Answer:

  • 4%
  • 6%

Explanation:

Professors Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson of the MIT Sloan School of Management performed a study that proved that corporations that used data driven decision management had a higher productivity (+4%) and higher profits (+6%). This study was made by the two professors and the MIT Center for Digital Business.

They were very clear in specifying that the success of data driven management is based upon the quality of the data gathered and the effectiveness of its interpretation. Not all data gathered is useful for every corporation, so it must be properly analyzed and interpreted.

Street Runner Engine Shop uses a job order cost system to determine the cost of performing engine repair work. Estimated costs a
KiRa [710]

Answer:

$8.20/Direct Labor hours

Explanation:

Cost of performing engine repair work = Shop and repair equipment depreciation + Shop supervisor salaries + Shop property taxes + Shop supplies

Cost of performing engine repair work = $40,000 + $133,000  + $22,000 + $10,000

Cost of performing engine repair work = $205,000

Direct Labor Hours = Direct Labor/Direct Labor rate

Direct Labor Hours = 500,000/$20 per hour

Direct Labor Hours = 25,000 hours

Predetermined shop overhead rate per direct labor hour = $205,000 / 25,000 Hours = $8.20/Direct Labor hours

Trout farming is a perfectly competitive industry and all trout farms have the same cost curves.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

(i) The farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units

(ii)  The farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down

(iii)  The two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200)

Explanation:

(i)According to given data,  When output is 200 but price is $20, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm breaks even. But since this price is higher than AVC of $15, the farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units.

(ii) When output is 200 but price is $12, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm makes economic loss. Also, this price is lower than AVC of $15, so the farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down.

(iii) The farm's supply curve is the portion of its Marginal cost (MC) curve above the minimum point of AVC. Since price equals MC, the two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200).

Doss [256]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>1) Direct materials are those materials and supplies that are consumed during the manufacture of a product, and which are directly identified with that product.</u>

<u></u>

Direct material= Thread + Premium quality cotton material + Buttons

Direct material= 1,000 + 42,000 + 750

Direct material= $43,750

<u>2) Direct labor is production or service labor that is assigned to a specific product, cost center, or work order.  </u>

Direct labor= Wages paid to seamstresses  + Wages paid to cutters Direct labor= 75,000 + 50,000

Direct labor=  $125,000

<u>3) Manufacturing overhead refers to indirect factory-related costs that are incurred when a product is manufactured</u><u>.</u>

Manufacturing overhead= Factory rent + Utilities for factory + Cutting room supervisor's salary + Factory insurance + Depreciation on sewing machines

Manufacturing overhead= 42,000 + 22,000 + 30,000 + 15,000 + 6,000

Manufacturing overhead= $115,000

4) Total manufacturing costs= 43,750 + 125,000 + 115,000

Total manufacturing costs= $283,750

5) Prime cost= direct material + direct labor

Prime cost= 43,750 + 125,000

Prime cost= $168,750

6) Conversion cost= direct labor + MOH

Conversion cost= 125,000 + 115,000

Conversion cost= $240,000

7) <u>Period costs are not directly tied to the production process</u>. Overhead or sales, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs are considered period costs. SG&A includes costs of the corporate office, selling, marketing, and the overall administration of company business.

Period costs= Company advertising + Depreciation on salespersons' vehicles + President's salary

Period costs= 18,000 + 25,000 + 75,000

Period costs= $118,000
