2a. What is the shortest loan (36 months, 48 months, 60 months or 72 months) that has a monthly payment within your $500 budget that will allow you to buy the $30,000 car? Answer: Through Bank of America, I found a rate of 2.99% for the 36, 48 and 60 month loans. We are able to put down 20% and will need to finance $24,000. The shortest loan period for the $30,000 car that would be under our $500 limit is the 60 month loan at a rate of $431.13 per month.

Question 24 Europa Corporation is financing an ongoing construction project. The firm will need $5,000,000 of new capital during each of the next 3 years. The firm has a choice of issuing new debt or equity each year as the funds are needed, or issue only debt now and equity later. Its target capital structure is 40% debt and 60% equity, and it wants to be at that structure in 3 years, when the project has been completed.

Western Governor’s University Class: Decision Analysis Task Two April 16, 2011 To: Cynthia Crowninshield, Alistair Wu, and other Shuzworld management From: Operations Consultant, Jessica Rogers Re: Recommendations for specified jobs using QA and decision analysis tools This memo is in reference to developing distribution patterns that meets the availability and demand constraints and minimizes total shipping costs at Shuworld using the appropriate decision analysis tool. I will also outline an analysis of the reliability of the computer-driven shoe machines process in the Shuworld Shainghai plant and recommend way s to increase the reliability of the system utilizing the appropriate decision analysis tool. Furthermore, I will provide the optimum number of shoelaces to order for the Shuworld factory when considering appropriate cost balancing utilizing the appropriate decision analysis tool and finally, the memo will compare and contrast the characteristics of the waiting-line model by determining and recommending the number of cashiers Shuworld should employ. Before the production increase at the Shanghai
One of the items was sold during the year. Required: Based on this information, how much product cost would be allocated to cost of goods sold and ending inventory, assuming use of: a. LIFO b. FIFO c. Weighted average (total cost/total number) | |Cost of goods sold |Ending inventory | |LIFO |700 |800 | |FIFO |800 |700 | |Weighted Average |750 |750 | Problem 2. Teague Company purchased a new machine on January 1, 2012, at a cost of $150,000. The machine is expected to have an eight-year life and a $15,000 salvage value. The machine is expected to produce 675,000 finished products during its eight-year life.
Plan A requires $40,000,000 in start-up capital, has annual fixed costs of $4,000,000 and variable costs of $3,300 per unit to open the new jet boat production facility. The attached sheet shows IBC’s projections for the possible sales estimate scenarios. We see that unless sales of the jet boat totally flop, the company has an ROI of 28.5% in the most likely of scenarios but has an ROI of 56% in the most optimistic scenario. The attached sheet provides the figures used in calculating the Return on Investment (ROI) of the new facility. Plan B’s capital requirements are $45,000,000, annual fixed costs of $4,800,000 and variable costs of $3,000 per unit.
This project will require an additional cost of $575,000 to bring the product to market. The forecasted ROI on the Stargazer project is $300,000 first year; $550,000 the second year; and $750,000 the third year. This product has an expected life of 7 years. Releasing this product will result in the company being seen as a leader in the industry. While there is not a critical path listed for the Stargazer project, I anticipate being able to complete the project within 12 months to ensure that the company is able to generate revenue on the schedule
Storage utilization in the SAN-based environment has increased from 50 to 85 percent, a key factor in supporting company growth. Storage allocation that used to take two to three days can now be done in a few minutes simply by making storage capacity available to an application. Backup windows also have been significantly reduced. For example, one 700 gigabyte database used to take 12 to14 hours to backup to tape libraries over a weekend, with the database down the entire time. Today, backing up that database to disk takes only 30 minutes, a 96% reduction in backup time.
The tort reform will help protect physicians and medical facilities from malpractice law suits. Protection from malpractice suits will only save approximately $54 million in a $2 trillion deficit. There are some good points in the alternative proposals that were presented. In the overall look of the alternative, only a few million Americans will be able to have insurance in a ten year span. With the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, over 30 million American citizens will have health insurance.
