Answer:
Cp= 1.33
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Meena Chavan Corp.'s computer chip production process yields DRAM chips with an average life of 1,800 hours and sigma = 100 hours. The tolerance upper and lower specification limits are 2,400 hours and 1,600 hours, respectively.
Cp= (upper specification - lower specification)/6*sigma
Cp= (2400 - 1600)/6*100= 1.33
Answer:
Direct Labor rate Variance $ 24840 Unfavorable
Labor Efficiency Variance $23520 favorable
Explanation:
Direct Labor rate Variance = Actual Hours * Actual Rate- Actual Hour * Standard Rate
Direct Labor rate Variance = 24840*15- 24840*14
= 372600- 347760
= $ 24840 Unfavorable
Labor Efficiency Variance = Actual Hours * Standard Rate- Standard Hour * Standard Rate
Labor Efficiency Variance = 24840*14- 4*6630*14
= 24840*14- 26520*14
= 347760 - 371280= $23520 favorable
Answer:
b. Will always be higher than the dividend paid per share
Explanation:
A firm pays dividend to it's stockholders based upon it's earnings.
Earnings per share (EPS) is expressed as:
= 
Dividend payout ratio on the other hand is expressed as:
= EPS (1 - b)
wherein, b = retention ratio which denotes the percentage of earnings retained by a firm i.e not distributed as dividends.
Thus, a firm's earnings per share would always be higher than the dividend paid by it per share.
I think this is a trick question. Say, there are 2 pounds of cocoa / 1 gallon of chocolate ice cream. But then the problem only mentions the production of eight gallons of <em>strawberry</em> ice cream, not chocolate ice cream.
However, if they're somehow related (like they are made from the same machine), then you need 16 pounds of cocoa to produce 8 gallons of chocolate ice cream.
