Answering the question, in flexible manufacturing, machines are designed to do multiple tasks so that they can produce a variety of products.

A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) refers to a production technique that is developed to easily adjust to changes in the amount and types of product that is being manufactured

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

It is an automated machine cell that is made up of different categories of processing workstations which are linked together with automated materials handling and storage.

A flexible manufacturing system can have a positive impact on production; it can also reduce a company's cost of production. A flexible manufacturing system can also be a major part of a build-to-order strategy whereby consumers can request to customize the product they desire.

This production method can be very expensive, buying and setting up the equipment that will perform such task will attract a higher upfront cost.

Also, humans are required to effectively control the operation of the flexible manufacturing system.

Some of the functions mainly performed by humans in this production method include

Replacing and settings the tools in the system
Offloading the finish parts from the manufacturing system
Placing the raw work parts into the manufacturing system and many more

The idea behind a flexible manufacturing system was developed by Jerome H. Lemelson.

Answer:

Answer is B

Explanation:

Cash flow = Net Income + Adjustment for Non-Cash expenses

So we must first calculate the Net Income for the second year using the Profit and Loss Statement format:

Year 2

Revenue $400,000

Less Expenses ($220,500)

Less Depreciation ($ 20,000)

Profit before Tax $159,500

Less Tax ($54,230) {34% of Profit before Tax}

Net Income $105,270

Add Depreciation $20,000

Cashflow $125, 270

{Remember Depreciation is a non cash expense, so we must add it to the Net income to arrive at the cash flow}

(Remember the company expects no change in revenue)

The capital-to-labor ratio is:Question 40 options:a) a key element in decreasing real wages.b) high in rich countries.c) the rat

andrezito [222]

Answer:

b) high in rich countries.

Explanation:

Capital-to- labour ratio measure the degree of capitalisation of an economy.

Labour is the service that is given by workers in exchange for salaries in the production process.

Capital is the long term input that is put into the manufacturing process, usually in the form of machinery or systems that automate production.

Capital-to-labour ratio= Total capital/ Total labour

Rich countries have a high level of capitalisation of their production process, where a lot of activity is automated. So capital is high and labour input is low. This results in a high capital-to-labour ratio.

On the other hand poor countries are more labour inensive, so their capital-to-labour ratio is low.
