ADVANCED ANALYSIS Linear equations for the consumption and saving schedules take the general form: C = a + bY and S = -a + (1-b)Y where C, S, and Y are consumption, saving, and national income, respectively. The constant a represents the vertical intercept, and b represents the slope of the consumption schedule. a. Use the following data to substitute specific numerical values into the consumption and saving equations. Instructions: If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. C = $ Y. S = $ Y. b. What is the economic meaning of b? . What is the economic meaning of (1 – b)? .
12. Zan Azlett and Angela Zesiger have joined forces to start A&Z Lettuce Products, a processor of packaged shredded lettuce for institutional use. Zan has years of food processing experience, and Angela has extensive commercial food preparation experience. The process will consist of opening crates of lettuce and then sorting, washing, slicing, preserving, and finally packaging the prepared lettuce. Together, with help from vendors, they think they can adequately estimate demand, fixed costs, revenues, and variable cost per bag of lettuce. They think a largely manual process will have monthly fixed costs of $36,000 and variable costs of $1.75 per bag. A more mechanized process will have fixed costs of $72,000 per month with variable costs of $1.25 per bag. They expect to sell the shredded lettuce for $2.75 per bag. Part 2 a) The break-even quantity in units for the manual process = ______ bags (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) The revenue for…
26 - Which of the following is false regarding the methods used in the business valuation process? a) Analytical job valuation methods are scoring and factor comparison. B) There is no exact way to determine the contribution of each job in the enterprise to the efficiency of the enterprise. NS) The least used valuation method is scoring.

Manufacturers Inc. (MI) currently has a labor force of 10, which can produce 600 units per period. The labor cost is now $5000 per period per employee. The company has a long-standing rule that does not allow it to make use of any overtime. In addition, the product cannot be subcontracted, due to the specialized nature of the machinery that MI uses to produce it. As a result, MI can only increase/decrease production by hiring or laying off employees. The cost is $10000 to hire or lay off an employee. Inventory carrying costs are $200 per unit for any unsold items at the end of the period. The inventory level at the beginning of period 1 is 400 units. The forecast demand is 700 in period 1,600 in period 2,450 in period 3, 250 in period 4,500 in period 5, and 550 in period 6. a.) Compute the costs of the Chase Demand Strategy. b.) Compute the costs of the Level Strategy c.) Compare the costs of the two strategies. Which one is superior?

Suppose the newsvendor model describes a firm’s operations decision. Is it possible to havepositive stockout probability and positive expected leftover inventory? Choose the best answer. a. No. If there is leftover inventory, then a stockout doesn’t occur.b. No. If the stockout probability is positive, then expected inventory must be negative.c. No. Actual demand can differ from sales.d. Yes. A firm does not stock out and have leftover inventory at the same time, but the stockout probability can be positive even though there is positive expected leftover inventory.e. Yes, as long as the underage cost is greater than the overage cost.
1. Which of the following statements is incorrect? Facility planning has a short-range component that determines whether more capacity is needed or less. At the aggregate planning level, expected workforce levels and corresponding production output levels are determined based on existing capacity. Scheduling consists of short-term decisions that allocates available capacity by assigning it to specific activities. Scheduling decisions often indicate a need for revised aggregate planning, and aggregate planning may uncover facility needs. Two types of common capacity measures are number of units produced and tons produced. 2. Which of the following statements is incorrect? Two types of common capacity measures are number of customers served over a specified period and physical asset availability. Utilization is the relationship between actual output and input. Utilization = (actual output/capacity) x 100% Utilization is a useful measure for estimating how busy a…
You are in your last semester of college and have been looking for a job. You have registered with the placement office and posted your résumé online, but the jobs that are available leave a bit to be desired. In one of your classes you overhear a classmate, Max, talking about an interview he had last week. Max said that he really wanted the job but didn’t think his interview went particularly well. He is currently waiting to hear back from the employer. As Max was describing the position, you thought it sounded very interesting, but you wondered if it would be right for you to pursue the position since Max had found it first. Question: If you interview for the job, how would you respond if asked how you heard about the opening?

Is the following statement correct? Vertical integration is the process of a company expanding its operations either backward into an industry that produces inputs for the company’s products, such as raw materials or product components. For example, producing car batteries is an input of the automotive industry but can also be integrated vertically. Vertical integration can also be done forward into an industry that uses, distributes, or sells the company's products and it moves to the final delivery of the product to the customer. The parallel shifts from car ownership to the mobility of demands change the automotive industry. Car manufacturers test different business models, such as car sharing, in order to morph into mobility providers which is a typical forward integration strategy. Please choose an answer: True Not correct
Adele Weiss manages the campus flower shop. Flowers must be ordered three days in advance from her supplier in Mexico. Although Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, sales are almost entirely last-minute, impulse purchases. Advance sales are so small that Weiss has no way to estimate the probability of low (25 dozen), medium (60 dozen), or high (130 dozen) demand for red roses on the big day. She buys roses for $15 per dozen and sells them for $40 per dozen. Construct a payoff table. Which decision is indicated by each of the following decision criteria?a. Maximinb. Maximaxc. Laplaced. Minimax regret
