Concept explainers
a)
To develop: Aggregate planning for the 6-month period
Introduction: The aggregate plan is the output of sales and operations planning. The major concern of aggregate planning is the production time and quantity for the intermediate future. Aggregate planning would encompass a time prospect of approximately 3 to 18 months.
b)
To determine: The total cost for the aggregate plan of the 6-month period
Introduction: The aggregate plan is the output of sales and operations planning. The major concern of aggregate planning is the production time and quantity for the intermediate future. Aggregate planning would encompass a time prospect of approximately 3 to 18 months.

- Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.arrow_forwardmoney borrowed for personal reasons; to be repaid within a specific time frame and with added interest money borrowed for the purchase of real estate; to be repaid within a specific time frame and with added interest money borrowed for business reasons; to be repaid within a specific time frame and with added interest money borrowed for the purchase of a vehicle; to be repaid within a specific time frame and with added interest : Business Loan :: Auto Loan :: Mortgage Loan :: Personal Loan 1 4 6. 8. 9.

Since the casting process is highly variable, not all castings produced are good. The cost of producing each casting is $550; the additional cost of finishing a good casting is $125. If a casting is not good, it is recycled at a value of $75; excess good castings are not finished but are recycled at a value of $75. The customer has agreed to accept 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 castings at a price of $1250 each. If fewer than 15 good castings are produced, none will be purchased by the customer. Prob- ability distributions for the number of good castings produced in a batch of varying sizes are given below. How many castings should be scheduled in order to maximize expected profit? #Good Castings 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 79 2 PRODUCT, PROCESS, AND SCHEDULE DESIGN Number of Castings Scheduled 15 16 17 0.05 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.05 0.05 0.00…arrow_forwardThe CEO of Coral Gables Corp. was reviewing the returns of the company's sizeable investment portfolio in the last five years during a period of extreme volatility. He noted the 5 year sequence of investment returns as follows: +30%, -20%, +30%, -20%, +30%. He then calculated the arithmetic average return, but his CFO noted that since he had ignored the compounding effect he was wrong. By how much was he wrong? (Hint: Calculate the annual arithmetic average return over the five years less the average geometric (compounded) return.) (Round intermediate calculation to 2 decimal places, e.g. 52.75.)

- Company XYZ is strictly a service company and does not carry any inventory on its balance sheet. Based on this, which of the ratios below will be of no interest to a financial analyst?

Each structure provides 1,000 square feet offloor space, with 8-feet ceilings. In 1999, you produced 70 similar structures consistingof the same materials and having the same ceiling height, but each provided only 800square feet of floor space. The material cost for each structure was $25,000 in 1999, andthe cost capacity factor is 0.65. The cost index values for 1999 and 2006 are 200 and 289,respectively. The estimated manufacturing cost for the first 1,000-square-foot structureis $12,000. Assume a learning curve of 88% and use the cost of the 50th structure asyour standard time for estimating manufacturing cost. Estimate the total material costand the total manufacturing cost for the 100 prefabricated structures.arrow_forwardAurillo Equipment Company (AEC) projected that its ROE for next year would be just 6 percent.However, the financial staff has determined that the firm can increase its ROE by refinancing somehigh interest bonds currently outstanding. The firm’s total debt will remain at $200,000 and the debtratio will hold constant at 80 percent, but the interest rate on the refinanced debt will be 10 percent.The rate on the old debt is 14 percent. Refinancing will not affect sales, which are projected to be$300,000. EBIT will be 11 percent of sales and the firm’s tax rate is 40 percent. If AEC refinances itshigh interest bonds, what will be its projected new ROE?arrow_forward
