Consider a continuous operation in which raw tomatoes arrive to a processing unit in bulk. The tomatoes arrive at an average steady rate of 75 tons per hour from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every day. The processing begins as soon as the tomatoes start arriving, at 8 a.m. However, the processing unit can only process at a steady rate of 25 tons/hr. If need be, the processing unit can process for 24 hours a day. If tomatoes arrive when the processing unit is busy, a queue of inventory will form.
a. How many hours a day does the processing unit operate?
b. What is the maximum inventory of raw tomatoes?
c. What is the capacity utilization of the processing unit?
(Hint: This is equivalent to the fraction of a day the plant operates)
d. How long on average does a tomato stay in the queue?
(Hint: First calculate average inventory and average throughput for the entire time
the processing unit is operating. Then use little’s law to calculate CT.)
Answer:
15250 T62.5%5 hExplanation:
a) The amount of tomatoes that arrive in the 5 hours between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m each day is ...
(75 T/h)(5 h) = 375 T
Processing at the rate of 25 T/h takes ...
(375 T)/(25 T/h) = 15 h
The processing unit must operate 15 hours per day to process the arriving tomatoes.
__
b) The arriving tomatoes are processed at the rate of 25 T/h, so the net addition to inventory from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. is 75 -25 = 50 T/h. Over those 5 hours, an inventory accumulates in the amount of ...
(50 T/h)(5 h) = 250 T
The maximum inventory of raw tomatoes is 250 tons.
__
c) The processing unit operates 15 hours of each 24-hour day, so is operating at 15/24 = 5/8 = 62.5% of capacity.
The capacity utilization of the processing unit is 62.5%.
__
d) Inventory both increases and decreases linearly, so the average inventory is half the peak inventory. Average inventory is 250/2 = 125 tons. This is processed at the rate of 25 T/h, so the amount of time the average tomato spends in inventory is ...
(125 T)/(25 T/h) = 5 h
The average tomato stays in the queue 5 hours.
Which of the following statements is FALSE? Group of answer choices The right discount rate for a cash flow is the rate of return available in the market on other investments of comparable risk and term. To compensate for the risk that they will receive less than promised if the firm defaults, investors demand a lower interest rate than the rate on U.S. Treasuries. The equivalent after-tax interest rate is r(1 - τ). The actual cash flow that the investor will get to keep will be reduced by the amount of any tax payments.
Answer:
To compensate for the risk that they will receive less than promised if the firm defaults, investors demand a lower interest rate than the rate on U.S. Treasuries.
Explanation:
Investors are risk averse, this means that they will always prefer those investments with lower risks. Since US treasuries are considered the safest investments, they are used to calculate the risk free rate.
When investors invest in other securities (not US government) they will always demand a higher return because a private entity or even a state or local government can default on a their debt. That difference between the return yielded by a US security and the return from any other investment is called the risk premium.
Salyers Family Inn is a bed and breakfast establishment in a converted 100 year-old mansion. The Inn's guests appreciate its gourmet breakfasts and individually decorated rooms. The Inn's overhead budget for the most recent month appears below: Activity Level 57 guests Variable overhead costs Supplies $148.20 Laundry 216.60 Fixed Overhead costs Utilities 170.00 Salaries and wages 4,310.00 Depreciation 2,340.00 Total Overhead Cost $7,184.80 The Inn's variable overhead costs are driven by the number of guests. What would be the total budgeted overhead cost for a month if the activity level is 53 guests. Group of answer choices $6,680.60 $26,154.40 $7,159.20 $7,184.80
Answer:
The budgeted overhead= $7,159.2
Explanation:
The budgeted Overhead cost can be determined as follow
The budgeted overhead= Fixed cost + variable cost
Fixed overhead cost = 170.00 + 4,310.00 + 2,340.00 = 6820
Variable cost per activity = ( 148.20 + 216.60)/57 = 6.4 per guest.
The budgeted cost equation = 6820 + 6.4 x
Where X represent the number of guest
The budgeted overhead = 6820 + (6.4 × 53)= $7,159.2
The budgeted overhead= $7,159.2
The requirement that certain professionals possess a license in order to work in a particular market has the effect of reducing the supply of those services, which in turn causes _________.
