Suppose that Dunkin Donuts reduces the price of its regular coffee from $2 to $1 per cup, and as a result, the quantity sold per day increased from 10 to 40. Over this price range, the price elasticity of demand for Dunkin Donuts’ regular coffee is:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

PED = -6

Explanation:

The PED or price elasticity of demand for a product measures the responsiveness of a product's demand to the changes in the price of the product. The PED is calculated as follows,

PED = % change in Quantity demanded / % change in price

PED = [(40 - 10) / 10]  /  [(1 - 2) / 2]

PED = -6

A PED of -6 represents that quantity demanded is highly price elastic and a negative sign means that it is a normal good.

Determine:
A. The optimal order quantity.
B. The number of orders per year.
of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25
of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20
of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15
of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year.

Carrying costs are 60 cents per box a year =$0.60

and ordering costs are $96.

Determine:

A. The optimal order quantity.

The optimal order quantity can be calculated by using the formula:

[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2DS}{H}}[/tex]

[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2*18000*96}{0.60}}[/tex]

[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{3456000}{0.60}}[/tex]

[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{5760000}[/tex]

[tex]Q_o = 2400 \ boxes[/tex]

B. The number of orders per year.

of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25

of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20

of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15

of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10

SInce 2400 boxes lies within ''of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20 ''

Total cost = Carrying cost + ordering cost + Purchasing cost

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{2400}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{2400}) 96+1.20*18000[/tex]

Total cost  = ( 1200) 0.60 + 7.5(96) + 1.20(18000)

Total cost  = 720 + 720 + 21600

Total cost  =  $ 23040

If the order size is 5000, the price per box will be 1.15

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{5000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{5000}) 96+1.15*18000[/tex]

Total cost = 2500 (0.60) + 3.6 (96) + 20700

Total cost = 1500 + 345.6 + 20700

Total cost = $22545.6

If the order size is 10000 , the price per box will be 1.10

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{10000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{10000}) 96+1.10*18000[/tex]

Total cost = 5000 (0.60) + 1.8(96)  + 19800

Total cost =  3000 + 172.8 + 19800

Total cost = $22972.8

From the three total cost, the least minimum cost of ordering is: 5000

So; the number of orders per year = total number of boxes per year/ boxes per order

the number of orders per year = 18000/5000

the number of orders per year = 3.6 orders per year

The central problem in product-oriented layout planning is?

Answers

Answer: The minimizing the imbalance in the workloads among workstations.

Explanation:

Workspace can inspire informal and productive encounters if it balances what three physical and social aspects.

Given the following information. Which of the statements below can you support with this information?

Maximum capacity (labor hours): 480 hours per week
Effective capacity ratio: 85 %
Actual time worked: 380 hours per week over the last two weeks
On-time delivery %: 75 percent of the jobs are being completed on time

a. More capacity needs to be added in the short term to improve performance in the system.
b. We need to look at variability in the rate at which jobs enter the shop.
c. Our workforce is not working hard enough.
d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.
Describe the reasons why you selected the specific option(s) that you did.

Answers

Answer:

d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.

Explanation:

There are two possible sources for 25% of the jobs not being delivered on time:

we have a problem with inputs required (materials or labor)we have a problem with the capacity of our facility

If we followed Juran's Law, we can simply assume that the problem here has to do with our productive system (like 85% of production errors). Two clear problems are obvious:

only 380 hours worked out of total of 480 hours per week ⇒ why didn't anyone work during the remaining 100 hours? Is there a delay with the inputs or we don't have enough workers?only 85% of the facility's capacity is being used ⇒ why only 85% of the effective capacity ratio? If we are finishing jobs late, why do we have 15% of unused capacity?

Obviously we cannot answer these questions just be reading two paragraphs, but that is what should be answered in order to solve the issues.

air pollution causes capital to wear out more rapidly, doubling the rate of depreciation. How would this affect economic growth?

Answers

Answer:

The economic growth will be lower.

Explanation:

The rise in pollution and the doubling of the rate of depreciation will affect economic growth adversely. However, rapid wear and tear of capital will cost the person and it will reduce the purchasing power. Thus, lower purchasing power will result in lower economic growth. Moreover, pollution creates three main problems that are reduced labor productivity, rise in health problems, and loss of crop yield. So the reduction in all these factors will also slow down economic growth.

Brunette Company is contemplating investing in a new piece of manufacturing machinery. The amount to be invested is $180,000. The present value of the future cash flows generated by the project is $163,000. Should they invest in this project?

