Answer:
12.57
Explanation:
The first part is correct with the answer of 12.57. The formula is x_bar_bar + 3*sigma/sqrt(n)
Here x_bar_bar = 12.51, sigma = 0.04, n = 4.
Thus UCL = 12.51 + 3*0.04/sqrt(4) = 12.57

Answer:
The after-tax cost of debt : 3.90%.
Explanation:
The semi-annual coupon = 1,000 x 5% /2 = $25.
The before-tax cost of debt, denoted as i, is the yield to maturity of the company's debt, which is calculated as below:
(25/i) x [1 - (1+i)^-40] + 1,000/(1+i)^40 = 854 <=> i = 3.147%.
=> Because the debt is semi-annual compounded, we have the: Effective annual rate = Before-tax cost of debt = ( 1+ 3.147%)^2 -1 = 6.39%.
=> After tax cost of debt = Before tax cost of debt x ( 1 - tax rate) = 6.39% x ( 1 - 0.39) = 3.90%.
So, the answer is 3.90%.
Answer:
E) rack jobbers.
Explanation:
Rack jobbers is defined as a company or trader that has an agreement with a seller to display their products in the retail stores and sell them. Usually channels used are not the traditional channels used to sell the products and can include: gas stations, grocery stores.
In such instances the profit realised is split between both parties. For example if Procter and Gamble provide a product rack to a grocery store this is called rack jobbers.
This will be Reynold's best option as he does not want to take care of setting up displays and maintaining inventory records.
Answer:
Minimum transfer price = $1.17
Explanation:
The Can Division is operating at full capacity, hence it has no excess capacity .
This implies that it can not produce enough to meet both the internal and external buyers.
Since Division X can not accommodate the demands of the Packaging Division at a price lower than the external price, because it will result to a loss in contribution.
To maximize and optimize the group profit
Minimum transfer price = External selling price - savings in internal transfer cost
= $1.20 - 0.03 = $1.17
Minimum transfer price = $1.17
