QUESTION THREE.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

We can first order the data from smallest value to largest value:

461

549

745

1500

1800

2000

3750

4795

68000

a) The mean is 9289, and the median is 1800

b) The data does have an outlier, which is 68000, because it is more that three standards deviations away from the mean, excluding this value, our new mean is 1950 and our new median is 1650. We can see that the greatest change in value was for the mean.

c) the median is more appropriate because the median is less sensitive to outliers. The mean can be easily swayed by outliers in either way, and this can give an erroneous impression of the data.

Quarter 3 75,250 $ 90,300

Quarter 4 60,500 $ 72,600

Full year $ 343.500

3. Expected Cash disbursements

Quarter 1 $ 54,740

4. Total cost of Direct Labor

Quarter 1 $ 27,900

Quarter 2 $ 37,200

Quarter 3 $ 34,100

Quarter 4 $ 31,000

Total Year for direct labor $ 130,200

Explanation:

Computation of raw material purchases

Raw material consumption

Qtr No of Units per qtr Total Requirement

1 9,000 * 7 gms per unit = 63,000 gms

2 12,000 * 7 gms per unit = 84,000 gms

3 11,000 * 7 gms per unit = 77,000 gms

4 10,000 * 7 gms per unit = 70,000 gms

Total Year 294,000 gms

Raw Material Purchases for each quarter

Purchases = Closing inventory + Consumption - Opening inventory

1 21,000 (84,000gms * 25 % ) + 63,000 - 15.750 = 68,250 gms

2 19,250 (77,000gms* 25 %) + 84,000 - 21,000 = 82,250 gms

3 17,500 ( 70,000gms* 25 %) + 77,000-19,250 = 75,250 gms

4 8,000 ( As per data) + 70,000-17.500 = 60,500 gms

Total year purchases = = 286,250 gms

Cost of purchases

Quarter 1 68,250 gms * $ 1.20 = $ 81,900

Quarter 2 82,250 gms * $ 1.20 = $ 98,700

Quarter 3 75,250 gms * $ 1,20 = $ 90,300

Quarter 4 60,500 gms * $ 1,20 = $ 72,600

Total purchases $ 343,500

Computation of cash disbursements for purchases

Quarter 1 Payments = Opening Payables + 60 % of quarter 1

$ 5,600 + ( 60 %* $ 81,900) = $ 5,600 + $ 49,140 = $ 54,740

Quarter 2 payments

(40 % of quarter 1) + ( 60 % of quarter 2)

($ 81,900 * 40 %) + ( $ 98,700 * 60 %)

$ 32,760 + $ 59,220 = $ 91,980

Quarter 3 payments

(40 % of quarter 2) + ( 60 % of quarter 3)

($ 98,700 * 40 %) + ( $ 90,300 * 60 %)

$ 39,480 + $ 54,180 = $ 93.660

Quarter 4 payments

(40 % of quarter 3) + ( 60 % of quarter 4)

($ 90,300 * 40 %) + ( $ 72,600 * 60 %)

$ 36,120 + $ 43,560 = $ 79,680

Total payments for purchases for the year $ 320,060

Computation of direct labor cost

No of units * Estimated Direct labor hours * Labor rate per hour

Quarter 1 = 9,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50 = $ 27.900

Quarter 2 = 12,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50 = $ 37.200

Quarter 3 11,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50 = $ 34.100

Quarter 4 10,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50 = $ 31.000

Total cost for Direct labour $ 130,200

many say that companies have a right to drug-test their employees because drug use impairs an employee's performance. how do des

marin [14]

The workplace is the location of the arbitrary drug testing. This is done to see if any of the workers are using drugs. The testing aids in determining the quantity and frequency of recent alcohol and illegal substance usage.

The impairment brought on by stress or other factors is not tested during random testing.Employees are subjected to random exams, which are probably inspections of their physical conditions to determine whether they are drug users and how their bodies have been impacted by drugs to the point where they are unable to perform their regular jobs.

Employees who are discovered to be using illicit drugs receive warnings and are fired from their positions.Any unannounced, without prior notice chemical screening for the presence of typically illicit narcotics in a sample of one's blood, hair, or urine is known as a "random drug test."Being unexpected and without prior notice, it is random. This is done to weed out workers who use heavy drugs, which frequently renders them ineffective or ineligible for employment.
