Answer: 204.76%

Explanation:

In the earlier scenario, furniture maker manufactured 47 (42 non defective) pieces per 5 laborers working 8 hours day.

Thus, the productivity in terms of units per labor hour is as follows:

= \frac{42}{8\times5}

= 1.05

Similarly, after the process improvement, the productivity in units per labor hour would be:

= \frac{128}{8\times5}

= 3.2

Thus change in productivity would be calculated as:

=\frac{3.2-1.05}{1.05}\times100

= 2.047 × 100

= 204.76%

Thus, the productivity of non defective parts would increase by 204.76%.

GDP excludes the value of goods produced at home. many items are counted twice or more in the intermediate stages of production.
Softa [21]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

GDP or gross domestic product value is a measure of the total value of all products and services produced within the boundaries of a country in a given time. It factors all products, regardless of who manufactures them, whether foreigners or locals, men or women. To avoid double-counting, GDP considers finished products only.

In calculating GDP, economists will deduct the cost of imports. The reason is that imports are produced in foreign countries. The value of GDP indicates whether the economy is expanding or contracting. An increase in GDP shows economic growth in the country. An increase in capital goods, human capital, labor force, technology,  contribute to economic growth.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

In order to compute the profit, the accountant consider the Explicit cost so,

Explicit Cost = Borrowed amount × Interest rate + Ingredients amount

                     = $30,000 ×  3% + $25,000

                     = $259,000

Where Revenue is $60,000

Profit = Revenue - Explicit Cost

        = $60,000 - $259,000

        = $34,100

Economic Profit is computed as:

Economic Profit = Total Profit - Implicit Cost

                          = $34,100 - $40,600

                          = - $6,500

where

Implicit Cost = Salary + Interest

                = $40,000 + ($20,000 × 3%)

                =  $40,000 + $600

                = $40,600

Therefore, Louis says profit is $34,100 and Greg says she lost $6,500

Problem 8-15 Comparing Investment Criteria [LO 1, 3, 4, 6] Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flo
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Payback period (A)  is 3.44 years

Payback period (B)  is  2.39 years

Explanation:

Cash Flow (A)   –$428,000; $42,500;  $63,500;  $80,500;  $543,000

Cash Flow (B)   –$41,500; $20,700; $13,000; $20,100; $16,900

The payback period will note consider discounting rate, thus we do manual counting till the cash flow equal to zero (0)

Payback period = Number of Years immediately preceding year of break-even + (investment - cashflow of Years immediately preceding year of break-even)/ cashflow of year break- even

Project A will be break even in Year 4, then

Payback period (A)  = 3 years + ($428,000 - ($42,500+$63,500+$80,500))/ $543,000 = 3.44 years

Project B will be break even in Year 3, then

Payback period (B)  = 2 years + ($41,500 - ($20,700+$13,000))/$20,100 = 3.44 years = 2.39 years
