Answer:
Alpha Technology
Outstanding Computer's consumption ratio for setup hours is:
b. 0.48
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Overhead activities and costs:
Setting up equipment $3,000
Machining $15,000
Excellent Outstanding
Laptops Computers
Direct Labor $25,000 $10,000
Direct Materials $20,000 $5,000
Expected Production in Units 3,000 3,000
Machine Hours 850 2,000
Setup Hours 80 75
Total setup hours = 155 hours
Outstanding Computer's consumption ratio for setup hours = 75/155 * 100
= 48%
Answer:
A. 3.8 YEARS
B YES
C $325.91
Explanation:
Payback period is the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
payback period = amount invested / cash flows
$1,900 / $500 = 3.8 years
the project should be accepted because the payback period is less than the maximum acceptable year
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
cash flow in year 0 = $-1900
cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $500
I = 4%
NPV = $325.91
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Answer:
1) $0.27 per loaf of bread
2) $0.28 per loaf of bread
3) 3.7%
Explanation:
current production = 1,800 loaves per month
current labor expense = $8 per hour
constant utility cost = $800
ingredients per loaf = $0.40
multi-factor productivity = total output / (labor + materials + overhead)
current multi-factor productivity = 1,800 loaves / ($5,120 + $800 + $720) = $0.27 per loaf of bread
new output level = 1,800 x 1.35 = 2,430 loaves
new multi-factor productivity = 2,430 loaves / ($6,912 + $800 + $972) = $0.28 per loaf of bread
% increase = ($0.28 - $0.27) / $0.27 = 3.7%
Answer:
d. 301,000
Explanation:
Given that the cost per textbook is $27, we know that the addition of variable and fixed Cost gives total cost.
We will multiply variable cost per textbook of $20 with current volume of book sold per year 43,000, which gives a total variable cost of $860,000.
Also, total cost would be 43,000 multiplied with $27 , which is $1,161,000 minus the total variable cost of $860,000 equals $301,000 which is the associated fixed cost.
Answer:
Piedmont
⇒ government jobs. The northern part of Virginia is loaded with federal government workers and federal agencies. Even though the Piedmont region is much larger, its main source of income comes from government jobs mainly located at the northern part (near Washington D.C.)
Appalachian Plateau ⇒ coal mining. Coal is one of Virginia's most valuable natural resources and it is mined in the Appalachian Plateau region (west of the state).
Blue Ridge Mountain ⇒ farming. The major economic activities in the Blue Ridge Mountain region of Virginia include farming, livestock, lumber and tourism.
Coastal Plain ⇒ tourism. The main sources of income include tourism, shipbuilding and military contractors.
Explanation:
Principal economic activities there include livestock raising, farming, tobacco growing, and lumber production. Commercial apple orchards are found in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. The Blue Ridge is a major East Coast recreation area noted for its resorts and scenery. The Appalachian Trail winds atop the range.
