All leveling techniques delay by noncritical activities to reduce peak demand is known as resource smoothing.

If resources are sufficient but the demand differs extensively over the journey of the project, it may be sensible to smash resource demand by delaying noncritical activities to lessen peak demand and, in this way increase resource fulfillment. This process is called resource smoothing.

Resource smoothing is one of the project management devices used in the resource development techniques. It is interpreted as a technique that alters the activities of a scheme model so that all necessity for the resources do not excel the resource limits which is already pre-interpreted while planning. It is used when the time limitations takes important place in project planning.

On January 30, 2014, your parents lent you $400. On January 30, 2015, you repaid the loan by writing your parents a check for $4

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The annual interest rate charged would be 8%

Explanation:

The annual interest rate which is charged by the parents for the loan is computed as:

Interest rate = (Amount repaid for loan - Lent amount by parents) /Lent amount by parents × 100

where

Lent amount by parents is $400

Amount repaid for loan is $432

Putting the values above:

Interest rate = ($432 - $400) / $400 × 100

Interest rate = $32/ $400 × 100

Interest rate = 0.08 × 100

Interest rate = 8%

In the long run the most important factor that shifts the aggregate supply curve is?

Eddi Din [679]

In the long run, the most important factor shifting the SRAS curve is productivity growth.

<h3>What do you mean by productivity growth?</h3>

Productivity—in economic terms—is how much output can be produced with a given quantity of labor. One measure of this is output per worker, or GDP per capita.

Since 1947, the U.S. corporate sector has been able to create nine times more goods and services with only a little increase in labor hours thanks to productivity gains. An economy may create and consume more goods and services for the same amount of effort when productivity is growing.

Productivity is a way of thinking and a condition of being. Being effective entails acting in every situation as we actively choose to and not as we feel pressured to by external factors. Being productive requires adopting a mindset of constant development.

High Flying takes tourists on helicopter tours of Hawaii. Each tourist buys a $190 ticket; the variable costs average $57 per pe

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a. 450 tours per month

b. $850 per month

c. CM Ratio = 0.7

1. Increase

2. Decrease

3. No Effect

Explanation:

The questions are:

a. Compute the average number of tours the company must conduct per month to break even

b. Compute the average sales revenue needed per month to produce a target average profit of $53,200

c. Calculate the contribution margin ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

d. Determine whether the actions that follow will increase, decrease, or not affect the company's break-even point.

1. A decrease in tour prices.

2. The termination of a salaried clerk (no replacement is planned).

3. A decrease in the number of tours sold.

Solution:

Selling Price = 190

VC = 57

Unit Contribution Margin = $133

Fixed Cost = 718,200 yearly, so monthly is:

718,200/12 = 59,850

Break even occurs when by selling tours they will cover monthly fixed cost of 59,850 [each tour will get 133], thus:

59,850/133 = 450 tours per month

718,200 FC yearly, means, monthly:

718,200/12 = $59,850

Profit needed 53,200, so we would need to cover:

53200+59850 = $113,050

Each tour gives Unit CM to be $133, so we would need revenue of:

Rev = 113,050/133 = $850

Contribution margin ratio is the quotient of difference in sales and var expenses to sales.

So,

CM Ratio = (Sales - Var Exp) / Sales

CM Ratio = (190 - 57) / 190 = 0.7

If the tour prices, decrease, there will be less revenue coming in so the break even point would go higher.

So, break even point will increase

If a salaried clerk is terminated, it will decrease the salary costs of the company. This is decrease the fixed costs of the company (annual wages and salaries), thus it will be easier to cover the new, lower, fixed costs. Thus, the break even point will decrease

A decrease in number of tours sold would proportionally change the variables and other costs and revenues associated. If you look at the calculation above, you will see that "number of tours" won't affect the Break Even Point. Thus, this action will create "no effect".
