Consuelo​ Chua, Inc., is a disk drive manufacturer in need of an aggregate plan for July through December. The company has gathered the following data. There are 8 hours of production per day.

What will each of the two following strategies​ cost?

​a) Vary the workforce so that production approximates demand. Chua had eight workers on board in June. (Enter all responses as whole numbers​).

Fill in the table below. ​(Enter all responses as whole numbers. In the​ hire/layoff column, use positive numbers for hires-plus signs​ omitted; negative numbers for​ layoffs.)

​* No costs are incurred for unmet demand.

​**When computing​ "Personnel on​ Staff," if 0.5 or more of an employee is needed round up and hire one more​ employee; if less than​ 0.5, round down.

The total inventory cost​ = __. (Enter your response as a whole​ number.)

The total hiring cost​ =__. (Enter your response as a whole​ number.)

The total layoff cost =__. ​(Enter your response as a whole​ number.)

The total​ cost, excluding normal time labor​ costs, is​ = __. (Enter your response as a whole​ number.)

Read the words in from the binary file and figure out how many times each word appears in the file. Display the results to the user.

Use ObjectInputStream to read binary file

Use a HashMap with the word as a key (String) and an Integer as the value. For each word, first check to see if it already exists in the Map. If not, add the word as key with a value of 1 for the Integer value. If it does, get the current value and increment by 1 – replace the old key,value with the new key, value. After all the words are processed and the HashMap is complete. Iterate through the Hash map and display the results in a user -friendly fashion.

Create an easy to read table and print to the console. Hint: Use tabs (/t) (values are not from file)

Example:

Word                     Count

A                             190

Apple                        6

Alberta Corp. (Alberta) manufactures hair shampoo using two departments: a mixing department and a bottling department. Shampoo manufacturing starts with the addition of all of the ingredients in the mixing department. Direct labour and overhead are added evenly throughout the month. Alberta uses the first-in, first-out method of process costing and provided the following information for the month of October.

Beginning work-in-process (WIP) inventory in the mixing department consisted of 750 units that were 15% of the way through the process. This beginning inventory included costs of $5,150 for direct materials, direct labour of $6,250 and overhead of $8,315.

During October, direct materials of $28,950 were added to the mixing department, and

$32,650 in direct labour costs and $55,450 in overhead costs were incurred. At the end of October, 13,500 completed units were transferred to the bottling department, and the remaining 1,650 units in the mixing department were 55% complete.

Required:

Calculate the value of WIP inventory in the mixing department at the end of October.

A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 5.5%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are:

What is the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

A small firm intends to increase the capacity of a bottleneck operation by adding a new machine. Two alternatives, A and B, have been identified, and the associated costs and revenues have been estimated. Annual fixed costs would be $36,000 for A and $31,000 for B; variable costs per unit would be $7 for A and $11 for B; and revenue per unit would be $17. a. Determine each alternative’s break-even point in units. (Round your answer to the nearest whole amount.) QBEP,A units QBEP,B units b. At what volume of output would the two alternatives yield the same profit (or loss)? (Round your answer to the nearest whole amount.) Profit units c.

An investor purchased 550 shares of stock A at $22.50 per share and 1,050 shares of stock B at $30.50 per share one year ago. Stock A and stock B paid quarterly dividends of $2.50 per share and $2.00 per share, respectively, during the year. One year later, the investor sold both stocks at $30.50 per share. The correlation coefficient (ρ_AB) is 0.3 and the standard deviations of stock A and stock B are 20.5 percent and 15.5 percent, respectively.

Calculate the standard deviation of the portfolio. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, e.g. 15.2512 and the final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25%.)

A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a rate of 5.8%. The probability distribution of the risky funds is as follows:

The correlation between the fund returns is 0.18.

Solve numerically for the proportions of each asset and for the expected return and standard deviation of the optimal risky portfolio.
