Dermody Snow Removal's cost formula for its vehicle operating cost is $2,960 per month plus $326 per snow-day. For the month of December, the company planned for activity of 20 snow-days, but the actual level of activity was 18 snow-days. The actual vehicle operating cost for the month was $9,770. The spending variance for vehicle operating cost in December would be closest to: rev: ________

a. $290 U
b. $290 F
c. $942 U

Answers

Answer:

c. $942 U

Explanation:

Spending variance = Standard cost at 20 snow days - Actual operating cost.

Spending variance = [$2,960 + ($326*18)] - $9,770

Spending variance = $8,828 - $9,770

Spending variance = $942 (Unfavorable).

Note: The actual level of activity = 18 snow-days.

*Contains direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.

Janet Dunn, who has just been appointed general manager of the Westwood Plant, has been given instructions to "get things under control." Upon reviewing the plant’s income statement, Ms. Dunn has concluded that the major problem lies in the variable cost of goods sold. She has been provided with the following standard cost per swimming pool:

Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price
or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 3.6 pounds $
2.00

per pound $ 7.20
Direct labor 0.5 hours $

*Based on machine-hours.

During June the plant produced 3,000 pools and incurred the following costs:

Purchased 15,800 pounds of materials at a cost of $2.45 per pound.

Used 10,600 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.)

Worked 2,100 direct labor-hours at a cost of $6.30 per hour.

Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $3,000 for the month. A total of 1,200 machine-hours was recorded.

It is the company’s policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a monthly basis.

Required:

1. Compute the following variances for June:

a. Materials price and quantity variances.

b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.

c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances.

2. Summarize the variances that you computed in (1) above by showing the net overall favorable or unfavorable variance for the month.

Answers

Answer:

1 a. Materials price and quantity variances.

Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) * Actual Quantity purchased

= ($2.45 - $2) * 15,800

= $0.45 * 15,800

= $7110 (Unfavorable)

Materials Quantity variance = (Actual Quantity used - Standard Quantity allowed) * Standard price  

(10600 - 3000 * 3.6) * $2

= (10,600 -  10,800) * $2

= 200 * $2

= 400 (Favorable)

b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.

Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate) * Actual hours

= (6.30 - 6.6) * 2,100

= 0.3 * 2,100

= 630 (Favorable)

Labor Efficiency variance  = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed) *  Standard rate  

= (2100 - 3000 * 0.5) * 6.6

= (2,100 - 1,500) * 6.6

= 600 * 6.6

= 3960 (Unfavorable)

c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances

Variable overhead rate variance  = (Actual rate - Standard rate * Actual machine hours)

= 3000 - (2.10 * 1200)

= 3,000 - 2,520

= 480 Unfavorable

Variable overhead Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed)* Standard rate

= (1200 - 3000 * 0.3) * 2.10    

= (1200 - 900) * 2.10

= 300 * 2.10

= 630 (Unfavorable)

Material price variance                             7,110 U

Material quantity variance                         400 F

Labor rate variance                                    630 F

Labor efficiency variance                           3,960 U

Variable overhead rate variance               480 U

Variable overhead efficiency variance      630 U

Fremont Enterprises has an expected return of and Laurelhurst News has an expected return of . If you put of your portfolio in Laurelhurst and in​ Fremont, what is the expected return of your​ portfolio?

Answers

The question is incomplete as it is missing the figures. The complete question is,

Fremont Enterprises has an expected return of 15% and Laurelhurst News has an expected return of 20%.  If you put 70% of your portfolio in Laurelhurst and 30% in Fremont, what is the expected return of your portfolio?

Answer:

Portfolio return = 0.185 or 18.5%

Explanation:

The expected return of a portfolio is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks returns' that form up the portfolio. The expected return of a portfolio can be calculated using the following formula,

Portfolio return = wA * rA  +  wB * rB  +  ...  +  wN * rN

Where,

w represents weight of each stock in the portfolior represents the return of each stock in the portfolio

Portfolio return = 0.3 * 0.15  +  0.7 * 0.2

Portfolio return = 0.185 or 18.5%

On December 18, 2017, Stephanie Corporation acquired 100 percent of a Swiss company for 4.0 million Swiss francs (CHF), which is indicative of book and fair value. At the acquisition date, the exchange rate was $1.00 = CHF 1. On December 18, 2017, the book and fair values of the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities were:

Cash CHF 814,000
Inventory 1,314,000
Property, plant & equipment 4,014,000
Notes payable 2,128,000

Stephanie prepares consolidated financial statements on December 31, 2017. By that date, the Swiss franc has appreciated to $1.10 = CHF 1. Because of the year-end holidays, no transactions took place prior to consolidation.

