Explanation:
The Yum and Yee food truck near the business school serves customers during lunch hour by taking orders and making fresh batches of stir-fry. Customers have only one choice during the lunch hour so that Y&Y can maximize the number of customers served. Assume that each customer places just one lunch order, and all lunch orders are the same size: one unit of stir-fry. The stir-fry cooking works in this manner. First, one person cooks a batch of orders in a wok. The cooking depends upon the number of orders in the batch. The time to cook just one order is 3 minutes. For each additional order in the batch, it takes 0.5 minute more to cook. Thus, cooking two orders in a batch takes 3.5 minutes, cooking three orders takes 4 minutes, and so on. The other process is bagging and accepting payments (done by a separate person), which takes 0.80 minute per order.
a.What is the setup time of this process?
b.If Y&Y operates with batch sizes of 6 units, what is their process capacity (in orders per minute)?
c.If Yum and Yee operates with batch sizes of 10 units, what is the utilization of the wok?
d.Calculate the batch size (in orders) that maximizes the overall flow rate (assume there is ample demand)?
Answer:
Setup time = 2.5 min. per order
Process capacity = 1.09 units/minute
Utilization = 7.5 minutes
Explanation:
The time to cook just one order = 3 minutes
Cooking two orders in a batch = 3.5 minutes
cooking three orders = 4 minutes
bagging and accepting payments = 0.80 minutes
a) Setup time:
Setup time = 3 - 0.5
= 2.5 min. per order
b) Process capacity:
Production = Setup time + ( Processing time * Batch size )
= 2.5 + (0.5 * 6)
= 5.5 minutes
Process capacity = Batch size / Production
= 6 / 5.5
= 1.09 units/minute
c) Utilization:
Batch size = 10
Production = Setup time + (Processing time * Batch size)
= 2.5 + (0.5 * 10)
= 7.5 minutes
The base time for setting up the cooking process is 3 minutes. If Y&Y operates with 6 units, the capacity is approximately 1.09 orders per minute, and if they run 10 units, the utilization of the wok is 12.5%. To maximize the flow rate, smaller batch sizes or even single orders should be the strategy due to the incremental nature of cooking time.
Explanation:a. The setup time for preparing a batch of stir-fry is 3 minutes. This is the base time without counting any additional orders in the batch. b. If Y&Y operates with batch sizes of 6 units, the total time required to prepare a batch is 3 (for the first unit) + 0.5*(6-1) = 5.5 minutes. The capacity is 6 units / 5.5 minutes = 1.09 orders per minute.
c. If Yum and Yee operates with batch sizes of 10 units, the total time required to cook is 3 (for the first unit) + 0.5*(10-1) = 7.5 minutes. To calculate the utilization, we also need the available time. If the wok may be operated continuously, then the utilization is 7.5/60 = 12.5%.
d. The batch size that maximizes the flow rate can be found by dividing the time available for cooking (in minutes) by the cooking time per order (in minutes/order). Since the cooking time per order could vary depending on the batch size, this calculation could be complex. However, by given information, we know cooking time 'increases' with batch size, implying smaller batch sizes or even single orders should optimize the flows.

Boston Cycles started October with 12 bicycles that cost $42 each. On October 16, Boston bought 40 bicycles at $68 each. On October 31, when the average cost per unit was $62.00, Boston sold 34 bicycles for $100 each. Boston's cost of goods sold under the FIFO, LIFO and weighted-average methods is summarized as follows: FIFO LIFO Weighted-average bicy Cost of Goods Sold $2,000 $ 2,312 $ 2,108 Which inventory costing method produced the lowest cost of goods sold?
Answer:
FIFO method of inventory valuation produced the lowest of goods sold at $2000
Explanation:
The implication of FIFO producing the lowest costs of good sold is that profit under FIFO method will be much higher since a lower costs of good sold is deducted from sales revenue to arrive at gross profit for the period
In addition, higher gross profit is also a pointer to higher net income and higher tax expense overall.
