General Accounting Reasoning Problem: Desert Sun Solar panels have a base output of 300 watts, but their efficiency is affected by temperature and dust. The temperature causes a loss of 0.5% per degree Celsius above 25°C, and dust reduces efficiency by 3% per week since the last cleaning. Calculate the output of the solar panel after 3 weeks at 35°C, considering both the temperature and dust reduction effects.

Den-Tex Company is evaluating a proposal to replace its HID (high intensity discharge) lighting with LED (light emitting diode) lighting throughout its warehouse. LED lighting consumes less power and lasts longer than HID lighting for similar performance. The following information was developed: a. Determine the investment cost for replacing the 700 fixtures. b. Determine the annual utility cost savings from employing the new energy solution. c. Should the proposal be accepted? Evaluate the proposal using net present value, assuming a 15-year life and 8% minimum rate of return. (Present value factors are available in Appendix A.)

Because of the pandemic impact and reduced number of customers, the Ocean View Restaurant has been experiencing decline in dinner sales, and the owners think that keeping it open for one additional hour each night will help the situation. If the restaurants stays open for one more hour, the additional labor costs will be $174 and additional costs for heat and light will be $38. The restaurant's variable rate is .36. What level of dollar sales volume will be required to break even for this additional hour? Select one: a. cannot be determined from the given data b. $212 c. $588.89 d. $331.25 2. Given the following information, determine the difference between book and actual inventory as a percentage of issues: Opening inventory for the day was $200, and daily issues were $500. The purchases totaled $600, and the actual inventory was $250. Show the calculation.
Suppose a quality manager is to make a decision between two manufacturing processes for the manufacture of a certain component. Process A costs 150 dollars per unit to manufacture a component. Process B costs 160 dollars per unit to manufacture a component. Components have an exponential time to failure distribution with mean time to failure of 300 hours for process A, while components from process B have a mean time to failure of 350 hours. Because of a warranty clause, if a component lasts less than 400 hours, the manufacturer must pay a penalty of 75 dollars. Based on the expected cost, would the quality manager select Process A? Explain why or why not? Show your work.
The cost to operate a clothes dryer for a year is $80.25. If the rate for electrical energy is 8.8¢/kWh, and the clothes dryer is used for 700 hours in a year, what is the power rating of the clothes dryer? Explain in depth and clearly.
Assume that the operations manager of a small semi-conductor manufacturer wants to run a Simulation model to better understand the uncertainties related to cost and demand for a particular product. He assumes that the total cost per month could be anywhere between $150,000 and $200,000 with equal likelihood. He also assumes that the demand is normally distributed with a mean of 5,000 items per month and a standard deviation of 1,000. Each item is sold for $95. a) Use the random numbers in the following table to simulate the costs, revenues and profits per month. Use Random Number A to generate the costs and Random Number B to generate the revenues per month and then calculate the profit as the difference between revenues and costs. Complete the table by reporting the minimum, maximum and average profit per month according to this simulation.

Ytze Inc. manufactures bath cubicles. The following activity information is available for its cubicles: Management is looking to remove $7.00 of activity cost from the product in order to make the price more competitive. Assume the process improvement is put in place such assembly as well as setup required one-fourth less time to complete per unit. Based on the data, identify the correct statement. a. These process improvements reduced the activity cost of each battery from $49.00 to $43.00, or $6, thus not exceeding the $7.00 target. b. These process improvements reduced the activity cost of each battery from $49.00 to $44.00, or $5, thus not exceeding the $7.00 target. c. These process improvements reduced the activity cost of each battery from $49.00 to $42.00, or $7, thus exceeding the $7.00 target. d. These process improvements reduced the activity cost of each battery from $49.00 to $41.00, or $8, thus exceeding the $7.00 target.
