The 1/2 page should be written in a formal language.

Use incremental analysis for further processing of materials decision

Anna Garden recently opened her own basket weaving studio. She sells finished baskets in addition to the raw materials needed by customers to weave baskets of their own. Anna has put together a variety of raw material kits, each including materials at various stages of completion. Unfortunately, owing to space limitations, Anna is unable to carry all varieties of kits originally assembled and must choose between two basic packages.

The basic introductory kit includes undyed, uncut reeds (with dye included) for weaving one basket. This basic package costs Anna $16 and sells for $30. The second kit, called Stage 2, includes cut reeds that have already been dyed. With this kit the customer need only soak the reeds and weave the basket. Anna is able to produce the second kit by using the basic materials included in the first kit and adding one hour of her own time, which she values at $18 per hour. Because she is more efficient at cutting and dying reeds than her average customer, Anna is able to make two kits of the dyed reeds, in one hour, from one kit of undyed reeds. The Stage 2 kit sells for $36.

Instructions:

Determine whether Anna’s basket weaving studio should carry the basic introductory kit with undyed and uncut reeds or the Stage 2 kit with reeds already dyed and cut. Prepare an incremental analysis to support your answer.

Need business and finance help with Week 6 assignment CO210

Please answer both parts of the question:

Part 1

Prepare a one-page description of your plans to solve the problem for one of the following research studies. Use the following headings for the problem:

1. Statement of the Problem
2. Research Method and Sources of Information (BE SECIFIC)
3. Nature of Data to Be Gathered and Analyzed
4. Hypothesis or Hypotheses to Be Proved or Disproved (if feasible)

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• a. Investigate a problem occurring on your campus (e.g., declining enrollment in some majors, increasing tuition, delayed financial aid payments, high cost of textbooks, or closed classes) or in a job or student organization position you hold.
• b. Superior Foods, Inc., is considering adding organic versions of its frozen vegetables in an effort to establish itself as a leader in this fast-growing market. To increase its available supply of organic produce, management recognizes the need to assist local growers in adopting organic farming methods. The first step in this process is to recruit experts in organic farming to design and implement training.
• c. Rainbow Pool and Spas initiated a website to provide answers to frequently asked questions and product-update information. Customer response has been outstanding, freeing up the company’s toll-free telephone lines for calls about more technical, nonrecurring problems—a primary goal of the service. As marketing manager, you are considering the possibility of starting a corporate blog and a microblogging site on Twitter to strengthen your relationship and communication with customers.
• d. As branch manager of a bank, you are faced with the task in a sagging economy of reassuring customers of the solvency of your institution. Your current strategies for casting a positive light on negative performance indicators don’t seem to be effective.

Do the Math #1: Monthly Payments and Finance Charges

Kimberly Jensen and Rebecca Parker of Mankato, Minnesota, are both single. The pair share an apartment on the limited resources provided through Kimberly’s disability check from Social Security and Rebecca’s part-time job at a grocery store. The two grew tired of their old furniture and went shopping. A local store offered credit at an APR of 16 percent, with a maximum term of four years. The furniture they wish to purchase costs $2,800, with no down payment required. Using Table 7-1 or the Garman/Forgue companion website, make the following calculations:

• a) What is the amount of their monthly payment if they borrow for four years?
• b) What are the total finance charges over that four year period?
• c) How would the payment change if Kimberly and Rebecca reduced the loan term to three years?
• d) What are the total finance charges over that three-year period?
• e) How would the payment change if they could afford a down payment of $500 with four years of financing?
• f) What are the total finance charges over that four-year period given the $500 down payment?
• g) How would the payment change if they could afford a down payment of $500 with three years of financing?
• h) What are the total finance charges over that three-year period given the $500 down payment?

Do the Math #5: Rule of 78s. Aaron Carson of Hays, Kansas, obtained a two-year installment loan for $1,500 to buy some furniture eight months ago. The loan had a 12.6 percent APR and a finance charge of $204.72. His monthly payment is $71.03. Aaron has made eight monthly payments and now wants to pay off the remainder of the loan. The lender will use the Rule of 78s method to calculate a prepayment penalty.

• a) How much will Aaron need to give the lender to pay off the loan?
• b) What is the dollar amount of the prepayment penalty on this loan?
