Assume organic ice cream company, inc., bought a new ice cream production kit (pasteurizer/homogenizer, cooler, aging vat, freezer, and filling machine) at the beginning of the year at a cost of $24,000. the estimated useful life was four years, and the residual value was $2,580. assume that the estimated productive life of the machine was 10,200 hours. actual annual usage was 4,080 hours in year 1; 3,060 hours in year 2; 2,040 hours in year 3; and 1,020 hours in year 4 required: 1. complete a separate depreciation schedule for each of the alternative methods. a. straight-line. b. units-of-production c. double-declining-balance. net depreciation accumulated expense year depreciation book value at acquisition 1 2. 3 4

The assumptions of the production order quantity model are met in a situation where annual demand is 3650 units, setup cost is $50, holding cost is $12 per unit per year, the daily demand rate is 10 and the daily production rate is 100. the production order quantity for this problem is approximately:

You own a nonunion company with 93 nonexempt employees. all of these employ- ees pack books into boxes for shipment to customers throughout the united states. because of wide differences in performance, you have decided to try performance appraisal, something never done before. until now, you have given every worker the same size increase. now you want to measure performance and reward the best performers with bigger increases. without any further information, which of the five types of appraisal formats do you think would be most appropriate? justify your answer. do you anticipate any complaints, or other comments, from employees after you implement your new system?

Suppose that fizzo and pop hop are the only two firms that sell orange soda. the following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether or not it advertises: pop hopadvertise doesn’t advertisefizzo advertise 10, 10 18, 2doesn’t advertise 2, 18 11, 11for example, the upper right cell shows that if fizzo advertises and pop hop doesn't advertise, fizzo will make a profit of $18 million, and pop hop will make a profit of $2 million. assume this is a simultaneous game and that fizzo and pop hop are both profit-maximizing firms. if fizzo decides to advertise, it will earn a profit if pop hop advertises and a profit if pop hop does not advertise. if fizzo decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit if pop hop advertises and a profit if pop hop does not advertise. if pop hop advertises, fizzo makes a higher profit if it chooses (not to advertise, to .if pop hop doesn't advertise, fizzo makes a higher profit if it chooses (not to advertise, to . suppose that both firms start off not advertising. if the firms act independently, what strategies will they end up choosing? fizzo will choose to advertise and pop hop will choose not to advertise. both firms will choose to advertise. fizzo will choose not to advertise and pop hop will choose to advertise. both firms will choose not to advertise. again, suppose that both firms start off not advertising. if the firms decide to collude, what strategies will they end up choosing? fizzo will choose not to advertise and pop hop will choose to advertise. both firms will choose not to advertise. fizzo will choose to advertise and pop hop will choose not to advertise. both firms will choose to advertise.
