Nikitich [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The sentence is unethical if there is a clear responsability on the mistakes. If the mistakes were made, and no one can be truly held accountable for that, then, the sentence is not unethical.

Explanation:

For example, if the government is corrupt, and officials actively commit embezzlement, the phrase "mistakes were made" is unethical because it is diverting the personal responsability of the corrupt officials.

But if for example, there is a volcano eruption, and the goverment tries its best to avoid casualties, but because of some involuntary mistakes some people still die, the phrase is not unethical because the mistakes were not voluntary and the consequences of those were not intended.

Daily demand for a product is 200 units. the production lead time is 2 days. a 1-day safety stokc is kept. how many kanban conta
SashulF [63]

Answer:6 kanban containers are needed  

Explanation: Using the formula

Number of kanban containers =( dL + S)/C

Where

Average demand, d = 200

Lead time, L = 2 days

Safety stock is 1 day, S = 200 units

Quantity in containers, C  = 100

Number of kanban containers = dL + S/C

= (200 x 2 + 200)/ 100 =400+200/100

= 600/100 = 6

Therefore 6 kanban containers are needed

dupe's age and olu's add upto 25 years. Eight years ago , dupe was twice as old as olu. how old are they now?​
Bas_tet [7]

Dupe's present age = 14 years

Olu's present age = 11 years

Explanation:

  • Let Dupe's age be x. Let Olu's age be y. Since their ages add up to 25 years, x + y = 25
  • Eight years ago Dupe's age was double that of Olu's age. Solving by simultaneous equations. Four methods are Elimination Method, Graphical Method, Substitution Method, and    Matrix Method. Let us try out Elimination method for solving a pair of simultaneous linear equations that reduces one equation to one that has only a single variable. Once this has been done, the solution is the same as that for when one line was vertical or parallel.
  • Therefore, eight years ago, Dupe's age was 6 and Olu's age was 3 so that x=2y becomes, 6=2*3. Eight years hence, x=6+8=14 and y=3+8=11. That makes, x or Dupe's age as 14 years and y or Olu's age as 11 years.

Gary, a new salesperson for a reputed cellphone manufacturer, meets the owner of a transport company that employs 50,000 people
qaws [65]

Answer:

Option B. It is unrealistic

Explanation:

The reason is that the people have different likes which means we will never see 100 percent acceptance from the customers which might in the way of rejecting the offer of Gary. So the assumption that 50,000 cab drivers will purchase its product is truly optimistic which in other words is unrealistic assumption. So the option B is correct.

Option A is incorrect because the assumption is less qualitative as it doesn't relies on realistic assumption.

The cab drivers sales are relevant here but the sales assumption was unrealistic (Highly optimistic assumption) so the option C and D are incorrect.

Option E is also incorrect because the sales to cab drivers can be measure by initially directly selling 1000 cell phone to 1000 cab drivers which will give an actual idea of sales units expected, which means it is measurable.

A manufacturing department has 50,000 EUP for units completed and transferred out and 4,500 EUP for units in ending inventory. M
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Value of closing inventory = $ 28,125.00

Explanation:

To value inventory, we multiply the cost per equivalent unit of production (cost per EUP) by the the number of equivalent units(EUP)  for each of the cost element.

So the value of the closing inventory, is determined as follows:

Value of inventory = cost per E.U.P × number of E.U.P

Material = $2.50 × 4,500 = 11,250.00

Labour and overhead= $3.75 × 4,500 =  16,875.00

Total amount of work in progress

= 11,250 + 16, 875

= $ 28,125.00
