Target Costing

Instant Image Inc. manufactures color laser printers. Model J20 presently sells for $460 and has a product cost of $230, as follows:

Direct materials $175
Direct labor 40
Factory overhead 15
Total $230
It is estimated that the competitive selling price for color laser printers of this type will drop to $400 next year. Instant Image has established a target cost to maintain its historical markup percentage on product cost. Engineers have provided the following cost-reduction ideas:

Purchase a plastic printer cover with snap-on assembly, rather than with screws. This will reduce the amount of direct labor by 15 minutes per unit.
Add an inspection step that will add six minutes per unit of direct labor but reduce the materials cost by $20 per unit.
Decrease the cycle time of the injection molding machine from four minutes to three minutes per part. Forty percent of the direct labor and 48% of the factory overhead are related to running injection molding machines.
The direct labor rate is $30 per hour.

Answer:

It could be 105, 112 or 133.

Step-by-step explanation:

Having 7 as a factor means it is a multiple of 7.

The first 3 digit multiple of 7: 100 ÷ 7 = 14 2/7 → first 3 digit multiple of 7 is 15 × 7 = 105

Last 3 digit multiple of 7 less than 140: 140 ÷ 7 = 20 → last 3 digit multiple of 7 less than 140 is 19 × 7 = 133

→ The possible multiples of 7 to consider are [15..19] × 7 which gives 105, 112, 119, 126 and 133.

The sum of the digits of these number is:

105 → 1 + 0 + 5 = 6

112 → 1 + 1 + 2 = 4

119 → 1 + 1 + 9 = 11

126 → 1 + 2 + 6 = 9

133 → 1 + 3 + 3 = 7

Of these sums only 6, 4 and 7 are less than 9, thus the possible numbers are 105, 112 or 113.

Step-by-step explanation:

The format of P(n, r) is used for permutations,

where      [tex]P(n, r) = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!}[/tex]

To evaluate this expression, P(9,2), we use the formula of permutation,

We have the value of n = 9 and r = 2, thus,

[tex]P(n, r) = P(9, 2) = \frac{9!}{(9 - 2)!} =\frac{9!}{7!} =\frac{9*8*7!}{7!} = 9 *8 =72\\[/tex]

To evaluate this expression, P(6, 5), we use the formula of permutation,

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: Using the pythagorean theorem A^2 + B^2 = C^2 where C is the hypotenuse of the triangle and any A and B are any sides of the triangle that are not the hypotenuse; we can rewrite this as A^2 = C^2 - B^2 to find out the missing side. I picked A to be the unknown side but you could also choose B. We know the hypotenuse is 39, and side B is 36. 39^2 - 36^2, or 1521 - 1296, is 225.

Now we have A^2 = 225. To get rid of the square, we have to take the square root of both sides. The A^2 cancels to be A, and sqrt(225) is 15. Thus, side A, or the missing side is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

the total area to be painted :

= The total surface area - area of the floor

= area of the walls + area of the ceiling

area of the walls :

= [2 × (30+20)] × 12

= 1 200

area of the ceiling :

= length × width

= 30 × 20

The limit of f(x) as x goes to 1 will not exist for function III.

A limit is given by the value of function f(x) as x tends to a value. For a function with different lateral limits at a point x = a, the limit will not exist at the point x = a. Additionally, the limit may not exist at a point if there is a non-removeable discontinuity.

Factoring the function 1, the limit will be given as follows:

[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{1 - x^2}{x - 1} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{(1 - x)(1 + x)}{x - 1} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} -(1 +x) = -2[/tex]

Hence the limit exists.

Factoring the function 2, the limit will be given as follows:

[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{x^2 - x^3}{x^2 - 1} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{x^2(1 - x)}{(x - 1)(x + 1)} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} -\frac{x^2}{x + 1} = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Hence the limit exists.

Factoring the function 3, the limit will be given as follows:

[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{x + 1}{x^2 - 1} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{x + 1}{(x - 1)(x + 1)} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{1}{x - 1}[/tex]

Non-revemoveable discontinuity, as we can't remove x - 1 for the denominator, ence the limit does not exist for function III.