In order to manage tax exposure effectively,the LIFO method of valuation would be the best option as it has the highest costs of good sold,hence lower profit figure and lower tax liability

Managers are probably best qualified to predict when A. currency exchange rates are most favorable. B. a firm they wish to acquire is most undervalued. C. market interest rates are at their lowest point. D. interest rates are peaking. E. their company's stock is overvalued
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "E": their company's stock is overvalued.
Explanation:
When a company's stock is overvalued market analysts and investors may notice it sooner or later. Then, managers can expect the stock price to fall at a certain point. In the meantime, executives can identify the weaknesses and threats of the company after the stock price drops so when it happens the firm will have a contingency plan structured.
Thus, a stock overvaluation represents an opportunity for the company to get prepared for future downturns in its stock price.

On July 1, 2016, Farm Fresh Industries purchased a specialized delivery truck for $126,000. At the time, Farm Fresh estimated the truck to have a useful life of eight years and a residual value of $30,000. On March 1, 2021, the truck was sold for $58,000. Farm Fresh uses the straight-line depreciation method for all of its plant and equipment. Partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months the asset is in service. Required:1. Prepare the journal entry to update depreciation in 2021.2. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the truck.3. Assuming that the truck was instead sold for $80,000, prepare the journal entry to record the sale.
Answer:
Part 1. Prepare the journal entry to update depreciation in 2021.
Depreciation Expense $ 2,000 (debit)
Accumulated Depreciation $ 2,000 (credit)
Part 2. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the truck.
Cash $58,000 (debit)
Accumulated Depreciation $ 56,000 (debit)
Loss on Sale of Delivery Truck $12,000 (debit)
Delivery Truck $ 126,000 (credit)
Part 3. Assuming that the truck was instead sold for $80,000
Cash $80,000 (debit)
Accumulated Depreciation $ 56,000 (debit)
Profit on Sale of Delivery Truck $10,000 (credit)
Delivery Truck $ 126,000 (credit)
Explanation:
Part 1. Prepare the journal entry to update depreciation in 2021.
Depreciation Expense 2021 = ( 126000-30000)/8×2/12
= 2000
Part 2. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the truck.
Accumulated Depreciation
2016= (126000-30000)/8×1/2 =6000
2017 to 2020 = (126000-30000)/8×4=48000
2021= ( 126000-30000)/8×2/12 = 2000
Total Depreciation = 56000
Loss on Sale = Selling Price less Carrying Amount
= $58,000-($126,000-$56,000)
= - $12,000
Part 3. Assuming that the truck was instead sold for $80,000
Profit on Sale = Selling Price less Carrying Amount
= $80,000-($126,000-$56,000)
= $10,000
Note; Carrying Amount of an Asset = Cost less Accumulated Depreciation
The calculated annual depreciation of the truck is $12,000. The journal entries have been illustrated based on the scenarios of actual sale price being $58,000 and alternative price $80,000, resulting in a loss and a gain respectively.
Explanation:The first step is to determine the amount of annual depreciation using the straight-line method. The truck was purchased for $126,000 and estimated to have a residual value of $30,000 after 8 years. So, the total depreciation over the lifespan of the truck is $126,000 - $30,000 = $96,000. This depreciation is spread over 8 years, resulting in $12,000 annual depreciation.
