Oksi-84 [34.3K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer and Explanation:

Serial activities are activities that are performed one after the other. In serial activities, one step in a job is finished before the other step starts. In other words more time may be spent as against concurrent activities whereby the two steps in a job can be performed at the same time such that the second step can start while the first step of the job is in progress. Managers prefer concurrent activities because it saves time as jobs are completed faster when steps can be performed "concurrently"

Answer:

Future value = 16007.81437

Explanation:

we have to compound all the rates for the time period together as the 7,750 as exposed to this rate and their interest generated in one period are taking into consideration for the subsequent period interest calculations.

7,750 (1.06)^3(1.066)^2(1.073)^6 = FV

We multiply them and get the future value factor:

7,750 \times 2.065524435 = FV

we now can solve for future value:

Future value = 16007.81437

A customer has requested that Byrd Corporation fill a special order for 9,000 units of product S51 for $20.50 a unit. Product S5
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Effect on income= $4,500 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Special offer: 9,000 units of product S51 for $20.50 a unit.

Direct materials $ 3.10

Direct labor 1.50

Variable overhead 6.40

The customer would like modifications made to product S51 that would increase the variable costs by $5.00 per unit and that would require an investment of $36,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value.

<u>Because it is a special offer, we will not have into account the fixed costs.</u>

Unitary variable cost= 3.1 + 1.5 + 6.4 + 5= $16

Investment= 36,000

Effect on income= 9,000* (20.5 - 16) - 36,000

Effect on income= 40,500 - 36,000

Effect on income= $4,500 increase

Opportunity cost alludes to an advantage that a person could have gotten, yet offered up, to make another course of move. Expressed in an unexpected way, an opportunity cost that shows an alternative given up when a choice is made. This cost is, accordingly, most significant for two totally unrelated occasions.
