Answer:
A good use of free cash flow is to Invest in nonoperating assets
Explanation:
Free cash flow (FCF) is a measure of how much cash a business generates after accounting for capital expenditures such as buildings or equipment. This cash can be used for expansion, dividends, reducing debt, or other purposes.
If the underlying objective is to maximize shareholder wealth by increasing the firm’s value. Any use of FCF that negatively affects the firm’s value is not considered a good use of the FCF.
A good use of FCF would be to invest in nonoperating assets such as marketable securities, investments in other companies, etc.)
Answer:
Budgeted overhead= $283,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production:
October= 192,000
variable overhead is applied at a rate of $0.70 per unit of production.
Fixed overhead equals $149,000 per month.
To calculate the budgeted overhead, we need to determine the total variable overhead for the month:
Budgeted overhead= fixed overhead + total variable overhead
Budgeted overhead= 149,000 + 0.7*192,000
Budgeted overhead= $283,400
Total cost = $3 / gallon (150 miles / (25 miles/gallon)) =<span> $18</span>
Answer:
Discourage Torri from continuing. Encourage Julie to continue.
Explanation:
The progress of all trainees is tracked. Those not showing good progress are moved to less demanding programs. This means that there is hope of still doing/getting a job, if they don't pass this test.
REQUIREMENT: By the 10th time doing the test, trainees must be able to complete the task in a maximum of 1 hour.
1st Trainee: Torri Olson-Alves
5 hours on Unit 4; 4 hours on Unit 8
Should Torri be encouraged to continue? NO.
There are 10 units or repetitions in all. If Torri spends 5 hours on Unit 4 and spends 4 hours on Unit 8, then Torri is slow or isn't making much progress. After 4 repetitions, her marginal product only increased by an hour. She most likely won't make it to 1 hour by the 10th repetition.
2nd Trainee: Julie Burgmeier
4 hours on Unit 3; 3 hours on Unit 6
Should Julie be encouraged to continue? YES.
Julie makes a progress of 1 hour after 3 repetitions. We can predict that after another 3 repetitions (on Unit 9) progress would be made again and by Unit 10, she would have met the required benchmark.