Required:
a. Determine the translation adjustment to be reported on Stephanie’s December 31, 2017, consolidated balance sheet, assuming that the Swiss franc is the Swiss subsidiary’s functional currency. What is the economic relevance of this translation adjustment?

b. Determine the remeasurement gain or loss to be reported in Stephanie’s 2017 consolidated net income, assuming that the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. What is the economic relevance of this remeasurement gain or loss?

Answers

Answer:

a. Translation adjustment = $401,400

b. Remeasurement loss = –$131,400

Explanation:

a. Determine the translation adjustment to be reported on Stephanie’s December 31, 2017, consolidated balance sheet, assuming that the Swiss franc is the Swiss subsidiary’s functional currency. What is the economic relevance of this translation adjustment?

This can determined as follows:

Step 1: Calculation of beginning net asset in

Particular                                         Amount (CHF)    

Cash CHF                                             814,000

Inventory                                             1,314,000

Property, plant & equipment            4,014,000

Notes payable                                (2,128,000)  

Beginning net asset                        4,014,000  

Beginning net asset in USD = Beginning net asset in Swiss francs (CHF) * Beginning exchange rate = CHF4.014,000 * $1 = $4,014,000

Step 2: Calculation of ending net asset

Ending net asset in USD = Beginning net asset  in Swiss francs (CHF) * Ending exchange rate = CHF4.014,000 * $1.10 = $4,415,400

Step 3: Calculation translation adjustment

Translation adjustment = Ending net asset in USD - Beginning net asset in USD = $4,415,400 - $4,014,000 = $401,400

Economic relevance of this translation adjustment

The positive translation adjustment implies that the equity of stockholders has increased by $401,000.

We obtained a positive value because the net position of the subsidiary in Switzerland is CHF4,014,000 and there was a Swiss franc appreciation of $0.10 (i.e. $1.10 - $1.00 = $0.10).

The translation adjustment of $401,000 does not however implies that it was made as a dollar cash flow. The only condition that can make to turn to a profit is if this operation is sold at CHF4,014,000 on December 31 and the amount realized as a proceed is changed to dollars at ruling exchange rate of $1.10 to a Swiss franc on December 31, 2017.

b. Determine the remeasurement gain or loss to be reported in Stephanie’s 2017 consolidated net income, assuming that the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. What is the economic relevance of this remeasurement gain or loss?

This can be determined as follows:

Beginning net liabilities in Swiss franc = Cash - Note payable = CHF814,000 - CHF2,128,000 = –CHF1,314,000

Beginning net liabilities in USD = Beginning net liabilities in Swiss franc * Beginning exchange rate = –CHF1,314,000  * $1.00 = –$1,314,000

Ending net liabilities in USD = Beginning net liabilities in Swiss franc * Ending exchange rate = –CHF1,314,000  * $1.10 = –$1,445,400

Remeasurement loss = Ending net liabilities in USD – Beginning net liabilities in USD = [–$1,445,400] – [–$1,314,000] = –$131,400

Economic relevance of this remeasurement gain or loss

There is a negative remeasurement or remeasurement lost because the net monetary liability position of the Swiss subsidiary is CHF 1,314,000. The appreciation of the Swiss franc by $0.10 results in a loss of $131,400] that not is unrealized.

The readjustment loss of $131,400 does not however implies that it was a dollar cash outflow. The only condition that can make it to turn to a loss is if this operation is sold on December 31. This will lead to the realization of a transaction gain of $81,400 [i.e. CHF814,000 x ($1.10 - $1.00)].

Also, the Swiss franc note payable will be paid off by using the US dollar. This will bring about the realization of a truncation loss of $212,800 [i.e. CHF2,128,000 x ($1.10 - $1.00)].

A project will reduce costs by $38,500 but increase depreciation by $18,300. What is the operating cash flow if the tax rate is 35 percent?

