How do those who study workplace ergonomics help decrease workplace injury?.

1 answer:

7 0

Workplace injuries are used to prevent musculoskeletal problems at work. Ergonomics aids in the prevention of workplace injuries such as occupational diseases, accidents, mental stress, and major strains.

What is Ergonomics?

"Law of Work" is the most basic definition of ergonomics. Ergonomics is defined as the link between individuals and their workplace environment, with a focus on the workers' physical capabilities and comfort.

Workplace environment is healthy; employees should not be physically forced to perform duties; 8 hours of work per day is sufficient; otherwise, employees may experience mental stress as well as major workplace strains or injuries.

As a result, if workers are exposed to these known risk factors for MSDs, they are more likely to be injured at work.

Answer:

Horatio Alger

1. The unit contribution for Brand X is = $0.79

2. Brand X's break-even point (in units) = 1,816,456 (in sales dollars) = $1,816,456

3. The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 9.1%

4. Brand X's profit impact is 48.9% or $2,347,000

a. If the advertising budget is raised, units that Brand X have to sell to break-even is:

= 2,449,367 units

b. The units that Brand X have to sell in order for it to achieve the same profit impact that it did this year is:

= 5,865,886 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 25.5% next year for its profit impact to be the same as this year.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 16.2% for it to have a $1 million profit impact.

5. a. Break-even sales units = 2,474,138 units

b. Break-even sales units = 6,520,690 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 32.6% for its profit impact to remain at this year's level.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 15.4% to generate a profit impact of $350,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Retail price of Brand X = $1.00

Units sold = 24% of 20 million = 4,800,000 units

Total sales revenue = $1.00 $4,800,000

Variable costs:

Manufacturing $0.09

Selling commision (10% of $1) $0.10

Other selling expense $0.02

Total variable costs per unit $0.21 $1,008,000

Contribution margin per unit $0.79 $3,782,000

Fixed costs:

Manufacturing $900,000

Advertising 500,000

Brand X manager's salary 35,000 $1,435,000

Net income = $2,347,000

Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit = $1,435,000/$0.79 = 1,816,456 units

The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 1,816,456/20,000,000

= 9.1%

Brand X's profit impact = 48.9% ($2,347,000/$4,800,000 * 100)

With increase in advertising budget to $1 million next year,

a. Units to break-even = $1,935,000/$0.79 = 2,449,367 units

b. Units to achieve same profit impact:

Sales increased by 15% (3/20 * 100)

Net income will increase to = $2,699,050 ($2,347,000 * 1.15) to make the same impact

Therefore, the units to achieve same profit impact = ($1,935,000 + $2,699,050)/$0.79

= $4,634,050/$0.79

= 5,865,886 units

Market share next year = 25.5% (5,865,886/23,000,000)

Market share to achieve $1 million profit impact

= (FC + Profit target)/$0.79

= $1,935,000 + $1,000,000)/$0.79

= $2,935,000/$0.79

= $3,715,190

= $3,715,190/$23,000,000 * 100 = 16.2%

Fixed costs = $1,435,000

Retailer's margin raise = 40% from 33%, a 21.2% increase or decrease in price

Therefore, the new selling price = $1.00 * (1 - 0.212) = $0.79

Variable cost = $0.21

Contribution margin = $0.58

To break-even, FC/Contribution margin per unit

= $1,435,000/$0.58

= 2,474,138 units

Break-even units to achieve profit of $2,347,000 = ($1,435,000 + $2,347,000)/$0.58

= 6,520,690 units

Sales = $5,151,345 (6,520,690 * $0.79)

Market sales revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

= $5,151,345/$15,800,000 * 100

= 32.6%

Market impact of $350,000

Break-even units ($1,435,000 + $350,000)/$0.58

= 3,077,586 units

Sales revenue = $2,431,293 (3,077,586 * $0.79)

Market revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

Market share = $2,431,293/$15,800,000 * 100

= 15.4%

A Treasury bill with 119 days to maturity is quoted at 97.630. What are the bank discount yield, the bond equivalent yield, and

Dovator [93]

Answer:

discount yield=7.17%

bond equivalent yield=7.34%

effective annual yield =7.64%

Explanation:

Discount yield =discount /face value*360/t

where t is the number of days to maturity

discount =face value -issue price

discount=100-97.63

discount=2.37

discount yield =2.37/100*360/119

discount yield=7.17%

bond equivalent yield=(1+periodic yield)^360/t-1

periodic yield =discount/face value=2.37/100=2.37%

bond equivalent yield =(1+2.37%)^(360/119)-1

bond equivalent yield=7.34%

effective annual yield=(1+HPY)^365/t-1

Holding period yield (HPY)=discount/price=2.37/97.63

HPY=2.43%

effective annual yield=(1+2.43%)^(365/119)-1

effective annual yield =7.64%

Factory X manufactures steam cleaners for engines and has a high level of sales variability. The units sell for $3,200 each but

Scilla [17]

Answer:

a. Some examples of fixed costs are; Insurance, utility charges, and Rent.

b. Variable cost=$1,280

c. Fixed costs=$1,000,000

d. Break-even level of units=521 units

e. Break-even level of sales=$1,667,200

Explanation:

Fixed costs are the expenses that do not change with the level of output, while the variable costs depend on the amount of output produced. The fixed costs typically stay the same with the production levels. The variable costs on the other hand change as the production changes.

Some examples of fixed costs in a typical manufacturing plant are;

1. Insurance

2. Utility charges

3. Rent

4. Property taxes

The variable costs are the Material and labor costs, since a higher or a lower level of output will affect the quantity of materials and labor needed. Thus their costs change with the output.

Variable cost=material cost+labor costs=$1,280

The fixed costs=$1,000,000 since they don't vary with the sales. Sales is a direct function of the output.

d. The break even point is the point at which the Revenue from sales equal the costs. This can be expressed as;

Revenue=price per unit×number of units sold

where;

price per unit=$3,200

number of units sold=n

replacing;

Revenue=3,200×n=3,200 n

Total cost=fixed cost+(cost per unit×number of units)

fixed cost=$1,000,000

cost per unit=$1,280

number of units=n

replacing;

Total costs=1,000,000+(1,280×n)=1,280 n+1,000,000

Since at break-even point, revenue equals cost;

3,200 n=1,280 n+1,000,000

3,200 n-1,280 n=1,000,000

1,920 n=1,000,000

n=1,000,000/1,920

n=520.83

n=521

Number of units is approximately 521 at break-even

Break-even level of units=521 units

Break-even sales=price per unit×break-even level of units

where;

price per unit=$3,200

break-even level of units=521 units

replacing;

Break-even level of sales=3,200×521=$1,667,200
