Who is responsible for participating in the discussion at a performance review?

The following information is taken from Reagan Company's December 31 balance sheet:

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Firm’s sales uncollected for year is 42 days.

Explanation:

Account receivable turnover ratio = $621,000 / $70,422

Account receivable turnover ratio = 8.69

Thus, accounts receivable turnover ratio is 8.69

Average collection period = 365 / Account receivable turnover ratio

Average collection period = 365 days / 8.69

Average collection period = 42.00

Thus, firm’s sales uncollected for year is 42 days.

An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The second hand machine should be chosen given that the NPV value is lower than that of the new system

Explanation:

cost of second hand system = $75,000

cost of new system = $150,000

New system can decrease labor hours by 20%

number of useful life ( for both systems ) = 5 years

market value of second hand system after 5 years = $20,000

market value of new system after 5 years = $50,000

Second hand system can operate for 8 hours/day for 20 days = 8*20 = 160 hours per month = 1920 hours per year

labor cost = $40 per hour

MARR = 1% per month

Determine the system that should be recommended

we have to calculate the NPV for both options

for Option 1 ( second hand system )

labor cost = 40 * 1920 = $76800

cost of purchase = $75,000

MARR = 12% p.a.

residual value = $20000

First step : calculate the PV of maintenance cost = $76800× PVAF(12%, 5 years) = $276864

Next : calculate the PV of residual value =$20000× PVF(12%, 5th year)

= $11340

NPV = (75000 + 276864 - 11340 ) = $340,524

for Option 2 ( New Machine )

Labor cost = ( 1920 × 0.8 )hours ×40 = $61440

cost of machine = $150000

Pv of labor cost = 61440×3.605 = $221491.20

Residual value = $50,000

Hence ; PV of residual value = 50000 × 0.567 = $28350

Finally calculate the NPV = (150000+221491.20-28350) = $343,141.20

Fred Hash worked for Van Stavern Construction Co. as a field supervisor in charge of constructing a new plant facility. Hash ent

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Ratification by Principal One of the criteria for enactment is that all material truths involved in the transaction must be known to the Principal. Van Stavern was not aware of Hash's behaviour.

He did not realize that somehow the steel is being shipped under his name, and that the shipments were being billed him directly. Unlike liability through obvious authority, approval by the principal is a positive act by which he or she acknowledges the agent's illegal actions.

Just a principal would ratify; thus, Van Stavern was not directly imputed to information by the invoices and checks signed by Van Stavern's workers.

The court stated that the use of corporate checks was further proof that Van Stavern regarded the expenditures as business, not private. So Van Stavern could not be held personally liable.

Remember that on Sutton Steel that's not excessively harsh. Sutton understood it was working with a building company and did not seek to get the personal approval of the contract from Van Stavern.

Lawfully, Sutton's agreement in this case is called an unaccepted offer which can be withdrawn at any time.

Suppose labor's share of output is 60% and capital's share of output is 40%. If labor grows at a rate of 5%, then this will caus

12345 [234]

If capital grows at a rate of 5%, then this will cause output to grow at a rate of 1%.

Given,

Labor's share of output = 60%

Capital's share of output = 40%

Labor grows on a rate of = 5%

Capital grows on a rate of = 5%

Thus, output will grow at a rate of = ?

SR(t) = Δy/Δt/Y - (αΔk/Δt/k(t) + (1-α)(ΔL/Δt/L(t))

Here, α = 60%

So, labor's share = (1 - 0.6) × 5 = 2%

Capitals contribution = 0.4 × 5 = 2%

Implied rate of growth in technology is also given,

SR = (5) - (2+2)

= 1%

Hence, if capital grows at a rate of 5%, then this will cause output to grow at a rate of 1%.

How can a country gain from specialization and trade? A. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has an absolut

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

C. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has a comparative advantage and then trade for other needed goods and services.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is simply evaluating the opportunity cost of other benefits or costs, if the country is opting to choose for a specific category of goods for production purposes.

For example, let's say US can produce 20 Television (TV) sets and 50 Air Conditioners in a month. Here, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 Air Conditioners. Similarly, the opportunity cost of producing 1 Air Conditioner (AC) is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 TV set. Hence, US should produce Air Conditioners over TV sets as per Comparative Advantage concept.

Take another example, let's say UK can produce 50 Television (TV) sets and 20 Air Conditioners in a month. Hence, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 Air Conditioner. On the other hand, the opportunity cost of producing 1 AC is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 TV sets. Thus, UK should produce TV sets over AC's as per Comparative Advantage model.

Hence, US should export AC's to UK and import TV sets from UK to gain from specialization and trade.

In this way nations can gain from specialization and trade by making use of Comparative Advantage theory.

It is to be noted that Absolute Advantage model of Adam Smith is also good as it highlights production of that good by a country, which it can produce in large quantities with fewer resources and minimal time than any other nation in the world. But the Comparative Advantage Model developed by David Ricardo considers opportunity cost and is much more refined than Absolute Advantage Model.