To update the depreciation for 2021, since the truck was sold on March 1, two out of twelve months of depreciation need be recorded. Therefore, the journal entry would be: Debit Depreciation Expense $2,000 (=$12,000/12*2) and Credit Accumulated Depreciation $2,000.To record the sale of the truck, you need to account for the book value at the time of the sale. This would be the original cost minus the accumulated depreciation, which is $126,000 - ($12,000*4.17 [$12,000 is the annual depreciation and 4.17 is the number of years from July 1, 2016, to March 1, 2021]) = $76,040. Since the truck was sold for $58,000, this means Farm Fresh incurred a loss of $18,040 ($76,040 - $58,000). The journal entry would be: Debit Cash $58,000, Debit Accumulated Depreciation $50,040, Debit Loss on Sale of Plant Asset $18,040, and Credit Truck (asset) $126,000.Assuming that the truck was instead sold for $80,000, Farm Fresh would now have gained $3,960 ($76,040 - $80,000). The journal entry would be: Debit Cash $80,000, Debit Accumulated Depreciation $50,040, Credit Truck (asset) $126,000, and Credit Gain on Sale of Plant Asset $3,960.Learn more about Depreciation and Asset Sale here:https://brainly.com/question/32766641

A significant improvement in auto technology will: A. Shift the supply of cars out and to right, decreasing the equilibrium price of cars, but increasing the equilibrium quantity. B. Shift the demand for cars in and to the left, lowering the equilibrium price and quantity of cars. C. Shift the supply of cars in and to the left, increasing the equilibrium price of cars, but lowering the equilibrium quantity. D. Shift the supply of cars in and to the left, raising the equilibrium price and quantity of cars. E. Shift the demand for cars in and to the left, raising the equilibrium price of cars, but lowering the equilibrium price.
Answer:
A. Shift the supply of cars out and to right, decreasing the equilibrium price of cars, but increasing the equilibrium quantity.
Explanation:
The effect of technology on supply is that it will shift supply to the right. As cost of production reduces, producers can have more output at the same cost.
There will be excess supply (surplus), so customers will pay less for the product.
The equilibrium quantity will also increase as more cars are available in the market.
This is illustrated in the attached diagram. Equillibrum price reduces from P1 to P2. The equillibrum quantity increases from Q1 to Q2.
Government can influence cost of production through taxes, regulations and subsidies. Therefore they also influence shift of supply curve.
A significant advancement in auto technology will shift the supply curve for cars outward and to the right, which will decrease the equilibrium price but increase the equilibrium quantity of cars, aligning with option A.
Explanation:An improvement in auto technology, such as more fuel-efficient cars, will lead to a change in the market for cars. This improvement is typically viewed as a positive change in production technology, which makes it cheaper to produce cars or allows more cars to be produced with the same resources. Consequently, the supply curve for cars shifts outward and to the right, indicating that manufacturers are willing and able to supply more cars at each price level. This shift will lead to a decrease in the equilibrium price of cars, as the increased supply puts downward pressure on prices. However, the equilibrium quantity of cars will increase because more cars are available at lower prices, which can boost sales. This scenario matches option A: A significant improvement in auto technology will: Shift the supply of cars out and to right, decreasing the equilibrium price of cars, but increasing the equilibrium quantity.

Forecasting is an important part of any firm's financial plan. Financial managers create forecasts by preparing budgets, and these budgets are then analyzed in order to determine if/when a firm will need to secure internal and external financing.
True or False?
Answer:
The statement is: True.
Explanation:
Forecasting refers to the estimation of the expenditures a firm makes at the beginning of a period to have an idea of what and when the firm should invest in. Budgets are the main tool for forecasting. In most cases, budgets are requested in each department of the institution so the estimate will be the closest possible according to each unit's projected operations.
Financial managers do not only forecast the business's expenditures in the short and long run but develop the budget aiming to meet the firm's financial needs and monitor the company's expenses based on the forecast.
In 2016, Chaya Corporation, an accrual basis, calendar year taxpayer, provided services to clients andearned $25,000. The clients signed notes receivable to Chaya that have a fair market value of$22,000 at year-end. In addition, Chaya sold a 36-month service contract on June 1, 2016, and received payment in full of $12,000.
How much income does Chaya report from these transactions in 2016?
Answer:
$27,333.33
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of income reported is shown below:
= Provided services to the customer + Payment received × number of months ÷ given number of months
= $25,000 + $12,000 × 7 months ÷ 36 months
= $25,000 + $2,333.33
= $27,333.33
The seven months is calculated from the June 1 to December 31. We assume the books are closed on December 31
Chaya Corporation reports a total income of $27,333.33 for 2016, which includes $25,000 from services provided and $2,333.33 from the service contract sold on June 1, 2016.
