If during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.
There are many tax rules and regulations you should be aware of when investing-whether it be in stocks; bonds; mutual funds; real estate; or collectibles such as artwork, antiques, gems, memorabilia, stamps, and coins. Capital gains are proceeds derived from these types of investments. Unless they are specified as being tax-free, such as municipal bonds, you must pay capital gains taxes on these proceeds. Capital gains are taxed in one of two ways. If the investment is held for one year or less, this is considered short-term and is taxed as ordinary income at your regular income tax rate. As this is written, if the investment is held for more than one year, it is considered long-term and qualifies for various tax discounts, as follows for single taxpayers with earnings as shown below. Stocks Held Capital Gains Rates Up to $38,700 $38,700–$426,700 Over $426,700 Over 1 year(long-term) 0% 15% 20% (a) If you are in the 26% tax bracket for ordinary income and have a 15%…
Digitalis is a technology company that makes high-end computer processors. Their newest processor, the luteA, is going to be sold directly to the public. The processor is to be sold for $4500, making Digitalis a profit of $383. Unfortunately there was a manufacturing flaw, and some of these luteA processors are defective and cannot be repaired. On these defective processors, Digitalis is going to give the customer a full refund. Suppose that for each luteA there is an 11% chance that it is defective and an 89% chance that it is not defective. If Digitalis knows it will sell many of these processors, should it expect to make or lose money from selling them? How much? To answer, take into account the profit earned on each processor and the expected value of the amount refunded due to the processor being defective

Ms. Curtis is so obsessed with her new kitten Pickle that she has decided she wants another kitten just like her, named Dill. (Pickle needs a friend after all.)

The college graduates of 2000 could hardly have asked for better luck. The unemployment rate dropped to 4.1 % in May 2000- roughly, the lowest level in a generation- and employers were literally scrambling for new hires. Starting salaries rose, many graduating seniors had numerous job offers, and some firms even offered $10,000- $20,000 bonuses to students who signed the dotted line. Three years later, the job market for the Class of 2003 was rather different. U.S. economic growth had slowed to a crawl, and then to a halt. Companies that had stocked up on recent college grads in the tighter labour markets of 1998-2000 found themselves with more than they knew what to do with in 2002 and 2003. They were not eager to hire more. Bonuses and other “perks” disappeared; job offers became scarcer. With the unemployment rate around 6% in May and June of 2003, the job market was far from the worst ever. But it was nothing like the glory days of 2000. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO: (iv) Briefly…
The River is a literary magazine published by the English Department at Tech. It has a 70-year history and enjoys an excellent reputation for providing a literary outlet for aspiring Appalachian writers in particular. However, its sales, mostly through independent bookstores and college libraries, have never been very large. Several years ago, the magazine’s advisory board decided to create a Web site and post the bi-monthly issues online for free access. Due to poor economic conditions and state budget cuts, Tech recently withdrew funding for the magazine, and in order to make up for this financial loss, the magazine’s staff has decided to try to sell advertising (especially to local and regional businesses) on the magazine’s Web site. In order to sell advertising, the magazine’s staff would like to be able to provide potential advertisers with a forecast of the number of “visits” the Web site might receive in future months. Following is the number of monthly visits the Web site has…
You are a management consultant for a 30 year old partner in a large firm. In a meeting your client says, "According to an article in the New York Times, 57% of large law firms have a mandatory retirement age for a partners in the firm before they retire partners are paid directly for their work that they do and as owners, they are entitled to a share of their profits of the firm. Once they retire, partners do not receive either form of compensation. In light of this, I think we should eliminate mandatory retirement in order to gain a competitive advantage in attracting high quality lawyers to work for our firm. Of course you are the expert what do you recommend? Explain.