O price and the profits of firms in the market to increase.
O price to decrease and the profits of firms in the market to increase.
O price to increase and the profits of firms in the market to decrease.
O price and the profits of firms in the market to decrease.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The correct option is C :price to increase and the profits of firms in the market to decrease
This can be explained by the fact that, since it always been mandatory to possess a license in order to work in a particular market. This certainly reduces the competition in the market and thus, the prices would increase; therefore, as the firms have to pay for licence thus would reduce the profits of firm.
The following information was drawn from the balance sheets of the Kansas and Montana companies: Kansas Montana Current assets $ 59,000 $ 78,000 Current liabilities 40,000 43,000 Required a. Compute the current ratio for each company. b. Which company has the greater likelihood of being able to pay its bills? c. Assume that both companies have the same amount of total assets. Speculate as to which company would produce the higher return-on-assets ratio.
Answer:
a) Current ratio for Kansas company is 1.475
Current ratio for Montana company is 1.814
b) Since the current ratio for the Montana company is more than that of the Kansas company which shows better liquidity, the Montana company has the greater likelihood of being able to pay its bills.
c) Kansas company would produce the higher return-on-assets ratio.
Explanation:
Current Assets Current liabilities
Kansas Company $ 59,000 $ 40,000
Montana Company $ 78,000 $ 43,000
a) To calculate the current ratio of A company
Current ratio = [tex]\frac{Current Assets}{Current Liabilities}[/tex]
Therefore current ratio for Kansas company = $ 59,000 ÷ $ 40,000 = 1.475
Current ratio for Montana company = $ 78,000 ÷ $ 43,000 = 1.814
Direct Materials and Direct Labor Variances At the beginning of June, Bezco Toy Company budgeted 10,000 toy action figures to be manufactured in June at standard direct materials and direct labor costs as follows: Direct materials $10,500 Direct labor 4,800 Total $15,300 The standard materials price is $0.7 per pound. The standard direct labor rate is $12 per hour. At the end of June, the actual direct materials and direct labor costs were as follows: Actual direct materials $9,500 Actual direct labor 4,400 Total $13,900 There were no direct materials price or direct labor rate variances for June. In addition, assume no changes in the direct materials inventory balances in June. Bezco Toy Company actually produced 8,800 units during June. Determine the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances. Round your per unit computations to two decimal places, if required. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance = -$260 Unfavorable
Direct labor time variance = -$176 Unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances is shown below:-
Direct material quantity variance = (Standard Direct material ÷ Company budgeted × Produced units) - Actual direct material
= ($10,500 ÷ 10,000 × 8,800) - $9,500
= ($1.05 × 8,800) - $9,500
= $9,240 - $9,500
= -$260 Unfavorable
Direct labor time variance = (Standard Direct labor ÷ Company budgeted × Produced units) - Actual direct labor
= ($4,800 ÷ 10,000 × 8,800) - $4,400
= $0.48 × 8,800) - $4,400
= $4,224 - $4,400
= -$176 Unfavorable
Therefore we have applied the above formula.

The stock of Cooper Corporation is 70% owned by Carole and 30% owned by Carole's brother, Chris. During 2017, Chris transferred property (basis of $100,000 and FMV of $120,000) as a contribution to the capital of Cooper. During February 2018, Cooper adopted a plan of liquidation and subsequently made a pro rata distribution of the property back to Carole and Chris. At the time of the liquidation, the property had an FMV of $80,000. What amount of loss can be recognized by Cooper on the distribution of property?
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Since 100% of Cooper Corporation's stock were owned by Carole and Chris (who are siblings), then no one can recognize any loss or gain from the contribution of property (nor the distribution of property). Under section 351, no gain or loss can be recognized for the contribution of property in exchange for stocks in a controlled corporation.
Since the contribution was made through a carryover basis transaction less than 5 years before the liquidation, the distribution is carried out in the same way.
Galla Inc. needs to determine a price for a new product. Galla desires a 25% markup on the total cost of the product. Galla expects to sell 6420 units. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 23 Variable administrative cost per unit 25 Total fixed overhead 46,500 Total fixed administrative 30,540 Using the total cost method what price should Galla charge?
