nevsk [136]

Answer:

a. No.  A state court will do a better job in this case because it exercises unlimited jurisdiction.  Moreover, you can only bring your case to a federal court if the amount of your claim is up to $75,000 or the issue is exclusive to the federal court.  This is not the case here.

b. Yes and No.  We need some additional information about the accident location to help answer this question definitively.

c. No. You should not consider accepting the offered settlement.  The jury award is meant to pay for your medical bills and also to help you recover financially as though the accident did not happen in the first place.  Accepting any lesser amount after the judgment is rendered is in bad taste.  The other party should have negotiated to settle out of court before the final judgment was rendered.  But it did not.  So, go with the jury award.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Missed work for 15 weeks

Total medical bills incurred = $50,000

Total lost wages incurred = $15,000

Jury award = $100,000 ($50,000 for medical, $15,000 for lost wages and $35,000 for punitive damages)

Settlement offer = $50,000

Accounts Payables and Accrued wages need to be deducted because they came about as a result of operations and are neither of debt or equity financing so are considered free.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Given: Total shift time = 8 hours = 8 * 60 = 480 minutes

time required for production of one saw = 6 minutes

Demand for Bow saw = Demand for frame saw = Demand for dovetail saw = 1/2 * Demand of Tenon saw

a) Mixed model schedule:

Mixed model schedule

Product no. per batch

Bow Saw 1

Frame Saw 1

Dovetail Saw 1

Tenon Saw 2

Total 5

Therefore 2 Tenon Saw, and each bow, frame, and dovetail saws will be produced before the cycle is repeated.

b) 2 Tenon Saw, 1 bow, 1 frame, and 1 dovetail saws will be produced under production sequence for one unit production.

The length of cycle will be 5*6=30 minutes i.e. the cycle will repeat once in 30 minutes for 8 hours means totally it will repeat 16 times during one shift.

c) Number of saws Swenson produce in one shift = Number of Bow saw Swenson produce in one shift + Number of Frame saw Swenson produce in one shift + Number of Dovetail saw Swenson produce in one shift + Number of Tenon saw Swenson produce in one shift
