Answer:
C. Reject W
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) which is shown below:
Expected return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate - Risk-free rate of return)
= 7% + 1.6 × (12%-7%)
= 7% + 1.6 × 5%
= 7% + 8%
= 15%
The Project W should be rejected as it gives only 14% expected return which is less than the derived expected return.
<span>Normally if one tecnician takes 475 seconds to assemble one air rule smartphone.
Then it would take. 20 technicians X secs to do the same
So It would take 20 tecnicians X secs = (20 * 475) / 1 = 9500 secs. I. e it takes 20 technicians 9500 secs to manufacture a smartphone.
But airrules uses 20 technicians to manufacture the same phone in only 30 secs.
So its efficiency would be: Number of secs it takes the 20 techician to manufacture the phone * efficiency = Normal of hours it would usually take 20 techician to manufacture the phone.
So we have 30 * X = 9500
X = 9500/30 = 316.777. So they are 316.667 times as efficient.</span>

FLSA rules establish that only short coffee breaks (between 5 to 20 minutes) should be compensated as work time. Meal periods that last at least 30 minutes are not compensable work time.
If maintenance workers are recalled earlier, that time counts as work time because they are performing their normal work tasks.
