Solution :
Given :
The production output per day = 75 units
Production time per day = 24 hours
Therefore, the cycle time is
= [tex]$\frac{\text{production time per day}}{\text{outpu}t \text{ per day} }$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{24 \times 60}{75}$[/tex]
= 19.2 mins
≈ 20 minutes
The desired cycle time = 15 minutes per unit
Given the task times of A to E from the table.
Sum of the task times (A to E) = 4 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 3
= 20 minutes
Number of workstations needed = (sun of total task times) / (cycle time)
[tex]$=\frac{20}{15}$[/tex]
= 1.33
≈ 2 work stations
The management at BuyRite grocery stores wishes to estimate the amount of time that customers are spending, on average, in its stores and in a checkout line. The most obvious approach for determining this information is to simply record when a customer enters and exits the store. However, it is difficult to track the entering and exiting times of specific customers. We will look at the problem using an alternative approach. Over the past two weeks, the following data have been collected at BuyRite’s newest store during busy hours (this BuyRite is rather large and typically has 7 open checkout lines). For simplicity, let us assume that the overall capacity at checkout lines is higher than the arrival rate of customers into the store.
Average rate of customers entering store = 305 customers/hour
Average number of customers in store = 146 customers
Percentage of customers who do not make a purchase = 5%
Average number of customers in the checkout lines = 24 customers
As their consultant, you have been asked by BuyRite’s management to address the following questions:
(a) How much time on average does a customer spend in the store?
(b) How much time on average does a customer spend waiting?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the time on an average that customer spend in the store is given below:
As we know that
Average number of Customers = Average rate of Customers Entered × Average time spend
So, Average time spend = Average number of Customers ÷ Average rate of Customers Entered
= 146 ÷ 305
= 0.478689 Hours
Now
= 0.478689 × 60
= 28.72 minutes
b. The computation of the time on an average the customer spend waiting is given below:
We know that
The Average number of Customers in waiting = Average rate of Customers Entered × Average time spend by customer for waiting in checkout lines
Average time spend by customer for waiting in checkout lines = Average number of Customers in waiting ÷ Average rate of Customers entered
= 24 ÷ 305
= 0.078689 hours
Now
= 0.078689 × 60
= 4.72 minutes
a. The computation of the time on an average that customer spend in the store is
we know that
Average number of Customers = Average rate of Customers Entered × Average time spend
So, Average time spend = Average number of Customers ÷ Average rate of Customers Entered
= 146 ÷ 305
= 0.478689 Hours
So,
= 0.478689 × 60
= 28.72 minutes
b. The calculation of the time on an average the customer spend waiting is
We know that
The Average number of Customers in waiting = Average rate of Customers Entered × Average time spend by customer for waiting in checkout lines
Average time spend by customer for waiting in checkout lines = Average number of Customers in waiting ÷ Average rate of Customers entered
= 24 ÷ 305
= 0.078689 hours
Now
= 0.078689 × 60
= 4.72 minutes

