You are trying to increase your monthly savings to buy a used car. your boss allows you to work one hour of overtime at time-and-half 5 days per week. your regular wage is $12.00 per hour. you want to save $3,000 for your car. approximately how many weeks must you work with the extra hour per day to reach your goal?

46 weeks

Explanation:

Let x be hours of overtime needed to reach your goal.

Since you are working only half five days, you'll work for a total of (0.5 *5 ) =2.5 days

12x+ [ (0.5*5)*8*12 ]=3000

12x+240=3000

12x=3000-240

12x=2760

x= 230 overtime hrs

If 5 overtime hours = 1 week

therefore, 230 overtime hours= 230/5 = 46 weeks

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