Answer:
The price Galla should charge is $75
Explanation:
Solution
Now
The total cost = variable product cost + variable administrative cost + fixed overhead + fixed administrative
= ($23 * 6,420) + ($25 * 6,420) + $46,500 + $30,540
= $147,660 + $160,500 + $46,500 + $30,540
= $385,200
Thus,
The total cost per unit = Total cost / units
= $385,200 / 6,420 units
= $60
Hence
The selling price should charge = Cost per unit * 1.25
= $60 * 1.25
= $75
Scenario 28-1 Suppose that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the entire adult population of Mankiwland can be categorized as follows: 25 million people employed, 3 million people unemployed, 1 million discouraged workers, and 1 million people who are either students, homemakers, retirees, or other people not seeking employment. Refer to Scenario 28-1. What is the unemployment rate?
Answer:
10.7%
Explanation:
Solution:
Recall that:
The Reports from Bureau of labor statistics is shown as follows:
Employed people = 25 million
Unemployed people = 3 million
Discouraged workers = 1 million
Workers or Homemakers or retirees, or students = 1 million
The next step from this scenario is to find out the unemployment rate
Now,
The rate of unemployed = (unemployed x 100 ) / labor force
= 300/28
=10.7%

Now consider the case in which the manufacturer offers a marginal unit quantity discount for the plywood. The first 20,000 square feet of any order are sold at $1 per square foot, the next 20,000 square feet are sold at $0.98 per square foot, and any quantity larger than 40,000 square feet is sold for $0.96 per square foot. What is the optimal lot size for Prefab given this pricing structure? How much cycle inven
Answer:
Explanation:
We can use the following method to solve the given problem
We are given following
Annual demand,
D = 20000*12
D = 240,000 sqft
Fixed order cost, is given as
S = $ 400
Considering the unit cost, is given as
C = $ 1
Holding cost, H = 1*20% = $ 0.2
EOQ = sqrt(2DS/H)
= √(2*240000*400/0.2)
= 30,984 sq ft
This is higher than 20,000 and less than 40,000 sq ft. For this reason, the applicable price for this quantity is $ 0.98
For C = $ 0.98, holding cost, H = 0.98*20% = $ 0.196
Revised EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.196) = 31,298 sq ft
Total annual cost of EOQ policy = D*C + H*Q/2 + S*D/Q
= 240000*0.98 + 0.196*31298/2 + 400*240000/31298
= $ 241,334.5
Now consider the next level of price, C = $ 0.96
Holding cost, H = 0.96*20% = $ 0.192
EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.192)
= 31633 sqft
This amount is will not be feasible for this price, because it requires a minimum order of 40000 sqft.
Therefore, Q = 40,000
Total annual cost = 240000*0.96 + 0.192*40000/2 + 400*240000/40000
Total annual cost = $ 236,640
Total annual cost is lowest for order quantity of 40,000 sq ft.
1) Optimal lot size = 40,000 sq ft.
2) the annual cost of this policy
= $ 236,640
3) the cycle inventory of plywood at Prefab = Q/2 = 40000/2
At prefeb= 20,000 sq ft
4) let's assume the manufacturer sells all plywood at $ 0.96, then
Holding cost, H = 0.96*20%
H= $ 0.192
EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.192)
EOQ = 31633 sqft
Total annual cost = 240000*0.96 + 0.192*31633/2 + 400*240000/31633
Total annual cost = $ 236,471.6
Difference in total annual cost = 236640 - 236471.6 = $ 168.4

Answer:
1.
Dr. Investment Account $17,000
Cr. Gain on Sale $17,000
2.
Dr. retained Earning $17,000
Cr. Gain on Sale $17,000
Explanation:
1.
If an assets is sold more than the book value, then there is a gain on the sales of asset.
Gain on Sale = Sales Proceeds - Book value of Investment = $94,000 - $77,000 = $17,000
As sales proceeds of $94,000 are credited in the Investment account, which needs to be credited by $77,000 only. The excessive amount of $17,000 should be recorded in the Gain on sale account.
2.
Error is not discovered until 2022 and earning for 2021 was transferred to retained earning. So, adjustment should me made in the retained earnings to eliminate the effect.