Answers

Answer:

$31,430

Explanation:

A project will reduce costs by $38,500

The project will have an increased depreciation of $18,300

The tax rate is 35%

= 35/100

= 0.35

Therefore, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows

Operating cash flow= reduction in project cost×(1-tax rate)+(increase in the depreciation amount ×tax rate)

= $38,500×(1-0.35)+($18,300×0.35)

= $38,500×0.65+6,405

= $25,025+$6,405

= $31,430

Hence the operating cash flow is $31,430

Southland Corporation has a present capital structure consisting of common stock (10 million shares) and debt ($150 million, 8% coupon rate). The company needs to raise $60 million and is undecided between two financing plans. Plan A: Equity financing. Under this plan, an additional common stock will be sold at $15 per share. Plan B: Debt financing. Under this plan, the firm will issue 10% coupon bonds. At what level of operating income (EBIT) will the firm be indifferent between the two plans? Assume a 40% marginal tax rate.

Answers

Answer:

The level of operating income (EBIT) where the firm will be indifferent between the two plans is $33 million.

Explanation:

Indifferent level of EBIT refers to the EBIT level where the he Earnings Per Share (EPS) two alternative financial plans are the same.

Indifferent level of EBIT can be calculated using the following formula:

[(EBIT - FB) * (1 - T)] / SA = [(EBIT - FB) * (1 - T)] / SB .................... (1)

Where:

EBIT = Indifference level of EBIT

FA = Fixed interest costs under plan B = Interest on existing debt = $150 * 8% = $12 million

FB = Fixed interest costs under plan A = Interest on existing debt + Interest on new debt = ($150 * 8%) + ($60 * 10%) = $18 million

T = Tax rate = 40%, or 0.40

SA = Number of equity shares outstanding under Plan B = Existing number of shares + New number of shares = 10 million + ($60 million / $15) = 10 million + 4 million = 14 million

SB = Number of equity shares outstanding under Plan A = Existing number of shares = 10 million

Substiuting the values into equation (1) and solve for EBIT, we have:

[(EBIT - 12) * (1 - 0.40)] / 14 = [(EBIT - 18) * (1 - 0.40)] / 10

[(EBIT - 12) * 0.60] / 14 = [(EBIT - 18) * 0.60] / 10

[EBIT0.60 - 7.20] / 14 = [(EBIT0.06 - 10.80] / 10

[EBIT0.60 - 7.20] * 10 = [(EBIT0.06 - 10.80] * 14

EBIT6 - 72 = EBIT8.40 - 151.20

-72 + 151.20 = EBIT8.40 - EBIT6

EBIT2.40 = 79.20

EBIT = 79.20 / 2.40

EBIT = $33 million

Therefore, the level of operating income (EBIT) where the firm will be indifferent between the two plans is $33 million.

Answers

Answer:

d.$4,662.40 unfavorable

Explanation:

Calculation for direct materials price variance

The first step is to find the Actual quantity variance using the formula

Actual quantity variance =Actual units produced* Actual yard used

Let plug in the formula

Actual quantity variance=9,400*4.96 yards

Actual quantity variance=$46,624

Second step is to calculate for the Direct material price variance using this formula

Direct material price variance= ( Standard price -Actual price)* Actual quantity used

Let plug in the formula

Direct material price variance=($1.93-$2.03)*$46,624

Direct material price variance=(-0.1*46,624)

Direct material price variance=-$4,662.40 Unfavorable

Therefore the Direct material price variance will be $4,662.40 Unfavorable

Find the operating cash flow for the year for Harper​ Brothers, Inc. if it had sales revenue of ​, cost of goods sold of ​, sales and administrative costs of ​, depreciation expense of ​, and a tax rate of .

