Digital Eye must design an assembly line to produce a new line of slim digital cameras. Assembling a single camera required the completion of nine distinct tasks, and information about each of these tasks is provided below:
Task Immediate Predecessors Task Duration (sec.)
A None 10
B A 30
C A 25
D B 18
E B 5
F B 17
G D, E 37
H C, F 30
I H 12
This assembly line operates 8 hours per day to produce 576 digital cameras daily. Digital Eye uses the LPT rule to create the design.
1. What is the cycle time of Digital Eye's assembly line, in seconds?
2. How many workstations are required by this design and what tasks will be done at which workstations?
3. Which workstation enjoys the maximum idle time? How efficient is this design?
4. How does the actual number of workstations required by this design compare to its theoretical minimum number of workstations?

On january 1, 2017, fisher corporation purchased 40 percent (90,000 shares) of the common stock of bowden, inc. for $980,000 in cash and began to use the equity method for the investment. the price paid represented a $48,000 payment in excess of the book value of fisher's share of bowden's underlying net assets. fisher was willing to make this extra payment because of a recently developed patent held by bowden with a 15-year remaining life. all other assets were considered appropriately valued on bowden's books. bowden declares and pays a $90,000 cash dividend to its stockholders each year on september 15. bowden reported net income of $400,000 in 2017 and $348,000 in 2018. each income figure was earned evenly throughout its respective year. on july 1, 2018, fisher sold 10 percent (22,500 shares) of bowden's outstanding shares for $338,000 in cash. although it sold this interest, fisher maintained the ability to significantly influence bowden's decision-making process. prepare the journal entries for fisher for the years of 2017 and 2018. (if no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "no journal entry required" in the first account field. do not round intermediate calculations. round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

You are working on a bid to build two city parks a year for the next three years. this project requires the purchase of $249,000 of equipment that will be depreciated using straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the three-year project life. ignore bonus depreciation. the equipment can be sold at the end of the project for $115,000. you will also need $18.000 in net working capital for the duration of the project. the fixed costs will be $37000 a year and the variable costs will be $148,000 per park. your required rate of return is 14 percent and your tax rate is 21 percent. what is the minimal amount you should bid per park? (round your answer to the nearest $100) (a) $214,300 (b) $214,100 (c) $212,500 (d) $208,200 (e) $208,400
