If the shadow price for a resource is 0 (the allowable increase is 1000) and 150 units of the resource are added what happens to the optimal solution

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "No change"

Explanation:

The optimal solution is a feasible alternative where the optimal solution reaches its highest (or lowest) values, including most profit and the price is lower. There is no other viable solution with an objective function that is universally ideal. Whenever the resource regression coefficient is 0, the best solution would not be changed.

If a company has a quick ratio of 1.25 times, current assets of $25,000 and inventory of $5,000, the current liabilities balance is equal to sign and comma, as applicable) (round to the nearest dollar and include the dollar

Answers

Answer:

$16,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the current liabilities balance is equal to

Using this formula

Quick Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities

Let plug in the formula

1.25 = ($25,000 - $5000) / Current Liabilities

1.25Current Liabilities = ($25,000 - $5000)

Current Liabilities = $20,000 / 1.25

Current Liabilities =$16,000

Therefore the current liabilities balance is equal to $16,000

a. a product-variety externality, which harms consumers.
b. product-variety externality, which benefits consumers.
c. business-stealing externality, which harms consumers.
d. business-stealing externality, which benefits consumers.

Answers

Answer:

b

Explanation:

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants  

When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero

If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry.  This drives economic profit to zero

in the long run, only normal profit is earned

The product-variety externality: When new firms enter into an industry, competition drives price down. This increases consumer surplus. As a result, entry of firms into an industry results in a positive externality on consumers.  

The business-stealing externality: When a new firm enters into an industry, existing firms lose customers and profits fall. As a result, entry of a new firm results in a negative externality on existing firms.

Answers

Answer:

b

Explanation:

and services.

An example of a monopoly is a utility company

A natural monopoly occurs due to the high start-up costs or a large economies of scale.

Natural monopolies are usually the only company providing a service in a particular region  

Because the demand curve for a monopoly is downward sloping, marginal revenue is less than price. As prices fall, more units of the product are bought.

In a monopoly When the average cost is falling, the marginal cost lies below the average cost. If the government sets price to be equal to marginal cost, which lies below the average cost, the monopoly would incur losses.

The Foster Insurance Company developed standard times for processing claims. When a claim was received at the processing center, it was first reviewed and classified as simple or complex. The standard time for processing was:
simple claim - 36 mins
complex claim - 1.25 hrs
Employees were expected to be productive 7.5 hrs per day. Compensation costs were $135 per day per employee. During July, which had 20 working days, the following number of claims were processed:
simple claims - 3,000 processed
complex claims - 960 processed
REQUIRED
a. Calculate the number of workers that should have been available to process July claims.
b. Assume that 23 workers were actually available throughout the month of july. calculate a labor efficiency variance expressed as both a number of workers and a dollar amount for the month.

Answers

Answer:

Time Needed In Minutes

Simple Claim          36  

Complex Claims 75 (1.25 hour*60 Min)

Productive hours = 7.5 hrs. (In Minutes)

= 7.5 hours*60 min

= 450 minutes

Number of Working days = 20. Total Number of Productive Minutes in Month per person = 20 days * 450 minutes = 9000 minutes

Total Claims          Processed      Time Needed     Total Time

Simple Claim            3000                   36                   108000

Complex Claims       960                     75                    72000

Total                                                                              180000

a. Number of Workers needed = Total Time Needed / Productive time put by single worker = 180,000 / 9000 = 20 workers

b.  Number of Workers 23

    Standard                  20

Variance, Number of Workers = 23 - 20

Variance, Number of Workers = 3

Variance, Dollar Amount = Number of Workers * $135 * 20 days

Variance, Dollar Amount = $8,100

Your goal is to have $10,000 in your bank account by the end of twelve years. If the interest rate remains constant at 9% and you want to make annual identical deposits, what amount will you have to deposit into your account at the end of each year to reach your goal

Answers

Answer:

Annual deposit= $496.51

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future value (FV)= $10,000

Interest rate (i)= 9%

Number of periods (n)= 12 years

To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (10,000*0.09) / [(1.09^12) - 1]

A= $496.51

Firm K is planning on merging with Firm L. Firm K currently has 5,500 shares of stock outstanding at a market price of $28 a share. Firm L has 500 shares outstanding at a price of $16 a share. The merger will create $600 of synergy. Firm K plans to offer a sufficient number of its shares to acquire Firm L at an acquisition cost of $8,200. How many total shares will be outstanding in the merged firm