The value of the composite functions (g∘f)(x) and (f∘g)(x)   are 32x^2 + 16x + 3 and 8x^2 + 5 respectively

Composite function is also known as function of a function. They are determined by representing x with the other function.

Given the following functions

f(x)=4x+1

g(x)=2x^2+1

(f∘g)(x) = f(g(x))

(f∘g)(x) = f(2x^2+1)

(f∘g)(x) = 4(2x^2+1) + 1

(f∘g)(x)  =8x^2 + 5

For the composite function (g∘f)(x)

(g∘f)(x) = g(f(x))

(g∘f)(x) = g(4x+1)

Replace x wit 4x+1  to have:

(g∘f)(x) = 2(4x+1)^2 + 1

(g∘f)(x)= 2(16x^2+8x+1) + 1

(g∘f)(x) = 32x^2 + 16x + 3

Peter:

£2.30 ÷ 6 = £0.38 each sausage

Paul:

£3.50 ÷ 10 = £0.35 each sausage

As you can tell, it is cheaper to buy from Paul because each sausage is £0.35 which is 3 pence less than buying from Peter.

In other words, the best value for money would go to the 10 pack sausage, saving £0.03 per unit of sausage.

However, that doesn't answer the question. You need to find how many packages you can get with your available £10.

£10 ÷ £2.30 = 4.34...

So, you can buy 4 packs of sausage from Peter - meaning you will get 24 sausages in total. This is because each pack contains 6 sausages, and you have 4 of this. (6x4=24)

£10 ÷ £3.50 = 2.85...

So, you can buy 2 packs of sausages from Paul & meaning you will get 20 sausages in toal because each package contains 10 sausages. (2x10 = 20)

Thus, you should buy from Peter because you get 24 sausages, instead of 20 sausages from Paul, in accordance to the £10 you can spend in both shops.

Hope this helps!

we conclude that the store where you can get more sausages is in Peter the Butcher.

You have £10.

Peter the Butcher sells 6 sausages for £2.30

The number of packages that you can buy is:

£10/£2.30 = 4.3

Rounding down to the next whole number, we conclude that here you can buy 4 packages, then:

4*6 = 24 sausages

4*£2.30 = £9.20

So here you can buy 24 sausages for £9.20

In Paul the butcher, you can buy 10 sausages for £3.50

Notice that here you can only buy 2 packages (because the cost of 3 packs would be  £10.50, which is more than the amount you can spend).

Then here you only can get 20 sausages.

Then, we conclude that the store where you can get more sausages is in Peter the Butcher.

Step-by-step explanation:

If he sells and makes x paintings, his expenses will he 10+45x and his revenue will be 50x.

The break-even point is the point at which total cost and total income are equal. For breakeven, Lamar needs to sell 2 paintings.

In economics, business, and especially cost accounting, the break-even point is the point at which total cost and total income are equal, i.e. "even."

Let the number of paintings that Lamar makes and sells at the break-even point be represented by x.

Given that Lamar bought some brushes for $10, and paint and canvas for each painting cost $45. Therefore, the total cost of making x number of paintings is,

Total cost of x painting = $10 + $45(x)

Also, the selling price of each painting is $50. Therefore, the revenue generated from x paintings is,

Revenue generated = $50(x)

Further, at the breakeven point, the total cost of production of any product is equal to the revenue generated by the product. Therefore, we can write,

Total cost of x painting = Revenue generated

$10 + $45(x) = $50(x)

10 + 45x = 50x

10 = 50x - 45x

10 = 5x

x = 10/5

x = 2

From the question the figure, the number of colored sections with which are not colored with respect to a "touching" colored section, would not be half of the total colored sections since the sections are not alternating as they still meet at a common point.

After all, it notes no two touching sections, not adjacent sections.

There is no equation to calculate this requirement with respect to the total number of sections.

Taking one triangle or square as the starting we can give colors to each small units. This figure will be the start of sequence of other small figures.

If a square were to be this starting shape that have same color as that color of the square.

Now from the remaining given another color to the starting figure. We will get that shapes, that will have same color.

Like that the remaining figures are given colors.          

Therefore, the least number of colored sections you can color in the sections meeting the given requirement, is 5 sections for this first figure.
