Production. Ella makes boeuf bourguignon using equipment that she rents for $75 and beef, potatoes, wine and other ingredients that cost $12.50 a serving. (Note that she signed a lease and pays the rent regardless of how many dinners she serves.) She hires workers at $25 each and finds that they produce servings according to the following schedule:

a. Calculate and graph the marginal cost of each serving. (Use a spreadsheet show all your calculations!) Why does the MC curve have the slope (up, down, or flat) that it does?

b. Calculate and graph the marginal cost of each serving if workers become more productive so each serving can be made with only 70% as much labor. Show your calculations! Calculate and graph marginal cost if workers suffer a 30% pay cut with the old productivity. Compare the effect on MC of the productivity increase with the pay cut.

What would the return on investment be by the end of the second year?

use the index to determine the value of the condo each month.

An investor bought a $120,000 condo by putting 20% down and borrowing the rest using a 15 year mortgage with an annual rate of 4.8%. ignore the opportunity cost of the down payment to the investor. Calculate the monthly payments. Three years later she sold the condo, what was her return on her investment?( think IRR or Rate) What percentage of her equity at the time of the sale was due to the change in the value of the condo?

create a data table with the return on investment as the output. the column input is the down payment percent ,going from 0% to 20% in increments of 5%. the row input is the mortgage rate, going from 4% to 6% in increments of 0.5%. Discuss your findings from the data table. what price would she have to sell the condo after three years in order to make a return of 0.5% a month?

Exercise 14-4 Prepare a Statement of Cash Flows [LO14-1, LO14-2] The following changes took place last year in Pavolik Company’s balance sheet accounts: Asset and Contra-Asset Accounts Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Accounts Cash $ 5 D Accounts payable $ 35 I Accounts receivable $ 110 I Accrued liabilities $ 4 D Inventory $ 70 D Income taxes payable $ 8 I Prepaid expenses $ 9 I Bonds payable $ 150 I Long-term investments $ 6 D Common stock $ 80 D Property, plant, and equipment $ 185 I Retained earnings $ 54 I Accumulated depreciation $ 60 I D = Decrease; I = Increase. Long-term investments that cost the company $6 were sold during the year for $16 and land that cost $15 was sold for $9. In addition, the company declared and paid $30 in cash dividends during the year. Besides the sale of land, no other sales or retirements of plant and equipment took place during the year. Pavolik did not retire any bonds during the year or issue any new common stock. The company’s income statement for the year follows: Sales $ 700 Cost of goods sold 400 Gross margin 300 Selling and administrative expenses 184 Net operating income 116 Nonoperating items: Loss on sale of land $ (6 ) Gain on sale of investments 10 4 Income before taxes 120 Income taxes 36 Net income $ 84 The company’s beginning cash balance was $90 and its ending balance was $85. Required: 1. Use the indirect method to determine the net cash provided by operating activities for the year. 2. Prepare a statement of cash flows for the year.

Monthly revenue for the past 20 months of all the products sold in the Health and Beauty Department of Green Corporation is contained in the Excel data file. Use that data to answer the following.

1. Obtain a Moving Average forecast of the data using 3 periods to get the moving average – i.e., MA3 forecast. Plot the results on one chart with the plots showing both the actual line and the MA3 line. Show the screenshot of the plot (copy as picture and paste) below. What is the MAD of this forecast? What is the MAPE?

2. Obtain the Exponential Smoothing (ES) Forecast using a = 0.25. Plot the results on one chart with the plots showing both the actual line and the ES forecast line. Show the screenshot of the plot (copy as picture and paste) below. What is the MAD of this forecast? What is the MAPE?
