Answer:

360

Explanation:

Kanban is a method that is used to mange workflow in order to assist in visualizing the work and maximize the efficiency of a workers as well as making the workers agile.

The formula for calculating the number of Kanban is given as follows:

Number of Kanban = (Dd × LT × (1 + SS)) ÷ QC   .................. (1)

DD = Daily required production level = 250

LT = Lead Time (in minutes) = 30

SS = Safety Stock  = 20% = 0.2

QC = Number of squidgets in a container = 25

Substituting the values above into equation (1), we have:

Number of Kanban = (250 × 30 × (1 + 0.2)) ÷ 25

                                = (250 × 30 × 1.2) ÷ 25

                                = 9,000 ÷ 25

                                =  360  

Therefore, the number of kanbans to be circulated between Sandy's process and the previous operations is 360.

An establishment has three departments with variable costs as a percentage of sales revenue of 30 percent, 40 percent, and 50 pe
zalisa [80]

Answer:

60 percent

Explanation:

Contribution margin refers to the revenue a firm derives after deducting the variable cost it has incurred.

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable costs

Contribution margin or contribution to sales ratio represents the percentage of contribution a firm earns from the sale of it's output.

It is represented mathematically as,

= \frac{Contribution\ margin}{Sales}

Also, contribution margin ratio = 100 - variable cost ratio percentage.

Hence, contribution margin for three departments would be:

A = 100 - 30% = 70%

B = 100 - 40% = 60%

C = 100- 50% = 50%

This represents if sales revenue is 100, contribution margin earned is 70, 60 and 50 under three cases.

Since sales revenue in all three departments is the same, let us assume the sales revenue of a department as y.

\frac{0.70y\ +\ 0.60y\ +\ 0.50y}{3y}    

Thus, weighted average contribution margin would be, 60 percent

kipiarov [429]
For me, the incorrect passage would be "Investments and lending have risen". In an economic downturn, investors are reluctant to put money on a market that is experiencing losses. 

Economists warn of an economic downturn. Prices have skyrocketed. Unemployment is up as businesses move up to reduce <span>costs. The Fed considers lowering discount rates and reserve requirements to increase monetary circulation.</span>