Answers

Answer:

No,  as the net present value comes in negative

Explanation:

As we know that

Net present value = Present value of cash inflows - Initial investment

where,

Present value os $163,000

And, the initial investment is $180,000

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the net present value is

= $163,000 - $180,000

= -$17,000

Therefore the company should not accept the project as net present value is in negative that is -$17,000

A firm has net working capital of $2,715, net fixed assets of $22,407, sales of $31,350, and current liabilities of $3,908. How many dollars' worth of sales are generated from every $1 in total assets

Answers

Answer:

So, from every $1 of total assets, $1.08 worth of sales are generated.

Explanation:

To calculate how many dollars worth of sales are generated by $1 of total assets, we use the total assets turnover ratio. It is an accounting measure that measures the efficiency of the company's assets in generating sales. It calculates the dollar values of sales generated by each $1 of total assets. The formula for total assets turnover is,

Total Assets Turnover = Sales / Average Total Assets

We already know the level of sales. We need to determine the value of total assets first.

Total Assets = Fixed assets + Current Assets

As we know that net working capital = current assets - current liabilities,

So, the current assets are,

2715 = Current assets - 3908

2715 + 3908 = Current assets

Current assets = $6623

Total assets = 6623 + 22407

Total assets = $29030

Total Assets Turnover = 31350 / 29030

Total assets turnover = 1.0799 rounded off to 1.08

So, from every $1 of total assets, $1.08 worth of sales are generated.

Fed is open to changing bond policy Fed policymakers signaled for the first time that they could increase or decrease stimulation of the economy in the​ future, but not now. ​Source: Los Angeles Times​, May​ 1, 2013 What are the ripple effects and time lags that the Fed must consider in deciding when to increase or decrease stimulation of the​ economy?

Answers

Answer:

When the Fed raises the federal funds rate, the inflation rate decreases about two years later.

Explanation:

When trying to stimulate the economy either by increasing or decreasing, policymakers have to take into consideration how it would effect interest rate, amount of money available in the economy, loans that would be acquired by banks and the behavior of interest rate.

Interest rate can be impacted quickly even though the period of time it would take for such action to have a reflection on what quantity of money is available in the economy. Then also a period of 2 years would be taken for this action to take effect on inflation.

Therefore

When the Fed raises the federal funds rate, the inflation rate decreases about two years later.

Pauley Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Pauley expects to sell 15,000 units and wants a target profit of $22 per unit. Additional information is as follows:

Variable product cost per unit $19
Variable administrative cost per unit 11
Total fixed overhead 13,500
Total fixed administrative 21,000

Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used?

Answers

Answer:

81%

Explanation:

Calculation for the markup percentage to variable cost that should be used

Using this formula

Markup percentage=[(Target profit + Fixed overhead costs + Fixed administrative costs) / Total variable costs

Let plug in the formula

Markup percentage=[($22*15,000 units)+$13,500+$21,000]/$30×15,000)

Markup percentage=($330,000+$13,500+$21,000)/$450,000

Markup percentage=$364,500/$450,000

Markup percentage=0.81*100

Markup percentage=81%

Calculation for Total variable costs

Variable product cost per unit $19

Variable administrative cost per unit $11

Total variable costs =$30

Therefore the markup percentage to variable cost that should be used will be 81%

b. 1.50(150%)
c. 9.0 packages per hour
d. 1.50 packages per hour
e. 9.0 minutes per package

Answers

Answer:

b. 1.50(150%)

Explanation:

Given that, the standard time per packages is 10 minutes

Then, the total time taken in eight hour shift is 8 * 60 = 480 minutes

The standard output = Total time taken / Standard time = 480/10 = 48 packages

Therefore, the efficiency of Kaitlyn = Kaitlyn's Output / Standard output

=72 / 48

= 1.5

Hence, the answer is 150% or 1.5

C. Involve consumers buying and selling with each other in an auction process at an auction website, as well as personal advertising of products or services to buy or sell at electronic newspaper sites or personal websites.
D. None of the choices are correct.

Answers

Answer:

A. Involve businesses developing attractive electronic marketplaces to entice customers and sell products and services to consumers.

Explanation:

The Business to Consumer (B2C) sales strategy corresponds to a type of sale aimed at the final consumer. This sale takes place at retail, and occurs according to the consumer purchase decision process, which identifies their needs, judges the options according to their preferences and desires and finally chooses the option that best suits their search for a particular product or service.

Therefore, in the B2C strategy, retail companies have as main objective to create in the consumer the desire for a purchase, so the most appropriate option for this issue is that developing attractive electronic markets will help the company to attract customers and sell products and services to consumers.

