Answer:

Explanation:
The rate of production is determined by the slowest step or process.
Determine the rate of production of each step.
<em>1. The Cutting department has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 2 minutes per unit. </em>
- rate = number of machines × rate of each machince
- rate = 6 × 1 unit / 2 minute = 3 units / minute
<em>2. Drilling has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 3 minutes per unit. </em>
- rate = number of machines × rate of each machince
- rate = 6 × 1 unit / 3 minute = 2 units / minute
<em />
<em>3. Stamping has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 4 minutes per unit. </em>
- rate = number of machines × rate of each machince
- rate = 6 × 1 unit / 4 minute = 1.5 units / minute
<em />
<em>4. Welding has 4 machines that each process materials at a rate of 2 minutes per unit. </em>
- rate = number of machines × rate of each machince
- rate = 4 × 1 unit / 2 minute = 2 units / minute
<em>5. Painting has 2 machines that each process materials at a rate of 4 minutes per unit. </em>
- rate = number of machines × rate of each machince
- rate = 2 × 1 unit / 4 minute = 0.5 units / minute
Then, the fifth process, painting is the slowest process because it only can process 0.5 units per minute. This is the bottleneck. Even if the other processes worked faster, the production could not exceed the number of machines that can be painted per hour.
To find how many units can be painted or produced by hour multiply the rate by the number of minutes in one hour:
- 0.5 units/min × 60 min/hour = 30 units / hour.
Therefore, the capacity of the entire five-step process is 30 units per hour.
Answer:
Total return = 14.94%
Explanation:
Options are <em>"14.17%
, 13.40%
, 14.94%, 11.43%, 3.50%"</em>
End price = $59.46
Beginning price = $53.36
Dividend = $1.87
Total return = (End price - Beginning price + Dividends) / Beginning price
Total return = ($59.46 - $53.36 + $1.87) / $53.36
Total return = $7.97 / $53.36
Total return = 0.1493628185907046
Total return = 14.94%
Answer:
10%
25.14 years
Explanation:
A financial calculator can be used to solve these problems
PMT = $-1,100
PV = $5,355.26
FV = 0
N = 7
Compute I = 10%
PMT = $-25,000
FV = $1,387,311
I = 6%
PV = 0
Compute N = 25.14 years
Answer: 18,000
Explanation:
Liability policy:


= 2,000
Insurance expense 2018:
= No. of months from 1 Jan 2018 to 31 Dec 2018 × Insurance expense per month
= 12 × 2,000
= 24,000
Prepaid insurance balance for liability policy on 31 Dec, 2018:
= Prepaid Insurance for liability policy - Insurance expense 2018
= 36,000 - 24,000
= 12,000
Crop damage policy:


= 500
Insurance expense 2018:
= No. of months from 1 Jan 2018 to 31 Dec 2018 × Insurance expense per month
= 12 × 500
= 6,000
Prepaid insurance balance for crop damage policy on 31 Dec, 2018:
= Prepaid Insurance for crop damage policy - Insurance expense 2018
= 12,000 - 6,000
= 6,000
Therefore,
Total prepaid insurance balance on 31 Dec 2018:
= Prepaid insurance balance for liability policy on 31 Dec, 2018 + Prepaid insurance balance for crop damage policy on 31 Dec, 2018
= 12,000 + 6,000
= 18,000
