Answer:

Time needed to complete the 4th unit = 57.80 hours

Explanation:

<u><em>The learning curve theory</em></u><em> states that as the cumulative output doubles the cumulative average time taken till date is reduced to a certain percentage of the previous time. This percentage is called learning rate</em>

Total time = Average time × cumulative number of units

The cumulative average time is determined using the formula below:

Y= aX^b

a - time taken for the first unit produced

b = log LR/Log 2

X- cumulative units till date

Y - cumulative average time taken for X units

LR- Learning rate

LR = 68/80 = 0.85 = 85%

<em>Time needed to complete the 4th unit</em>

= Learning rate × time take for the 2 unit

= 85% × 68

= 57.80 hours

Time needed to complete the 4th unit = 57.80 hours

Which of the following statements is true of control? Control through rules, procedures, and budgets is generally not very costl
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The second one

Explanation:

Control through rules and budgets can lead to rigidity and loss of creativity in an organization in a way that it limits change. When all available funds are allocated to specific operational budgets, it may be impossible to procure additional funds, when an opportunity arises elsewhere. Some organizations are therefore working in a way to back their budgeting systems.

Fischer Company has outstanding 8,000 shares of $100 par value, 5% preferred stock, and 50,000 shares of $1 par value common sto
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "$130,000".

Explanation:

The given values are:

No. of common shares outstanding

= 50,000

Dividend per share

= $1.80

No. of preferred shares outstanding

= 8,000

Dividend per share

= $5

Now,

The total dividend on common shares will be:

=  No. \ of \ common \ shared \ outstanding\times Dividend \ per \ share

On substituting the values, we get

=  50,000\times  1.80

=  90,000 ($)

The total dividend on preferred stock will be:

=  No. \  of \ preferred \ shares \ outstanding\times Divided \ per \ share

On substituting the values, we get

=  8,000\times 5

=  40,000 ($)

Hence,

The total dividend paid by company will be:

=  Total \ dividend \ on \ common \ shares +Total \ dividend  \ on \  preferred \ stock

=  90,000+40,000

=  130,000 ($)

Thus the above is the correct answer.

Think of the market for loanable funds. A policy that induces people to save more or that reduces the governmet's budget deficit
Lisa [10]

Answer:

shifts the supply of loanable funds and reduces interest rates.

Explanation:

The supply and demand curves of money (loanable funds) work in the same way as every other good or service. When the supply of a good or service increases, the supply curve shifts to the right, increasing total quantity supplied and decreasing equilibrium price. When we are talking about loans, the equilibrium price is the interest rate.