Answers

Answer:

$101,960,000

Explanation:

For the computation of operating cash flow first we need to follow some steps which are shown below:-

Step 1

EBIT = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Sales and administrative costs - Depreciation

= $302,100,000 - $135,900,000 - $39,600,000 - $65,000,000

= $61,600,000

Step 2

Net income = EBIT - Tax

= $61,600,000 - ($61,600,000 × 40%)

= $61,600,000 - $24,640,000

= $36,960,000

and finally

Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation

= $61,600,000 - $24,640,000 + $65,000,000

= $101,960,000

Geese Company utilizes the LIFO retail inventory method. Its cost-to-retail percentage is 60% based on beginning inventory and 64% based on current-period purchases. The company determined that beginning inventory at retail was $200,000 and that during the current period a new layer was added with retail value of $50,000. The cost of ending inventory should be

Answers

Answer:

$152,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the cost of the ending inventory

First step is to calculate the cost-to-retail percentage of the beginning inventory amount

Using this formula

Beginning Inventory =Cost-to-retail percentage*Beginning inventory at retail

Let plug in the formula

Beginning Inventory =60%*$200,000

Beginning Inventory =$120,000

Second step is to calculate current-period purchases percentage of the new layer amount

Using this formula

Current period purchases= Purchases percentage* New layer

Let plug in the formula

Current period purchases=64%*50,000

Current period purchases=$32,000

The last step is to find the cost of the ending inventory using this formula

Ending inventory cost=Beginning Inventory+Current period purchases

Let plug in the formula

Ending inventory cost=$120,000+$32,000

Ending inventory cost=$152,000

Therefore the cost of the ending inventory will be $152,000

You just sold 500 shares of Wesley, Inc. stock at a price of $30.92 a share. Last year, you paid $32.04 a share to buy this stock. What is your capital gain on this investment

Answers

Answer:

-$560

Explanation:

The computation of capital gain on this investment is shown below:-

Capital gain = (Stock price - Paid shares) × Sold shares

where,

The Stock price is $30.92

Paid shares is $32.04

And, the sold shares is 500 shares

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the capital gain on this investment is

= ($30.92 - $32.04) × 500

= -$1.12 × 500

= -$560

If D​ = 8,200 per​ month, S​ = ​$44 per​ order, and H​ = ​$2.00 per unit per​ month, ​a) What is the economic order​ quantity? The EOQ is 601601 units ​(round your response to the nearest whole​ number). ​b) How does your answer change if the holding cost​ doubles? The EOQ is 425425 units ​(round your response to the nearest whole​ number). ​c) What if the holding cost drops in​ half? The EOQ is nothing units ​(round your response to the nearest whole​ number).

Answers

Answer: A) The Economic Order Quantity is 601 units.  

B)The Economic Order Quantity is 425 units.

C )The Economic Order Quantity is 849 units

Explanation:

EOQ, economic order​ quantity = [tex]\sqrt{ 2 x Dx S/ H}[/tex]

where D=  demand

S = Order cost

H= holding cost.

a)when  D​ = 8,200 per​ month, S​ = ​$44 per​ order, and H​ = ​$2.00

EOQ, economic order​ quantity = [tex]\sqrt{2x D x S /H}[/tex]

=  [tex]\sqrt{2 x 8,200 x 44 /2 }[/tex] =  [tex]\sqrt{360,800}[/tex] = 600.666= 601 units

b) if the holding cost​ doubles, holding cost = HX 2 = 2 X 2  = 4

EOQ, economic order​ quantity =[tex]\sqrt{ 2 x D xS /H }[/tex]

= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 8,200 X 44 / 2 X $2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{180,400}[/tex] = 424.73 = 425units

C) if the holding cost drops in​ half, holding cost = H/2 = 2 X 1/2 = 1

EOQ, economic order​ quantity =[tex]\sqrt{ 2 x D xS /H }[/tex]

= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 8200 x 44/1}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{721,600}[/tex] = 849.47 = 849units

Debra and Merina sell electronic equipment and supplies through their partnership. They wish to expand their computer lines and decide to admit Wayne to the partnership. Debra's capital is $200,000, Merina's capital is $160,000, and they share income in a ratio of 3:2, respectively.Required:Record Wayne's admission for each of the following independent situations:a. Wayne directly purchases half of Merina's investment in the partnership for $97,000.b. Wayne invests the amount needed to give him a one-third interest in the partnership's capital if no goodwill or bonus is recorded.

Answers

Answer:

a. Merina's captal is $160,000. Half would be $80,000.

Entry;

DR Merina, Capital ..................................................................$80,000

CR Wayne, Capital ....................................................................................$80,000

(To record purchase of half of Merina Capital)

b.

