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:
= 1.05
Similarly, after the process improvement, the productivity in units per labor hour would be:
= 3.2
Thus change in productivity would be calculated as:
= 2.047 × 100
= 204.76%
Thus, the productivity of non defective parts would increase by 204.76%.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $66,000
Salvage value= $5,700
Useful life= 6
F<u>irst, we need to calculate the annual depreciation using the following formula:</u>
<u></u>
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (66,000 - 5,700) / 6= 10,050
<u>2017:</u>
Annual depreciation= (10,050/12)*3= $2,512.5
<u>2018:</u>
Annual depreciation= $10,050
