Answer:
Unemployment rate = 3.6%
Explanation:
Unemployment is the number of people who are willing to work and are actively seeking work but are unable to find it. The unemployment rate is the unemployed / total number of people in the labor force x 100.
In the above scenario, the unemployed is 3 million people. The others are either already employed, unavailable, unwilling or not seeking work.
The labour force comprises of those who are employed and unemployed, that is 80million + 3million = 83 million.
Hence, unemployment rate = (3/83) x 100 = 3.6%
Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mean daily demand, M = 20 calculators per day
Standard deviation, SD = 4 calculators per day
Lead time for this calculator, L = 9 days
z-critical value (for 95% in-stock probability) = 1.65 (From z tables)
Normal consumption during lead-time:
= Mean daily demand × Lead time
= 20 × 9
= 180 units of calculator
Safety Stock = z value × SD × L^(0.5)
= 1.65 × 4 × (9)^(0.5)
= 1.65 × 4 × 3
= 19.8 units
Reorder Point = Normal consumption during lead-time + Safety Stock
= 180 units + 19.8 units
= 199.8 or 200 units (Approx)
Answer:
b. Such policies have the potential to equalize society.
Explanation:
Open mindedness policy means giving fair and equal opportunity to all and sundry without being bias. When considering open mindedness policy, information is shared to everyone without considering race, religion background or educational qualifications.
Open mindedness accepts people from diverse background and tends to listen first before judging. It also consider opinions from all side without segregation. Although this is the right thing expected but the result is usually not the case.
Unlike close mindednes which restrict information thereby limiting opportunities, open mindedness helps one to learn, unlearn, relearn and grow. It also comes with being honest-thats who you are.
Thus when policy is enacted on open mindedness, it has potentials to equalize the society.
Each unit sells: $80
Each unit costs to make: $32
Fixed costs: 72,000
Goal: 2,000 units sold
If they meet their goal, let's see how that would go:
(2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
160,000 - 64,000 - 72,000 = 24,000
24,000 is the profit they would make for hitting their goal.
Question 1:
What is the break-even point? The break-even means they make no money, but they also lose no money. So that final number (24,000) would be 0 instead. How many units would they have to make to hit zero?
(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 = 0.
80x - 32x = 72,000
48x = 72,000
x = 1500 units
We can verify by using our first formula we've already determined, using this new value for units.
(1,500* 80) - (1,500 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
120,000 - 48,000 - 72,000 = 0? True!
Question 2: If they increase their expenses by 16,000, what is their new break even point?
(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 - 16000 = 0.
80x - 32x - 88000 = 0
48x = 88000
x = 1833
Question 3: 10% reduction in selling price and 10% increase in sales. (Assuming based off the original formula the problem provided.)
Original: (2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
10% Reduction in price: 8
80-8 = 72
10% increase in sales: 200
2000 + 200 = 2200
Plugin to our formula:
(2200 * 72) - (2200 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
158400 - 70400 - 72,000 = 16,000
Since this number is positive, this is income. (D)
Answer:
Break-even point (dollars)= $80,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs:
Direct materials $1.50
Direct labor 1.20
Variable overhead 0.90
Variable marketing expense 0.40
Total variable costs= 4
Fixed costs:
The fixed marketing expense totaled $13,000
The fixed administrative expense totaled $35,000.
Total fixed costs= $48,000
The price per calendar is $10.
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 48,000/ [(10 - 4)/10]
Break-even point (dollars)= 48,000/0.6
Break-even point (dollars)= $80,000