Paddle Paradise, Inc. sells 2 comma 000 canoes per year at a sales price of $ 470 per unit. It sells in a highly competitive market and uses target pricing. The company has calculated its target full product cost at $ 800 comma 000 per year. Fixed costs are $ 320 comma 000 per year and cannot be reduced. What is the target variable cost per unit assuming units sold are equal to units produced
Answer:
Target unitary variable cost= $240 per unit
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales in units= 2,000
Selling price= $470
Total cost= $800,000 per year
Fixed costs= $320,000 per year.
First, we need to calculate the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= total cost - total fixed costs
Total variable cost= 800,000 - 320,000
Total variable cost= 480,000
Now, we can calculate the target unitary variable cost:
Target unitary variable cost= 480,000/2,000
Target unitary variable cost=$240 per unit
c. Assume that neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 6 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 15 percent of output each year and country B saves 23 percent of output each year. Using your answer from part b and the steady-state condition that investment equals depreciation, find the steady-state level of capital per worker (k∗) , income per worker (y∗) , and consumption per worker (c∗) for each country.
Answer:
Check Explanation.
Explanation:
Note that the production function of bother country = Y=F(K,L) = K L c : k^1/2 L^1/2.
Thus Y/L = b; b = k^1/2 L^1/2/ L.
b = k^1/2.
From the question we are given that L = 6% = 0.06.
Country A saves 15% = 15/100 = 0.15 and country B saves 23% = 23/100 = 0.23.
For country A,
(a). the steady state;
∆k = 0 = y - dk.
0 = 0.15 × k^1/2 - 0.06k.
K^1/2 = 2.5, k* = 6.25
(b). y = K^1/2 = (6.25)^1/2.
y* = 2.5
(c). C = 2.5 - (0.15 × 2.5) = 2.5 - 0.375.
C* = 2.125.
Then, for COUNTRY B.
(a). ∆k = 0 = y - dk.
0 = 0.25 × k^1/2 - 0.06k.
K^1/2 = 4.167, k* = 17.36
(b). y = K^1/2 = (17.36)^1/2.
y* = 4.167.
(c). C = 4.167 - (0.25 × 4.167) = 2.5 - 0.375.
C* = 3.127.
C* = 2.125.

= $15,600 + $6,600 + $2,900
= $25,100
We took the cost of painting and deluxe roof and trailer hitch costs into account as they are supposed to increase the vehicle's future benefits.
Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Number of Years
= ($25,100 - $6,300) ÷ 5
= $3,760 per year
In the year 2022 vehicle is used only for 6 months (July to Dec), depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 is
= $3,760 × 6 ÷ 12
= $1,880
So, the Journal entry is
Depreciation expense Dr, $1,880
To Accumulated Depreciation $1,880
(Being depreciation provided for the year 2022 is recorded)
Therefore for recording the depreciation provided for the year 2022 we simply debited the depreciation expenses while we credited the accumulated depreciation.
The journal entry will include a depreciation account as well as accumulated depreciation.
What is depreciation?Depreciation can be defined as the amount deducted from the asset because of the wear and tear of the asset after its use Which will reduce the price of the asset.
Capitalization for a new car should be calculated as follows: Cost + Painting and Logo Cost + Deluxe Roof Rack and Trailer Hitch
= $15,600 + $6,600 + $2,900
= $25,100
We factored in the price of the painting, a luxurious roof, and a trailer hitch because such expenses should raise the car's potential future value.
Depreciation is calculated as (Cost - Salvage Value) x Years.
= ($25,100 - $6,300) ÷ 5
= $3,760 annually
For the year ending December 31, 2022, the depreciation expense for the automobile operated for only 6 months (July to December) is
= $3,760 × 6 ÷ 12
= $1,880
The journal entry is therefore
depreciation costs (dr.) $1,880
accumulated depreciation $1,880

Kara owns a 40% interest in the partnership and has a September 30 tax yearminus−end, and Mark owns the remaining 20% interest and has an October 31 tax yearminus−end. The partnership does not have a natural business year. What is the required tax yearminus−end for the partnership (if no Sec. 444 election is made)? A. September 30 B. October 31 C. December 31 D. June 30
Answer:
D. June 30
Explanation:
Since no Sec. 444 election is made, the required tax yearmius-end for the partnership will be the tax yearminus−end of a partner with at least 40% interest.