DR Cash......................................................................$180,000

CR Wayne, Capital.........................................................................$180,000

(To record Wayne investment)

Working

The current Capital amount is;

= 200,000 +160,000

= $360,000

If Wayne joins and adds to this such that he owns 1/3 then;

2/3x = 360,000

x = 360,000/2/3

x = $540,000

Wayne's share would be;

= 1/3 * 540,000

= $180,000

The journal entries that would take place will take effect as A- A debit in Merina's capital amount and Cash account as $17000 and a credit effect in Wayne's capital account. The amount of debit and credit will be $97000.

And for B- There will be Debit in Cash account effecting a credit in The Wayne's capital account. The amount effecting the debit and credit side will be $180,000.

The journal entries are added in the images attached to the answer. The entries would take place in the journal entries on the respective date of their occurrence.( Image attached below).

When Wayne is introduced as partner for one third share the calculation of the amount of his capital would be shown as considering the capital as x. The capital by existing partners is $360000. (Image below).

,[tex]\dfrac{2}{3}x\ = 360000[/tex]

[tex]x= \dfrac {360000}{\dfrac{2}{3}}[/tex]

Now the value of x will be calculated as

[tex]x= \dfrac{540000}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=180000[/tex]

Therefore Wayne's capital will be calculated as $180,000, so he will be required to bring in additional $180,000 capital in the firm for getting one third share in the profits and losses of the company.

Hence, the correct statements for A will be that Wayne pays $97000 which will be divided in Merina's capital and cash accounts in the proportion of $80000 and $17000 respectively.

. Define a primary and secondary market for securities and discuss how they differ. Discuss how the primary market is dependent on the secondary market. (

Answers

Explanation:

Primary market for securities is one that provides access to buy new new issues of stocks and bonds of a company. A good example of primary market is an Initial Public Offering (IPO), organized by a company that wants to sell it's shares for the first time to investors.

While Secondary market, are places to sell securities to a secondary (second) buyer from the current security owner who bought from the primary market.

The primary market is dependent on the secondary market since it is the demand from the secondary market that determines the asset valuation of the primary market.

Emira wants to buy a classic drawing from an art centre in Kuala Lumpur. She managed to secure a painting by a renowned Malaysian artist that costs her RM99,800. Currently, she only has RM12,650 in her savings account and she intends to use 70% of her saving to fund the purchase. If she borrows the remaining amount from Bank Atlantis that levies 4.77% of interest rates, determine the total interest payment that she will pay if the agreement takes 10 years of settlement.

Answers

Answer:

RM23,617.80

Explanation:

cost of the painting RM99,800

she has RM12,650 on her bank account and she will use 70% = RM8,855 as down payment. She will borrow the rest = RM99,800 - RM8,855 = RM90,945

interest charged on the loan 4.77% / 12 = 0.3975%

120 monthly periods (10 years)

using the present value formula to determine the monthly payment:

PV = monthly payment x annuity factor

monthly payment = PV / annuity factor

PV = 90,945

annuity factor (120 periods, 0.3975%) = 95.26168

monthly payment = 90,945 / 95.26168 = 954.69

total payments = 120 x 954.69 = RM114,562.80

interests paid = RM114,562.80 - RM90,945 = RM23,617.80

Answers

Answer:

The Company WACC is 6.1%

Explanation:

WACC is the averge cost of capital that a company bears based on the weights of each financing option available to the company.

First we need to calculate the Market values

Debt = $50 M x $1,050 / $1,000 = $52.5 M

Common Equity = $30 M

Preferred equity = $20 M x $90 / $100 = $18 M

Total Capital = $52.5 M + $30 M + $18 M = $100.5

Now we need to calculte the Cost of each financing option

Cost of Debt

Price of Bond = C x ( 1 - ( 1 + YTM )^-n / r + Face value / ( 1 + YTM )^n

$1,050 = $60 x ( 1 - ( 1 + YTM )^-5 / YTM + $1,000 / ( 1 + YTM )^5

YTM = 4.85%

Cost of Common Equity = 12%

Cost of Preseferred Stock = $5 / $90 = 0.05556 = 5.56%

Now use following fomula to calculte the WACC

WACC = ( Common Equity weight x Cost of Common equity ) + ( Weight of Debt x Cost of Debt x ( 1 - Tax rate ) + ( Weight of Preferred Shares x Cost of Preferred Shares )

Now Place all the valus in the formula

WACC = ( $30 / $100.5 x 12% ) + ( $52.5 / $100.5 x ( 1 - 40% ) x 4.85% ) + ( $18 / $100.5 x 5.56% )

WACC = 3.58% + 1.52% + 1.00% = 6.1%

If a company would still have a cash flow item even if they rejected potential new Project A, should this particular cash flow item be included in Project A's cash flow analysis?

