Answer:
The exchange rate implies in exchange rate of $1.75 but current market exchange rate is $1.80 which means that the dollar is undervalued and pound is over valued in the market.
We will buy Dollar in the market and use these dollars to buy gold and then sell this gold in Euros
E.G Buy a $1000 from the market for £555(10,000*1/1.8)
After that we can by 28.5(1000/35) ounces of gold from that and sell the gold for £571(20*28.5). This way we make a profit of £16 (571-555) without taking any risk.
Explanation:
Answer:
The increase in operating profit is $1,829.00.
Explanation:
The rise or fall in the operating income:
= Purchase unit × ( offer price- direct material- direct labor- variable overhead)
The rise or fall in the operating income: = 1550× (2 - 0.26 - 0.4 - 0.16)
The rise or fall in the operating income: = $1829
Therefore the profit will increase by $1829
Here all the fixed cost is not considered because it is a sunk cost and variable and administrative expenses are also not considered because these costs are not going to be incurred for offer.
Answer:
The capacity of the lathe department is 3200 parts/week. The workers capacity is the bottleneck.
Explanation:
In this case we have to compare the machine capacity and the worker capacity, and detecting shich one is limitating the capacity of the department.
Machine capacity
The time it takes for a machine to process a batch is

In 40-hour week, every machine can process 2 batches/week.
With 20 machines, the capacity of the department is 2*20=40 batch/week (4000 pcs/week).
Workers capacity
With 40-hour week and 5-hours setup, every worker can make (40/5)=8 setups a week.
If the department has 4 workers, the amount of setups that can be done is 4*8=32 setups/week. That means that only 32 batches can be processed per week (3200 pcs/week).
The workers resource is the limitating capacity, and therefore the capacity of the lathe department.
Answer:
B) countries with higher GDP per person tend to have healthier environments.
Explanation:
According to the 2020 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) elaborated by Yale and Columbia universities, a strong positive correlation exists between high GDP per capita and healthier environments. There are a few exceptions to this correlation, in Asian (especially Arab) countries where GDP per capita might be high, but the vast majority of income is received by a vary small number of people. But in the rest of the world, a high GDP per capita generally results in healthier environments.
