Answer:
b). The average value of the 30 blue-chip stocks is down by 3.2%.
Explanation:
'Dow Jones Industrial Average' also known as 'DJIA' is characterized as the standard indicator to denote the stock-market prices of the shares of the major companies associated with blue-chip in the United States.
As per the question, a down or fall in DJIA by 3.2% would indicate that the stock prices of the companies trading with 'blue-chip' have faced a reduction in their share prices by 3.2% for that day. So, this allows the investors to keep a check on the stock prices and invest accordingly whenever they find it profitable. Thus, <u>option b</u> is the correct answer as the other options fail to convey this idea rather they either talk about the loss of value instead of decrease(in options a and c) or disassociates the entire concept with the stock market(in option d).
Answer:
Learning curve theory states that as the quantity of a product produced increase , the man-hours per unit expended producing the product decrease.
Explanation:
The learning curve states that if a person performs similar task again and again, then after a period of time there will be an improvement in his/her performance.
It is calculated using following formula.
Y = ax^b
.
Y = cumulative average time per unit or batch.
a = time taken to produce initial quantity.
X = the cumulative units of production or, if in batches, the
cumulative number of batches.
b = the learning index or coefficient, which is calculated as:
log learning curve percentage ÷ log 2. So b for an
90 per cent curve would be log 0.9 ÷ log 2 = – 0.152
Answer: D. All of the above
Explanation: The three options listed could explain why the productivity of labor increased with a reduction in the quantity of labor hired. The law of diminishing returns states that as more and more inputs of production are added, a time comes in when additional inputs causes no corresponding increase in productivity. At points like this a reduction in the input added would restore productivity.
Reducing the amount of labor obviously is a labour saving technical change. Changes in organizational innovation can also result in changes in productivity.

Preparation of traditional income statement
Sales $600 × 6,700. $40,20,000
Less variable cost
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Materials handling $27,000
Direct materials $3,000 Direct labor (600 hours) $9,000 Number of material moves 4
Expected activity for the four activity drivers that would be used are: Machine hours 5,000 Material moves 600 Setups 200 Quality inspections 1,000
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 27,000/600= $45 per material move
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 45*4= $180