For Chaya Corporation, which is an accrual basis, calendar year taxpayer, the income reported for 2016 from the transactions mentioned can be determined as follows:
1. Services Provided: Chaya earned $25,000 from providing services. Under the accrual basis of accounting, income is recognized when services are performed, regardless of when cash is received. Thus, Chaya reports the full amount of $25,000 as income.
2. Fair Market Value of Notes Receivable: Chaya received notes receivable with a fair market value of $22,000 for the services. However, for accrual accounting, the income is recorded based on the amount earned, not the lower fair market value of the note receivable. Therefore, the $22,000 is not considered.
3. Service Contract: Chaya sold a 36-month service contract on June 1, 2016, and received $12,000. For accrual purposes, income must be allocated over the period the service is provided. For 2016, Chaya should report ($12,000 / 36 months) * 7 months = $2,333.33 as income earned from the service contract in 2016.
$25,000 from services provided$2,333.33 from the service contractTotal income reported for 2016: $25,000 + $2,333.33 = $27,333.33
A firm agreed to pay its workers $2525 an hour in 2016 and $4141 an hour in 2017. The price level for these years was 241 in 2016 and 245 in 2017. Calculate the real wage rate in each year (to the nearest cent). What is the real wage increase received by these workers in 2017?
Answer:
(a) 10.4%; 16.73%
(b) 6.33%
Explanation:
Given that,
Wages paid to the workers in 2016 = $25 per hour
Price level in 2016 = 241
Wages paid to the workers in 2017 = $41 per hour
Price level in 2017 = 245
Real wage rate in 2016:
= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100
= ($25 ÷ 241) × 100
= 0.104 × 100
= 10.4%
Real wage rate in 2017:
= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100
= ($41 ÷ 245) × 100
= 0.1673 × 100
= 16.73%
Therefore, the real wage increase received by these workers in 2017 is calculated as follows:
= Real wage rate in 2017 - Real wage rate in 2016
= 16.73% - 10.4%
= 6.33%
Hence, these workers do get a raise between the two years.
In 1958, a first-class postage stamp for a 1-ounce envelope was $0.04. In 2012, a first-class postage stamp for the same envelope is $0.45. What was the annual compound increase in the cost of the first-class postage during the 54 year period
Answer:
The annual increase was approximately $0.002
Explanation:
In order to know the annual compound increase in the cost of the first-class postage during the 54 year period, we need to know the rate at which the compound interest was calculated. We can know that using the following compound interest formula:
[tex]A = P(1 + \frac{r}{100})^{t}[/tex]
P = principal amount (the initial amount for the envelope)
r = annual rate of increase
t = number of years the amount is increased.
A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including the increase.
Now, we have our Amount at the 54th year to be 0.45dollars, when the principal is 0.04dollars.
Therefore, we have
A = $0.45
P = $0.04
r = unknown (that's what we are looking for)
t = 54
Substituting these into the formula, we have:
[tex]0.45 = 0.04(1 + \frac{r}{100})^{54}[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 0.04 we have:
[tex]11.25 = (1 + \frac{r}{100})^{54}[/tex]
Taking the 54th root of both sides we have(approximately):
[tex]1.05 = (1 + \frac{r}{100})[/tex]
The above gives:
[tex]0.05 = \frac{r}{100}[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]r = 5%[/tex]
Therefore, the money increased annually at the rate of 5% approximately, and that would be
[tex]\frac{5}{100} \times 0.04[/tex]
Which is $0.002 approximately.
Final answer:
The annual compound increase in the cost of a first-class postage stamp from 1958 to 2012 over 54 years is approximately 5.46%.
Explanation:
To calculate the annual compound increase in the cost of a first-class postage stamp from $0.04 in 1958 to $0.45 in 2012 over a period of 54 years, we use the formula for compound interest:
Final amount = Initial amount * (1 + rate)^number of years
Here, the final amount is $0.45, the initial amount is $0.04, and the number of years is 54. Plugging these values into our equation gives us:
$0.45 = $0.04 * (1 + rate)^54
To find the rate, we rearrange the formula to solve for the rate:
rate = ((Final amount / Initial amount)^(1/number of years)) - 1
rate = (($0.45 / $0.04)^(1/54)) - 1
Calculating this gives us an annual compound increase rate of approximately 5.46%.
