Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Inflation is a way of measuring the rate of a certain product or service increases over a certain period of time, which can be a month, a year, etc.

In inflation, the currency of a country is devalued, that is, the currency loses value. You don't buy the same with 10 dollars today, what you bought with that money ten years ago, and this is caused by inflation.

When inflation occurs the currency of a country decreases its value and this is expressed through a percentage that impacts the cost that products and services will have.

For example, suppose that the rate of a product that today costs 5 dollars is 4% per year. Then said product next year will cost 4% more. This means that the product will cost 5.20 dollars.

Therefore, the correct answer is Inflation is a sustained rise in the general level of prices of goods and services.

Consider a 5-step process for the National Corporation that includes cutting, drilling, stamping, welding, and painting. The cut

Amanda [17]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{\text{The capacity of the entire five-step process is 30 units per hour}}}$

Explanation:

The rate of production is determined by the slowest step or process.

Determine the rate of production of each step.

1. The Cutting department has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 2 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machince

rate = 6 × 1 unit / 2 minute = 3 units / minute

2. Drilling has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 3 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machince

rate = 6 × 1 unit / 3 minute = 2 units / minute

3. Stamping has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 4 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machince

rate = 6 × 1 unit / 4 minute = 1.5 units / minute

4. Welding has 4 machines that each process materials at a rate of 2 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machince

rate = 4 × 1 unit / 2 minute = 2 units / minute

5. Painting has 2 machines that each process materials at a rate of 4 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machince

rate = 2 × 1 unit / 4 minute = 0.5 units / minute

Then, the fifth process, painting is the slowest process because it only can process 0.5 units per minute. This is the bottleneck. Even if the other processes worked faster, the production could not exceed the number of machines that can be painted per hour.

To find how many units can be painted or produced by hour multiply the rate by the number of minutes in one hour:

0.5 units/min × 60 min/hour = 30 units / hour.

Therefore, the capacity of the entire five-step process is 30 units per hour.

Use this information for ABC Corporation to answer the question that follow. ABC Corporation has three service departments with

serg [7]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The question is:

1. What is the service department charge rate for Graphics Production?

a.$10.00

b.$2.00

c.$0.50

d.$6.66

The service department charge for Graphics Production will be calculated by dividing the cost of graphic production by the total number of copies that are made. This will be:

= $200000/(20000 + 30000 + 50000)

= $200,000 / 100,000

= $2 per copy

2. How much service department cost will be allocated to the Micro Division?

a.$200,000

b.$145,000

c.$345,000

d.$60,000

The service department cost that is allocated to the Micro Division will be calculated as:

= [20000 x ($200000/100000)] + [700 x ($500000/2000)] + [130 x ($400000/400)]

= (20000 × 2) + (700 × 250) + (130 × 1000)

= $40000 + $175000 + $130000

= $345000
