Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example.

Explanation:

The law of Diminishing Marginal Productivity states that increasing one variable will keep the others the same. My initially increase output but eventually adding more of that one variable may lead to a diminishing rate of return. The law helps explain why increasing production is not always the best way to increase profits.

The law of Diminishing Marginal Productivity only applies when certain inputs are fixed, but in this example, the amount of labor available varies since it is increasing.

A team has prepared and estimate for what it can get accomplished in a Sprint. The Product Owner has wanted more to get accompli
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer: ScrumMaster should ask the Product Owner which other User Story they would like to give up in exchange for the one they want to add for this upcoming Sprint.

Explanation:

The options to the question are:

a. ScrumMaster should replan the Product Backlog and propose better user stories to address in the Sprint.

b. ScrumMaster should ask the Product Owner which other User Story they would like to give up in exchange for the one they want to add for this upcoming Sprint.

c. Stay out of the way as this is not the ScrumMaster's job to resolve.

d. ScrumMaster should ask the team to take the story on and work overtime.

From the question, we are informed that a team has prepared an estimate for what it can get accomplished in a Sprint and that the Product Owner has wanted more to get accomplished in the upcoming Sprint and therefore wants the team to take on an additional user story.

The best way to tackle this conflict is for the ScrumMaster should ask the Product Owner which other User Story they would like to give up in exchange for the one they want to add for this upcoming Sprint. Since an estimate has already been prepared, taking an additional user story will bring about an overestimation. Therefore, to being the right track, the thing to do is to actually give up a user story for the new one to be added.

Weaver Company's predetermined overhead rate is $21.00 per direct labor-hour and its direct labor wage rate is $15.00 per hour.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

1. $590

2. $9.83

Explanation:

1.

Total Number of Direct Labor Hours:

= Total Labor Cost ÷ Labor Rate Per Hour

= 150 ÷ 15

= 10 Hours

Total Overheads:

= Total Number of Direct Labor Hours*Predetermined Overhead Rate

= 10 × 21

= 210

Total Manufacturing Cost = 230 + 150 + 210

                                           = $590

2.

Average Cost:

= Total Manufacturing Cost ÷ Number of Units

= 590 ÷ 60

= $9.83
