Pyramid Printing Company’s Controller, Sally Sound, and the Production Manager, Darrell Dailey, once again discuss potential operational improvements. After successfully implementing JIT and subletting the warehouse space, Pyramid was flush with cash. As a result, Darrell inquired whether it was time to purchase another press. Henry Hines, Pyramid Printing’s Sales Manager, suggested that the market be tested to ensure the press would be full in terms of capacity prior to use.

Sally and Darrell then discuss their choice of decision model; Sally prefers net present value, and Darrell prefers internal rate of return. Consider the use of these models. Which model is better for use? Are there circumstances one must consider regarding the outcomes of these two decision models? Do these models both deliver the same level of accuracy for decision making?

Please provide detail information..

Mr April has been left 30,000 € which he plans to invest on the Stock Exchange in order to have a source of capital should he decide to start his own business in a few years’ time. A friend of his who works in the City of London has told him that the London Stock Exchange shows strong form market efficiency.

If this is the case, which of the following investment strategies should Mr April follow?

Select one:

a. Study the company reports in the press and try to spot under-valued shares in which to invest.

b. Invest in two or three blue chip companies and hold the shares for as long as possible

c. Build up a good spread of shares in different industry sectors

d. Study the company reports in press and try to spot strongly growing companies in which to invest

4). Commemorative coins are being struck at the local foundry. A gold blank (a solid gold disc with no markings on it) is inserted into a hydraulic press and the obverse design is pressed onto one side of the disc (this step fails with probability 0.15). The work is examined and if the obverse pressing is good, the coin is put into a second hydraulic press and the reverse design is imprinted (this step fails with probability 0.08). The completed coin is now examined and if of sufficient quality is passed on for finishing (cleaning, buffing, and so on). Twenty gold blanks are going to undergo pressing for this commemorative coin. Assume that all pressings are independent of each other.

4a: What are the mean and variance of the number of good coins manufactured?

4b: If the blanks cost $300 each and the labor to produce the finished coins costs $3,000, what is the probability that the production cost to make the 20 coins (labor and materials) can be recovered by selling the coins for $500 each?

Purple Haze Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $589,114 is estimated to result in $190,416 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $109,288. The shop's tax rate is 29 percent. What is the OCF for year 4? (Round your final answer to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign and commas in your response. For example, $123,456.78 should be entered as 123457.)

Question

Part a: A manager is evaluating production and inventory. In looking over the data, he decides that a product should be continued if it sold 23,000 over the previous year. In addition, the product is considered “popular” if it receives 50 mentions by the local press over the past year.

In selecting a product at random from the catalog, let C be the likelihood that this particular product sold 23,000 products the past year. Let P be the likelihood that the product received the 50 or more mentions by the local press.

The analyst determines that P(C) = 0.297, P(P) = 0.162, and the probability that a product has sold 8000 items, and was ‘popular’ is 0.083. What is the probability that a randomly selected product either sold the requisite 23,000 items, or that it is ‘popular’?

Part b: Where would the analyst have come up with the probaility values for P(C) andP(P)?

Flexible Overhead Budget Carson Wood Products Company prepared the following factory overhead cost budget for the Press Department for April of the current year, during which it expected to require 9,000 hours of productive capacity in the department: Variable overhead cost: Indirect factory labor $70,200 Power and light 2,610 Indirect materials 25,200 Total variable overhead cost $98,010 Fixed overhead cost: Supervisory salaries $34,300 Depreciation of plant and equipment 21,560 Insurance and property taxes 13,720 Total fixed overhead cost 69,580 Total factory overhead cost $167,590 Assuming that the estimated costs for May are the same as for April, prepare a flexible factory overhead cost budget for the Press Department for May for 7,000, 9,000, and 11,000 hours of production. Round your interim computations to the nearest cent, if required. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

PYTHON Exercise 3. Phone Number and Email Address Extractor

Say you have the boring task of finding every phone number and email address in a long web page or document. If you manually scroll through the page, you might end up searching for a long time. But if you had a program that could search the text in your clipboard for phone numbers and email addresses, you could simply press ctrl-A to select all the text, press ctrl-C to copy it to the clipboard, and then run your program. It could replace the text on the clipboard with just the phone numbers and email addresses it finds.

So, your phone and email address extractor will need to do the following: - Get the text off the clipboard. - Find all phone numbers and email addresses in the text. - Paste them onto the clipboard.