Answers

Answer: No

Explanation:

When computing a project analysis for a project, only relevant cash flow should be included in the Project's cash flow analysis. Relevant cash-flow are those that will only occur if the project was embarked on.

If the cash flow in question is still going to occur even if the project wasn't initiated as is the case with Project A, it is not a relevant cash-flow and should not be included in the cash-flow analysis.

Assume you have a margin account with a 50% initial margin. You purchase 100 shares of stock at $80 per share. The price increases to $100 per share. What is the net value of your investment (margin) now

Answers

Answer:

Net value of the investment (margin) is $6,000

Explanation:

The initial margin = (100 shares * $80) * 50%

The initial margin = $4,000

Increase in the Margin value = 100 shares* ($100-$80)

Increase in the Margin value = 100 shares * $20

Increase in the Margin value =$2,000

Net value of the investment (margin) = $4,000 + $2,000

Net value of the investment (margin) = $6,000

If the economy is normal, Charleston Freight stock is expected to return 16.5 percent. If the economy falls into a recession, the stock's return is projected at a negative 11.6 percent. The probability of a normal economy is 70 percent while the probability of a recession is 30 percent. What is the variance of the returns on this stock

Answers

Answer:

Variance of the returns of this stock is  0.01658177

Explanation:

Mean return = 0.7 * 16.5% + 0.3*-11.6%

Mean return =  0.1155 - 0.0348

Mean return = 0.0807

Mean return = 8.07%

Variance of the return = 0.7 * (16.5%-8.07%)^2 + 0.3 * (-11.6%-8.07%)^2

Variance of the return = 0.7 * (8.43%)^2 + 0.3 * (-19.67%)^2

Variance of the return = 0.7 * (0.0843)^2 + 0.3 * (-0.1967)^2

Variance of the return = 0.0049745 + 0.011607267

Variance of the return = 0.01658177

Q3) Creative Sports Design (CSD) manufactures a standard-size racket and an oversize racket. The firm’s rackets are extremely light due to the use of a magnesium-graphite alloy that was invented by the firm’s founder. Each standard-size racket uses 0.125 kilograms of the alloy and each oversize racket uses 0.4 kilograms; over the next two-week production period only 80 kilograms of the alloy are available. Each standard-size racket uses 10 minutes of manufacturing time and each oversize racket uses 12 minutes. The profit contributions are $10 for each standard-size racket and $15 for each oversize racket, and 40 hours of manufacturing time are available each week. Management specified that at least 20% of the total production must be the standard-size racket. How many rackets of each type should CSD manufacture over the next two weeks to maximize the total profit contribution? Assume that because of the unique nature of their products, CSD can sell as many rackets as they can produce.

Answers

Answer:

165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)

42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)

total profit contribution = (165 x $15) + (42 x $10) = $2,895

Explanation:

                                         materials          machine hours      profit

standard size                    0.125 kg              1/6                        $10

oversize                             0.4 kg                 1/5                        $15

constraints 80 kilograms of materials

40 hours of manufacturing

profit per machine hour:

standard size  $10 x 6 = $60 x 40 hours = $2,400 (total possible production = 240 rackets)

oversize  $15 x 5 = $75 x 40 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)

profit per kilogram of alloy:

standard size  $10 / 0.125 = $80 x 80 kgs = $6,400 (total possible production = 480 rackets)

oversize  $15 / .4  = $37.50 x 80 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)

since the most important constraint is the manufacturing hours available, the company should try to produce the products that yield the highest contribution margin per machine hour. In this case, at least 20% of total production must be standard size rackets, so the remaining 80% should be oversize rackets that yield a higher profit.

165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)

42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)

total manufacturing time = 40 hours

if we produce 166 oversize rackets and 41 standard size rackets, total manufacturing time will exceed 40 hours (40.03 hours exactly).