Harvey's marginal cost for producing the third unit of lawnmowers is the additional cost that resulted when the total cost increased from $200 to  $300.  However, it can be deciphered from the case that the marginal cost for Harvey, which it is supposed to be  a variable cost, is traceable to the direct labor costs.  This implies that the fixed cost element for Harvey in the production of the lawnmowers has been relatively fixed at $100.  It does not vary with the volume of production, while the direct labor costs vary with the volume of lawnmowers produced by Harvey.

DPMO stands for:______
a) Defects Per Million Opportunity
b) Defectives Per Million Opportunity
c) Data Per Million Opportunity
d) all of the above
e) none of the above

Answers

Answer:

a) Defects Per Million Opportunity

Explanation:

DPMO is an acronym which stands for Defects Per Million Opportunity. Defects per Million Opportunities refers to a standard metric which represents the number of defects in a process per one million opportunities.

In order to calculate the DPMO, we divide the number of defects by the number of opportunities and then multiply by a million.

Additionally, when a quality characteristics or properties do not tally with a standard or specifications it is generally referred to as a defect.

Hence, in a six sigma approach to quality or level of performance, the defects per million opportunities (DPMO) is 3.4.

Identify factors that could prevent an older, established company from effecting an enterprise-wide, customer-centric culture.

Answers

Answer:

A more established company may find it difficult to implement an enterprise-wide, customer-centric culture due to the following reasons:

A) Existence of a Multi-Product Business Model

A business entity that is well established with a lot of years under its belt will find it a tough challenge to shift from a product-oriented business model to a customer-oriented business model.

To be product-focused simply means that that a company has woven its organisational structure around products. For examples, a company that is into the gaming business may have teams for their Sports Betting Section, another for their online gaming section, game hardware section, gaming apps section etc.

First, for these various teams, their performance metric will largely depend on how functionally efficient their products are.  

Second, techy or geeky staff are seldom efficient when it comes to emotional intelligence - a key requirement for being customer efficient.

One way to handle this is to ensure that there is a central Customer Relationship Management team that oversees the customers for each product.

B) Organisational Inflexibility

As direct to the point as it sounds, getting market intelligence for with the intention to use them for decision making is challenging. What is tougher is the ability to implement the insights from such intelligence to effect a turn around in the way customers perceive and respond to a company's offerings.

The ability to quickly take gather market intel, agree on a strategic direction based on same and execute can be referred to organisational agility.  

The more bureaucratic and hierarchical an organisation is (this, by the way, characterises older and more established business systems) the less agile it is likely to be.

Cheers!

Bryce Co. sales are $801,000, variable costs are $465,100, and operating income is $287,000. What is the contribution margin ratio

Answers

Answer:

Contribution margin ratio= 0.42

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Bryce Co. sales are $801,000

Variable costs are $465,100

Operating income is $287,000.

To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:

contribution margin ratio= (sales - variable cost) / sales

contribution margin ratio= (801,000 - 465,100) / 801,000

contribution margin ratio= 0.42

Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead times, and the value-added ratio under the present and proposed production approaches. If required, round percentages to one decimal place. Present Approach Proposed Approach Value-added time 23 min 23 min Non-value-added time 1,582 min 105 min Total lead time 1,605 min 1,605 min Value-added ratio (as a percent) 14 % 21 %

Answers

Answer:

Hello some parts of your question is missing attached below is the missing part

Answer : value added times : 30 minutes , 30 minutes

               non-value added times: 1210 minutes, 130 minutes

               Total lead times : 1240 minutes,  160 minutes

               value added time as a ratio: 2.4%, 18.8%

Explanation:

Given data:

production batch sizes = 40 units

process step 1 = 6 minutes

process step 2 = 10 minutes

process step 3 = 6 minutes

process step 4 = 8 minutes

Determining : The value added, non-value added , total lead times and value added ratio under the present and proposed production approaches

UNDER PRESENT PRODUCTION APPROACH

Th value added time:

= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes

Non-value added time:

=  Value added time *(Batch size -1) + move time between each step

= 30*39+8*5

= 1170 +40 = 1210 minutes

total lead time :

= value added time + non-value added time

= 30 + 1210 = 1240 minutes

value added time as a percentage/ratio

(value added time / total lead time) * 100

= 30 / 1240 * 100 = 2.4%

UNDER PROPOSED PRODUCTION APPROACH

value added time :

= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes

Non-value added time :

=  Value added time *(Batch size -1) +  time between each step

= 30*4+2*5 = 120 + 10 = 130 mins

total lead time :

= value added time + non-value added time  = 30 +130 = 160 mins

value added time as a percentage/ratio:

(value added time / total lead time ) * 100

= (30 / 160) * 100 = 18.8%
