Answer:

D

Explanation:

We will use the assembly line balancing equation to solve this problem.

The equation is:

Efficiency=\frac{Sum \ of \ task \ times}{Total \ time}

The sum of task times is given as "60 mins"

Now, the Total time would be the number of workstations multiplied by the cycle time of each.

Number of Workstations = 8

Cycle Time = 10 minutes

Hence, total time is:

8 * 10 = 80

Now, efficiency:

Efficiency=\frac{Sum \ of \ task \ times}{Total \ time}\\Efficiency=\frac{60}{80}=0.75

Correct answer is D

A company had stock outstanding as follows during each of its first three years of operations: 2,500 shares of 10%, $100 par, cu
ad-work [718]

Answer:

See the attached photo for the completed the schedule.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached photo for the completed the schedule.

In the attach excel file, the following formulae and calculations are used:

Peferred stock dividend per share = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in a year / Number of cumulative preferred shares

Common stock dividend per share = Total common stock dividend paid in a year / Number of common shares

Total cumulative preferred stock dividend = Number of cumulative preferred stock * Par value * Dividend rate = 2,500 * $100 * 10% =  2,500 * $100 * 10% = $25,000

Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 1 = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend - Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 1 = $25,000 - $10,000 = $15,000

Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 2 = Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 1 = $15,000

Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 3 = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend + Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 2 = $25,000 + $15,000 = $40,000

Total common stock dividend paid in Year 3 = Dividend distributed in Year 3 - Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 3 = $60,000 - $40,000 = $20,000

A $1,000 face value bond has a coupon rate of 7 percent, a market price of $989.40, and 10 years left to maturity. Interest is p
dlinn [17]

Answer:

4.95%    

Explanation:

For computing the yield to maturity when expressed in real terms, first we have to find out the yield to maturity by applying the RATE formula that is shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Present value = $989.40

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 7% ÷ 2 = $35

NPER = 10 years × 2 = 20 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  the yield to maturity is 7.15%    

Now in real terms, it would be

= 7.15% - 2.2%

= 4.95%

scenarios as examples of elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic demand. When Ruko, a device used to stream movies at home, increase
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Elastic demand

Unit elastic demand

Inelastic demand

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price.

Denand is elastic if when price is increased, the quantity demanded changes more than the increase in price. Quanitity demanded is more sensitive to changes in price.

If price is increased, the quantity demanded falls and as a result the total revenue earned by sellers falls.

The elasticity of demand is usually greater than 1 when demand is elastic.

Demand is unit elastic if a change in price has the same proportional change on quantity demanded. The coefficient of elasticity is equal to one.

If price is increased, the quantity demanded changes by the same proportion so there's no change in total revenue of sellers.

Demand is inelastic if a change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded.

Coefficient of elasticity is usually less than one.

If price is increased, there is little or no change in the quantity demanded and as a result the revenue earned by sellers increase.

Cole Co. began constructing a building for its own use in January 2016. During 2016, Cole incurred interest of $50,000 on specif
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 'Option (b)  

Explanation:    

Cole co. should compare between actual interest incurred on all the debts and the calculated interest on weighted average accumulated expenditure and lower of these two should be capitalized.

Actual interest incurred =$50,000+20,000 = $70,000

Calculated interest = $40,000

Lower of these two to be capitalized for the building during 2011= $40,000

lakkis [162]

Answer:

Ending inventory cost= $5,556.92

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Mar. 1 Beginning inventory 900 $ 7.26

Mar. 10 Purchase 520 7.76

Mar. 16 Purchase 452 8.36

Mar. 23 Purchase 510 9.06

Units sold= 1,760

<u>Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory is calculated using the costs of the last units incorporated into inventory:</u>

<u></u>

Units in ending invnetory= 2,382 - 1760= 622

Ending inventory cost= 510*9.06 + 112*8.36

Ending inventory cost= $5,556.92