Understanding the annual compound increase is crucial for comprehending economic inflation rates and the changing costs of goods and services over time.
"Farley Frozen Yogurt is a perfectly competitive firm. The market price of a frozen yogurt cake is $7. Farley sells 200 frozen yogurt cakes. Its AVC is $6, and its AFC is $4."
Suppose the marginal cost for frozen yoghurt cake is $7. In this case, Farley frozen youghurt should:
(A) produce less.
(B) produce the same quantity
(C) produce more.
(D) non produce
Answer:
B. Produce the same quantity
Explanation:
Perfect Competition is market form with many buyers & sellers, where identical goods are sold at uniform prices .
In this market : Marginal Revenue (MR) = Average Revenue (AR) = Price (P) , as a horizontal curve parallel to X axis.
Producer is at profit maximising equilibrium where : MR = MC (Marginal Cost). Producer tends to stay at this production point.
So, by above 2 equations : MC = [ MR = P ] is the equilibrium for Farley Frozen Yogurt .
As given : Price = $7 & MC = $7 satisfies above equilibrium equality condition. Hence , this is Farley Frozen Yogurt's Producer Equilibrium & it would tend to produce the same quantity.
Final answer:
Farley Frozen Yogurt should continue to produce the same quantity of frozen yogurt cakes as the market price equals the marginal cost, and therefore the firm operates at the point where Price = MR = MC, contributing towards fixed costs despite incurring losses.
Explanation:
In a perfectly competitive market, the firm's decision regarding the quantity to produce is based on the equality of price, marginal revenue (MR), and marginal cost (MC). Given that Farley Frozen Yogurt sells its product at a market price of $7, which equals its marginal cost, the firm is currently operating at the point where Price = MR = MC and therefore should produce the same quantity of frozen yogurt cakes. Producing more would increase the average total cost (ATC), which is $10 (AVC + AFC), while producing less would not maximize profits. As long as the price covers the average variable cost (AVC) and contributes to fixed costs, the firm should continue to produce the same amount.
By following the pricing rule where Price = MR = MC, we must also consider the firm's profitability. If price equals MC but is less than ATC, the firm is incurring losses. In this scenario with Farley Frozen Yogurt, because the sale price ($7) is lower than the ATC ($10), each unit sold contributes to a loss. However, since the price is higher than AVC ($6), the firm is covering its variable costs and contributing $1 towards its fixed costs with each unit sold. Therefore, the best option for Farley Frozen Yogurt is to maintain production, hoping that market conditions will improve, or until fixed costs change the calculation.
This analysis is consistent with the example given where the price of frozen raspberries falls to the break even point, at which the firm's price received is exactly equal to its average cost of production. In such a scenario, the firm would also continue to produce the quantity where Price = MR = MC, to meet the condition for maximizing profits or in the worst case, minimizing losses.

Mustard Corporation (a C corporation) owns 15% of the stock of Burgundy Corporation (a C corporation), which pays an annual dividend to its shareholders. Mustard is considering the purchase of additional shares of Burgundy stock. Would this stock purchase affect the amount of dividends received deduction that Mustard can claim
Answer:
Yes, it will affect it.
Explanation:
The dividends received deduction (DRD) refers to a US federal tax law that allows some corporation that are paid dividend by related entities to deduct certain percentage of the dividend received from their income tax depending on their percentage of ownership of the related entity that paid the dividend.
The three criteria or tiers that determines how much to deduct as DRD are as follows:
1. Generally, the DRD a corporation is qualified for is 70% of the dividend received.
2. A DRD equals to 80% of the dividend received can be deducted if the corporation holds more than 20% but less than 80% shareholding of the company that paid the dividend.