Since Bob is a 40% partner and has a June 30 tax yearminus−end, therefore, the required tax yearminus−end for the partnership is June 30.
Firm 1 produces output X with a cost function C_1(X)=\frac{X^2}{200}. Firm 2 produces output Y with a cost function C_2(X,Y)=\frac{Y^2}{100}-2X. Both firms face competitive markets. The competitive price of X is 6 and the competitive price of Y is \$ 5. There is no entry or exit into this market. What is the socially optimal production of X?
Answer:
800
Explanation:
The objective here is to determine the socially optimal production of X.
For this to occur ; it is crucial that both firm must merge together.
Therefore; the Profit will be = Total revenue - Total Cost
From the question; the total revenue = 6X + 5Y ; &
The total cost is : [tex]\dfrac{X^2}{200} + \dfrac{Y^2}{100} - 2X[/tex]
Now: The profit = [tex]6X+5Y - \dfrac{X^2}{200}- \dfrac{Y^2}{100}-2X[/tex]
= [tex]8X+5Y - \dfrac{X^2}{200}- \dfrac{Y^2}{100}[/tex]
If the socially optimal production of X is the differential of the equation [tex]8X+5Y - \dfrac{X^2}{200}- \dfrac{Y^2}{100}[/tex]
(X) = [tex]8-\frac{2X}{200} =0[/tex]
= [tex]8-\frac{X}{100} =0[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{X}{100}=8[/tex]
= 800
Thus the social optimal production of X = 800

Balser Corporation manufactures and sells a number of products, including a product called JYMP. Results for last year for the manufacture and sale of JYMPs are as follows: Sales $ 960,000 Less expenses: Variable production costs $ 464,000 Sales commissions 144,000 Salary of product manager 100,000 Fixed product advertising 160,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 132,000 1,000,000 Net operating loss $ (40,000 ) Balser is trying to decide whether to discontinue the manufacture and sale of JYMPs. All expenses other than fixed manufacturing overhead are avoidable if the product is dropped. None of the fixed manufacturing overhead is avoidable. Assume that dropping Product JYMP would result in a $90,000 increase in the contribution margin of other products. If Balser chooses to discontinue JYMP, the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) of eliminating this product should be:
Answer:
$2,000 disadvantage
Explanation:
The computation of the annual financial advantage or disadvantage of eliminating the product is shown below:
Sales $960,000
Less Variable production costs ($464,000)
Less Sales commission ($144,000)
Less salary of product manager ($100,000)
Less fixed product advertising ($160,000.00)
Less contribution margin from other products ($90,000)
Income from JYMP 2,000.00
This is the financial disadvantage for eliminating the product of $2,000 so the company should continue to manufactured the JYMP
And the fixed cost is not considered here as it is not relevant because it has fixed in nature does not have create any impact whether company should manufactured the product or not

Cawley Company makes three models of tasers. Information on the three products is given below.Tingler Shocker Stunner Sales $296,000 $504,000 $200,000 Variable expenses 145,000 190,000 135,000 Contribution margin 151,000 314,000 65,000 Fixed expenses 114,840 225,160 92,000 Net income $36,160 $88,840 $(27,000) Fixed expenses consist of $290,000 of common costs allocated to the three products based on relative sales, as well as direct fixed expenses unique to each model of $29,000 (Tingler), $79,000 (Shocker), and $34,000 (Stunner). The common costs will be incurred regardless of how many models are produced. The direct fixed expenses would be eliminated if that model is phased out.James Watt, an executive with the company, feels the Stunner line should be discontinued to increase the company’s net income.
(a) Compute current net income for Cawley Company. Net income $ ______
(b) Compute net income by product line and in total for Cawley Company if the company discontinues the Stunner product line. (Hint: Allocate the $290,000 common costs to the two remaining product lines based on their relative sales.)
Tingler Net Income $ _______
Shocker Net Income $ _______
Total Net Income $ _______
(c) Should Cawley eliminate the Stunner product line?