Answers

Answer:

5,792 shares

Explanation:

Value of share of K = $28

Increase in value of share due to synergy = $600 / 5,500 shares

Increase in value of share due to synergy = $0.11

New share value = $28 + $0.11

New share value = $28.11

Number of shares to be issued = $8,200 / $28.11

Number of shares to be issued = 291.71

New shares of Firm K = 5,500 shares + 291.71 shares

New shares of Firm K =  5791.71 shares

New shares of Firm K =  5,792 shares

If Fees Earned has been credited, it is most likely that:
A. a correcting entry for the overstatement of revenue was recorded. B. a customer paid in advance
C. services were provided.
D. the owner made an investment.​

Answers

Answer:

C. services were provided.

Explanation:

If Fees Earned has been credited, it is most likely that: "services were provided."

For fees to be earned it means something must have been done in exchange for the fee. Considering this is a business-related issue, then it is correct to conclude that "If Fees Earned has been credited, it is most likely that: services were provided."

Option A is not correct because the overstatement of revenue is not related to the fee warmed being credited.

Option B is not correct, because a payment made in advance does not correlate to a fee earned. Option D is not correct as well, because an investment has nothing to do with a few earned.

Define organizational structures? And explain types of organizational structures?

Answers

Answer:

Four main types of structures of the organization are:

Functional  Divisional  Matrix  Flat

Explanation:

Functional Structure

This structure consists of employees performing similar tasks or specialties. For example, in the finance department, accountants are grouped and the same applies to marketing departments, operations, and human resources. This structure enables swift decision-making because the group members have similar skills, can communicate easily, and can also improve their ability by learning from each other.

Divisional Structure

This structure groups employees according to the products or projects that meet customer requirements of a certain type. For instance, a catering services restaurant could organize the employees by departments, e.g. weddings or wholesale retail departments, according to which they serve. Employees are split so that their performance is maximized.

Flat Structure

The traditional top-down management system is impeded by a flat organizational structure. There is no concept of the boss, every employee is the boss, which removes bureaucracy and improves direct contact. For example, an employee with an innovative idea or suggestion need not contact every level of senior management to give the person responsible for the idea. The staff can directly communicate on an individual basis.

Matrix Structure

A matrix structure has a complex story true as it combines elements from both the functional and the divisional models. It first divides employees according to their specialization, then further separates them into departments according to projects and products. To make this structure a lot of planning and efforts are required but one e achieved increases the productivity of the team, promotes innovation and creativity, and good decision making.

Answers

Answer:

Your answer is given below:

Explanation:

When bond is issued on yield to market at price of $10,179, interest is charged on outstanding amount of $10,179  of 9%.

So interest charged on June 30 is 9% for 6 months on $10,179

Interest expense=$10,179*9%*6/12

Interest expense for 6 months =$458

Cash paid for interest is however at stated interest rate of 10% on $10,000 for 6 months=$10,000*10%*6/12

Cash paid=$500

Difference of interest paid and interest expense is debited to bonds payable balance so bonds payable balance outstanding is reduced.

Bonds payable outstanding reduced=$500-$458

=$42

Bonds payable outstanding balance as on june 30=$10,179-$42

=$10,137

Now interest for last 6 months in 2019 is charged on $10,137 at 9%

Interest expense from June 30 to December 31=$10,137*9%*6/12

Interest expense=$456

Total interest expense for 2019=$456+458

=$914

So,total interest expense charged for 2019=$914

Operating Profit                                                    $400

thus

If Edison's Lights were to accept Lamp Land's offer, the increase in Edison's Lights' operating profits would be  $400

Based on the various costs to make the light bulb, Edison's lights would see an increase in operating profits of $800.

How would Edison's Lights see this profit?

The fixed costs would be the same throughout production so should be deducted:
= Average cost - fixed cost

= 0.83 - 0.12

= $0.71

The variable cost of making the bulb is $0.71 which means that the profit made on every bulb if sold at $0.75 would be:

= 0.75 - 0.71

= $0.04

The total profit would be:

= 20,000 bulbs x 0.04

= $800
