Paul, a manager at a logistics company. Wants to have Emma, a temporary worker, handle customers’ queries. Paul’s colleague. Ali

Answer:

5. Emma may not be as dedicated to the firm as other permanent employees

Explanation:

Logistics as a business activity is concerned with efficient movement of goods with least pilferage and spoilage and at the same time, as promptly as possible.

Handling customer queries requires utmost politeness, patience and humility and such a function is very sensitive since a small error or wrong attitude can drastically affect customer preferences and business sales.

In the given case, Ali's argument can only be strengthened by the fact that Emma is a temporary employee and it cannot be expected of her to discharge her duties with the same dedication as a permanent employee would.

Temporary employees know their term of employment beyond which they most likely seek job elsewhere. Whereas, a permanent employee would usually be more dedicated since he would have better sense of belongingness with the company.

Jessica bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Before finance charges, the laptop cost $250 less than the desktop. She

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Let desktop cost = x

Let laptop cost = x - 250

According to equation:

(x*7)/100 + (x-250)*8/100 = 325

7x + 8x - 2000 = 32500

15x = 32500+2000

15x = 34500

x = 2300

Desktop cost before finance charge = $2,300

Laptop cost before finance charge = $2,050 ($2,300-$250)

Anthony Roofing's budgeted manufacturing costs for 50,000 squares of shingles are: Fixed manufacturing costs $30,000 Variable ma

liberstina [14]

Answer:

Total budgeted manufacturing cost = $824,000

Explanation:

The total budgeted manufacturing cost is the sum of the variable and fixed manufacturing cost

The fixed manufacturing cost of $30,000 would be absorbed (i.e charged to the units produced using overhead absorption rate (OAR).

OAR = Budgeted fixed manufacturing cost / Budgeted production squares

= $30,000 / 50,000 squares = $0.6 per square

Absorbed fixed manufacturing cost= OAR × actual production of squares

Absorbed fixed manufacturing cost= $0.6 × 40,000 = $24,000

Variable manufacturing cost = $20.00 × 40,000 =800,000

Total budgeted manufacturing cost = $24,000 + $800,000 = $824,000

Total budgeted manufacturing cost = $824,000