Contribution 151,000 314,000 465,000
Fixed Expenses 136,300 261,700 398,000
Net Income 14,700 52,300 67,000
c1) Cawley should not eliminate the Stunner product line.
c2) Net income would decrease from $98,000 to $67,000 if the Stunner product line is eliminated.
Explanation:
a) The decision to be made is whether to eliminate a product line or not. In making such decisions, the relevant costs to be considered are avoidable costs. Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable and should not be taken into account.
b) Stunner makes a Net Income of $31,000 without the allocated common fixed expenses. This shows that the allocated common fixed expenses is actually causing Stunner to record Net Loss. And when Stunner is eliminated the company is not better off.
c) Allocation of Fixed Expenses based on Sales:
Tingler = 296/800 * $290,000 = $107,300 Plus direct cost of $29,000 = $136,300
Shocker = 504/800 * $290,000 = $182,700 Plus direct of of $79,000 = $261,700

Analysis reveals that a company had a net increase in cash of $22,750 for the current year. Net cash provided by operating activities was $20,500; net cash used in investing activities was $11,250 and net cash provided by financing activities was $13,500. If the year-end cash balance is $27,750, the beginning cash balance was: Multiple Choice $5,000. $17,750. $50,500. $45,500. $44,500.
Answer:
The correct answer = $5,000
Explanation:
First of all, let us find the difference between the total cash provided and the total cash used up within the period:
Total cash provided = operating activities + financing activities
Total cash provided = 20,500 + 13,500 = $34,000
Total cash used up = investing activities = $11,250
Retained balance from the activities of the period = Total cash provided - Total cash used up
= 34,000 - 11,250 = $22,750
Retained balance from the activities of the period = $22,750
However, we are told that the year-end cash balance = $27,750. This means that the excess cash on the retained balance from operating activities within the period is from the beginning cash balance, and this is calculated as follows:
year-end cash balance = Retained balance from the activities + beginning cash balance
27,750 = 22,750 + beginning cash balance
∴ beginning cash balance = 27,750 - 22,750 = $5,000
∴ beginning cash balance = $5,000
Which of the following is false? Economists who advocate discretionary monetary policy argue that it is more likely to achieve the desired economic results because the monetary authority has the flexibility to shape the best monetary policy to the existing circumstances. Here is an example of zero crowding out: The government spends $100 more and the private sector doesn’t spend any less. Here is an example of complete crowding out: The government spends $100 more and the private sector spends $100 less. Not all economists believe that rule-based monetary policy is preferable to discretionary monetary policy. none of the above
Answer: None of the above
Explanation:
All of the above are correct.
For option A, Economists who advocate discretionary monetary policy do indeed believe that the monetary authority using this policy is more flexible to shape the best monetary policy to the existing circumstances.
Option B is also correct because Crowding out occurs when the government increases investment by borrowing which leaves less money for the private sector to borrow so they spend less. The government spent money here yet the private sector did not spend less so it is Zero Crowing out.
Option C by option B's explanation holds true because the entire amount the Government increased by was denied the private sector.
Option D is also true as not all Economists prefer rule-based monetary policy to discretionary monetary policy.
They are all true.
The area manager of the Red, White, and Brew Restaurants is considering two possible expansion alternatives. The required investments, expected controllable margins, and the ROIs of each are as follows:
Project Investment Controllable Margin ROI
Phoenix $120,000 $30,000 25%
Chicago $540,000 $50,000 9.25%
The Red, White, and Brew segment has currently $2,000,000 in invested capital and a controllable margin of $250,000.
1. Which one of following projects will increase the Red, White, and Brew division’s ROI?
O Both the Phoenix and Chicago optionsO Only the Phoenix optionO Only the Chicago optionO Neither the Phoenix nor the Chicago options
Answer:
Only the Phoenix
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
ROI of Red, White And Brew Segment = Controllable Margin ÷ Total Investment × 100
$250,000 ÷ $2,000,000 × 100 = 12.5%
ROI of Phoenix = 25%
ROI of Chicago = 9.25%
So only phoenix will increase the red, white and brew division’s ROI, Because Chicago ROI is less than ROI of Red, White and Brew Segment.
