷ 2 pounds = 60,000 units

You are considering investing in a security that matures in 10 years with a par value of $1,000. During the first five years, th
Katarina [22]

Answer:

$1,060.75

Explanation:

the yield to maturity of the second bond is to 4% semiannual or 8.16% effective annual rate.

so we have to calculate the quarterly interest rate that yields an effective annual rate of 8.16%:

0.0816 = (1 + i)⁴ - 1

1.0816 = (1 + i)⁴

⁴√1.0816 = ⁴√(1 + i)⁴

1.0198 = 1 + i

i = 0.019804 = 1.9804%

now we must discount the first bond using that effective interest rate:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 4%)²⁰ = $456.39

PV of first 20 coupon payments = $20 x 16.38304 (PV annuity factor, 1.9804%, 20 periods) = $327.66

now we must find the value of the last 20 coupon payments but at the end of year 5 = $25 x 16.38304 = $409.58. Then we calculate the PV = $409.58 / (1 + 4%)¹⁰ = $276.70

the bond's current market value = $456.39 + $327.66 + $276.70 = $1,060.75

An economy produces 10X, 20Y, and 30Z in a year. Base-year prices for these goods are $1, $2, and $3, respectively. Current-year
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

$140

Explanation:

The computation of the real GDP is shown below:

For computing the real GDP first we have to determine the inflation rate

Inflation rate formula is

= (Current year price - base year price) ÷ (Base year price)

For Product X

= ($2 - $1) ÷ (1) = 1

For Product Y

= ($3 - $2) ÷ (2) = 0.5

For Product Z

= ($4 - $3) ÷ (3) = 0.33

Now the real GDP is

= (Base year price of X)÷ (Inflation rate) + (Base year price of Y)÷ (Inflation rate) + (Base year price of Z)÷ (Inflation rate)

= (10) ÷ (1) + (20) ÷ (0.5) + (30) ÷ (0.3333)

= 10 + 40 + 90

= $140

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Answer for the question :

""The Athletic Department of Leland University is considering whether to hold an extensive campaign next year to raise funds for a new athletic field. The response to the campaigın depends heavily upon the success of the football team this fall. In the past, the football team has had winning seasons 60 percent of the time. If the football team has a winning season (W) this fall, then many of the alumnae and alumni will contribute and the cam- paign will raise $3 milion. If the team has a losing season (L), few will contribute and the campaign will lose $2 million. If no campaign is undertaken, no costs are incurred. On September 1, just before the football season begins, the Athletic Department needs to make its decision about whether to hold the campaign next year.

(a) Develop a decision analysis formulation of this problem by identifying the alternative actions, the states of nature, and the payoff table.

(b) According to Bayes’ decision rule, should the campaign be undertaken?

(c) What is EVPI?  "
