Muir Manufacturing produces two popular grades of commercial carpeting among its many other products. In the coming production p

eriod, Muir needs to decide how many rolls of each grade should be produced in order to maximize profit. Each roll of Grade X carpet uses 50 units of synthetic fiber requires 25 hours of production time, and needs 20 units of foam backing. Each roll of Grade Y carpet uses 40 units of synthetic fiber requires 28 hours of production time, and needs 15 units of foam backing. The profit per roll of Grade X carpet is $200 and the profit per roll of Grade Y carpet is $160. In the coming production period, Muir has 3000 units of synthetic fiber available for use. Workers have been scheduled to provide at least 1800 hours of production time (overtime is a possibility). The company has 1500 units of foam backing available for use.

Answer:

With 16 Grade X and 54 Grade Y the company maximize their profit at 11,840 dollars

Explanation:

We set up the scenario in Excel and use SOLVER tool:

X = 50 synthetic + 25 labor + 20 foam

Y = 40 synthetic + 28 labor + 15 foam

Profit:

X = 200

Y = 160

Constraing:

synthetics <= 3,000

foam <= 1,500

Grade X and Grade Y are integer.

goal: maximize profit

16 of Grade X

and 54 of grade Y

16 x 50 = 800

16 x 30  = 540

54 x 40  = 2,160

54 x 15  =    810

Profit:

16 x 200 + 54 x 160 = 11840

A portfolio consists of the following two funds. Fund A Fund B $ Invested $ 12,000 $ 8,000 Weight 60 % 40 % Exp Return 15 % 12 %
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Sharpen Ratio   =            <u>    Rp  - Rf</u>

                         standard deviation of portfolio

                        =    <u>13.8%  - 3.6%</u>

                                     173.11%

                              =   0.05892

                              = 0.059

workings

Return of portfolio   =   Ra*wa  +  Rb*Wb

                            =  15%*0.6  +  12%*0.4  

                           =   9%  +  4.8%  =  13.8%

Standard deviation of portfolio =  square root of variance

= √ stdA²wa² + stadB²wb² + 2wawbcorrAB

= √(24%*0.6)² +(14%*0.4)²  + 2*0.6*0.4*1.27

=  √207.36% + 31.36% + 0.6096

=  √2.9968

= 1.73

=  173.11%

Molly is a 30% partner in the MAP Partnership. During the current tax year, the partnership reported ordinary income of $200,000
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

$62,000

Explanation:

The partnership had a total ordinary income of $200,000. Then guaranteed payments were made to its three partners Molly, Amber and Pat of $20,000 each $20,000 x 3 = $60,000.

$200,000 - 60000

= $140,000

So the partnership adjusted income is reduced to $140,000, out of that amount, 30% belongs to Molly.

30/100 × 140,000

= $42,000

Molly's share of the partnership adjusted income is $42,000.

Molly's total earnings from the partnership are $62,000

= $20,000 + $42,000

= $62,000

Shoe Shine is a local retail shoe store located on the north side of Centerville. Annual demand for a popular sandal is 500 pair
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The optimal order will be of 100 units

Explanation:

We will solve this using the EOQ (economic order quantity) formula:

Q_{opt} = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}}

D = annual demand 500 units

S= setup cost = ordering cost = 50.00 dollars

H= Holding Cost = 5.00 dollars

Q_{opt} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 500 times 50}{5}}

EOQ = 100