A local jacket distributor expects to sell 9,000 black fleece jackets in a year. Assume that EOQ model assumptions are valid. Each jacket costs $50, ordering cost is $100 per order, and holding cost is 1 dollar per jacket per month. What is the annual inventory cost (excluding purchasing cost) if 500 jackets are ordered at a time
Answer: $4,800
Explanation:
First find the Annual holding cost:
= Average inventory * Cost of holding a unit
= 500/2 * 1 * 12 months
= $3,000
Then find the Annual ordering cost:
= Expected units to be sold/ Units ordered * Ordering cost
= 9,000/500 * 100
= $1,800
Annual Inventory cost = Annual holding cost + Annual ordering cost
= 3,000 + 1,800
= $4,800
The amounts of voluntary costs and failure costs: A. Tend to move in opposite directions (as one increases the other decreases). B. Tend to move in the same direction (as one increases the other increases). C. Are equal by definition. D. None of these answers are correct.
Answer:
A. Tend to move in opposite directions (as one increases the other decreases)
Explanation:
Voluntary cost is the cost that classified as a prevention & appraisal cost on the other hand the failure cost is the cost that could be internal or external.
The cost i.e. incurred for prevention so there would be less chances so if there is increase in the voluntary cost so there would be reduction in the failure cost and so on
Hence, the option a is correct
Mr. Jernigan owns a piece of land on which he grows corn. Corn production annually requires $ in seed, $ in fertilizer, and $ in pesticides. Mr. Jernigan uses his own labor to grow the corn and therefore hires no workers. If Mr. Jernigan did not use his time to grow corn, he would instead be able to sell insurance, earning $ per year. Suppose another farmer has just offered to pay Mr. Jernigan rent of $ per year for use of the land. If Mr. Jernigan refuses to rent the land to another farmer, then what will be his accounting costs from farming corn himself on his land? What will be his economic costs?
Answer:
$21,000
$55,000
Explanation:
Here is the complete question :
Mr. Jernigan owns a piece of land on which he grows corn. Corn production annually requires $6,000 in seed, $9,000 in fertilizer, and $6,000 in pesticides. Me. Jernigan uses his own labor to grow the corn and therefore hires no workers. If Mr. Jernigan did not use his time to grow corn, he would instead be able to sell insurance, earning $35,000 per year.
Suppose another farmer has just offered to pay Mr Jernigan rent of $20,000 per year for use of this land.
If Mr. Jernigan refuses to rent the land to another farmer, then what will be his accounting costs from farming corn himself on this land? What will be his economic costs?
Accounting cost or explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. Accounting cost is used in calculating accounting profit. They include :
cost of the seed cost of fertilizer cost of pesticidesAccounting cost = $6,000 + $9,000+ $6,000 = $21,000
Economic cost or implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives. Economic costs and accounting cost is used in calculating economic profit. Economic cost include :
amount he would have earned selling issuance amount he would have earned if he rented out the landEconomic cost = $35,000 + $20,000 = $55,000
Peyton sells an office building and the associated land on May 1 of the current year. Under the terms of the sales contract, Peyton is to receive $1,950,800 in cash. The purchaser is to assume Peyton's mortgage of $1,170,480 on the property. To enable the purchaser to obtain adequate financing, Peyton is to pay the $23,410 in points charged by the lender. The broker's commission on the sale is $78,032. What is Peyton's amount realized
Answer: $3,019,838
Explanation:
Peyton will gain the cash from this transaction.
Peyton will also gain the mortgage that is assumed by the buyer because they are being freed from debt.
They will however incur the expense of the broker's commission and the points they have to pay for.
Amount Peyton will recognize:
= Cash received from sale + Peyton mortgage assumed by Buyer - Points Peyton pays for - Broker's commission
= 1,950,800 + 1,170,480 - 23,410 - 78,032
= $3,019,838

Company (Ticker) Coupon Maturity Last Price Last Yield EST Vol (000s) IOU (IOU) 6 Apr 19, 2034 111.44 ?1,851 a. What is the yield to maturity of the bond?
Answer:
YTM = 4%
Explanation:
Company (Ticker) Coupon Maturity Last Price Last Yield EST Vol (000s)
IOU (IOU) 6 Apr 19, 2034 111.44 ? 1,851
Determine the yield to maturity
YTM = Rate * 2
years to maturity = 2034 - 2018 = 16 years
NPER = 2 * 16 = 32
PMT = ( face value * coupon rate ) / 2 = ( 2000 * 6% ) / 2 = 60
price of coupon ( PV ) = 2000 * 111.44% = 2228.8
Rate = 2% ( excel function : RATE(32,60,-2228.8,2000)
hence YTM = 2% * 2 = 4%
You are the leader of a country that has fallen on hard times. Jobs have disappeared, citizens are struggling to get by, and some of your country’s industries have failed. As a leader, how could you display the qualities of visionary leadership in this situation?
Answer:
I could display the qualities of a visionary leader by offering a coherent vision for the future, and a good economic plan.
Explanation:
A visionary leader in such a dire situation would first of all show a guide to the people, would tell them that there is hope, and would explain to them why such hope still exists.
Such leader would also lay out an economic plan that can resolve, at least, some of the economic issues of the country, because it is true that no plan is perfect, and no government policy solves all problems by itself.

