Answer:

12.3 hours

Explanation:

The formula that is used to calculate the average time to produce a unit:

y = aQ^b

y = Average time to produce one unit.

a = Time necessary to produce the first unit.

Q = Cumulative production in units.

b = Learning rate which is calculated using: log (percentage learning rate)/log 2.

In this case, we have to start by calculating b:

b= Log0,87/log2= -0.139/0.693= -0.200

Then, we have that a= 17 and Q=5 and replace this on the formula for the average time to produce one unit:

y= 17* 5^-0.200

y= 17*0,724= 12,3

According to this, the average labor hours required per unit to produce five units is 12.3 hours.

Lindsey Hunter Corporation is authorized to issue 50,000 shares of $5 par value common stock. During 2020, Lindsey Hunter took p
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Lindsey Hunter Corporation:

a) Journal entry to record item 1:

Debit Cash Account with $225,000

Credit Common Stock with 25,000

Credit APIC Account with $200,000

To record the issue of 5,000 shares of $5 par value at $45 per share

b) Journal entry to record item 2:

Debit Land Account with $50,000

Credit Common Stock with $5,000

Credit APIC Account with $45,000

To record the issue of 1,000 shares $5 par value at $50 per share.

c) Journal entry to record item 3:

Debit Treasury Stock with $21,500

Credit Cash with $21,500

To record the purchase of 500 treasury shares at $43 per share, using the cost method.

Explanation:

a) The costs related to the issuance of the stock totaling $7,000 had been deducted before arriving at $45 issue price.  These costs include attorney, accountants, and underwriting fees.  Companies have two options to treat these costs.  One is to treat them as organization costs and expense them accordingly or apply the costs to reduce the paid-in capital.  The later is the method elected by Lindsey Hunter and it is alright.

b) Company stock can be issued for cash or other assets, as in question 2.  The treatment is similar.  This time, Land is increased instead of cash.  The most important issue is the price at which the land is appraised and not the market value of the stock.  The difference between par value and issue value is credited or debited to the APIC account.

c) The APIC account represents "Additional Paid-in Capital" also described as Share Premium Account.  It is the excess of the issue value over the par value.

d) Treasury stock is company stock that was formerly outstanding and now bought back from stockholders.  It is a reduction of the Equity.  It is created as a contra account.  There are two methods of treating treasury stock.

One method accounts for treasury stock at cost while the second method accounts for it at par.  The difference is that when it is accounted for at cost, the repurchase value is debited to the Treasury account while the credit entry goes to the Cash account.

On the other hand, when it is accounted for at par, the par value is debited to the Treasury account while the difference between par and repurchase value is debited or credited to the APIC account.  The credit entry goes to the Cash account, as always.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Transaction cost is the cost needed for every exchange. This cost can be external or internal. External transaction cost comes from the cost to do an exchange with a second party while internal cost comes from the company itself.  

The Martinez Legal Firm acquired a competitor so their business size will increase for sure. Larger businesses will become more complex and need more management. These will, in turn, increase the internal transaction cost.

Even though the remainder of this assignment will focus on motivation, there are two additional determinants of job performance.
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The answer is Job perfomance= Motivation x Ability x Situational x Constraints

Explanation:

Because in this formula, job performance is how well someone performs the requirements of the job, motivation is the degree to which someone works hard to do the job well, ability is the degree to which workers possess the knowledge, skills, and talent to do the job well, and situational constraints are factors beyond the individual control of the empolyees. Such as policies, resources. Since job perfomance is a multiple function of motivation times ability times situational constraints, the job performance wil decline if one of those elements is considered insuficient.
