Suppose that you are responsible for making arrangements for a business convention and that you have been charged with choosing

a city for the conven- tion that has the least expensive hotel rooms. You have narrowed your choices to Atlanta and Houston. The file named Hotel contains samples of prices for rooms in Atlanta and Houston that are consistent with the results reported by Smith Travel Research (smart Money, March 2009). Because considerable historical data on the prices of rooms in both cities are available, the population standard deviations for the prices can be assumed to be $20 in Atlanta and $25 in Houston. Based on the sample data, can you conclude that the mean price of a hotel room in Atlanta is lower than one in Houston

Cash balance                      $167,400

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling price of product = $50 per unit

Purchase cost of product = $20 per unit

Total budgeted sales for the year = $3,000,000

Total budgeted sales for the year (units) = 60,000 units

Month   Sales Revenue      Unit Sales

May          $175,000          3,500 ($175,000/$50)

June         240,000          4,800 ($240,000/$50)

C&A sells T-shirts for $20 that cost $5 to produce. The annual holding cost percentage is 10% and the T-shirts turn 25 times
ad-work [718]

Answer:

$0.02

Explanation:

C&A sells T-shirts for $20 that cost $5 to produce

The annual holfing cost percentage is 10%

The T-shirts turn 25 times a year

The first step is to calculate the holding cost

= $5 × 10/100

= $5 × 0.1

= 0.5

Therefore, since the T-shirts turn over 25 times a year then, the holding cost that C&A incurs for each T-shirts can be calculated as follows

= 0.5/25 times

= $0.02

Hence C&A incur a holding cost of $0.02 for each T-shirts
