Answer:

Option A

Make the logistics function more complicated

Explanation:

The JIT inventory system refers to the Just In Time inventory system.

The just-in-time (JIT) inventory system is a management strategy where warehousing of parts is minimum. Rather, the raw material supply is aligned accurately with the production schedule of a particular good.

For example, in car production, the various car parts are supplied by various manufacturers at just the right time so they can be assembled to make up the car in the assembly line. The car assembly companies may not necessarily have to store raw materials in their ware house since the raw materials arrive "Just in time".

However, aligning the supply of raw materials accurately with production time, is a complicated task especially when a lot of manufacturers are involved and can need to plant down time if care is not taken. This makes the logistics function more complicated.

Answer:

Stock Worth Today: $3,71 + $10,93 = $14,64

Stock Worth Today: Present Value (3 Next Years) + Present Value (Perpetuity)

Explanation:

We need to apply two financial methods to find the value of the shares today.

First, the Present value formula for the next 3 years, and for the rest we apply the Perpetuity formula, then to the result of Perpetuity we apply the Present Value because it's expressed in values of Year 4.

Present Value Formula : C/(1+r)^t to each cash dividends each year.

Perpetuity Formula : Dividend / r

PV of the perpetuity = Periodic cash inflow/ Interest rate

Perpetuity = 1,60/ interest rate

Perpetuity = 1,60/ 0,10

Perpetuity = $16

The Perpetuity it's expressed at the moment of Year 4, we need to discount the Perpetuity to the current time:

Present Value Formula : C/(1+r)^t = 16/(1,10)^4 = $10,93

PV of the the next 3 years dividends.

Present Value = 1,45/(1+0,1)^1 + 1,50/(1+0,1)^2 + 1,53/(1+0,1)^3

Present Value = 1,32 + 1,24 + 1,15

Present Value = $3,71

Sabina makes $2,000 per month. She spends $300 on credit card payments and $450 on an auto loan. Does she have excessive debt?

lapo4ka [179]

She does not have an excessive debt because of her debt-to-income ratio lower than 42 percent. 42% is a limit of good average debt to income ratio and Sabina's debt to income ratio has not yet exceeded that limit. The debt to income ratio can be calculated by<span> dividing her total debt by her total income which results in 37.5% (($300+$450)/$2000 = 37.5%).</span>

velikii [3]

Answer: $47.50

Explanation:

The price pr share given debt and the number of shares if the company had both an all equity structure and a mixed structure can be expressed as;

Price per Share = Debt Value / (Number of Shares under All-equity plan - Number of shares under mixed plan)

Price per share = 109,250 / (15,000 - 12,700)

= 109,250 / 2,300

= $47.50
