katrin2010 [14]

Complete Question:

The president of a consulting firm wants to minimize the total number of hours it will take to complete three projects for a new client. Accordingly, she has estimated the time it should take for each of her top consultants-Charlie, Betty, Johnny, and Rick-to complete any of the three projects, as follows: Project (Hours) Consultant Charlie 16 11 13 Betty 15 14 18 Johnny 22 12 15 Rick 17 12 22 Assume there must be one-to-one matching between consultants and projects. For the optimal schedule, what is the total number of hours it will take these consultants to complete these projects? Options: 46 hours, 61 hours, 53 hours, 54 hours, 50 hours

Answer:

For the optimal schedule, the total number of hours it will take these consultants to complete these projects is:

54 hours

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Project (Hours)

Consultant A B C D Project assignment

Charlie 13 16 11 13 Charles takes C for 11

Betty 11 15 14 18 Betty takes A for 11

Johnny 15 22 12 15 Johnny takes D for 15

Rick 17 17 12 22 Rick takes B for 17

Minimum hours 11 15 11 13 Total hours taken 54

b) To achieve optimal schedule, Consultant Betty should take project A, spending 11 hours. Consultant Charlie should take project C for 11 hours. Consultant Johnny should take project D for 15 hours, while Rick takes project B for 17 hours. This gives a total of 54 hours spent on the four projects.

In its first 10 years a mutual fund produced an average annual return of 20.4420.44%. Assume that money invested in this fund c

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

3.73 years or 4 years approx

Explanation:

The computation of the number of years taken for money invested for double is shown below:

As we know that

Amount = Principal × (1 + interest rate ÷ time period)^interest rate × time period

where,

We assume the principal be P

And, the amount is 2P

And, the other values would remain the same

So,

2P = P (1 + 0.2044 ÷ time period)^ 1 × time period

2 = (1.2044)^ time period

Now take the log both sides

ln2 = ln (1.2044)^time period

ln2 - time period ln (1.2044)

So,

time period = ln(2) ÷ ln (1.2044)

= 3.73 years or 4 years approx

Journalize the following transactions for Combs Company.

Anarel [89]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Debit: Raw material $12000

Credit: Account payable $11500

Credit: Material price variance $500

(To record material purchase)

b. Debit: Work in process 11600

Credit: Raw material 11200

Credit: Material price variance 400

(To record material issued)

Note:

Material price variance for (a)= 12000 - 11500 = 500

Work in progress = 5800 × 2 = 11600

Material price variance for (b) = 11600 - 11200 = 400

On October 1, 2018, Swifty Company places a new asset into service. The cost of the asset is $125000 with an estimated 5-year li

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The book value of the plant asset on the December 31, 2018 is $75,000.

Explanation:

Determine the depreciable cost,

The depreciable cost = Acquisition cost - Salvage value.

The depreciable cost = 125,000 - 30,500.

The depreciable cost = $94,500.

Determine the annual depreciation expense,

The annual depreciation expense = depreciable cost/useful life

The annual depreciation expense = 94,000/5

The annual depreciation expense = $18,900.

Find the % rate of depreciation .

The % rate of depreciation = (18,900/94,500) × 100.

% rate of depreciation = 20%

Since it is the double-declining-balance method of depreciation we multiply the % rate by 2 = 20% × 2 = 40%

Applying the rate to the carrying value of the asset to obtain current year's depreciation expense.

Current year's depreciation expense = Carrying value of the asset × the depreciation rate %.

Current year's depreciation expense = 125,000 × 40%.

Current year's depreciation expense = $75,000
