Ashley has earmarked at most $550,000 for investment in three mutual funds: a money market fund, an international equity fund, and a growth-and-income fund. The money market fund has a rate of return of 6%/year, the international equity fund has a rate of return of 10%/year, and the growth-and-income fund has a rate of return of 15%/year.

- The Unilever Company plans to allocate some or all of its monthly advertising budget of GH¢82,000 in the Mankato area. It can purchase local radio spots at GH¢120 per spot, local TV spots at GH¢600 per spot, and local newspaper advertising at GH¢220 per insertion.The company's policy requirements specify that the company must spend at least GH¢40,000 on TV and allow monthly newspaper expenditures up to GH¢60,000.The payoff from each advertising medium is a function of the size of its audience. The general experience of the firm is that the values of insertions and spots in terms of "audience points" (arbitrary unit), are as given below: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Radio 40 audience points per spot TV 180 audience points per spot Newspapers 320 audience points per insertion ---------------------------------------------------------------------arrow_forwardFowle Marketing Research, Inc., bases charges to a client on the assumption that telephone surveys can be completed within an average time of 14 minutes or less.

On average, 40 major repairs are performed each year at 24 lost production hours per repair. Keeping the crew costs $1,000,000 per year plus any lost production cost. Lost production costs are estimated at $2,500 per hour. Your company is considering replacing its in-housemaintenance work with an outside company (Ajax) working under an annual maintenance contract. This proposal will pay Ajax $2,000,000 per year but your company will still have to pay for all lost production time.Ajax claims that the time per repair will decrease because of the contractors’ substantial maintenance experience. Assuming the number of major repairs and the cost of lost production time remain the same, how much time per repair is the maximum allowable for Ajax to be the preferred alternative?arrow_forward
- Consider a corrupt provincial government in which each housing inspector examines two newly built structures each week. All the builders in the province are unethical and want to increase their profits by using substandard construction materials, but they can’t do that unless they can bribe a housing inspector into approving a substandard building. a. If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes? (Assume that each inspector works 52 weeks a year and gets bribed for every house he inspects.) b. There is a provincial construction supervisor who gets to hire all of the housing inspectors. He himself is corrupt and expects his housing inspectors to share their bribes with him. Suppose that 20 inspectors work for him and that each passes along half the bribes collected from builders. How much will the construction supervisor collect each year? c.

The intent is to provide easy access for their clients by having the office open 360 days per year, 16 hours each day from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The office would be staffed by a lawyer, paralegal, legal secretary, and clerk-receptionist for each of the two 8-hour shifts. In order to determine the feasibility of the project, John hired a marketing consultant to assist with market projections. The results of this study show that if the firm spends $500,000 on advertising the first year, the number of new clients expected each day would have the following probability distribution: Number of New Clients per Day Probability 20 0.10 30 0.30 55 0.40 85 0.20 John and his associates believe these numbers are reasonable and are prepared to spend the $500,000 on advertising.

As she starts out in a new career, she also wants to begin a new life—one built on a solid financial base. June will be starting out as a full-time nurse at a salary of $52,000 a year, and she plans to continue working at a second (part-time) nursing job with an annual income of $10,500. She’ll be paying back $24,000 in bankruptcy debts and wants to be able to move into an apartment within a year and then buy a condo or house in five years. June won’t have to pay rent for the time that she lives with her parents. She also will have child care at no cost, which will continue after she and her daughter are able to move out on their own.
