5. If the company desires that output rate equal demand, what is the last task performed at the second workstation in the balance which uses the minimum number of workstations?
A. u
B. v
C. w
D. x
E. y
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
1. Without regard to demand, what is the minimum possible cycle time (in seconds) for this situation?
The minimum cycle time is equal to the maximum task time. From the data in the question, it can be seen that the maximum task time is 54. Therefore, the correct option is C. 54. That is, the minimum possible cycle time (in seconds) for this situation is 54.
2. If the company desires that output rate equal demand, what is the desired cycle time (in seconds)?
Desired cycle time (in seconds) = Demand rate / Number of hours per days = 480 / 8 = 60
Therefore, the correct option is E. 60.
3. If the company desires that output rate equal demand, what is the minimum number of workstations needed?
Total task time = 30 + 30 + 6 + 12 + 54 + 30 = 162
Minimum possible cycle time = 54
Therefore, we have:
Minimum number of workstations needed = Total task time / Minimum possible cycle time = 162 / 54 = 3
Therefore, the correct option is A. 3.
4. If the company desires that output rate equal demand, what would be the efficiency of this line with the minimum number of workstations?
Line efficiency = Total task time / (Minimum number of workstations needed * Desired cycle time) = 162 / (3 * 60) = 162 / 180 = 0.90, or 90%
Therefore, the correct option is E. 90%.
5. If the company desires that output rate equal demand, what is the last task performed at the second workstation in the balance which uses the minimum number of workstations?
The last task should be the one has the longest task time. From the data table in the question, it can be observed that y is the task that has the longest task time. This implies y is the task to perform last.
Therefore, the correct option is E. y.
A trust has been established to fund scholarships in perpetuity. The next annual distribution will be $1,200, and future payments will increase by 3 percent per year. What is the value of this trust at a discount rate of 7.4 percent
Answer:
PV= $27,272.73
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual distribution (Cf)= $1,200
Interest rate (i)= 7.4% = 0.074
Growth rate (g)= 3% = 0.03
To calculate the present value (PV) of the fund, we need to use the following formula:
PV= Cf / (i - g)
PV= 1,200 / (0.074 - 0.03)
PV= $27,272.73

Sorry I can't understand.....
Flack Corporation, a merchandiser, provides the following information for its December budgeting process: The November 30 inventory was 1,800 units. Budgeted sales for December are 4,000 units. Desired December 31 inventory is 2,840 units. Budgeted purchases are: Multiple Choice 5,800 units. 6,840 units. 4,000 units. 5,040 units. 1,240 units.
Answer: 5,040 units
Explanation:
Budgeted purchases are the purchases that the company needs to make in order to be able to sell its budgeted sales for the month and still have the desired ending inventory they want.
Budgeted purchases can be calculated by the formula:
= Budgeted sales + Desired Ending inventory - Opening inventory
= 4,000 + 2,840 - 1,800
= 6,840 - 1,800
= 5,040 units
Ellie purchases an insurance policy on her life and names her brother, Jason, as the beneficiary. Ellie pays $41,000 in premiums for the policy during her life. When she dies, Jason collects the insurance proceeds of $615,000.
As a result, Jason reports gross income of:______.
Answer: $0
Explanation:
Life insurance proceeds are generally considered to be tax exempt in order to ease the burden on the bereaved which means that Jason does not have to report any gross income from receiving this insurance proceeds.
If Jason does not collect all the proceeds at once however, and leaves some or all of it with the insurance company to accumulate interest, he will have to pay taxes on that interest.

Pop owns 87% of the common stock of Sugar. On December 31, 2017, Pop's Receivables include $296,880 that Pop advanced to Sugar. What portion (stated in dollars) of the intercompany receivable should be eliminated in preparing Pop's consolidated financial statements
Answer: $296,880
Explanation:
Pop owns more than 50% of Sugar which means that Sugar is a subsidiary of Pop's. When this happens, trade between the two are not shown in the consolidated financial statement unless the goods traded have been sold off to a third party.
As these goods have not, and are still considered accounts receivable to Sugar, the entire amount will be removed from the consolidated financial statements.

Midsouth Stitchery wants to improve their productivity. Their process yield is currently 91.56% based on 9816 yards of material. If they are going to improve their productivity to 92.10, how many yards of finished material will they have to produce from the same amount of material input
Answer:
9,040.54 yards
Explanation:
Input material amount I = 9,816 yards
Productivity P = 92.10%
Let Output Material amount be O
O = I * P
O = 9,816 yards * 0.9210
O = 9040.536
O = 9040.54 yards
So, the unit of yards they will have to produce from the same amount of material input is 9,040.54 yards

