Livingston Fabrication has created the following aggregate plan for the next five months: August September October November December
Forecasting demand (units of finished goods)
1,000,000.00 1,000,000.00 2,000,000.00 4,000,000.00 1,000,000.00
Production plan
2,000,000.00 2,000,000.00 2,000,000.00 2,000,000.00 2,000,000.00
Assume that Livingston will have nothing in inventory at the end of July. Livingston employs 500 production assembly workers and it takes one production assembly worker 3 minutes to assemble one unit of finished good. (The unit is complete at that point.) Each production assembly worker can provide 160 hours of assembly time a month without requiring overtime pay.
Livingston wants to complete this plan without working any overtime in assembly. How many additional production assembly workers does Livingston need to hire, in order to accomplish this? When should they be hired?
Using this production plan, how many units will be in inventory at the end of October?
What will the average inventory level be each month?

Peninsula products has just applied for a loan at your bank. when reviewing peninsula's books for the year that just ended, you notice that the firm uses the fair value option for its bonds payable. you also see that the firm recorded a $55,000 debit in its bonds payable account and a $55,000 credit in its unrealized holding gain or loss"income account. over that same period, interest rates decreased by about 0.5 percent. how should this information affect the bank's decision as to whether to grant peninsula a loan? a : the bank should strongly consider giving a loan to peninsula because the changes in firm's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts suggest that peninsula has seen an increase in its credit rating over the past year. b : the bank should put little emphasis on the changes in peninsula's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts because these changes are likely the result of the rise in interest rates. c : the bank should hesitate before giving a loan to peninsula because the changes in firm's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts suggest that peninsula has seen a decline in its credit rating over the past year. d : the bank should put little emphasis on the changes in peninsula's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts because these changes are likely unrelated to either interest rates or the firm's credit rating.

Suppose an economy has only two sectors: goods and services. each year, goods sells 80% of its outputs to services and keeps the rest, while services sells 62% of its output to goods and retains the rest. find equilibrium prices for the annual outputs of the goods and services sectors that make each sector's income match its expenditures.
