Answer:
✓VARIABLE input
✓FIXED input
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed about Bob's performance pizza, and how Bob signed a lease obligating him to pay the rent for the four ovens for the next year. We were told that "Bob's kitchen cannot fit more than four ovens" which means the oven is a " Fixed input".
✓✓A fixed input can be regarded as factor of production, resources by an organization/ firms which cannot be altered in short run, because any change will alter the quantity of output that will be produced by the firm. There are alot of firms having several fixed input in short run as regards to production. This could be equipment as well as building.
We were also informed that Bob's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because his workers tend to be students. In this case, the workers are the " Variable input"
✓✓variable input can be regarded as factor of production that is not dependent of level of production. It can be changed and this on the basis of how much it is chosen to produce, hence the cost can be changed too. Variable input could be machinery as well as labor

A new surgical facility called Cut & Sew is opening in neighborhoods throughout the United States. They are job shops that handle a variety of outpatient surgical procedures. Their process is set up so that one doctor cuts and the other sews. They have five patients to sequence for tomorrow. Since the weather forecast is for a cool and sunny day, they would also like to play golf tomorrow. They want to sequence their patients with the objective of minimizing the time from the beginning of the first job until the finish of that job. The patients and estimated times are as follows:
Patient Cut Time (hours) Sew Time (hours)
A 2.3 2.8
B 2.5 3
C 2 1.5
D 0.6 1
E 3.6 2.6
Sequence the patients using Johnson's Method, state the schedule for each operation, and determine the minimum makespan.
Answer:
Sequence: D| A| B| E| C|
Makespan = 14.1 hours.
Explanation:
Solution: We are asked to use Johnson's Method to sequence the patients and to determine the minimum makespan.
In Johnson's Method of sequencing, there are some conditions which must be met in order to solve this questions which are as follows:
1. Constant time for jobs, no variation.
2. No job priorities.
3. Jobs will go through from machine 1 to machine 2.
Keeping all those conditions in mind, let's start sequencing by Johnson's method.
Sequence:
D| A| B| E| C|
Hence, this is the sequence to reduce the total time efficiently to perform all the jobs.
Rules to do sequencing:
First of check the number of jobs, here in our case, we have 5 jobs. So create a line of 5 boxes.
Secondly, you have check the data, check for the job and the machine which gives minimum time. If machine 1 (which is Patient cut) gives minimum job time, then write it on the left most box and proceed towards right if other minimum times are also from machine 1. Otherwise, if machine 2 gives minimum job time for a particular job then write in the right most box and so on. Here you can see, Job C and Machine 2 gives the minimum job time, that is why I have put it on the right most box. Now, after including C, you cannot repeat job C. Moreover, you can see, Job D machine 1 gives minimum time, that is why wrote it in the left most box.
Hope, you have understood the method.
Let's Calculate the Makespan for this.
Makespan: It is basically the total elapsed time from the start of job 1 to the end of job 5.
I have attached a table showing the starting and ending of each job and hence calculating the makespan. Please refer to the attachment.
Makespan = 14.1 hours.

