4 0

For much of the first half of the twentieth century, managers viewed work specialization as an unending source of increased productivity.
Since specialization was fairly new in the twentieth century, when employees were given special tasks to complete for work versus doing a little bit of everything, they noticed their productivity levels increasing. When people are able to focus on one thing they are really good at instead of a lot of things they are decent at the rate of productivity increases.

<h2>Question:</h2>

As the data in incomplete, lets consider the data found on the net for the same question

DATE LIBOR

week 1 1.98%

week 2 1.64%

week 3 1.54%

week 4 1.31%

week 5 1.57%

week 6 1.69%

week 7 1.66%

week 8 1.94%

week 9 1.92%

(This data in not given in the question. If some values differ from this data, just change the that value in the method below and you'll get your answer)

<h2></h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

Floating rate = 0.25%

Maximum rate = 2.24%

Minimum rate = 1.71%

General formula for for finding rate of interest of a week

Week Rate = Previous Week's Rate (LIBOR from table) + Floating Rate

Lets find the values:

Week 2 rate = Week 1 rate + 0.25% = 1.98% + 0.25% = 2.23%

Week 3 rate = Week 2 rate + 0.25% = 1.64% + 0.25% = 1.89%

Week 4 rate = Week 3 rate + 0.25% = 1.54% + 0.25% = 1.79%

Week 5 rate = Week 4 rate + 0.25% = 1.31% + 0.25% = 1.56%

Week 5 rate is lower than the minimum rate, rate of Week 5 can be taken as minimum rate

Week 5 rate = 1.71%

Week 6 rate = Week 5 rate + 0.25% = 1.57% + 0.25% = 1.82%

Week 7 rate = Week 6 rate + 0.25% = 1.69% + 0.25% = 1.94%

Week 8 rate = Week 7 rate + 0.25% = 1.66% + 0.25% = 1.91%

Week 9 rate = Week 8 rate + 0.25% = 1.94% + 0.25% = 2.19%

Week 10 rate = Week 9 rate + 0.25% = 1.92% + 0.25% = 2.17%

The Harleysville Manufacturing Shop produces motorcycle parts. Typically, 10 pieces out of a job lot of 1,000 parts are spoiled.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Materials Control $ 250

Manufacturing Overhead Control $1,000

Work-in-Process Control $1,250

Explanation:

spoilage rate: 10/1000 = 0.01=1%

the job requires 2,500 goods parts

total part required (considering spoilage)

$\frac{requirement}{1-spolage} =$total needs$

2,500 /(1-0.01) = 2500/ 0.99 = 2525.2525 = 2525

2525-2500 = 25 spoilage part

in this case you may think you can simple do 2,500 x 0.01

But if the spoilage rate is high or the amount of high is, then you will have an answer different than the correct method. Stick to the formula given.

25 part x 50 = 1,250

From the work in process, we will subtract this value, we will increase the spoilage materials inventory and charge the diference as actual overhead.

Materials Control $ 250

Manufacturing Overhead Control $1,000

Work-in-Process Control $1,250

Apex Fitness Club uses straight-line depreciation for a machine costing $23,860, with an estimated four-year life and a $2,400 s

maria [59]

Answer:

1. Book value at end of year 2 = $13,130

2. Depreciation from year 3 for last 3 years = $3,710 each year, that is $11,130 for three years.

Explanation:

As for the provided details, we have:

Cost of machinery = $23,860

Expected life = 4 years

Salvage value = $2,400

Straight line depreciation = $\frac{23,860 - 2,400}{4} = 5,365$

Under straight line method depreciation remains constant for life of asset.

Book value at end of year 2 = $23,860 - ($5,365 $\times$ 2) = $13,130

Thereafter in the beginning of year 3 the estimate is made to realize that the total remaining life expected is 3 years, with salvage value $2,000

Thus, depreciation from year 3 = $\frac{13,130 - 2,000}{3} = 3,710$

Therefore, depreciation from year 3 to year 5 = $3,710 each year.

Total depreciation of last 3 years = $3,710 $\times$ 3 = $11,130
