Question 1
Can you please answer this question using an Excel file? Thank you! 1. EBIT and setting the price A group of venture investors is considering putting money into Lemma Books, which wants to produce a new reader for electronic books. The variable cost per unit is estimated at $250, the sales price would be set at twice the VC/unit, fixed costs are estimated at $750,000, and the investors will put up the funds if the project is likely to have an operating income of $500,000 or more. What sales volume would be required in order to meet this profit goal? 2. Cash conversion cycle Zervos Inc. had the following data for 2008 (in millions). The new CFO believes (1) that an improved inventory management system could lower the average inventory by $4,000, (2) that improvements in the credit department could reduce receivables by $2,000, and (3) that the purchasing department could negotiate better credit terms and thereby increase accounts payable by $2,000. Furthermore, she thinks that these changes would not affect either sales or the costs of goods sold. If these changes were made, by how many days would the cash conversion cycle be lowered? Original Revised Annual sales: unchanged $110,000 $110,000 Cost of goods sold: unchanged $80,000 $80,000 Average inventory: lowered by $4,000 $20,000 $16,000 Average receivables: lowered by $2,000 $16,000 $14,000 Average payables: increased by $2,000 $10,000 $12,000 Days in year 365 365

Order and define these technology gaps in a logical and concise manner for analysis. Step 1: Determine the application or technology and related sub-elements under evaluation?at least 10 items should be derived from the case study. Step 2: Based on the information provided in the case study, document how the application under evaluation is performing. Include any issues or problems. Step 3: What timeline is expected? Provide estimates regarding expected/needed implementations, with rationale. Step 4: Describe how the application will operate after the indicated issues have been addressed. Describe the optimal state of the application, and highlight the differences between the "as is" and "to be" states within the candidate infrastructure. Step 5: Provide a high-level recommendation regarding the next steps to take in making the effort to close the gap.

Question 5
The average price of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline was reported to be $2.34 in northern Kentucky (The Cincinnati Enquirer, January 21, 2006). Use this price as the population mean, and assume the population standard deviation is $.20. a.What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 service stations is within $.03 of the population mean (to 4 decimals)? b.What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 service stations is within $.03 of the population mean (to 4 decimals)? Business Week conducted a survey of graduates from 30 top MBA programs (Business Week, September 22, 2003). The survey found that the average annual salary for male and female graduates 10 years after graduation was $168,000 and $117,000, respectively. Assume the population standard deviation for the male graduates is $35,000, and for the female graduates it is $25,000. a.What is the probability that a simple random sample of 40 male graduates will provide a sample mean within $10,000 of the population mean, $168,000 (to 4 decimals)? b.What is the probability that a simple random sample of 40 female graduates will provide a sample mean within $10,000 of the population mean, $117,000 (to 4 decimals)? c.In which of the preceding two cases, part (a) or part (b), do we have a higher probability of obtaining a sample estimate within $10,000 of the population mean? - Select your answer -Part (a) because the population mean for males is higherPart (a) because the population standard deviation for males is higherPart (b) because the population mean for females is lowerPart (b) because the population standard deviation for females is lower d.What is the probability that a simple random sample of 100 male graduates will provide a sample mean more than $4,000 below the population mean (to 4 decimals)? c.What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 service stations is within $.03 of the population mean (to 4 decimals)? d.Calculate the sample size necessary to guarantee at least .95 probability that the sample mean is within $.03 of the population mean (0 decimals).