Suppose that supply increases in the market for minor oral surgeries, where the surgery can be done in the dentist's office and price elasticity of demand is 4.5. Then suppose that supply increases in the market for major reconstructive oral surgeries that have to be performed by the dentist in a hospital or surgicenter with emergency life-saving equipment on hand, and the price elasticity of demand is 0.60.
In which of these markets will the quantity demanded change the fastest toward a new equilibrium?
Answer:
Quantity demanded would change the fastest in the market for minor surgeries
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
The demand for minor surgeries is elastic while the demand for major surgeries is inelastic.
If supply increases in each of these market, it means that there are more doctors available to perform surgeries. This would lead to a rightward shift of the supply curve. As a result, price would reduce.
Because demand is elastic in the market for minor surgeries, the reduction in price would lead to a greater increase in demand for surgeries
While, in the market for major surgeries, there would be little or no change in the demand
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Quantity demanded would change the fastest in the market for minor surgeries

The Production Budget can be used to determine the number of units that needs to be manufactured in order to meet Sales and Inventory targets as follows :
Production Budget for Next Year
Sales 510,000
Add Closing Finished Goods Inventory 60,000
Total 570,000
Less Opening Finished Goods Inventory (70,000)
Budgeted Production 500,000
Therefore,
The number of units it would have to manufacture during the year would be 500,000
You are considering two different methods for constructing a new warehouse site. The first method would use prefabricated building segments, would have an initial cost of $6.5 million, would have annual maintenance costs of $150,000, and would last for 25 years. The second alternative would employ a new carbon-fibre panel technology, would have an initial cost of $8.2 million, would have maintenance costs of $650,000 every ten years, and is expected to last 40 years. Both buildings would be in CCA Class 1 (at a rate of 4 percent) and it is expected that each would have a salvage value equivalent to 25 percent of its construction cost at the end of its useful life. The discount rate the firm uses in evaluating projects is 11 percent. The tax rate is 35 percent. What is the annual cost for each option? (Enter the answers in dollars. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answers to 2 decimal places. Negative answers should be indicated by a minus sign.)

On June 1, 2016, Skylark Enterprises, a calendar year LLC reporting as a sole proprietorship, acquired a retail store building for $500,000 (with $100,000 being allocated to the land). The store building was 39-year real property, and the straight-line cost recovery method was used. The property was sold on June 21, 2020, for $385,000.
The cost recovery is $__________, and the adjusted basis for the building is $_________
Answer:
Skylark Enterprises
The cost recovery is $___41,024___, and the adjusted basis for the building is $__358,976___
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of retail store acquired = $500,000
Property acquisition date = June 1, 2016
Property disposal date = June 21, 2020
Length of use of property before disposal = 4 years and 21 days
Cost allocated to Land = $100,000
Cost allocated to Building = $400,000
Annual Depreciation expense = $10,256 ($400,000/39)
Cost recovery after 4 years = $41,024 ($10,256 * 4)
Adjusted basis for the building = $358,976 ($400,000 - $41,024)
b) The adjusted basis for the building is the cost of the building minus its accumulated depreciation for the number of years it has been in use.
Answer:
a) Compute the cost recovery and adjusted basis for the building.
Total cost recovery is $41,032, and the adjusted basis for the building is $358,968.
b) What are the amount and nature of Skylark's gain or loss from disposition of the property? What amount, if any, of the gain is unrecaptured § 1250 gain?
There is $73,968 of recognized loss on the sale of the property, of which none is subject to § 1250 recapture.
Explanation:
a) Take the building basis of $400,000 times the applicable MACRS percentage from table 8.8 in the Cengage text for each year.
2016: $400,000 x 0.01391 = $5,564
2017: $400,000 x 0.02564 = $10,256
2018: $400,000 x 0.02564 = $10,256
2019: $400,000 x 0.02564 = $10,256
2020: $400,000 x (0.02564*(5.5/12 months)) = $4,701
Total Cost Recovery = $41,032 (I had to round down to get it correct)
Then, take the basis minus the total cost recovery to get the adjusted basis.
$400,000 - $41,032 = $358,967 (This one needed to be rounded up...)
b) The loss on the sale is computed by taking the sales price minus the adjusted basis (plus the cost of the land).
$385,000 - ($358,967 + $100,000) = $73,968 (This one also needed to be rounded up...)
There is no 1250 recapture because:
1. The property was depreciated with straight-line, which is not eligible for recapture, and
2. because the property was sold at a loss.
Hopefully this helps! Good luck!!

