Checking the upholstery is not one of the important pre-trip tasks. This is not something that will affect anything other than the passenger comfort during the trip. Making sure that one has enough gas and other fluids in the car is much more important to the overall trip.

Show that if the contribution to profit for trains is between $1.50 and $3, the current basis remains optimal. If the contributi

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

210

Explanation:

Let us consider that x is the number of soldiers produced each week and y is number of trains produced each week.

Also, weekly revenues and costs can be expressed in terms of the decision variables x and y.

Then,

Hence the profit which we want to maximize is given by,

Now the constraints are given as,

Finishing Constraint:

Each week, no more than 100 hours of finishing time may be used.

Carpentry Constraint:

Each week, no more than 80 hours of carpentry time may be used.

Demand Constraint:

Because of limited demand, at most 40 soldiers should be produced each week.

Combining the sign restrictions and with the objective function and constraints,and yield the following optimization model:

Such that,

First convert the given inequalities into equalities:

From equation (1):

If x=0 in equation (1) then (0,100)

If y=0 in equation (1) then (50,0)

From equation (2):

If x=0 in equation (2) then (0,80)

If y=0 in equation (2) then (80,0)

From equation (3):

Equation (3) is the line passing through the point x=40.

Therefore, the given LPP has a feasible solution first image

The optimum solution for the given LPP is obtained as follows in the second image

The optimal solution to this problem is,

And the optimum values are .

Let c be the contribution to profit by each train. We need to find the values of c for which the current, basis remain optimal. Currently c is 2, and each iso-profit line has the form

3x + 2y = constant

y = 3x/2 +constant/ 2

And so, each iso-profit line has a slope of .

From the graph we can see that if a change in c causes the isoprofit lines to be flatter than the carpentry constraint, then the optimal solution will change from the current optimal solution to a new optimal solution, If the profit for each train is c, the slope of each isoprofit line will be.

-3/c

Because the slope of the carpentry constraint is –1, the isoprofit lines will be flatter than the carpentry constraint.

If,

-3/c<-1

c >3

and the current basis will no longer be optimal. The new optimal solution will be point A of the graph.

If the is oprofit lines are steeper than the finishing constraint, then the optimal solution will change from point B to point C. The slope of the finishing constraint is –2.

If,

-3/c < -2 or

C < 1.5

Then the current basis is no longer optimal and point C,(40,20), will be optimal. Hence when the contribution to the profit for trains is between $1.50 and $3, the current basis remains optimal.

Again, consider the contribution to the profit for trains is $2.50, then the decision variables remain the same since the contribution to the profit for trains is between $1.50 and $3. And the optimal solution is given by,

z = 3× (20) + 2.5 × (60)

= 60 + 150

= 210

ioda

Answer:

Carrying and using a high-end credit card like an American Express Centurion Card would satisfy needs at what level in the Maslow hierarchy of needs?

Esteem level.

Explanation:

Maslow hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology that comprises five levels of needs that are represented in a pyramid. The needs that are lower in the pyramid are fundamental needs that have to be satisfied before the needs in the higher levels can be satisfied. The needs lower down in the pyramid are mostly physical needs like food, shelter and finances while the needs higher up in the pyramid tend to focus more in improving the quality of life of a person. They include things like; safety, love, physiological needs and self actualization.

The needs in a five-stage model can be categorized into two groups; deficiency needs and growth needs. The first four levels from the bottom can be referred to as deficiency needs while the top most level is defined as a growth need. Deficiency needs are needs that arise due to deprivation while growth needs don't come from a lack of something but a strong desire to become better. The five categories of needs are; physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self actualization.

In our case, someone carrying a high-end credit card is someone who does that out of prestige and thus is most likely in the esteem level in the Maslow hierarchy.

On December 31, 2019, Wintergreen, Inc., issued $150,000 of 7 percent, 10-year bonds at a price of 93.25. Wintergreen received $

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

June 30, 2020 Bond Interest expense Debit $5,756.25

Discount on Bonds payable Credit $506.25

Cash Credit $5,250

Explanation:

We have to calculate the interest expense. The bond interest expense = Cash payment + bond amortization discount

Given,

Bond price = $150,000

Interest = 7%

Number of period, n = 10 years × 2 (As it is a semiannual bond) = 20

Cash payment for semiannual interest = $150,000 × 0.07 × (1÷2)

Cash payment for semiannual interest = $5,250 (Credit)

Amortized bond discount (discount on bonds payable) = $10,125 ÷ 20 (as it is a semiannual payment and $10,125 is for 10 years)

Discount on bonds payable = $506.25 (Credit)

Therefore, bond interest expense = $5,250 + $506.25 = $5,756.25 (Debit)

jekas [21]

Answer:

D. $490,000

Explanation:

The inventory was valued at first-in, first-out (FIFO) costs and totaled $500,000.

Adjustments:

The goods worth $10,000 (1,000 units x $10 cost) were shipped and billed to a customer meaning that company has already recorded the sales in its income statement therefore they became the property of the customer and should not have been included in the inventory count. The $10,000 should be removed from the inventory recorded bringing the inventory balance at $490,000 ($500,000 - $10,000).

The goods worth $30,000 (6,000 units x $5 cost) will not be included in the total inventory count because the inventory is held on consignment for one of the company's supplier and the ownership of the goods belongs to the consignor (in this case, the supplier) until they are sold. The goods appear in the inventory records of the consignor (in this case, supplier) not the consignee (in this case, the company). In this case, the company has not included the goods in its inventory cost therefore no adjustment is necessary.