The manufacturing cost of Calico Industries for three months of the year are provided below. Total Cost Production (units) April $119,400 281,300 May 92,000 162,800 June 99,000 238,000 Using the high-low method, the variable cost per unit and the total fixed costs are a.$0.41 per unit and $27,351 b.$4.14 per unit and $5,470 c.$2.30 per unit and $5,470 d.$0.23 per unit and $54,701
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total Cost Production (units)
April $119,400 281,300
May 92,000 162,800
June 99,000 238,000
To calculate the variable cost per unit and the total fixed cost, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (119,400 - 92,000) / (281,300 - 162,800)
Variable cost per unit= $0.231
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 119,400 - (0.231*281,300)
Fixed costs= $54,701

Consumers have broad but somewhat vague stereotypes about specific countries and specific product categories that they judge "best." Which item would most likely not fit in the "best" stereotype scheme?
Answer:
American chocolate
Explanation:
In the field of psychology, a 'stereotype' is defined as a general belief about a certain type or category of people.
The consumers around the world have some different stereotypes about some specific countries and some specific products that they judged to be the 'best'. Such an item which does not fit best in the stereotype scheme is 'American chocolate.'
The American chocolate have a different taste than others. It is tangy and is slightly sour. It is lighter. So some people have a different perception or stereotype for this item.
Thus the answer is 'American chocolate.'
You are considering buying bonds in ACBB, Inc. The bonds have a par value of $1,000 and mature in 35 years. The annual coupon rate is 20.0% and the coupon payments are annual. If you believe that the appropriate discount rate for the bonds is 17.0%, what is the value of the bonds to you
Answer:
Bond Price= $121.27
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Face value= $1,000
Coupon= 0.2*1,000= $20
Maturity= 35 years
Discount rate= 17%
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 20*{[1 - (1.17^-35)] / 0.17} + [1,000/(1.17^35)]
Bond Price= 117.16 + 4.11
Bond Price= $121.27

This tax would be classified as
Answer: Regressive tax
Explanation:
Regressive tax refers to a tax regime where the tax rate reduces as the level of income increases.
In the above scenario, the income tax rates are:
$20,000 income = 2,000 / 20,000 = 10%
$30,000 income = 2,500 / 30,000 = 8.3%
$8,000 income = 4,000 / 80,000 = 5%
Notice how the tax rates reduced as the income earned went up. This is why this is a regressive tax regime.

Sheridan Company just began business and made the following four inventory purchases in June: June 1 144 units $ 952 June 10 184 units 1472 June 15 184 units 1564 June 28 144 units 1296 $ 5284 A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 194 units on hand. Using the FIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to ending inventory for June is
Answer:
$210,688
Explanation:
The LIFO method of accounting for inventory involves issuing the last items purchased first and those purchased first are issued last hence the acronym LIFO which means last in first out
Given that June 1 144 units $ 952 June 10 184 units 1472 June 15 184 units 1564 June 28 144 units 1296 $ 5284 A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 194 units on hand
Total number purchased during the month
= 144 + 184 + 184 + 144
= 656 units
Using the last in first out method, the 194 units left at the end would be made up of the 144 units purchased on June 1 and 50 units purchased on 10 June hence the amount allocated to ending inventory for June is
= 144 * $952 + 50 * $1472
= $210,688
A friend wants to borrow money from you. He states that he will pay you $4,700 every 6 months for 9 years with the first payment exactly 2 years and six months from today. The interest rate is an APR of 5.8 percent with semiannual compounding. What is the value of the payments today
Answer:
PV= $56,508.47
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Semmiannual payment= $4,700
Number of periods (n)= 9*2= 18 semesters
Interest rate= 0.058/2= 0.029
First, we need to calculate the value of the payments at the moment of the first payment:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
A= Semmiannual payment
PV= 4,700*{(1/0.029) - 1/[0.029*(1.029^18)]}
PV= $65,191.42
Now, the present value using the following formula:
PV= FV / (1 +i)^n
n= 2.5*2= 5 semesters
PV= 65,191.42 / (1.029^5)
PV= $56,508.47

Answer:
Berkeley Corporation
No. I do not agree with the owner of Berkeley Corporation.
Vehicles or automobiles are section 1245 property and not section 1231.
Explanation:
The IRS regards Section 1231 properties to include buildings, machinery, land, timber, and other natural resources, unharvested crops, cattle, livestock, and leaseholds that are held in a business or trade for at least one year. They are used in trade and not for sale. On the other hand, Section 1245 properties include all depreciable or amortizable tangible personal property, such as furniture, automobiles, and equipment, or other intangible personal property, such as a patent or license.
Based on the information given, it's not section 1231. Therefore, I do not agree with the owner of Berkeley Corporation.
Section 1231 simply means a term that is used to describe a property relating to the United States Internal Revenue Code. Vehicles or automobiles are section 1245 property and not section 1231.
The Internal Revenue Service regards Section 1231 properties like buildings, machinery, land, timber, and other natural resources, unharvested crops, cattle, livestock, etc. Section 1245 represents properties that are depreciable like furniture, automobiles, equipment, etc.
