Question (in proper order)

The operations manager for Dogs R Us is trying to understand the bottleneck in the dog grooming process. Times below are given in minutes per dog, and when there are two or more employees they can process two or more dogs simultaneously.

Process step Time(min./dog) Who

Verify customer information 5 Front desk (2 employees)

Crate the dog 2 Front desk (2 employees)

Wash and dry the dog 20 Washers (3 employees)

Nails and teeth 13 Nail/teeth specialists (2)

Grooming 25 Groomers (4 employees)

Call customer for pick-up 5 Front desk (2 employees)

Assuming that demand and supply exceed capacity, what is the maximum flow rate (in dogs per hour) for this process?

a. 9.2

b. 9.6

c. 10

d. None of the above

Answer:

d. None of the above

Explanation:

average time taken to:

1. verify customer info = 5mins/2 employees = 2.5mins/dog

2. crate the dog = 2min/2 employees = 1 mins/dog

3. wash and dry the dog = 20 mins/3 employees = 6.67min/dog

4. work on nails and teeth = 13 mins/ 2 employees = 6.5 min/dog

5. groom the dog = 25 mins / 4 employees = 6.25min/dog

6. call customer for pick-up = 5 mins/ 2 employees = 2.5 mins/dog

The most time is spent to wash and dry dogs (6.67 mins)

it is therefore one bottleneck

for this process a dog is processed in 6.67 mins

one hour = 60 mins

⇒ (60/6.67) dogs will be processed in an hour

that is, 9 dogs (approx)

hence, none of the above is the right option

Answer:

a) Total book value = $85,000,000

b)Market value of debt = $27,650,000

c)After tax cost of debt = 2.74%

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a) Debt = $50,000,000

Zero coupon bond = $35,000,000

Total book value = $50,000,000+$35,000,000

= $85,000,000

b) Market value of debt = $50,000,000×104%

=$52,000,000

Market value of zero coupon bond = $35,000,000×79%

=$27,650,000

Total market value = $52,000,000+$27,650,000

= $79,650,000

c) Market value weights for debt = 0.65

Market value weights for Zero coupon bond = 0.35

After tax cost for Debt ( By using financial calculator )

( 0.01857 ×2 × (1-24%)) = 2.82%

After tax cost for Zero coupon bond ( By using financial calculator )

( 0.01698 ×2 × (1-24%)) = 2.58%

Weighted cost for debt ( Weight × Cost )= 1.84%

Weighted cost for zero coupon bond ( Weight × Cost ) = 0.90%

After tax cost of debt = 1.84%+0.90%

=2.74%