3. If the corporation holds more than 80% shareholding of the company that paid the dividend, a DRD of 100% of the dividend applies.
Therefore, additional stock purchase will affect the amount of dividends received deduction that Mustard can claim.
Final answer:
Purchasing additional shares of Burgundy Corporation could affect Mustard Corporation's dividends received deduction (DRD). The impact depends on whether the additional shares purchased increase Mustard's ownership stake to reach certain thresholds, which would allow a higher percentage of the dividends to be deducted from taxable income.
Explanation:
The purchase of additional shares of Burgundy Corporation stock by Mustard Corporation would affect the dividends received deduction (DRD) that Mustard can claim for tax purposes. The DRD allows a corporation that receives a dividend from another corporation in which it has an ownership stake to deduct a portion of that dividend from its taxable income. Notably, the amount of deduction depends on the percentage of ownership. Owning more shares typically entitles the shareholder to a larger deduction. Under U.S. tax law, corporations that own less than 20% of another corporation can deduct 50% of dividends received, those owning between 20% to 80% can deduct 65%, and those owning more than 80% can deduct 100%. If Mustard Corporation purchases additional shares and its ownership stake in Burgundy Corporation increases to meet one of these thresholds, the DRD percentage that Mustard Corporation can claim may increase, leading to a potentially more favorable tax treatment of the received dividends.
A stock will provide a rate of return of either −18% or 26%. If both possibilities are equally likely, calculate the stock's expected return and standard deviation. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a whole percent.)
Answer:
The expected return is 4% and the standard deviation is 22%.
Explanation:
Since both outcomes are equally likely, the expected value is the mean of both possible outcomes:
[tex]E(X) = \frac{-0.18+0.26}{2}=0.04 = 4\%[/tex]
The standard deviation for this stock is:
[tex]S = \sqrt{0.5*(-0.18-E(X))^2+0.5*(0.26-E(X))^2}\\S = \sqrt{0.5*(-0.18-0.04))^2+0.5*(0.26-0.04)^2}\\S= 0.22 =22\%[/tex]
The expected return is 4% and the standard deviation is 22%.
Based on the information given the stock's expected return is 4% and standard deviation is 22%.
a. Stock's expected return
Stock's expected return=0.5(-18%) + 0.5(26%)
Stock's expected return =-9%+13%
Stock's expected return =4%
b. Standard deviation
First step is to calculate the variance
Variance =[0.5(-18%-4%)²] + [0.5(26%-4%)²]
Variance=[0.5(-22)²]+[0.5(22%)²]
Variance=242%+242%
Variance= 484%
Second step is to calculate the standard deviation
Standard Deviation =√484%
Standard Deviation = 22%
Inconclusion the stock's expected return is 4% and standard deviation is 22%.

Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Prize money $
Answer:
Explanation:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.
1,570,000=230*(1+r/100)^122
(1,570,000/230)^(1/122)=(1+r/100)
(1+r/100)=1.0750
r=1.0750-1 =7.50% annual % increase
Prize money = A =1,570,000*(1.0750)^28

A company had 158 million shares outstanding at the beginning of the year 2012. On February 2, 2012, the company issued an additional 30 million shares to the market at a price of $50, while the market price per share was $50. The resulting price per share after new issuance will be____________.
The resulting price per share after new issuance will be $50
Solution:
Values:
Company shares = 158 million shares
Additional shares = 30 million shares
Market price = $50 per share
Evaluating:
Total value of equity prior to issue = Company shares * Market price
= 158 million * 50
= $7.9 billion
Value of share issue = Additional shares * Market price
= 30 million * 50
= $1.5 billion
Total value of equity after share issue = Total value of equity prior to issue + Value of share issue
= 7.9 billion + 1.5 billion
= $9.4 billion
Shares outstanding after share issue = Company shares + Additional shares
= 158 million + 30 million
= 188 million
Price per share after issue = [tex]\frac{Total value of equity after share issue}{Shares outstanding after share issue}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{9.4 billion}{188 million}[/tex]
= $50
