Cube utilization is the calculation which determines the total space used in storage.

Cube utilization is expressed as a percentage between 0% - poor and 100% - excellent, accordingly. So if you have filled every available spot in your warehouse with product, then you have 100 percent warehouse cube utilization.

Cube utilization is related to benefit reducing transportation costs, as effective cube utilization significantly lowers freight and supply chain costs. Cubing and weighing equipment helps companies make better use of their warehouse space, cut shipping costs and reduce errors.

Hence, in order to improve cube utilization, products should be shipped in bulk form to avoid packaging.

Hubert lives in San Francisco and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $842,000 from selling boats.
aev [14]

Answer:

Explicit costs are normal costs of operating a business.

Implicit costs are opportunity costs meaning that they are the benefits foregone by engaging in a certain course of action.

The wholesale cost for the pianos that Hubert pays the manufacturer ⇒ EXPLICIT COST.

The salary Hubert could earn if he worked as an accountant ⇒ IMPLICIT COST.

The wages and utility bills that Hubert pays ⇒ EXPLICIT COST

The rental income Hubert could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom. ⇒ IMPLICIT COSTS

Accounting Profit = Revenue - Explicit costs

= 842,000 - 452,000 - 301,000

= $89,000

Economic Profit = Revenue - Explicit costs - Implicit costs

= 842,000 - 452,000 - 301,000 - 38,000 - 48,000

= $3,000

If Hubert's goal is to maximize his economic profit, he <u>should</u> stay in the piano business because the economic profit he would earn as an accountant would be -$3,000.

<em>Economic profit as accountant = Salary + rental income - accounting profit from piano</em>

<em>= 48,000 + 38,000 - 89,000</em>

<em>= -$3,000</em>

An employee earns $5,550 per month working for an employer. The FICA tax rate for Social Security is 6.2% of the first $128,400
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

$4,713.425

Explanation:

The computation of amount of net pay for the employee for the month of January is shown below:-

Deductions = (Gross earning × Social security tax rate) + (Gross earning × Medicare tax rate) + Federal income taxes + Health insurance + Contribution of retirement plan

=  ($5,550 × 6.2%) + ($5,550 × 1.45%) + $184 + $152 + $76

= $344.1 + $80.475 + $184 + $152 + $76

= $836.575

Net pay = Gross earning - Deductions

= $5,550 -  $836.575

= $4,713.425

Therefore for computing the net pay we simply applied the above formula.
