Orange Corp. has two divisions: Fruit and Flower. The following information for the past year is available for each division:

Fruit Division Flower Division
Sales revenue $ 1,740,000 $ 2,610,000
Cost of goods sold and operating expenses 1,392,000 1,957,500
Net operating income $ 348,000 $ 652,500
Average invested assets $ 3,480,000 $ 2,718,750

   

Orange has established a hurdle rate of 6 percent.   

Required:
1-a. Compute each division’s return on investment (ROI) and residual income for last year. (Enter your ROI answers as a percentage rounded to two decimal places, (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34%.))

         
2. Suppose Orange is investing in new technology that will increase each division’s operating income by $131,000. The total investment required is $2,200,000, which will be split evenly between the two divisions. Calculate the ROI and return on investment for each division after the investment is made. (Enter your ROI answers as a percentage rounded to two decimal places, (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34%.))

A geyser is a hot spring in which water occasionally boils, sending a tall column of water and steam into the air. A temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature near the geyser. The data from the sensor is sent to a microprocessor.

A geyser is a hot spring in which water occasionally boils, sending a tall column of water and steam into the air. A temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature near the geyser. The data from the sensor is sent to a microprocessor

Explain why the data from the sensor has to be changed before it is read by the microprocessor.

Describe three advantages of using sensors and microprocessors to monitor the temperature in geysers rather than using manual methods.

12. Elastic and inelastic supply 

The following graph shows the supply of a good.

For each of the regions, use the midpoint method to identify whether the supply of this good is elastic or inelastic.

True or False: For high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes more elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to increase production further.

A 129-kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.51 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 67.5-kg person stands on the platform at a distance of 1.09 m from the center and a 25.3-kg dog sits on the platform near the person, 1.37 m from the center. Find the moment of inertia of this system, consisting of the platform and its population, with respect to the axis.