Bovine Corporation has two divisions: televisions and mobile phones. The mobile phone division has a contribution margin of $600,000. The company's common fixed costs and total traceable fixed costs are $100,000 and $500,000 respectively. Assuming the traceable fixed costs of the television division are $300,000, what is the segment margin of the mobile phone division
Answer:
Segment margin= $300,000
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Mobile phone:
Contribution margin= $600,000
Traceable fixed cost= $100,000
Common fixed costs= $500,000
First, we need to calculate the traceable fixed cost to mobile phone:
Traceable fixed cost= 500,000 - 300,000= $200,000
Now, the segment margin of mobile phone:
Segment margin= 600,000 - 100,000 - 200,000
Segment margin= $300,000
Ulko produces tomato paste at five different plants. The tomato paste is then shipped to one of three warehouses, where it is stored until it is shipped to one of the company’s four customers. The shell gives the plant capacities, the cost per ton of producing tomato paste at each plant and shipping it to each warehouse, the cost of shipping a ton of paste from each warehouse to each customer, customer demand, and the annual fixed cost of operating each plant and warehouse. Ulko’s management must decide which plants and warehouses to open, how to route paste from plants to warehouses and from warehouses to customers. All customer demand must be met. A given customer’s demand can be met from more than one warehouse, and a given plant can ship to more than one warehouse. Warehouses are trans-shipment points, anything shipped into a warehouse must be shipped out. Formulate a linear model and find the minimum cost solution for meeting customer demand.

Sophia purchased a variable annuity contract with a purchase payment of $70,000. Surrender charges begin with 9 percent in the first year and decline by 1 percent each year. In addition, Sophia can withdraw 12 percent of her contract value each year without paying surrender charges. In the first year, Sophia needed to withdraw $13,700. Assume that the contract value had not increased or decreased because of investment performance. What was the surrender charge Sophia had to pay
Answer:
$477
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the surrender charge Sophia had to pay
Using this formula
Surrender charge = [Withdraw all amount - (Free withdraw all % x Account value)] x Surrender charge
Let plug in the formula
Surrender charge= [$13,700 - (0.12 x $70,000)] x 0.09
Surrender charge= ($13,700-$8,400)×0.09
Surrender charge=$5,300×0.09
Surrender charge=$477
Therefore the surrender charge Sophia had to pay is $477
Concept manufactures small tables in its Processing Department. Direct materials are added at the initiation of the production cycle and must be bundled in single kits for each unit. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the production cycle. Before inspection, some units are spoiled due to undetectable materials defects. Inspection occurs when units are completed. Spoiled units generally constitute 3% of the good units. Data for December 2017 are as follows: WIP, beginning inventory 12/1/2017 17,600 units Direct materials (100% complete) Conversion costs (20% complete) Started during December 60,900 units Completed and transferred out 12/31/2017 58,200 units WIP, ending inventory 12/31/2017 18,000 units Direct materials (100% complete) Conversion costs (80% complete) Costs for December: WIP, beginning Inventory: Direct materials $183,600 Conversion costs 92,500 Direct materials added 269,280 Conversion costs added 352,800 Abnormal spoilage totals ________.
Answer:
554 units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the Abnormal spoilage totals
Abnormal spoilage totals=[(17,600+ 60,900) - ( 58,200+18,000)]-3% x 58,200
Abnormal spoilage totals=[(78,500-76,200)-1,746]
Abnormal spoilage totals=2,300-1,746
Abnormal spoilage totals= 554 units
Therefore the Abnormal spoilage totals is 554 units
Stagflation is when there is a BLANK shock that causes high levels of both inflation and unemployment.
Fill in the BLANK:
employment
low
demand
supply
Answer:Supply
Explanation:
Stagflation is described as a situation in which an economy has both an increase in inflation and a stagnation in economic production. Stagflation was first recognized in the 1970s when an oil shock produced fast inflation and high unemployment in many developed economies.
So, Option D is correct as Due to a combination of rising prices and decreased output, a supply shock can generate stagflation.
The other options are incorrect as:
Option A is incorrect as employment shock is not what causes a high level of inflation and unemployment.
Option B is incorrect as a High level of inflation and unemployment is not caused by Low shock.
Option C is incorrect as A demand shock is a sudden, unanticipated incident that briefly raises or diminishes sales volume or service.
Thus Option D is the correct shock that causes high inflation and unemployment.

If, at the present output level, marginal revenue is $50 and marginal cost is $35, the purely competitive firm Group of answer choices should increase output to maximize its profit or minimize its loss. should reduce output to maximize its profit or minimize its loss. should increase its price to maximize its profit or minimize its loss. should stay at its current output to maximize its profit or minimize its loss.
Answer: should reduce output to maximize its profit or minimize its loss
Explanation:
Since we are given the information that at the present output level, the marginal revenue is $50 and the marginal cost is $35, this implies that the marginal revenue is more than the marginal cost, which simply means that there'll be a positive marginal profit.
In such scenario, therefore, the purely competitive firm should reduce output to maximize its profit or minimize its loss.
