Tesla is a company recently in the news for a conflict of interest between the SEC and the CEO Elon Musk due to an interest to bring the company private by the CEO who shared on Twitter his short term plans. Production issues, a number of layoffs and the increasing demand for the electric vehicles were expressed by the CEO as reasons to bring the company private that would allow the company to restructure its company internally. The company has since rescinded its position remaining as a public company. The SEC stated that it was swaying investors by stating that the company would do so when it reached a stock price of $420 forcing investors to make a decision or artificially driving the stock price to the sale price in order to bring the company private faster. Elon Musk has previously tweeted about its stock price in terms of its standing in the market however this is the first where the market has reacted to his tweets negatively. Possible solutions to the situation would be to address investors by other measures in addition to Twitter. Twitter being a social network for CEO’s to interact with customers and investors directly however a more formal approach might have been ideal in this situation.

Given the projected demands for the next six months, prepare an aggregate plan that uses inventory, regular time, overtime, subcontract and backorders. Regular time is limited to 160 units per month (Cost per Unit = $60 ). Overtime is limited to a maximum of 20 units per month (Cost per Unit =$90). Units purchased from the subcontractor (Cost per Unit = $108 ) cannot exceed 50 per month and the total purchases from the subcontractor over the 6 month period cannot be over 200 units. Backorders cannot exceed 70 units in any given month (Cost per Unit = $5 ) and must be no more than 10 in Period 6. Average Inventory Holding cost per Unit = $10. Forecasted Demand as well as Beginning and desired Ending Inventory are listed in the table below.

You are hired as a junior manager at a state-owned institution at the beginning of 2021 with a salary of $100,000. You must choose between two retirement plans in the first week of your employment. This choice cannot be reversed. The two alternatives are:

• the state’s defined benefit plan (DBP): under which you will receive annual retirement benefits determined by the following formula: 1.5% * years of service * salary at retirement.

• a defined contribution plan (DCP): under which the institution will contribute each year an amount equal to 8% of your salary to your retirement fund.

You assume that salaries will rise by 3% a year, the interest rate and return of retirement assets will roughly match the market index return of 8%, you will retire after 35 years (end of 2055), and receive retirement payment for the subsequent 25 years (between the end of 2055 and the end of 2080).
