Millions of software programs have been created and have helped to improve the economy.

Various financial data for Year 1 and Year 2 follow. Calculate the total productivity measure and the partial productivity measu

Ber [7]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

With regards to the above, the formula for total productivity measure is

= Output Sales( Total output) / Total Input

Total productivity measurement for Last year.

Output sales = $200,000

Total input = Input labor + Raw materials + Energy + Capital + others

= $30,000 + $35,000 + $5,000 + $50,000 + $2,000

= $122,000

Therefore, total productivity measure

= $200,000/$122,000

= 1.64

Total productivity measurement for this year

Output sales= $220,000

Total input = Input labor + raw materials + energy + capital + others

= $40,000 + $45,000 + $6,000 + $50,000 + $3,000

= $144,000

Therefore, total productivity measure

= $220,000/$144,000

= 1.53

Partial productivity for last year

Output sales = $200,000

Input = Input labor + raw materials + capital

= $30,000 + $35,000 + $50,000

= $115,000

Partial productivity measure = $200,000/$115,000

= 1.74

Partial productivity measure for this year

Output sales = $220,000

Input = Input labor + raw materials + capital

= $40,000 + $45,000 + $50,000

= $135,000

Therefore, partial productivity measurement for last year

= $220,000/$135,000

= 1.63

The above measures indicates that there is a reduction in total productivity measures from last year to this year. Same applies to partial productivity measures for both years.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Net income increase - $4,890

Explanation:

The computation of the effect on net income is shown below:

= Number of pounds of inferior product × (standard price for the materials - inferior product price per pound)

= 3,000 pounds × ($13 - $11.37)

= 3,000 pounds × $1.63

= $4,890 increase

For determining the effect we took the difference of the prices and then multiply it with the number of pounds of the inferior product

Return on assets is a profitability ratio that shows how much in net income a company is able to generate from its assets.

It is a financial measure that shows the net profit a company is able to generate per $1 invested in assets.

Mathematically,

Return on asset = net income/average total asset

= $800,000/$4,000,000

One year ago, Alpha Supply issued 15-year bonds at par. The bonds have a coupon rate of 6.5 percent, paid semiannually, and a fa

Masja [62]

Answer:

option (C) - 6.11%

Explanation:

Data provided :

Coupon rate one year ago = 6.5% = 0.065

Semiannual coupon rate = $\frac{0.065}{2}$ = 0.0325

Face value = $1,000

Present market yield = 7.2% = 0.072

Semiannual Present market yield, r = $\frac{0.072}{2}$ = 0.036

Now,

With semiannual coupon rate bond price one year ago, C

= 0.0325 × $1,000

= $32.5

Total period in 15 years = 15 year - 1 year = 14 year

or

n = 14 × 2 = 28 semiannual periods

Therefore,

The present value = $C\times[\frac{(1-(1+r)^{-n})}{r}]+FV(1+r)^{-n}$

= $\$32.5\times[\frac{(1-(1+0.036)^{-28})}{0.036}]+\$1,000\times(1+0.036)^{-28}$

or

= $32.5 × 17.4591 + $1,000 × 0.37147

= $567.42 + $371.47

= $938.89

Hence,

The percent change in bond price = $\frac{\textup{Final price - Initial price}}{\textup{Initial price}}\times100\%$

= $\frac{\textup{938.89-1,000}}{\textup{1,000}}$

= - 6.11%

therefore,

the correct answer is option (C) - 6.11%