On January 1, 2009 the accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts carried balances of $20,000 (debit) and $500 (credit), respectively. During the year, the company reported revenues of $100,000; 30% of which were cash sales. There were $550 of receivables written-off as uncollectible in 2009. Cash collections of receivables amounted to $74,550. If the company estimates bad debts expense to be 1% of credit sales, determine the net realizable value of receivables appearing on the 2009 balance sheet:
Answer:
The net realizable value of receivables appearing on the 2009 balance sheet is $14,250
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the balance of account receivables
Ending balance = Beginning Balance + Credit sales - Cash collected - Bad debt written off
Where
Beginning Balance = $20,000
Credit sales = $100,000 x ( 100% - 30% ) = $70,000
Cash collected = $74,550
Bad Debt written off = $550
Placing values in the formula
Ending balance = $20,000 + $70,000 - $74,550 - $550 = $14,900
Now, we need to calculate the balance of allowance for doubtful accounts as follow
Ending Balance = Beginning balance + Bad debt Expense - Bad debt written off
Where
Beginning balance = 500
Bad debt expense = $70,000 x 1% = $700
Bad debt written off = $550
placing values in the formula
Ending Balance = $500 + $700 - $550 = $650
Now calculate the balance of realizable value of account receivables as follow
Net realizable value of receivables = Ending balance of receivables - Ending balance of allowance for doubtful accounts = $14,900 - $650 = $14,250
On January 1, 2020, Walker Inc. acquired equipment for $56,000. The expected useful life is 10 years and the residual value is $1,120. Total service hours for the equipment are estimated to be 14,000 while actual hours for 2020 were 1,260. Compute depreciation expense in 2020, under the following methods.
A. Straight-line method.
B. Double-declining-balance.
C. Sum-of-the-year digits.
D. Units-of-production.
Answer:
$5488
$11,200
$9978.18
$4939.20
Explanation:
A. Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($56,000 - $1120) / 10 = $5488
Depreciation expense for each year of the useful life would be $5488
B. Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/10) = 1/5
1/5 x $56,000 = $11,200
C. Sum-of-the-year digits = (remaining useful life / sum of the years ) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
Sum of the years = 1 +2 +3 +4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
Undepreciated life of the asset = 10
10/ 55 x ($56,000 - $1120) = $9,978.18
D. (hours used in year 1 / total number of hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(1260 / 14,000) x ($56,000 - $1120) = $4939.20
The Princeville Company placed five (5) orders for Product 12B from Brookston Corporation. Brookston has the following information about Product 12B:
Activity Cost Pools Activity Rate Product 12B
Activity Machine Setups $12.00per Machine hour 40MHs
Customer Orders $10.00per Order 5 Orders
What is the overhead cost assigned to Princeville for its five (5) orders of Product 12B?
Answer:
Cost assigned to Princeville = Machine setup cost + Customer order cost.
Cost assigned to Princeville = $12.00*40MHs + $10.00*5MHs
Cost assigned to Princeville = $530
So, the overhead cost assigned to Princeville for its five (5) orders of Product 12B is $530

Assume that an economy produces only two goods, pizza and wings, and that it is producing on its production possibilities frontier (PPF). If the economy can only produce two goods, in which ways would allow the economy to produce even more pizza?
Answer:
- growth in labour force
- improved pizza making technology
Explanation:
A production possibility frontier is a curve that shows the combinations of 2 products that can be manufactured given the available resources.
That means given the resources available there is no way a different combination of products can be manufactured.
In the given scenario there has to be an increase in resources for more pizzas to be produced.
There are two options that will allow more pizza to be produced:
- if there is growth in labour force, the production of both wings and pizzas will increase.
- of there is improved pizza making technology, the amount of pizzas produced will increase

The opportunity to defer investing in a project until a later date may have value primarily because: __________
a. the option to abandon may disappear.
b. investment costs tend to increase over time.
c. market conditions may improve.
d. the cost of capital may increase.
e. project cash flows may be lower in the future.
Answer:
c. market conditions may improve.

12. You are thinking of purchasing a house. The house costs $350,000. You have $50,000 in cash that you can use as a down payment on the house, but you need to borrow the rest of the purchase price. The bank is offering a 30-year mortgage that requires annual payments and has an interest rate of 7% per year. What will your annual payment be if you sign this mortgage? (Answer: $24,176)
Answer:
The Annual Payment will be $24,176.
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the loan amount as follow
Loan = Cost of House - Down payment = $350,000 - $50,000 = $300,000
Now use following formula to calculate the annual payment
PV of Annuity = Annuity Payment x ( 1 - ( 1 + interest rate )^-Numbers of periods ) / Interest rates
Where
PV of Annuity = Loan = $300,000
Interest rate = 7%
Numbers of periods = 30 years
Annuity Payment = Annual payment = ?
Pacing values in the formula
$300,000 = Annual Payment x ( 1 - ( 1 + 7% )^-30 ) / 7%
$300,000 = Annual Payment x 12.409
Anual Payment = $300,000 / 12.409
Anual Payment = $24,176.00
Investment A has an expected return of 14% with a standard deviation of 4%, while investment B has an expected return of 20% with a standard deviation of 9%. Therefore:__________
a. A rational investor will pick investment B because the return adjusted for risk (20% - 9%) is higher than the return adjusted for risk for investment A ($14% - 4%).
b. A risk averse investor will definitely select investment A because the standard deviation is lower.
c. it is irrational for a risk-averse investor to select investment B because its standard deviation is more than twice as big as investment A's, but the return is not twice as big.
d. rational investors could pick either A or B, depending on their level of risk aversion.
Answer:
d. rational investors could pick either A or B, depending on their level of risk aversion
Explanation:
In making investment decisions investors use various analysis to make an informed decision on which assets will suit their needs.
Two of such analysis are returns standard deviation.
Returns shows the percentage of original investment that is expected to come back as profit.
Standard deviation is the tendency of investment performance to deviate from a mean value.
The higher the standard deviation the more the risk of getting low returns or getting higher profit. This is well suited to risk takers.
The lower the standard deviation the less variance from a mean value, so risk averse investors will prefer this.
In the given scenario risk averse investors will prefer Investment A with expected return of 14% with a standard deviation of 4%. Because of the low standard deviation.
Risk takers will prefer investment B with expected return of 20% with a standard deviation of 9%. Because of the higher standard deviation.

Suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows:
Price Quantity of Pizzas Demanded Quantity of Pizzas Demanded
(Dollars) (Income = $20,000) (Income = $24,000)
8 40 50
10 32 45
12 24 30
14 16 20
16 8 12
Using the midpoint method, your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizzas increases from $14 to $16 is 0.27/0.20/5.00/3.75 if your income is $20,000 and 5.00/0.27/0.20/3.75 if your income is $24,000.
If the price of a pizza is $10, your income elasticity of demand is 1.22/0.07/0.10/1.86 as your income increases from $20,000 to $24,000. However, if the price of a pizza is $14, your income elasticity is 1.86/0.07/0.10/1.22.
Answer:
1. 5.00
2. 3.75
3. 1.86
4. 1.22
Explanation:
The calculations are all in the attachment.
1. As the price elasticity goes from $14 to $16, the price of pizza becomes $5 at an income of $20,000
2. With income = $24000, if the price should move from $14 to $16, the price elasticity of demand is 3.75
3. With the price of pizza at $10, the income elasticity of demand as income rises from 20000 to 24000 = 1.86
4. If we have price if pizza as 24 dollars, with income rising from $20000 to $24000, then the income elasticity of demand = 1.22
Please check the attachment for the calculations
The income elasticity of demand as your income increases from $20,000 to $24,000, with a price of $10, is 0.07 if the price of a pizza is $10. However, if the price of a pizza is $14, the income elasticity is 0.10. The correct option is C.
Income elasticity of demand is a measure that indicates how sensitive the quantity demanded of a good or service is to changes in income. It measures the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in income.
If the income elasticity of demand is positive, it indicates that the good is a normal good, meaning that as income increases, the quantity demanded of the good also increases.
Thus, the ideal selection is option C.

Compute the depreciation for 2016 and 2017 under each of the following methods:
a. Straight-line method
b. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method
c. Double-declining-balance method
d. Activity method based on hours worked
e. Activity method based on units of output
Answer:
$36,000 $36,000
b. $60,000 $48,000
c. $79,200, $47,520
d. $30,600, $21,600
e. $40,000 $34,000
Explanation:
A. Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
( $198,000 - $18,000 ) / 5 = $36,000
Depreciation expense each year would be $36,000
B. Sum-of-the-year digits = (remaining useful life / sum of the years ) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
Sum of the years = 1 +2 +3 +4 + 5 = 15
Depreciation expense in year 1 = (5/15) X ( $198,000 - $18,000 ) = $60,000
Depreciation expense in year 2 = (4/15) x ( $198,000 - $18,000 ) = $48,000
C. Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
2 x(1/5) = 0.4
Depreciation expense in year 1 = 0.4 x $198,000 = $79,200
Book value at the end of year 1 = $198,000 - $79,200 = $118,800
Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.4 x $118,800 = $47,520
D. Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
Depreciation expense in year 1 = (1,700 / 10,000) x ( $198,000 - $18,000 ) = $30,600
Depreciation expense in year 1 = (1,200 / 10,000) x ( $198,000 - $18,000 ) = $21,600
E. Activity method based on units of output = (output produced that year / total output capacity of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
Depreciation expense in year 1 = ( 40,000 / 180,000) x ( $198,000 - $18,000 ) = $40,000
Depreciation expense in year 12= ( 34,000 / 180,000) x ( $198,000 - $18,000 ) = $34,000

Two consumers reported that their cars,assembled in Alabama, had defective steering systems. The problem appeared to stem from a sinple assembly mistake: Bolts weren't being connected to the steering column correctly.
An editorial in The Chosun Ilbo suggests that the action should sound an alarm for Hyundai, citing Toyota's massive recall ans resulting sales problems as an example of what can happen when rapid growth overshadows a commitment to quality. Noting that Hyundai's share of the U.S. auto market was steadily increasing and that there had been another recall of 46,000 Hyundai cars with faulty front latches, the article advised Hyundai managers to focus on quality and rethink the company's rapid growth policy.
Korean automakers are hungry to become major players in the automobile industry and need new markets to expand their global share. However, parts manufacturers are having a hard time keeping up with demand, and quality control processes can falter when production increases too quickly. The article warns Korea's largest automobile manufacturer that "expansion must not come at the expense of quality"
